Call to Mission & Ministry 1 Vision and Mission Goals 1.1 The Vision of the North Alabama Conference is: Every church challenged and equipped to grow more disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives.

2 The Ministry of All Christians 2.1 "The church as the community of the new covenant has participated in Christ's ministry of grace across the years and around the world. It stretches out to human needs wherever love and service may convey God's love and ours. The outreach of such ministries knows no limits. Beyond the diverse forms of ministry is this ultimate concern: that all persons will be brought into a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ and be renewed after the image of their creator (Colossians 3:10). This means that all Christians are called to minister wherever Christ would have them serve and witness in deeds and words that heal and free." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 126) 2.2 "This ministry of all Christians in Christ's name and spirit is both a gift and a task. The gift is God's unmerited grace; the task is unstinting service. Entrance into the church is acknowledged in baptism and may include persons of all ages. In this sacrament the church claims God's promise, the seal of the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). Baptism is followed by nurture and the consequent awareness by the baptized of the claim to ministry in Christ placed upon their lives by the church. Such a ministry is ratified in confirmation, where the pledges of baptism are accepted and renewed for life and mission. Entrance into and acceptance of ministry begins in a local church, but the impulse to minister always moves one beyond the congregation toward the whole human community. God's gifts are richly diverse for a variety of services; yet all have dignity and worth." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 127)

3 The Journey of a Connectional People 3.1 "Connectionalism in the United Methodist tradition is multi-leveled, global in scope, and local in thrust. Our connectionalism is not merely a linking of one charge conference to another. It is rather a vital web of interactive relationships." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 130) 3.2 "The purpose of the annual conference is to make disciples for Jesus Christ by equipping its local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church; all to the glory of God." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 601)

CALL TO MISISON & MINISTRY

1.2 The Mission Goals of the North Alabama Conference are: • Provide Effective Leadership; • Establish New Communities of Faith; • Become Servants Like Jesus; • Help Children and Youth to be Disciples.

3.3 "The annual conference, for its own government, may adopt rules and regulations not in conflict with the Discipline of The United Methodist Church." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 604)

CALL TO MISISON & MINISTRY

3.4 These procedures aim: • To organize around our mission goals; • To keep our structure as simple and flexible as possible to respond to mission goals; • To keep to a minimum the number of people and amount of time and energy devoted to administration in order to free people for hands-on servant ministries; • To make spiritual formation and discernment an integral part of the work of all Conference groups; • To move from standing committees with broad concerns, to teams of people with skills and passion who come together to accomplish a particular mission or ministry; • To focus Conference groups on equipping our local churches to make disciples; • To connect United Methodists to accomplish together those ministries that no one congregation can do on its own. 3.5

Throughout this Call to Mission and Ministry, various groups are led by a Convenor and a Spiritual Guide. The task of the Convenor is to convene a team and, where indicated, to invite others to become part of the team. The Convenor serves as the chairperson of the team. The task of the Spiritual Guide is to bring the Wesleyan spiritual practices into the life and work of the team. These disciplines include worship, prayer and fasting, Bible study, Christian conferencing, and acts of mercy and service.

4 Servant Leadership 4.1 "Within The United Methodist Church, there are those called to servant leadership, lay and ordained. Such callings are evidenced by special gifts, evidence of God's grace, and promise of usefulness. God's call to servant leadership is inward as it comes to the individual and outward through the discernment and validation of the Church. The privilege of servant leadership in the Church is the call to share in the preparation of congregations and the whole Church for the mission of God in the world." (2004 Book of Discipline, ¶ 136) 4.2 The Conference Staff, under the direction of the Director of Connectional Ministries, is responsible to assure that all agencies of the Annual Conference meet and organize as soon as possible following their election. 4.3 Each Conference agency, board, commission, committee, council, task force, and team annually clarifies its purposes and how it will further the Conference goals and vision. Each group sets objectives for each year and evaluates what the group has accomplished at the end of that period.

In order to accomplish its work, the Conference Nominating Team, or the Bishop and the Conference Leadership Team, may invite other persons to serve as members of the Team as needed, as long as the number of lay members always exceeds the number of clergy members on the Conference Leadership Team. The Bishop serves as Chairperson. The Bishop may delegate the responsibility to preside over any meeting of the Team to another member of the Team.

6.2

Responsibilities: • To be visionary in leading the Conference to follow the call of Jesus Christ to make disciples; • To be stewards of the Conference vision and to oversee the implementation of the Conference goals; • To align resources, structure, staff, and activity of the Annual Conference in support of the Conference vision and mission goals; • To seek input from the various ministry teams and support teams as well as agencies, institutions, and individuals within the Conference in building the Conference unified budget; • To work with the Finance Team to develop a budgeting process and annual budgets that reflect the Conference vision and goals; • To create new teams as needed to fulfill the Conference vision and misison goals.

Setting the Bar of the Conference – Mark Lacey, Conference Secretary The Secretary moved that the Bar of the Conference should be the seating area of the sanctuary, stage and sound booth. Approved. Agenda – Mark Lacey, Conference Secretary, moved that the agenda shall be the report presented by the District Study Team and that our voting on this report will be limited to setting the number of districts in the Annual Conference as per Paragraph 415.4 of the 2004 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church. In the event that the report by the District Study Team is approved there will be two other votes taken that are pertinent to the implementation of the proposal. In the event that the report of the District Study Team is not approved there will be no other business brought before this Called Session of the Annual Conference. The Conference Secretary also requested that all motions must be in writing. Presentation of District Study Team - Barbara Harper, Chairperson. • The Chairperson presented the work of the District Study Team. • Bill Brunson reported on the history of this District Study Team and the history of previous studies in the Annual Conference concerning district composition. • Bill Bostick addressed the Annual Conference as a member of the District Study Team concerning the role of the District Superintendent. • Gloria Holt, Lay Leader, addressed the Annual Conference concerning how the re-districting will affect the local church. • Hal Noble, Dean of the Cabinet, addressed the Annual Conference about the many ways he was disciplined into the faith by many people within the Annual Conference.

SPECIAL SESSION

Bishop Willimon called for an open discussion. • Jim Seale, Birmingham-East District spoke on behalf of the proposal. • Herb Williamson asked for a clarification on Bullet #2, Paragraph 3 of the proposal. Is the intent to have the new plan in place by 2007 or to have the new plan determined by 2007? Barbara Harper responded that the plan was to have it on paper by 2007. • Herb Williamson also asked about Bullet #3, which stated that the new structure would be reported on the website. Barbara Harper responded that they would communicate the plan in many ways.

• Robert Hurst raised the question “Why are we losing so many people?” The Bishop responded by saying we are losing members for multi-faceted, complex reasons and the Cabinet wishes to respond to the reasons for the decline. • Burl Oliver – Made an amendment to delete the time line of 2007. Amendment did not pass. • Bob Henshaw, Huntsville District, spoke on behalf of the Amendment. • Abigail Carlisle-Wilke raised the question of whether we are we cutting enough of the districts? Barbara Harper responded by saying the move from twelve to eight districts was a reduction of one third and a good place to start. • Alex Oberneder raised the question if this change will this be enacted by Charge Conference 2006? Barbara Harper stated the process would begin, but not be in place by that time. • Bill Davis spoke against the proposal. • Bill Bostick gave a point of clarification. He said the plan would be sensitive to where we have had loss of membership as well as attempting an equitable distribution of small, medium and large churches. He also stated that the 2007 date does not preclude beginning implementation prior to 2007. • Woodfin Grove – Anniston moved for the question. • Joe Moore – Moved for a written ballot.

SPECIAL SESSION

Bishop Willimon reminded the Annual Conference that they set the number of districts, but the bishop and cabinet set the geographic boundaries and make-up of the districts. However, they wanted a joint effort and the transition team will work with the cabinet. He also stated that the realignment committee would remain in existence.

Mississippi was very thankful for Alabama and New York. Hal Noble informed the Conference of Listening Sessions across the Conference.

Report of The District Study Team to the Called Session of The North Alabama Annual Conference January 28, 2006

The District Study Team, authorized by the 2004 Session of the North Alabama Annual Conference, has met to study the district structure and makes the following recommendations: We recommend that the number of districts within the bounds of the North Alabama Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church be reduced to eight districts by the 2007 regular session of the North Alabama Annual Conference. We recommend, in accordance with The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church 2004, ¶ 415.4, that the bishop, in consultation with the district superintendents: • Establish the district lines of these eight districts in an expedient manner • Determine the best possible timeline for implementing these new boundaries no later than the 2007 regular session of the North Alabama Annual Conference • Report these new boundaries to the annual conference as soon as possible via the North Alabama Annual Conference website. We recommend that the District Study team remain organized to consult with the bishop and cabinet for the next five years in making adjustments to the district lines as needed. We further recommend that a transition team be nominated and elected at the special session to assist with all the legal, financial, and property matters related to reducing the number of districts.

MINUTES

First Day — Opening Session Thursday, June 1, 2006 Members and guests of the 2006 Annual Conference were greeted with beautiful gathering music of familiar hymn tunes improvised by Paul Saik, conference worship leader. The praise band from Innerchange UMC led the Annual Conference in singing praise songs. Bishop William Willimon noted that traditionally Annual Conferences begin with the singing of the Wesleyan hymn, And Are We Yet Alive, and the Innerchange Band led the Annual Conference in singing a contemporary arrangement of the hymn. Bishop William Willimon called the One Hundred Thirty-Seventh North Alabama Annual Conference to order and then Bishop Willimon opened in prayer. Bishop Willimon introduced the president of Birmingham-Southern College, Dr. David Pollick who gave welcome to the Annual Conference. He shared some of the remarks he gave to the graduating class of Birmingham-Southern College. He asked them, “Are you ready?” Dr. Pollick then read portions of 1 Corinthians 13 and noted that without love we are not ready. Dr. Pollick challenged the members that as they go into conference “may love guide all of your thoughts and words.” Bishop Willimon then gave welcome to Paul Saik, conference worship leader, who then led us in the opening worship. Following worship, Bishop Willimon introduced the Conference Secretary, Sherill Clontz. Rev. Clontz set the bar of the Annual Conference as the floor, stage, and Sections 3, 4, 12 and 13. - 188 -

Rev. Clontz nominated as Assistant Secretaries, Kathy Clements, Nancy Hornsby, Buddy McCullough and Richard Stryker. These nominees were approved. Rev. Clontz proposed the approval of both the Consent Agenda and Consent Calendar. Both were received and approved. After the closing hymn, The Church's One Foundation, Bishop Willimon adjourned the Annual Conference to the respective Clergy and Laity Executive Sessions.

Second Day — Morning Session Friday, June 2, 2006 Bishop William Willimon called the morning session to order. Bishop Willimon called upon Rev. Sherill Clontz, Annual Conference Secretary, to explain the consent calendar and agenda. A motion was presented from the floor to lift the Resolution on the War on Iraq from the Consent Calendar. Motion seconded and the resolution was removed from the calendar.

A lay member from Dadeville First moved for the Briefing Paper on Abortion submitted by Church on Society be lifted from the Consent Agenda for discussion. Motion was seconded removed from the Consent Calendar. Paul Messer, District Superintendent Roanoke, moved that Report # 6 from The Commission on Equitable Salary be lifted. Motion was seconded and Report #6 was placed on the consent agenda. Ben Shackleford, Trinity, Huntsville, moved that Report #14 from The Commission on Equitable Salary be lifted. Motion seconded and Report #14 was lifted from the Consent Calendar. Bishop Willimon next called for reports from Leadership Ministries and Rev. Dale Cohen, Director of Connectional Ministries was recognized. Rev. Cohen briefly explained the function of the Office of Connectional Ministries. He suggested that Connectional Ministries is strategically located between the local church and the general conference. It is relational as evidenced by the overwhelming response of our local churches, the North Alabama Conference, and UMCOR through our response to Hurricane Kartina. Rev. Cohen gave appreciation for the leadership of those within the Connectional Ministries staff. Rev. Cohen introduced a new staff position, Assistant Director of Congregational Development for Ethnic Churches and Thomas Muhomba will assume that position. Rev. Cohen welcomed Thomas Muhomba to speak to the Annual Conference. Muhomba, a native of Zimbabwe, said that God's Kingdom has grown so much that he sees himself as a missionary to America. He told the Annual Conference that “wherever we need to plant a new church is a mission field.” Rev. Cohen reported that the Office of Connectional Ministries focuses on the North Alabama Conference mission statement by working with local churches through the Natural Church Development program. He suggested that this process could do more to help congregations grow than anything we have done in the - 189 -

Rev. Clontz asked for if there were any further items to be lifted from the Consent Calednar.

past. The North Alabama Conference could become a conference that is growing significantly. He reported that there are 100 people trained as coaches and that 80% of churches will be growing at the end of two years within this process. Rev. Cohen suggested that the two most significant ways of staying focused on the mission statement will be to develop new communities of faith and to utilize Natural Church Development for existing churches. Further, the Annual Conference will need to focus our resources and focus on making disciples. Bishop Willimon stated that the purpose of this body, the Annual Conference is to enable churches to make disciples. Bishop Willimon reminded the Annual Conference that there was a prayer vigil in progress for the conference by local churches. Bishop Willimon called on Gloria Holt, North Alabama Conference Lay Leader. Holt addressed the Annual Conference in what she referred to as her “Swan Song” as her tenure as Conference Lay Leader would be ending at this Annual Conference. Holt said that in her experience she has witnessed that there were three things blamed for why churches are not growing: The preacher, the location, and the Resources. The following are Holt's main points: Preacher: • Everyone of us is guilty of not being a witness for Jesus Christ. Laity come in contact with people the preacher does not. • The sheep multiply the sheep, not the shepherd. • There must be a spirit of cooperation between the pastors and lay leadership

MINUTES

Location: • If your location is not working then do something about it. Resources: • Within every church are the resources that a church needs, most of all it needs vision. Where there is vision, God will give the “provision.” • Establishing new communities of faith is the most effective way to make new disciples. • Have we forgotten the reason for being? Have we lost our passion? Jesus has entrusted us with the mission: Go and make disciples. Bishop Willimon next called on Paul Saik to lead the Annual Conference in song. Bishop Willimon then called on Rev. Hal Noble, Dean of the Cabinet, to give the report from the Cabinet. Rev. Noble detailed the extensive work that has been done to prepare for the redistricting. To make this transition it has taken the work of the conference staff, Board of Ordained Ministry, Terry McElheney, Conference Chancellor, and many others working on various details. District Conferences will have to meet to incorporate and elect district officers. The North Alabama Conference is in the process of moving from transition to transformation. Bishop Willimon next called on Rev. Cohen to present Report F from the Nominations Team. Bishop Willimon called for other nominations from the floor. Charles Crane, Central Park, nominated Pat Meadows for Conference Lay Leader, and the nomination was seconded.

- 190 -

There were no other nominations from the floor. Bishop Willimon called for Ellen Harris, the nominee named by the nominations committee, and Pat Meadows to give a statement from the floor of the Annual Conference. Pat Meadows spoke of his involvement in the United Methodist Church and his concern about what dynamics it takes to grow the church. Ellen Harris also shared her involvement in the United Methodist Church. She pledged that her door would always be open to listen and would appreciate the support. Bishop Willimon called for the vote for Conference Lay Leader. Ellen Harris was elected.

Bishop Willimon next called on Oliver Clark to report from the Conference Visioning Team. Rev. Clark suggested that the need to fine tune the vision and mission statements was anticipated. The Conference Visioning Team proposed that the Core Values be leaner in words to make them more accessible. They are as follows: • Biblically rooted, passionate spirituality • Love of all people • Christ-shaped community • Empowering Leadership • Nurturing • Commitment • Stewardship • Integrity The Visioning Team proposed that a new Vision Statement be adopted that will state: Every church challenged and equipped to grow more disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives. The change from make to grow is significant because it is an organic model. Disciples grow in the soil and climate where a church is located. The addition of the word more emphasizes our passion to reach out and share the Gospel with others and not just nurture those who are already disciples. Rev. Clark moved for the approval of the report. The report was approved with the adoption of the change in wording of the Vision Statement. Bishop Willimon introduced Dr. Laceye Warner who led the Conference Bible Studies. Bishop Willimon referred to her as one of the fresh new voices in United Methodist evangelism. Much of her scholarly work has been in the area of Women Pioneers in Methodism. A video in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Full Ordination Rights for Women was shown highlighting clergy women from the North Alabama Conference. Paul Saik, conference worship leader, presented a gift of his musical talent. Dr. Warner used as her text for study, Ephesians 4:1-5. Today's session focused on calling: “Through our baptism we are all called…to ministry.” Dr. Warner highlighted the lives of several women in Methodism who relied on their baptism for their identity, were willing to discern their call, and sought mentor in the faith: • Susanna Wesley, mother of John Wesley. • Mary Bosanquet Fletcher-Outward practices to reflect her inward love.

- 191 -

MINUTES

Rev. Cohen then moved that the entire nominations report be approved. The report was approved.

• Julia Goote first woman in AMEZ ordained Deacon then later Elder. • Lucy Rider Meyer-Deaconess. Dr. Warner left her listeners with a quote from Mary Bosanquet Fletcher: “Can I do more for the bodies or souls about me?” Another segment of the Women in Ministry video was shown. Short break. Bishop Willimon next called on Rev. Roger Thompson to give the report from the Board of Ordained Ministry. Rev. Thompson reminded the Annual Conference that it is within the local church where we help people hear and recognize their call into the ordained ministry. Rev. Thompson called for all those who have been newly licensed as pastors to stand and be recognized. A video featuring the new probationary elders and deacons was shown as the candidates gathered at the foot of the stage. Rev. James Robertson, representing the retired pastors, presented the Bible to Rev. Melissa Saccucci. Rev. Robertson passed on the words he received at his ordination service, “Hold On!” Saccucci represented the class of 2007 with thanks and the challenge “to give the never-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ to the everchanging world.”

MINUTES

The Board of Ordained Ministry gave a special presentation to Rev. Mac Chapman in appreciation for his service to the Board of Ordained Ministry. According to Paragraph 605.6 in the Book of Discipline, “there shall be an inquiry into the character of all those to be appointed.” Rev. Thompson reported that there were no problems. Bishop Willimon called all those who will be retiring at this Annual Conference, Elders, Deacons, Associate Members and their spouses and then asked them to come forward while a video was played reflecting their collective ministry and memories as well as words of encouragement as they pass on the torch. Bishop Willimon noted the wisdom in this group of retirees. Bishop Willimon recognized Aida Lea Barrera-Segura from the Hispanic Mission in Decatur-La Casa del Pueblo de Dios. She is the first woman ordained from Mexico. Bishop Willimon then recognized James Harper, retiring Associate member at Shawmut, Roanoke District, who is battling cancer. Bishop Willimon congratulated Rev. Harper on his fighting spirit and expressed gratitude that he is here at Annual Conference. Rev. Hal Noble, Dean of the Cabinet, reported that the following churches will close this Annual Conference: Oak Hill (AL), Oak Grove (AL), St Paul's (BE), Midfield (BW), Gaylesville (G), Young's Chapel (R), Mt. Gilead (R), Buttston (R), Cragford (R), Asbury (T), El Bethel (T), Pickensville (T), Soule's Chapel (T), and Wiley (T). He also reported the following two church starts that will be discontinued: Daybreak (AN) and Horizons (S) Bishop Willimon called for approval of these two reports. The reports were approved. Adjourned for lunch to reconvene at 2:00 p.m. - 192 -

Second Day — Afternoon Session Friday, June 2, 2006 Paul Saik, conference worship leader, led the members in singing. Bishop Willimon thanked the Annual Conference for over $11,000.00 collected in the Katrina offering received at the Commissioning Service. Bishop Willimon recognized retired missionary Mildred Taylor for her service and presence at Annual Conference. Bishop Willimon also recognized Duncan Hunter for this being his 64th Annual Conference. Sarah Lindsey, Decatur, moved that all votes be standing votes. The motion was seconded and discussion held. The vote was called and the motion passed. Bishop Willimon now called on the report from the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits. Rev. Terry Greer recommended the approval of Report #1. The report was approved. Rev. Greer asked for the approval of Report #2. The report was approved.

Rev. James Haskins reported on the Conference health insurance, Health Flex, which emphasizes a wellness program. Haskins encouraged everyone to go online and complete HealthQuotient no later than December 1, 2006 by visiting www.gbophb.org and clicking on WebMD/HealthFlex. With 100% participation the North Alabama Conference will receive a rebate. The premiums proposed for 2007 reflect the concern to keep health care costs down for families. The proposed premium for Individual coverage is $548 per month. The proposed premium for Dependents is also $548 reflecting a savings for those with dependents. The Annual Conference is using the Reserve Fund to offset the costs with a one-time use. Haskins called for the approval of Report #4. The report was approved. Scott Selman presented a report on the Funding Plan for Clergy Retirement Security Program, Report #5 and asked for its approval. The report was approved. Scott Selman noted that Reports #6, 7 and 8 were within the Consent Calendar. No further action would be necessary. Bishop Willimon next called on Rev. Paul Messer to report on the Equitable Salary Commission. Report # 6 which had been lifted from the Consent Agenda. Rev. Messer moved that the amount of $2,000.00 allotted for moving expenses be replaced by $3,000.00. The motion received a second and discussion was held. Paul Messer spoke for the motion by pointing out that the amount of $2,000.00 has been in place for as long he can remember. The amount is no longer reasonable. To increase the amount will keep a pastor's request more reasonable. There being no other discussion the vote was called and the motion passed.

Report #1, the 2007 budget was presented and Bishop Willimon called for Report #1 to be approved. Rev. Suzie Knedlick reported that some members of the Annual Conference never received copies of the proposed budget. Rev. Herb Williamson questioned the absence of funding for stewardship. He noted the desperate need for stewardship. Rev. Kenneth Dunivant, First Tuscaloosa, presented moved for an amendment to the CFA Report #1 for the purpose of restoring Birmingham-Southern College, Huntingdon College, and the Children's Home to the 2006 budget level. The following amounts would be restored: Birmingham-Southern College-$422,000; Huntingdon College-$82,000, and the Children's Home-$41,500, causing an increase on the budget of $175,000. The motion was seconded and discussion was held. Rev. Dunivant spoke for the motion. He suggested how important these colleges are to our ongoing recruitment of pastors and other leadership in the local church. This support is given for scholarships. Susan Howard spoke against the motion by stating the ability of these institutions to receive funding from other sources. Dr. Neal Berte spoke for the motion. Dr. Berte commented that Birmingham-Southern College is seeing an increase in students who are interested in religion and pursuing careers in the church. He also noted that the college is fulfilling its role as a church-related institution with staff and programs aimed at building this relationship. Dr. Berte also emphasized that all the money goes towards scholarships. Rev. Mickey Morgan spoke against the motion. He expressed his feelings of being torn at this issue. He noted how deeply grateful he is for the words shared for the work of these institutions. He said he also - 194 -

understands the struggles and the process CFA faces when developing a budget. Rev. Morgan suggested that there are other ways that funding can be reached for these institutions. A question was raised by Julie Lockwood, Huntsville. She was concerned with the fact that the items being cut were being cut by a very high percentage. Bishop Willimon called on Scott Selman to address these concerns. Selman explained that for many years the Annual Conference increased the budget only in low percentages compared to local church budgets. To do this the Reserve Fund had to be used. Now the CFA is trying to move away from funding from the Reserve fund. Andy Wolfe, clergy, Trinity Homewood, spoke for the motion. He raised the fact that these ministries are being asked to take a 33% decrease in funding from the North Alabama Conference. Dale Cohen spoke against the motion. Cohen pointed out that there are other cuts besides these and that the issue is what will our priority be as an Annual Conference. He suggested that the way to grow the church is through new church development. He then proposed that in the future our concern will be with what to do with the money coming in instead of what will we cut out. Rev. Dunivant asked how would adding to section D will affect sections A, B, and C?

Dunivant suggested that the increase in giving from 2005 to 2006 showed a 7% increase in giving. Greer offered closing words from the committee. Tom Webster, youth delegate asked to speak for the motion. Bishop Willimon said this would be out of order because there had already been three speeches for the motion. Andy Wolfe moved to suspend the rules. The motion to suspend the rules passed. Tom Webster, youth delegate, spoke of his desire to attend Birmingham-Southern College, but with limited income coming from a preacher's family, he would be dependent on scholarships such as were being cut in the 2007 budget. Zach Riddle, youth delegate, spoke against the motion. Bishop Willimon called for the question. The Amendment to #1 was reread by Secretary Clontz who also reminded the conference of the sections within the Bar of the conference: sections 3, 4, 12, and 13, the floor and the stage. The Dunivant motion was “to amend the Council of Finance Report #1, the 2007 Budget by restoring to 2006 levels support for Birmingham-Southern College, Huntingdon College and UM Children's Home.” The amendment to Report #1 did not pass.

Bishop Willimon called on Scott Selman to answer. Selman noted that this motion would increase the budget by 7.28% increase.

Robert Bellew questioned whether pensions would be remitted to the conference or to the General Board. Scott Selman answered that pensions would continue to be remitted directly to the General Board. Suzie Knedlick questioned that only 25% will be spent on equitable salaries. Her question was whether 75% of Equitable Compensation would be going to new church development in addition to the $277,000. Scott Selman addressed the question. The money in the budget ($277,000) will not go towards new church development. Frank David Morgan, spoke against the report, suggesting that people in the churches do not trust many of the decisions made by General Conference. Gene Lankford, spoke against the report, expressing concern about the trend of slashing mission causes in order to fund new congregations. Charles Lee, Superintendent Tuscaloosa District, in speaking for the report commented that the United Methodist Church, though in a tough spot, is still a great people. He pointed out his amazement at how small churches gave enormous amounts to Katrina relief. He affirmed his belief that “we will come back again!” Carol Gullat, Huntsville District, speaking for the report, gave her appreciation and thanks to the General Conference and how it helps people to answer their call.

MINUTES

Wade Griffith, clergy, Trinity Homewood, spoke against Report #1 because of the decrease in the budget for the Children's Home which he said penalizes “the least of the least.” Rev. Griffith proposed an amendment to restore funding to the Children's Home, but the amendment was ruled out of order. Scott Selman reminded everyone that even though the amount in the budget has been decreased, all churches can give above and beyond their apportioned amount to the Children's Home, Birmingham-Southern College and Huntingdon College and he encouraged them all to do so. Herb Williamson, retired clergy, questioned why the same sense of risk and faith in starting new churches could not also be applied to maintaining/increasing our budget for the Children's Home and the two colleges. Bishop Willimon called for the vote on Council on Finance and Administration Report #1. The report was approved. Ten minute break. Bishop Willimon read a letter from Bishop and Faye Fannin with greetings to the Annual Conference.

Bishop Willimon called on Dale Cohen for a presentation on Stewardship. A video was shown to educate how givings to the World Service Fund are used. Cohen added that giving should be a joyful event. Dale suggested that as the Annual Conference focuses on the vision, the giving will follow.

Bishop Willimon noted that the North Alabama Conference is low in the number of female clergy. Another segment of the video of clergy women was shown. - 197 -

MINUTES

Cohen reported that a new team is being formed by pulling together those who are doing the very best in stewardship in order to share this with other churches. Part of Cohen's job is to communicate the work that the General Conference is doing. Cohen committed himself to doing a better job of communicating this good news. The most basic level is the individual lives of the people in the congregation. Cohen suggested that the Annual Conference needs to better understand connectionalism. Through connectionalism stewardship will become one of the Annual Conference's strengths. Any questions concerning stewardship can be addressed to Cohen and the Office of Connectional Ministries.

The Board of Higher Education voted to request the apportionment of Birmingham-Southern College and Huntingdon College be listed as a single line item under the name “Birmingham-Southern and Huntingdon College Student Scholarship Fund.” This action accomplishes two goals: 1. All Funds are designated for student scholarships. 2. Our covenant with Alabama-West Florida Conference will continue to be honored. Rev.

Bishop Willimon relayed a conversation he had with Lyle Schaller. Schaller suggested that the North Alabama Conference is “going to do a lot of good things but it could be overshadowed by death.” Rev.

Leadership Board of Ordained Ministry Report Every year that I have written this “Report Number One” of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry I have thought: “Didn't I just do this?” The conference year rolls around with blinding speed each year, and I find myself wondering how to begin, what to say, and what needs to be reported. Much occurs in the course of a year, and much of what occurs can't be reduced to the space of this report. The Board of Ordained Ministry is a group of approximately 60 folks, clergy and laity, who work hard throughout the year to provide “effective pastoral, servant-leaders” to the churches of the North Alabama Conference. Though the work of the Board occurs on a year-round basis, the bulk of our meeting time is in the annual “Interview Retreat” held in March at Sumatanga. “Interview Retreat” is just that a retreat during which we interview those persons who are seeking conference relationships. The hours are long, and the decisions are difficult. This year we interviewed some 39 persons - Probationary, Associate, and Full-Connection candidates. For Probationary and Associate candidates, the focus of the Board is on readiness - have they met the educational and other requirements for election as members of the Annual Conference? For Full-Connection candidates, in addition to readiness, there is the question of effectiveness - have they served effectively during their probationary period? The Board views its work with the utmost seriousness and with a sense of the sacredness of its task. One noteworthy change of policy by the Board this year has to do with persons in seminary. In the past several years, a change in theological education has occurred in the area of “on-line” or distance learning. The Conference Board has had a policy that _ of one's seminary work be completed on campus. However, the University Senate of the United Methodist Church has determined that up to 2/3 of one's theological education may be completed online. Further, each seminary has its own requirement for on campus time. The policy of the Conference Board has now been changed. The current policy is that the Conference Board will accept the guidelines of the seminary in which a student is enrolled in determining the amount of on-line work that is accepted. I invite your attention to the other reports of the Board that follow. Please note that the Board is requesting a change in a Conference policy regarding the service of Probationary Membership. The current policy, approved by the Conference in 1987, does not conform to the 2004 Book of Discipline, or the needs of our Annual Conference. The work of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry could not be accomplished without the guidance and assistance of our Office of Ordained Ministry. Dr. Mack Chapman and Mrs. Cindi Patsios have been invaluable to the work of the Board during the past year. It is with regret that we say goodbye to Mack Chapman, who will be retiring at Annual Conference this year. Mack has been a personal support to me as the Chair of the Board, as well as a valuable asset to the entire Board. We wish him well in his retirement. I also want to express my gratitude to the members of the Board for their hard work throughout the year. It is a pleasure to serve as the chair of this group.

In Christ's Service, Roger K. Thompson, Chair

Policy for Service of Probationary Membership The following policy was approved by the Annual Conference in 1987, and updated by the Board in 2003: “All probationary members must serve their probationary period under the supervision of a district superintendent appointed/assigned to a local church within the bounds of the North Alabama Annual Conference for the purpose of Word, Sacrament and Order for Elder track and Word and Service for Deacon Track. Exceptions must be approved by the Board of Ordained Ministry.” In the past several years, as the needs of the church have changed, the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry has found itself approving exceptions to the above policy on a regular basis. In fact, the approval of exceptions has become so commonplace as to make the Conference rule meaningless, and its enforcement haphazard, at best. Therefore, the Board recommends that the requirement of serving one's probationary period in “a local church within the bounds of the North Alabama Conference” be deleted, and that the requirements for the probationary period as set out by Paragraph 326 of the 2004 Book of Discipline be followed.

Approved by action of the Executive Committee on July 21, 2005 and was sustained by the Board of Ordained Ministry on September 8, 2005. Report for the Section on Deacons The Order of Deacon is a means of grace encouraging spiritual formation, Christian conversation, prayer and study. We seek to grow together in our Spiritual Disciplines, in modeling the connection of the altar and the world and in our accountability through our gatherings.

Last year, our order met for food and fellowship at the Annual Conference. In October, We met at Vestavia Hills UMC for a Day Apart. Bishop Willimon met with us to discuss his work as chair of the Study of Ministry for the General Conference. We prepared a list of questions for him prior to the meeting. He also shared with us his thoughts on some of the issues that his committee is working on. Scott Selman met with us to discuss insurance and retirement issues and how some of the new rulings of the Annual Conference and General Conference apply to Deacons. In the afternoon we had a workshop on Premarital Counseling led by Leon Precise. During the year, the chairperson of our order had to resign due to family illness. Roger Thompson, Chair of the Board of Ordained Ministry appointed Sheryl Thornton as interim chair. A nomination will be made and approved in February and should be in place by Annual Conference in June. - 293 -

REPORTS

Our conference received two new Deacons, Danette Schader and Suzanne Pruitt, and one commissioned Deacon, Sheri Ferguson, through transfer last year. This brings our total to eleven. We currently have seven Commissioned Deacons and 9 other certified candidates who have already declared that they are preparing for Deacons' orders. We welcome these brothers and sisters and look forward to the impact their ministry will have on our conference in the years to come.

There still seems to be considerable misunderstanding surrounding who Deacons are, and where is their place in ministry. As we live into these new days in the church, it is my prayer that Deacons will come to be understood, as we answer and live out our calling in service to the world and to the church. Sallie C. Colwick Chair, Sect. on Deacons

Bishop's Convocation on Ministry The 2005 Bishop's Convocation on Ministry was designed with a new format, some of our own preachers featured, new worship formats, refreshments provided by the caring people of a local congregation, and- as you knowwe did not experience any of these things. Appropriately so, Hurricane Katrina changed our plans and sent several hundred ministers to the effected areas for hurricane relief. Praise God for the good done in our lives and in the lives of those served. For 2006, the slate is clean for the Convocation and Bishop Willimon will be leading the design team in continuing to shape this event for us to be convened to focus on ministry and making disciples of Jesus Christ. Grace and Peace, Todd Henderson, Director of Bishop's Convocation on Ministry

Ministerial Education Fund It is a great joy seeing men and women answer God's call to the ordained ministry. It can be a daunting decision as many do this with limited financial means. For this reason the Ministerial Education Fund is one of the best investments our Conference makes, and it is being “connectional” in the best sense of the word. In the fall of 2005 we granted $65,650 in service grants to 34 students in the following seminaries:

REPORTS

Seminary Number of Students Attending Asbury (Wilmore, Kentucky) 4 Candler (Atlanta, Georgia) 16 Duke (Durham, North Carolina) 1 Gammon (Atlanta, Georgia) 1 Memphis (Memphis, Tennessee) 11 Vanderbilt (Nashville, Tennessee) 1 I am very encouraged as I see the quality men and women who are preparing themselves for ministry in the North Alabama Conference. We have many truly outstanding leaders in the making. I believe they will be among those who help our Conference not only turn around our membership losses of the last 30+ years, but more importantly to refocus upon the making of Disciples of Jesus Christ. Submitted by Chris Denson

Local Pastor Report We continue to have a higher percentage of our local pastors who are up to date in their Course of Study work. Various factors have contributed to this continued progress. District Committees are doing a better job of emphasizing the need to attend Course of Study School; having numerous weekend schools has provided greater flexibility and more opportunities; and the increased scholarship help provided by the Conference and Districts has made it more affordable for our Local Pastors to attend. - 294 -

The Fellowship of Local Pastors has also given a forum for Local Pastors to bring up topics that are important to their life situation and ministry. This group meets several times a year for fellowship, study, and legislative considerations that are important to local pastors. We thank our local pastors for their dedicated service that helps our Conference provide leadership in each of our local churches. The time they give beyond their secular employment is truly an act of faithfulness. It has been a joy for me to work with such a dedicated group of Christian men and women. I also want to thank Ted Peterson for the great job he has done as our Conference Registrar. Submitted by Robin Scott

Career Assessment and Pastoral Evaluation The North Alabama Conference has provided a process for those clergy who felt the need to look at their call to ministry and skills for ministry. This process entitled Career Assessment and Career Development has been revisited and revised. The following information is intended to offer a brief explanation of the processes. The programs will be named The Ministry Assessment and Effective Program and The Career Transition Program. The Ministry Assessment and Effectiveness Program is intended to be a help process for ministers early on as they or their District Superintendent sees a need for assistance or remediation. The process will include a team of peers, an evaluation consultant, the members, District Superintendent and others as needed. The team will assist the clergy member in identifying areas of need and monitoring the progress made by the member. At the end of the process a decision will be made about the member's future. The Career Transition Program is designed to assist a clergy member who wishes to transition from clergy status to general ministry. Components of this program include a Transitional Phase where monetary assistance and peer support may be provided for a designated time frame; a Career Transition Phase during which the clergy member assesses his/her skills and their relation to the job market; and the Financial and Peer Support Phase during which the clergy member may be assisted in transitioning into the congregational life as a general minister. These programs are designed to be programs of honest assistance. The District Superintendent and the Board of Ordained Ministry will have the specifics of these programs available upon request.

The Local Pastor Licensing School of the North Alabama Conference will be conducted under the auspices of the Board of Ordained Ministry in accordance with paragraph 315.2.b of The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, 2004, and in accordance with guidelines established by the Division of Local Pastors and Elders, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church and documented in chapter 11 of the Board of Ordained Ministry Handbook. The following information is offered to provide guidance for Candidates, Candidacy Mentors, Pastors, District Committees on Ordained Ministry (DCOM), District Superintendents, and other persons who are concerned with the Local Pastor Licensing School. • All persons, who are Certified Candidates or will be certified by February 26, 2006, are eligible to attend the school. (You may not be licensed until you have successfully completed Licensing School, been confirmed by the Clergy Session of the Annual Conference, provided the Board with a satisfactory certificate of good health on a prescribed form from a licensed physician [if you are to be covered under the North Alabama Conference's group health insurance plan] and are assigned to a church.)

Submitted By: Licensing School Team Order of Elders

REPORTS

In the 2004 Book of Discipline Paragraphs 305-309 , it states, there shall be in each conference an Order of Elders. All persons ordained as clergy in the UMC upon election to full membership in the annual conference shall be members of the Order. An Order is a covenant community within the church to: mutually support, care for, and hold accountable its members for the sake of the life and mission of the church and seek to respond to the spiritual hunger among clergy for: a fulfilling sense of vocation, for support among peers during stressful time of change in the church, and for a deepening relationship with God. There was an Order of Elders Steering Team formed. This Team has met several times to address the Order of Elders' objectives and goals passed down from the General Conference and the Bishop's vision as well. The team is prayerfully putting together an iterant schedule for the entire Order of Elders. This will be an exciting time for “Spiritual” renewal, re-dedication and re-connection: Annual Conference Breakfast, Spring Retreat, A Day With The Bishop, Bishop's Convocation and A Model/Pilot Program for each district. Further, it is important that the Order of Elders become a key focus for support, moral building, counseling and guidance. Sincerely, Elston D. McLain, Chairperson

Fellowship of Local Pastors I want to express my gratitude, as well as that of our Fellowship of Local Pastor, to past president Rev. Sam Horton and past Vide President Rev. Sherilene Harvey for the work that they accomplished while serving in their respective positions. Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank our steering committee for their work on establishing our “Covenant.” We, the Fellowship of Local Pastors, have embraced the vision as established in our covenant: as “Fully accepted clergy, on fire for God, engaged in continuous study and support that perpetuates effective witness and making disciples of Jesus Christ.” We are truly a denomination of smaller membership churches. On any given Sunday, the majority of our churches will have an attendance of less than 35 and those churches will be served by a local pastor. Local Pastors constitute the greater portion of pastors in the North Alabama Conference. The Fellowship of Local Pastors has as one of its goals to “provide for regular gatherings of Local Pastors and associate members for continuing formation in relationship to Jesus Christ through such experiences as Bible study, study of issues facing the church and society, and theological exploration in vocational identity and leadership.” Our desire is that each district will have a viable fellowship that will come together often for the “purpose of participating in the Means of Grace through: worship, participating in Holy Communion, remembering our baptism, studying scripture, praying for one another, the UMC, and the holy Catholic Church.” While driving through town recently I noticed a church sign that read “If You Are Not Using The Authorized King James Version of the Bible — You are going to Hell.” That sign made me realize the importance of the educational requirements for pastors that we enjoy in our denomination. One of the greatest attributes of the UMC is the requirement for pastors to be well educated. Along these same lines, the Fellowship of Local Pastors endeavors to “encourage Local Pastors in continued study beyond the course of study by seeking out and participating in the continuing education events sponsored by the general church, local conferences and The Fellowship.” Another goal of The Fellowship is to “develop a bond of unity and common commitment to the mission and ministry of The United Methodist Church and the annual conference by: Being faithful witnesses for Christ and His Church, affirming the connection and being loyal to The United Methodist Church, using the tithe as the standard for giving and sharing our talents and time, and continuing to strive to bring unity of the clergy within the connection.” The Fellowship of Local Pastors understands the pressures placed upon one in the ministry and especially those who are bi-vocational. Therefore, The Fellowship urges all in the ministry to “enable the creation of relationships that allow mutual support and trust by: encouraging one another to develop a program for use of time that will enable good health for ourselves and our families, mentoring each other and holding each other accountable to the rule and order of The Fellowship while being forgiving and gracious when we fail each other.”

All here today share a common calling — to go and make Disciples of Christ — as we go back to our parishes may we go inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell that old, old story and truly rescue the perishing. May God bless you in that endeavor! Submitted by Russell Williams President of Fellowship of Local Pastors

Finally, The Fellowship will hold accountable all members in fulfilling these purposes.

Conference Leadership Team Report to 2006 Annual Conference The Conference Leadership Team met three times this year. At each meeting, we invited all the ministry teams of the annual conference to gather for an opening worship service together followed by meetings of the individual teams. It was during these meetings that the teams planned and implemented their ministries for their specific tasks. Each meeting the teams were challenged to find ways not to do the ministries themselves, but to recognize their role as “challenging and equipping local churches” to be in ministry in their area. After lunch and a closing service of Holy Communion, the conveners and spiritual guides of the ministry teams were invited to sit with the Conference Leadership Team and share their plans for ministry. This was designed as a way of bringing the teams together for collaboration and cooperating in working toward fulfillment of the conference vision of “every church challenged and equipped to make disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives.” Following this time of inter-ministry coordination, the Conference Leadership Team met in session to deal with any matters on hand. The most significant work of the Conference Leadership Team is developing the budget that is presented to the Council on Finance and Administration and then to the session of the annual conference for adoption. This task is difficult given the rising costs of non-benevolent items. The pool of money for conference benevolences as a percentage of the overall budget has continued to shrink over the past several years and although all of the money in our budget goes toward ministry, we would like to be able to increase the funds available for those ministries that go more directly into making disciples and ministering to those whom God has called us to serve. This will require a renewed emphasis on stewardship in the local church that will assist local churches in increasing their funding for local ministries as well as support their efforts to participate in connectional giving at the 100% level. Steps are being taken at many different levels to provide resources that will assist the local church in developing a stronger ministry of giving. Maintaining a focus on making disciples is critical to the success of all our ministries in North Alabama. Every resource needed to do ministry is located in the hearts of those who faithfully follow Jesus Christ and so the more people we can bring into a relationship with Jesus Christ, the more resources (i.e., volunteers, leadership, money, ideas, etc.) there will be to support the ministries within the bounds of our annual conference. We must renew our commitment to the task of making disciples for Jesus Christ.

Connectional Ministries Report to 2006 Annual Conference This year was marked by two major developments that had an impact on the work of Connectional Ministries since the last annual conference meeting. The first development was the need created by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita for an extensive disaster response and relief effort. The second development was the initiation of Natural Church Development as a process for measuring and improving the health of congregations in the North Alabama Conference. From the first reports of damage from Hurricane Katrina and then Hurricane Rita, the people of the North Alabama Conference looked to our Disaster Response Team in the Office of Servants Like Jesus and our United Methodist Volunteers in Missions to mobilize us for mission and service to those in need. Disaster Response Coordinator Richard Stryker, Servants Like Jesus staff person Patrick Friday, and United Methodist Volunteers in Mission Coordinator Paulette West worked diligently and endlessly in helping coordinate our response that continues even now to the devastated regions along the Gulf Coast. Many lessons were learned from this event that will improve our response the next we are faced with a disaster of this magnitude, but overall the reports from the affected areas have been positive about the role that the North Alabama Conference has played in providing relief. In a meeting in January 2005 among Directors of Connectional Ministries from the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the UMC, we began the process for better coordination of our Disaster Relief efforts across conference lines. This was followed-up by a large gathering of staff and volunteers from all the annual conferences in the jurisdiction to formalize and implement a plan for a better-coordinated response in times of disaster. Little did anybody know at either of these meetings that we were prophetic in our planning which we only realized after Katrina hit and the newlyforming process was put to the test. Again, we learned many things that we will improve on to be better prepared for the next disaster, however, we are grateful for the foresight and planning that made our response as effective and as immediate as it was. In July of 2005 we brought in two Natural Church Development trainers who worked with the cabinet and about 40 other people who were trained as coaches in Natural Church Development (NCD). NCD is a process that involves a survey in a local church that is scored to determine the church's healthfulness in eight quality characteristics. Once the characteristic that is the lowest of the eight is identified, a coach works with a team in the church to assist them in addressing their “minimum factor.” By addressing the characteristic that is the lowest, the church is leveraging the one that, if improved, has the greatest likelihood of increasing the church's capacity to grow. Eighty percent of the churches that have done this process for two years are growing by the end of those two years. There is a benchmark on the index used in scoring the survey that if a church is able to achieve an index level of 65 or higher on all eight quality characteristics there is a 99.4% probability that the church is growing.

The Office of Connectional Ministries has continued to offer local church consultations in visioning and other training workshops and we anticipate the role of Connectional Ministries to grow in the new district process of training. Dale R. Cohen, Director Office of Connectional Ministries

- 299 -

REPORTS

An additional coaches training session was initiated in September and we will offer another at the end of April 2006 for those people who are qualified to serve as a coach to local churches. Our goal is to have 120 churches involved in NCD by annual conference 2006 in order to significantly boost spiritual and numerical growth in the North Alabama Conference.

Committee on Episcopacy The Committee on Episcopacy has been diligent in its support and encouragement of Bishop Willimon as we celebrate his second year as our Episcopal Leader. His energy, vision and dedication to our mission to make disciples is at the fore front of his heart and mind in what he does and leads us to do. We (the committee) are supportive of his work with young pastors in the area of preaching. We are grateful for his inexhaustible energy and willingness to be in the local churches of our conference. Listening to pastors and laity in North Alabama is a high priority of Bishop Willimon. His accessibility is deeply appreciated. All of this and more has fostered a spirit of celebration among us. After a long time of cultivating, planting, watering and all the other things that must take place for growth and change, Bishop Willimon has led our conference in reducing the number of districts and re-drawing the lines of the districts. That has taken years of skilled and committed leadership. We are grateful to Bishop Willimon for his part in making it happen. The Committee on Episcopacy is certain that there is more to be under his leadership, for which we are grateful.

The Commission on Equitable Compensation Report No. 1 Those persons who have responded to the call of God, fulfilled the educational requirements and have offered themselves to serve where they are appointed as pastors in the United Methodist Church should receive a reasonable and adequate level of financial compensation and benefits from the congregations that they serve. The Commission on Equitable Compensation sets these minimum compensation levels and other minimum levels associated with pastoral compensation with the hope that congregations will do their best to exceed these minimums. The unfortunate reality is that many of our congregations with full time pastors cannot afford to pay their pastors the minimum level of compensation that has been set by our annual conference. In these congregations, when proper application is made and requirements met the Commission on Equitable Compensation will provide compensation assistance to the church for the pastor. The Commission also supports the fulfillment of the Conference vision by assisting pastors in new church situations with salary support while the congregation is in its infancy and is in need of financial assistance. The Commission on Equitable Compensation is pleased with the minimum levels of compensation that have been set by the North Alabama Annual Conference for pastors. We are sensitive to the fact that with each increased level of compensation a greater financial burden is placed on local congregations struggling to pay conference apportionment's and support their pastor without the assistance of the annual conference. In light of the current economic conditions, it is felt that a modest increase is appropriate to help mitigate the increase in health insurance premiums for pastors and their families. The Commission on Equitable Compensation defines “charge compensation” as that amount set by the Charge Conference and reported to the Annual Conference. Charge compensation is composed of the following: (a) base compensation or base salary; (b) travel allowances; (c) utility allowance; (d) health insurance premiums paid by the charge for the pastor's dependents; and, (e) supplements from district funds, board of Global Ministries, or any other church source granting supplements. The Commission on Equitable Compensation urges each local church to establish an accountable reimbursement policy for its pastor by isolating travel expenses, professional, and business expenses from the salary figure for tax purposes. We also remind churches that when giving percentage salary raises for pastors the percentage should be based on pastor's total compensation (base salary, travel, business expense, and utilities). Family insurance is considered part of the compensation package but is set by the annual conference.

This information shall be included in the report of the Commission to the next session of the Annual Conference.

Report No. 8: Workload for Pastors and Demands for Salary Supplements In order to deploy the pastors of the Conference efficiently and responsibly, there must be both adequate financial support and an adequate workload for each pastor. It is not faithful Christian stewardship for the conference to supplement the salary of a pastor who is carrying less than what is considered a full-time workload. Therefore, we recommend that the minimum workload for a full-time pastor be defined as: a. One church with 150 or more members b. Two churches with 100 or more members c. Three or more churches, regardless of membership

Report No. 9: Publication of Compensation The word “equitable” is a relative term. In order to plan wisely and responsibly, churches often find it useful to compare their total compensation for their pastor to that of other churches. Therefore, the Commission on Equitable Compensation recommends that the total compensation of charges and appointed Conference staff positions be printed in the North Alabama Conference Journal each year.

SUMMARY

The Institute for Clergy Excellence Peer Learning as a Pathway to Excellence We believe clergy can develop new competencies, become better leaders of the community of faith, and discover new confidence and enjoyment in ministry through an intentional program of peer learning experiences. The purpose of the Institute for Clergy Excellence is to foster excellence through peer group learning experiences that provide collegial support, spiritual nurture, and ongoing renewal in ministry by focusing on preaching and worship leadership. The peer groups are self-selecting and, with the help of a trained process leader, design a unique three year learning plan that addresses the general focus: “Developing Pastoral Excellence through Preaching and Worship Leadership.” After the learning plan has been approved the peers will study together over time and hold one another accountable for the learnings. We have pioneered a method of transformational training for clergy which yields amazing results. On November 17, 2005 our ninth clergy peer group was approved. Two additional groups are projected for approval in May, 2006. Three additional groups are in the early formation stages. More than 500 laity are involved with their pastors to help them become more excellent preachers and worship leaders. The amazing energy in these teams is one of the clear signs that our efforts are already beginning to bear fruit. Recently the Institute office received this message from one of our group process leaders passing on a testimonial from a member of the peer group to which he is assigned:

Ordinarily this is not something that I would share because it seems to fall under the category of self-aggrandizement. However, in the spirit of rejoicing in improvement, I offer a quote from a note from the chair of Trustees: "I think your preaching is about to move to the next level. I've sensed a change in you as a preacher this year, and I like it. I've always said you're a better teacher than a preacher, but that's not true..." Thank you for being a part of my transformation. If there is a place to share comments like this with your colleagues or Lilly (preferably anonymously), feel free to do so. Blessings,

Lay Ministry Team “All of God's people in all places and at all times are called to love and to serve” (Ministry of the Laity) We are the LAOS — the people of God called, equipped, and empowered? One of our on-going goals is to continue to encourage the laity and the clergy in all our churches to serve together as partners in ministry. We are the body of Christ that was made to function as one in spirit, all in ministry. As always this past year has been full of activity and opportunities for ministry for the Lay Ministry Team. Great things are happening in all our districts. Our District Lay Leaders have served faithfully and well. All 12 of them are to be commended for answering God's call and working with their District Superintendents as partners in ministry. The District Lay Leaders are as follows: Albertville - Mike Hopper Anniston - Nathan Hill Birmingham East - John McQueen Birmingham West - Ellen Harris Decatur - Scott Stone Florence - Jarvis Brewer Gadsden - Karen Owen Huntsville - Carol Toney Jasper - Donna Hatley Roanoke - Guy Perry Sylacauga - Sam Frazier Tuscaloosa - Maurice Stuckey As we look to the future there will be many changes that will give us new opportunities for challenging and equipping the laity in our new districts. Because each of the districts will be larger geographically, it will be important for us to encourage and empower more lay leadership across the Conference. Raising up and mentoring new leaders must be a priority for us all.

Lay Speaking Ministries

Basic and Advanced lay speaking courses continue to be offered in the districts. We are blessed to have 69 Local Church and Certified Lay Speakers who serve our churches in many ways through leading, caring, and communicating ministries. Some are preaching on Sunday mornings, but the majority of our lay speakers are serving in numerous other areas both within and outside the church.

Handbook for Local Church Lay Leaders The Handbook for Local Church Lay Leaders is now available on the Conference website. It can be downloaded and distributed to all local church lay leaders as a resource for their ministry.

- 309 -

REPORTS

The Conference Director of Lay Speaking Ministries, Dave Palmer, along with the District Directors continue to vision and plan for ministry in new and exciting ways. A workshop on understanding racial diversity (Living together in Unity) is being planned for 2006.

Breakaway An event for young adults leaders (ages18-35) is being planned for September 22-23, 2006. The planning team of young adults under the leadership of Mike Hopper and Dale Cohen has an exciting and spirit-filled weekend envisioned. The stated purposes are: to promote leadership among young United Methodists and to breakaway from tradition bound leadership. We believe that God is raising a new generation for such a time as this!

Laity Sunday Every church is encouraged to observe Laity Sunday to celebrate the ministry of the laity. The 3rd Sunday in October is the recommended date, but any Sunday that is more convenient for the church is fine. The theme for 2006 is: One in Spirit, All in Ministry: in the Spirit of Worship. Churches are encouraged to invite Certified Lay Speakers to bring the message on Laity Sunday.

Conference Lay Leader Having the privilege of serving as your Conference Lay Leader for the past nine years has been a highlight of my life! I can never thank God and the people of the North Alabama Conference enough for the many blessings I have received. It has been an exciting adventure as we have tried to live into Gods plan for us. Our ministry together will continue! Gloria Holt Conference Lay Leader Chair, Lay Ministry Team

Leadership Formation Team

REPORTS

The Leadership Formation Team continues to focus through a variety of groups on effective Lay and Clergy Leadership. Those groups: The Institute for Clergy Excellence, the Board of Ordained Ministry, The Lay Ministry Team, the Board of Equitable Compensation, the Board of Pastoral Care and Counseling, Metro Methodism, The Stewardship Team, and other teams and groups mandated by the Book of Discipline work diligently to establish and support the goal to provide strong lay and clergy leadership in local churches and in the North Alabama Conference. As our conference examines new opportunities for ministry, these teams will be essential in shaping effective Leadership to embody our vision: Every church challenged and equipped to make disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives. The Leadership Formation Team will continue to support these groups vital to the development of leaders in our churches and our conference.

United Methodist Pastoral Care and Counseling, Inc. Board of Pastoral Care and Counseling The theme for the 2006 North Alabama Annual Conference -- “Equipping the Saints for Ministry: Growing Together in Worship and Discipleship”-- surely describes our ministry well. Our Vision Statement -- “We share in the ministry of the United Methodist Church by providing high quality, spiritually-sensitive counseling that equips healthy leaders” -- is our road map. Our Clergy Self- Leadership Course, a year-long program for probationary members, incorporates growth and discipline as we learn together to be better leaders. Our Leadership for Healthy Congregations workshop continues as a monthly retreat for our clergy. We continue to provide counseling to clergy and their families. As an extension of every local church, we receive referrals from our pastors seeking more skilled assistance for their congregants. We provided on-site debriefing for the Clergy teams during the Disaster Recovery work in the fall. We continue to receive calls from Clergy and District Superintendents to teach “Conflict Resolution” seminars and workshops as well as “Team Building” events. We also teach a course in Licensing School on Clergy Self-Care. We currently have satellite offices at Birmingham-Southern College Counseling Center, Hueytown First UMC, Bluff Park UMC, Trinity UMC, Central UMC in Decatur, Leeds First UMC, and Vestavia Hills UMC. Our post-graduate level training program in Pastoral, Marriage and Family Therapy, in its twenty-seventh year, continues to provide affordable counseling to both those in the ministry and their referrals as well as give our clergy much needed skills. We had four residents in training this past year and provided over 3,000 hours of counseling and education. Additional counselors are available to see our clergy and laity as needed. We welcomed the Rev. Sheri S. Ferguson as our new Executive Director in June 2005. Her fresh vision and energy have propelled United Methodist Pastoral Care and Counseling to become even more involved in working within each District and within all levels of the North Alabama Conference. We look forward to providing you, our Saints in Ministry, with more workshops and seminars to help you become better equipped to serve those you shepherd. We are indeed blessed to be partners in ministry with each of you.

Conference Visioning Team The Vision of the North Alabama Conference, Every church challenged and equipped to make disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives, has served us well since its adoption. Conference Teams, District Teams, and local churches all report that this Vision has served as a helpful compass as they have sought to discern the direction in which God is leading them. The most recent evidence is the overwhelming support by the Annual Conference to take the risk of changing the District structure and the role of District Superintendents in an effort to more faithfully follow the Vision. The Vision has had a positive influence; however, the Conference Visioning Team feels that it can be even more effective with a change of just one word and the addition of another. We are proposing that a new Vision be adopted that will state: Every church challenged and equipped to grow more disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives. Why this change? •

•

Make suggests that there is some set model that every church must follow in order to produce disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe that grow implies that how disciples are produced in each local situation and through the work of each Ministry team will depend on the condition of the soil and the climate in which they work. It is an organic model rather than a mechanical one. We believe that this is in keeping with the Apostle Paul's reminder to the Corinthians: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:6). More is added to indicate that our vision is that we will not be satisfied with simply nurturing those within our congregations, but will have a passion to reach out and share the Gospel with those all around us.

In like manner, our Core Values have served well as standards to evaluate our actions across the Conference; however, our proposal is that they be somewhat reduced in number and stated in a way that can more effectively be used by the Conference to under-gird its actions. The new Core Values we propose are: • • • • • • • •

Biblically rooted, passionate spirituality resulting in fidelity and communion with God. Love of all people expressed through compassion, servant-hood and evangelism. Christ-shaped community that values all people and seeks justice for all. Empowering Leadership that both equips and gives permission to lead. Nurturing which enables churches to grow disciples of Jesus Christ. Commitment to Christ, to the United Methodist Church, and to the local churches of the North Alabama Conference. Stewardship expressed by being generous and faithful stewards of the financial and people assets of the North Alabama Conference. Integrity, which includes accountability, with actions shaped by the Conference Vision and under-girded by our Core Values.

We will continue to evaluate our Vision and Core Values as we move forward as a “renewed” North Alabama Conference.

Stewardship Board of Pension & Health Benefits Report Number 1 The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits (the Board) recommends that required funding for the Clergy Retirement Security Plan (CRSP) and the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) be invoiced directly to local churches beginning in 2007. The Board believes the best way to ensure proper funding for the rising cost of clergy benefits is to remove the funding from the Conference budget. Historically, some churches have perceived funding in the Conference budget for clergy benefits as a benevolence. In fact, clergy benefits are part of a clergyperson's compensation. In 2005, clergy benefits totaling over $225,000 were not funded by the Conference budget due to nonpayment of apportionments. Advantages of directly invoicing local churches for the cost of clergy benefits include: • • • • • • •

Improves the rate of collection for benefits funding. (Health insurance premiums were collected at a rate of over 99% in 2005.) Places funding for CRSP and CPP on the same basis as funding for health insurance. Enables local churches to understand and plan for the true cost of clergy compensation. Facilitates financial accountability at the local church level. Helps eliminate inequities in local church funding of clergy benefits. Assigns responsibility for the funding of clergy benefits to the local church that a pastor serves. Encourages understanding that clergy benefits are part of compensation and not a benevolence.

The total amount invoiced to local churches in 2007 shall be $3,600,000, an amount that would have otherwise been included in the 2007 Conference budget. The individual amounts invoiced to local churches in 2007 shall be calculated using the formula approved by the Conference for apportioning the 2007 Conference budget and shall be included on the standard monthly remittance form.

Report Number 2 The following recommendations are made for the Clergy Retirement Security Plan and the Comprehensive Protection Plan in 2007: 1.) The North Alabama Conference contribution rate to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits for the Clergy Retirement Security Plan shall be $5,221 per full-time equivalent clergyperson and 3% of the participant's plan compensation. 2.) The North Alabama Conference contribution rate to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits for the Comprehensive Protection Plan shall be 3.0% of a participant's plan compensation not to exceed 200% of the 2007 Denominational Average Compensation ($108,162). - 313 -

REPORTS

It is anticipated that the amounts invoiced to local churches after 2007 shall be determined using other methodologies based on each clergyperson's actual cost of benefits. This process will begin in 2008 and may result in some churches receiving an increase in their invoice amounts while other churches receive a decrease in their invoice amounts, as local church inequities in the funding of clergy benefits are eliminated. This process will continue each year until the cost of clergy benefits invoiced to local churches approximates the true cost of such benefits. The total cost of clergy benefits invoiced to local churches in any year shall not exceed the total amount that would have otherwise been included in the Conference budget.

3.) Conference funding for the Clergy Retirement Security Plan and the Comprehensive Protection Plan totaling $3,600,000 shall be invoiced to local churches separately from the 2007 Conference budget. The amounts invoiced to local churches shall be calculated using the formula approved by the Conference for apportioning the 2007 Conference budget. Amounts invoiced shall be included on the standard monthly remittance forms. 4.) $258,700 shall be allocated to the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits (the Board) from Section A - Ministerial Support in the 2007 Conference budget, to fund clergy emergency relief ($8,700) and retiree health insurance ($250,000) for the period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. 5.) Effective January 1, 2007, the annuity rates for service years rendered prior to January 1, 1982 shall be: $570.00 per service year for service as ministerial members and as full-time local pastors; $399.00 per service year for surviving spouses of ministerial members and full-time local pastors; $142.50 per service year for surviving dependent children of ministerial members and full-time local pastors.

The health insurance reserve fund had a balance at December 31, 2005 of $3,261,395 (unaudited) and is invested locally and at the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. The Board's policy is to maintain no less than $2,500,000 in the health insurance reserve fund. Reserve funds are currently being used to pay prior year claims cost and to assist in the funding transition to HealthFlex.

- 316 -

The Board of Pension and Health Benefits (the Board) is pleased with the ongoing transition to HealthFlex. Also, the Board is considering various options for wellness incentives in consultation with representatives from HealthFlex. It is anticipated that certain wellness incentives will be announced before the end of 2007. The following premium structure is recommended, effective January 1, 2007: •

$548/month for individual coverage. Individual coverage is mandatory for full-time clergy. The premium for individual coverage is an increase of $73/month.

•

$548/month for dependent coverage, or $1,096/month for family coverage. The premium for dependent coverage is a decrease of $165/month.

The 2007 premium recommendation achieves a Board objective of setting the premium rates for family insurance at no more than twice the cost of individual insurance, but requires additional funding of $250,000 from the health insurance reserve fund. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits and its Health Insurance Committee are excited and enthusiastic about our health insurance program. The Board and the Committee appreciate everyone's encouragement during the transition to HealthFlex. The Committee continues to ask all participants in the Conference health insurance program to recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and having regular physical exams and routine wellness procedures.

Report Number 5

North Alabama Conference 2006 Funding Plan For Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program Past Service Rate (PSR) refers to the rate at which pension benefits are payable for each year of approved service with pension credit rendered prior to 1982. A conference's PSR must be at least 0.8% of its Conference Average Compensation (CAC). The 2004 Book of Discipline recommends, but does not require, that the PSR for service rendered prior to 1982, be not less than 1.0% of the CAC.

As required by the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) approved by the 2004 General Conference, future annual increases in the PSR will automatically be the greater of 2% (rounded to the next-highest whole dollar) or the amount needed to maintain the PSR at a rate equal to 0.8% of the CAC. Thus, the PSR is a function of both the automatic 2% annual increase and the CAC. The Conference's ability to fully fund increases in the PSR is affected by several factors, including annual funding for pensions provided by the Conference and its local churches, the performance of the financial market, and various actuarial assumptions. The Conference anticipates paying the full amount of required contributions for all rate increases in the year such increases become effective. In other words, the Conference intends to remain fully funded in the year of each rate increase.

- 317 -

REPORTS

The Conference's current PSR (effective January 1, 2006) is $558. This rate is the result of an intentional effort by the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits to raise the rate to a level that provides an appropriate benefit for pre-1982 service. The 2006 CAC is $56,558. Thus, the Conference PSR as a percent of the CAC is 0.99%, which exceeds the minimum required percentage. The Conference has worked diligently in recent years to significantly increase the PSR. However, as in 2006, the Conference cannot be certain that the PSR will equal 1.00% of the CAC due to economic conditions and budget constraints.

The 2006 actuarial valuation of the plan (as of January 1, 2004) prepared for the Conference by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (the General Board) indicates the plan funding status is as follows: Plan Funding Total Liability

$48,743,495 (42,600,275)

Funded Status

$ 6,143,220

The 2006 actuarial valuation assumes a PSR increase of 3% through 2006 and 2% after 2006. The Conference has recently received the preliminary 2007 actuarial valuation from the General Board (as of January 1, 2005). Based on a 2007 PSR of $570 (a 2.00% increase over the 2006 PSR of $558, and 0.97% of the 2007 CAC of $58,592), the plan funding status for a PSR of $570 on January 1, 2007, is as follows: Plan Funding Total Liability

$56,619,746 (40,246,728)

Funded Status

$16,373,018

The 2007 actuarial valuation assumes an annual PSR increase of 2%. The increase in the funded status from January 1, 2004 to January 1 2005 is due to interest earned, an actual asset growth rate higher than the assumed asset growth rate, mortality and other demographic assumptions, and a final special distribution from the Diversified Investment Fund of $6,805,101. The funded status of $16,373,018 as of January 1, 2005 means the Conference is overfunded for 2007 and has a funding ratio of 141%. The overfunded amount may not be withdrawn by the Conference, but is available for future defined benefit rate increases, including the defined benefit component of CRSP. The following table shows the recent five-year relationship between the PSR and the CAC:

Year

1.12% 1.00% 0.99% 0.99% 0.97%

REPORTS

As noted above, the PSR as a percent of the CAC has declined in recent years because the CAC has increased at a higher rate than the PSR increase. However, the last three years of CAC increases may be more indicative of future increases in the CAC. In the future, the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits may recommend annual increases in the PSR that are greater than the automatic 2% increases provided by CRSP to avoid having significantly large PSR increases solely to maintain the required 0.8% of the CAC. The reserve funds available for benefits and administration (excluding health insurance) total $3,227,933 at December 31, 2005. This amount was $5,732,186 and $4,430,587 at December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectfully. To ensure adequate funding for benefits and administration (excluding health insurance), the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits intends to maintain minimum reserve funds totaling $3,000,000. Therefore, without significant investment earnings or increased Conference funding, the reserve funds may not be sufficient to pay for future benefits.

- 318 -

The ability of the reserve funds to generate significant investment earnings is uncertain. Total Conference funding for pension, death, and disability benefits is $3,600,000 for 2007, an increase of $550,000. In the future, it is likely that additional significant funding increases will be required to pay for pension, death, disability benefits. Submitted to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits on May 22, 2006.

Report Number 6 The United Methodist Publishing House contributes funds each year to annual conferences in support of conference claimants. By unanimous agreement in 2004, the Council of Bishops determined it would encourage each of the jurisdictional annual conferences to donate their portion of the United Methodist Publishing House pension contribution for use in the central conferences. The Central Conference Pension Committee continues its work on the Central Conference Pension Initiative, a multi-agency endeavor to bring long-term pension support to the clergy and lay workers of the central conferences. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits recommends that the North Alabama Conference donate its annual contribution from the United Methodist Publishing House to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits for use in the Central Conference Pension Initiative.

Report Number 7 The Conference's death benefits and disability program is part of the General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits' Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP). The death benefit for all active participants is $50,000. The disability benefit is 70% of plan compensation, not to exceed 200% of the Denominational Average Compensation, reduced dollar-for-dollar by any disability benefits received from the Social Security Administration.

North Alabama Conference of The United Methodist Church RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE RENTAL/HOUSING ALLOWANCES FOR RETIRED OR DISABLED MINISTERS OF THE NORTH ALABAMA CONFERENCE

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized that the North Alabama Conference is the appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for retired and disabled ordained licensed ministers who are members of this Conference; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED; 1.An amount equal to 100% of the pension payments received during 2007 be and is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowance for each retired and disabled ordained or licensed minister of The United Methodist Church who is or was a member of the North Alabama Conference at the time of his or her retirement or disability. 2.This rental/housing allowance shall apply to each retired and disabled ordained or licensed minister who has been granted the retired relation or placed on disability leave by the North Alabama Conference and whose name and relationship to the conference is recorded in the Journal of the North Alabama Conference and in other appropriate records maintained by the conference. 3.The pension payment to which this rental/housing allowance applies shall be the pension payment resulting from all service of such retired and disabled ordained or licensed minister from all employment by any local church, Annual Conference, General Agency, or institution of The United Methodist Church or any former denomination that is now a part of The United Methodist Church, or from any other employer who employed the minister to perform services related to the ministry and who elected to make contributions to the pension funds of The United Methodist Church for such retired or disabled minister's pension. NOTE: The rental/housing allowance which may be excluded from a minister's gross income is limited to the lesser of (1) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the minister's employer or other appropriate body, (2) the amount actually expended by the minister to provide his or her housing, or (3) the legally determined fair rental value of the parsonage or other housing provided. As specified in Rev. Rul. 71 290, C.B. 92, "the only amount that will qualify for exclusion under section 107(2) of the Code as a "rental allowance" is an amount equal to the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities."

Net proceeds from this sale were applied to the indebtedness on the building. The Board would like to encourage anyone who has not made a pledge for the new United Methodist Center to consider a generous financial gift for this important project. Also, persons who have not made a payment on their pledge are asked to bring their remittances current or perhaps remit the entire amount of their pledge as soon as possible. Pledge cards are available at the new United Methodist Center. All property of the Conference, including the new United Methodist Center and the Episcopal residence are in good condition and adequately insured.

Committee on Investments Report Number 1 The Conference Committee on Investments (the Committee) is composed of six persons, including the president of the Council on Finance and five other persons appointed by the Bishop. The Conference Treasurer invests Conference funds under the supervision of the Committee, in accordance with ¶6.8d in the North Alabama Conference Call to Mission and Ministry. The Committee is amenable to the Council on Finance based on ¶612.5. and ¶618.1.d) in The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church - 2004. Conference funds that are not needed for immediate use are invested by the Conference Treasurer in accordance with guidelines and policies established by the Committee, approved by the Council on Finance, and adopted by the Annual Conference. According to The Book of Discipline, a statement of such policies shall be printed in the Conference Journal at least once in each quadrennium. The policies and guidelines were last provided on page 352 of the 2005 Conference Journal.

REPORTS

The Committee interprets its sole responsibility to be the approval of the securities in which Conference funds are invested. When funds are available for investment, the Treasurer secures bids from at least three of the financial institutions on the list of institutions approved by the Committee for investment of Conference funds. After the Committee reviews the bids with the Treasurer, it authorizes the Treasurer to purchase certain investments in accordance with the investment policies and guidelines. All investments since the last report of our Committee have been made in accordance with the approved policies and guidelines.

Commission on Archives and History The Commission on Archives and History held three regular meetings in 2005 and conducted several other ongoing activities. The Commission is under the leadership of Kenneth R. Johnson, Chairperson; Rev. Pete West, ViceChairperson; Caroline Thompson, Secretary; and Rev. William C. Davis, Spiritual Guide. The Commission's main function has been and remains the operation of the Conference Archives, which is located in the Birmingham-Southern College Library. Under the direction of Dr.Guy Hubbs, the Archives is rendering an outstanding service to those who need to research Methodist records. Collecting and preserving Conference records is an ongoing activity. Unfortunately our efforts to collect records of early African-American Churches have not been notably successful. The efforts continue. In a more positive vein, through the efforts of Dr. Hubbs, the archives has received portraits of Rev. Arad Simon Lakin and his wife, Achsah Labar Newton Lakin, who were very influential in the founding of the Methodist Episcopal Conference of Alabama and the Central Alabama Conference. Some efforts have been made with varying degrees of success to carry out three projects: The plan to employ a conference historian to write a conference history and plan to prepare a conference church directory are still on the launching pad. But the effort to find, identify, and recognize historic Methodist sites in the North Alabama Conference area has progressed very well. Through the work of Rev. Pete West, thirty-two historic sites have been identified. The study of these and other sites is ongoing. The historic sites serve as tangible reminders of the rich and influential history Methodism has had in the lives of north Alabamians. The North Alabama Conference Historical Society, under the leadership of Dr. Phillip Huckaby, continues to do good work. Two meetings were held in 2005: one in the Hargrove UMC and the other in the Methodist Conference Center. At both meetings, the programs consisted of presentations about Methodist history and influence among the people of North Alabama. The Historical Society has been especially helpful in planning the forthcoming Church History Workshop and stimulating interest in local church history. The Charter Church Awards program continues. At a reception held in the Archives during the 2005 Annual Conference, Bishop William Willimon presented awards to thirteen qualifying churches. About one hundred visitors attended the reception and enjoyed the program, refreshments, and fellowship. The Commission and the Historical Society believe that every church should have a well-trained historian. Such persons can have a powerful influence in shaping the local church ministry and winning disciples for Jesus. For that purpose, a Church History Workshop will be held in the Conference Center on March 11, 2006.

PR/Communication Team During the 2005-2006 Conference year, the PR/Communication team has continued its ministry to help the North Alabama United Methodist Churches and agencies remain better connected in order to make disciples of Jesus Christ. In September the team and staff refocused the communication ministry as the conference magazine, the Voice, was discontinued and energy refocused toward other methods of communication such as the Conference website and email. This move not only saved the Conference ministry funds, but also strengthened the timeliness of communication. The move was also a result of dramatically decreasing subscriptions to the Voice year after year while subscriptions to email lists had more than doubled since October 2004. By September 2005, regular conference emails were reaching more people each week than the Voice magazine reached each month. During the fall, the Communication staff began a partnership with the Administrative Services Department and a company called Brickriver Technologies, Inc., to redevelop not only the Conference website, but also the conference database. Brickriver has worked with at least 15 other Annual Conferences and has developed a solution providing a United Methodist based database and website. Through this system the database and website are integrated and will allow more interaction with North Alabama United Methodists. As the website and database are fully integrated local congregations and individuals will be able to do such things as change their personal contact information, complete charge conference forms and post local church information through the North Alabama Conference website (www.northalabamaumc.org). In January 2006, the new website was launched. It featured a new look and new interactive features. The new website also provides a method for more disciple-making stories from local churches to be told in a more timely manner. During the spring of 2006 the database portion will be launched and even more features will be revealed. While, the focus of Conference communications has been on electronic methods, print has not been abandoned. The Office of Communication staff still diligently works with other ministry teams to help them produce brochures, booklets (like this one you are reading now) and other print communication pieces. The past year has been an extremely busy one for the PR/Communications team and staff as we have played a huge role in helping local churches know how to participate in Hurricane Disaster Relief efforts and are keeping the Conference informed of the redistricting process — through emails, the website and print communication. The team also works to share positive United Methodist stories with the general public through other media outlets. Last, but certainly not least, the PR/Communication team and staff continue their work in challenging and equipping local congregations through providing resources, offering consultations and training events in communication/marketing/welcoming ministries.

The Board of Superannuate Homes Report No. 1 The Board of Trustees of Superannuate Homes endeavors to provide a unique mechanism of nurturing support for its ministers through effective leadership and good stewardship as administrators of this unique program. The Board met two times during the 2005 - 2006 Conference year, and the Executive Committee met twice. The Board continues to practice good stewardship by disposing of undesirable units that have become too expensive to maintain and investing these proceeds to enhance the Board's ministry. Therefore, decisions were made to sell vacant land in Scottsboro and duplexes in Decatur and Columbiana. The Board now maintains a total of 132 housing units, 104 of these are single-unit homes built since the Humphrey Trust was received. The Humphrey Trust can be utilized specifically for the construction of new homes. The market value of the Annie Sue Kelly Humphrey Memorial Trust as of December 31, 2005 was $2,978,747. The Board is grateful for the support received from the Annual Conference toward its 2006 budget and pledges itself to continue functioning in such a manner that both lay and clergy members of the Conference will feel a strong sense of ownership and pride for the Superannuate Homes program. The Board continues to work closely with Association of Retired Ministers and Spouses (ARMS) and looks forward each year to joining ARMS at its meetings in June and October. Reverend E. Bert Goodwin, Jr. and Mrs. Robert F. Maxwell represent ARMS on the Board and provide invaluable counsel about the concerns and needs of our retired ministers and spouses.

Report No. 2 Reverend and Mrs. Carl Long will occupy the Humphrey Home in Albertville that is scheduled for completion in June. During the year the Board has provided housing for Reverend and Mrs. Hillard Vance in Birmingham; Reverend and Mrs. Ben Hogan in Gardendale; and Reverend Jeri Hunt in Gardendale.

Report No. 3 Superannuates' Home Care, a fund that assists individuals living in their own homes or a Board owned home, continues to provide a ministry to those with financial need. This fund enables the Board to respond to critical needs of those requesting assistance with costly home repairs and maintenance. Your financial support for this fund is greatly appreciated and encouraged.

The Board has received gifts from Reverend T. Edwin Self, Dr. W. C. Davis, Mrs. Albert Kaylor, Reverend James A Maples, Dr. Joseph Maples, Mrs. Donald M. Mason, and Glenn Hills United Methodist Church. Gifts from individuals and churches enable the Board to provide housing for future retirees.

Report No. 5 The Board of Superannuate Homes asks this conference to designate Conference Sunday (or another Sunday) as Superannuate Sunday. Each local church is asked to recognize our retired pastors and spouses on this day.

North Alabama United Methodist Foundation The North Alabama United Methodist Foundation, Inc. is pleased to report to the Annual Conference 2006. Our United Methodist Foundation is a resource and educational agency of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church. Specializing in will, estate and financial planning, the Foundation provides churches and donors creative stewardship opportunities to undergird future missions and ministries. The Foundation also provides important investment opportunities, administers endowments and cultivates permanent endowment funds for churches. Our Foundation continues to make extraordinary progress on several fronts. Most significant is the Foundation's total asset growth since 1990.

The 2005 fiscal year saw the Foundation extend our 15th consecutive year of record growth!

Foundation Trust Fund 4.0%

Church Loans New and relocating churches are presented with financing challenges. The Foundation has provided significant assistance and service for these special situations. Churches assisted include Calera UMC, Pelham/Lakeview UMC, Florence District - Brandon School Project, Innerchange UMC and Huntsville District New Church. Stewardship Resources Upon request from local churches, the Foundation began a new division to offer Stewardship Resources with a primary emphasis on capital fundraising. To date we have partnered with more than 72 churches and raised more than $90 million to benefit local churches. - 347 -

REPORTS

A key service offered by our Foundation is that of investment management. Our Foundation Trust Fund is designed to pay local churches a good rate of return and still allow maximum flexibility of withdrawal. Currently paying 4.0%, the goal of the Trust Fund is to always pay one half to 1% better than local bank CD's and allow flexibility of withdrawal. The Foundation also offers Income, Balanced and Growth Funds for church investments. The Balanced Fund returned 9.81% in 2004 and 5.28% in 2005.

Estate Gifts The Foundation is pleased to offer estate planning assistance to donors who wish to make planned gifts through their will or estate. In 2005, two special estate gifts matured with a Roanoke District church receiving a home valued at $150,000, and a Sylacauga District church receiving a Permanent Endowment gift approaching $1 million. Working with the Foundation, donors may create special gifts to local churches and various United Methodist institutions and ministries.

Planned Lifetime Gifts An important service of the Foundation is to provide United Methodists specialized estate planning vehicles enabling a donor to receive a guaranteed lifetime income. These trusts provide significant income for the donor now and also provide important funding of future ministries. Rates can return as much as 11% for the donor.

Relationship Advocacy for Social Justice Team As the Advocacy for Social Justice Team (formerly the Prophetic Ministries Team) attempts to implement the Conference vision — Every church challenged and equipped to make disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives — we believe it is important to explain how we understand "making disciples." We believe it means much more than getting new members, as important as that is. A disciple is a student, a learner, and a follower of Jesus. After saying that first YES and making that initial commitment, a disciple begins a life-long journey of studying and learning what Jesus said and did in order to imitate Him. We are to move from being "infants in Christ" to growing and maturing in our understanding, our commitment, our love, and our compassion toward having the mind and heart of Christ. We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25 in the judgment scene where ones destiny was determined by how He treated the least of his brothers and sisters. We remember the answer Jesus gave in Luke 10 when He was asked how one can inherit eternal life--to love God with all your heart and soul and strength and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. And we remember the story of the Samaritan who demonstrated what it means to love your neighbor. We remember that in Luke 4, Jesus began his ministry by reading from the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach Good News to the poor." And he told his hearers that he was fulfilling that scripture that day. We recall that in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus responded to a wealthy young man who was inquiring about how to have eternal life by telling him to sell his possessions and give the money to the poor. Jesus was clearly concerned about the poor, as well as those who were outcasts, the marginalized, and the oppressed. And if we would be His disciples, we, too, must have that same concern and must then act on that concern. The biggest question may be how to do this most effectively. Our usual method is to give aid in times of emergencies or disasters, or at special times like Thanksgiving or Christmas to those in chronic poverty, as a response or reaction to already existing circumstances. Those are good and important things to do. The earliest Christians, who believed Jesus would return soon, cared for the poor in their midst.

As the years passed, caring Christians continued to give aid to the needy among them, but some also began to question whether there might be more they could do. When emergencies and disasters and other life crises continue, and needs seem to never end, thoughtful persons begin to ask if and how these problems might be prevented. As wisdom tells us to estimate the cost before we build, and to build on a solid foundation, we need to find the most efficient and cost-effective ways to use our resources in helping the poor--not just to survive another day or week, but also to get out of poverty and "on their feet." Many of us get flu shots, and most babies get immunization shots for childhood diseases. We know that it is better health-wise to prevent an illness than to treat it after we get it. It is also cheaper. We know we should do whatever we can to have a healthier life-style to prevent life-threatening illnesses. Those who work with our United Methodist Children's Home know it's better to work with families BEFORE so much damage is done that children must be removed from their own homes. Most of us believe the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

- 349 -

REPORTS

But when it became apparent that Jesus wasn't going to return as soon as they had believed, they saw a need to organize the care of the widows and orphans, and to develop structures to guide the church, choosing elders, deacons, and bishops.

Much of the work of our Advocacy for Social Justice Team is about preventing (not just treating) poverty and hunger and homelessness by eliminating some of its causes----low wages, inadequate education, lack of affordable housing, an unfair tax structure, a racist, out-dated, and inefficient state constitution, and inadequate public transportation. Even though bad choices and lack of personal responsibility may be factors in the problems some people face, that does not excuse the laws, policies, and practices of the state and other institutions and systems that perpetuate poverty and often drive people further into poverty. And the racism that is still very much alive in our society just exacerbates all of the problems mentioned. We hope to bring about dialogue in our congregations about these issues as we attempt to grow in our discipleship. And then, we hope that the love of God that fills us will lead us to act courageously to take risks that our world will be changed. Betty Likis, Convener

We are especially prepared to assist Disaster Response and the spiritual and emotional care for survivors and care team members. A new program being offered is Spiritual Life Coaching for Clergy. The services of Attentional Growth, Inc. are available for lay and clergy as well as local congregations.

Birmingham-Southern College Birmingham-Southern College is grateful for the support of the North Alabama Conference and is strengthened by the ministry of the annual conference. Lay and clergy from across North Alabama serve on the Board of Trustees, the Pastoral Advisory Board, The President's Advisory Council, the Norton Board, and advise in areas of Admission and Financial Aid, Pre-Ministerial Advising, and the Center for Ministry. More importantly, daughters and sons of North Alabama excel as students and lead skillfully and faithfully in service and ministry. Birmingham-Southern began its 150th academic year in August 2005 by welcoming nearly 356 new students 323 freshmen, 33 transfer students - to campus. The new students are from 22 states and three foreign countries, bringing the state count to 30 and international representation to 23 countries. Included in these numbers are 29 students from Louisiana who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The first-year class includes 23 valedictorians and three National Merit Finalists, bringing to 39 the total of National Merit Finalists on the Birmingham-Southern campus. Birmingham-Southern College, the result of a merger of Southern University founded in Greensboro, Alabama in 1856 with Birmingham College, opened in 1898 in Birmingham. These two institutions were consolidated on May 30, 1918, under the name of Birmingham-Southern College. Our mission continues to be a liberal arts education of distinctive quality-one that challenges our students to think independently, to examine the arts and sciences aesthetically and critically, and to communicate clearly. We accomplish this mission through offering educational experiences that prepare students to be lifelong and participatory learners and leaders, to be active and successful in their careers and communities, and to be individuals who better understand and shape the world around them. The Sesquicentennial year brought celebrations and recognitions to campus. Acknowledging that The United Methodist Church and Birmingham-Southern College as its educational institution has at its heart the dignity of every person, the sesquicentennial theme “Advancing Human Dignity” brought new dimension to performances in dance, theater and music; exhibitions in art; presentations by student leaders; as well as speaker programs and conversations at the caf' table. Speakers included Randy Day, General Secretary, General Board of Global Ministries; Jim Winkler, General Secretary, General Board of Church and Society; F.W. de Klerk, former President of South Africa and recipient of Nobel Peace Prize in 1993; E.O. Wilson, environmentalist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner; Rita Dove, former U.S. Poet Laureate, Pulitzer Prize winner, author of On the Bus with Rosa Parks; Maureen Cropper, economist and environmentalist, Professor of Economics at University of Maryland; David Shipler, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Working Poor; Deborah Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Judaic Studies at Emory University and author of History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving. Faculty and student presentations broadened the exploration of “what it means to be human” and “what does dignity mean?”

REPORTS

In early spring, Birmingham-Southern hosted “Women, Leadership and Human Dignity.” Judy Woodruff moderated the town hall meeting for honorees Dr. Enriqueta Bond, Dr. Gail Cassell, The Rev. Susan Crow, Shirley Franklin, Carol Herrmann-Steckel, Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, Dr. Carol Newsom, Sandra Storm, and Melanne Verveer. At a luncheon following and to a capacity crowd, Dr. Musimbi Kanyoro, general secretary of the World YWCA, spoke on “Changing Lives, Changing Communities: Global Policies and Practices that Make a Difference for Women.” Recognition of the College's academic excellence continues. For six consecutive years, Birmingham-Southern has been included among "America's Best Christian Colleges" by Institutional Research and Evaluation Inc. BirminghamSouthern also received many repeat recognitions for its commitment to academic excellence: one of the nation's top 30 colleges by The Washington Times; Loren Pope's 40 Colleges That Change Lives; Choosing the Right College: The Whole Truth About America's Top Schools; Best 201 Colleges for the Real World; Washington Post staff writer Jay Mathews' “100 Colleges Worth Considering,” and Kaplan Publishing's The Unofficial, Unbiased, Insider's Guide to the 328 Most Interesting Colleges. Each year, Birmingham-Southern ranks No. 1 in Alabama and among the nation's best in percentage of all graduates accepted to medical, dental, or health career programs. The college also ranks high nationally in graduates accepted to - 352 -

law school, and has a distinguished record of job placement and admission to other graduate and professional schools. The presence of the United Methodist Church is felt across the campus. In many ways the new United Methodist Center has presented opportunities to explore the relationship of college and church in new areas, including for students of Bishop Willimon's course at the new Center: Contemporary Christian Theology. The church-relatedness component of Faculty Institute and Orientation provides faculty, staff and students with a better understanding of 'Southern's close relationship with the Church and the two annual conferences. Staff from Student Affairs, Personal Counseling, Residence Life, Multi-Cultural Affairs, Admission, and Church Relations participate in numerous conferences sponsored by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry and annual conferences. The work of collaborative teams are aided by polity, UM beliefs and the Social Principles as they interact with students. Staff and faculty who relate to campus ministries also relate to the local church and beyond: teaching Sunday School, preaching, leading retreats and worship, speaking to organizations and mission groups, serving on conference and general church committees, leading camps and conferences, teaching in youth and children's academies, lecturing in Bible conferences, hosting youth planning groups and confirmation classes on campus, and partnering in service to communities. Birmingham-Southern offers ministry on and off campus, and is grateful for opportunities to be engaged with local church and conference programs. Faculty and staff are also engaged in leadership and service in their own faith communities. Religious Studies and preparation for ministry remains strong. With the revision of requirements for the Religion major to reflect faculty expertise and student needs, students go deeply into Biblical studies, reach widely to embrace theology, and walk confidently in the footsteps of Jesus, Paul and Wesley to claim the inheritance of our faith. More than 40 students have chosen Religion as their primary study; more than 80 students are seriously considering vocation in ministry. Religion courses are in demand from students in all disciplines. Because freshman register after returning students have claimed courses, freshman classes on Wesley and theological responses to environmental crises were added this year (and filled!). Consideration is being given, at this time, to the new Religious Education major, and we anticipate by the June session to be promoting both the course of study and scholarships to students across the conferences. Mentoring and counseling students as they discern their call to ministry or vocation reaches beyond the classroom, the Chapel, Religion courses, and the campus. The Boards of Higher Education and Ordained Ministry offer support to students and to faculty and staff.

In addition to these projects that go on year round, 36 students spent their fall semester preparing to serve on Interim term teams locally studying urban and rural poverty in Birmingham and in the Black Belt, nationally in San Francisco working with the outreach programs of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church and international working with the Methodist Church in Mozambique. The Interims in Service-Learning involve the "loafing project" which sends students into more than 100 local churches, a fall break retreat to the Upper Sand Mountain Parish, weekly twohour meetings with the student teams, as well as logistical preparations to send students into the field during the month of January. Several students participated in an UMCOR Early Response Team Training following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and traveled to Moss Point, Mississippi over Spring Break to assist in recovery efforts.

REPORTS

Students at Birmingham-Southern College continue to be involved in the community outside the gates in significant ways. The Office of Service-Learning assists student coordinators in ongoing local projects that serve to connect students to our neighbors and expand the context of their learning. Hot, nutritious meals are delivered to a dozen clients in the Ensley and Bush Hills neighborhood each weekday. Over fifty hours each week of one-on-one tutoring and mentoring takes place at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. A hot meal is taken and served at the First Light Women's shelter each Wednesday. Vision screenings for young children at Headstart programs around the state are offered to assist in early detection and treatment of vision problems. Help with homework and games of checkers and basketball highlight the afternoons of local students at Urban Kidz after-school program at Urban Ministry. New residents to Birmingham receive assistance with English skills as well as warm smiles and embraces each Monday at the International Tutoring program on Southside.

The fall of 2005 saw the beginning of some new programs in campus ministry. A key offering was the new Sunday morning worship service called Community Chapel. Working with our Episcopal campus minister, Stewart Jackson and student interns sought to build a worship service that included students, faculty, staff, and community neighbors. The service of Word and Table is complemented by sermons from different preachers. Among the preachers during the fall were David Pollick, Neal Berte, Will Willimon, Bill Blackerby, Stewart Jackson, Denise Morgan Mullaney, and Bob Morgan. In addition to the Sunday morning offering, a group called The Gathering meets every Sunday evening at 9 pm for prayer, praise music, and sharing by a student. The theme each week is how God is moving in student life; powerful and sacred moments are honored each Sunday evening in Yeilding Chapel. Wesley Fellowship has been reshaped with strong student leadership. Bible study, prayer, recreation and fellowship mark their twice weekly gatherings. Concern for minority students has given birth to new programs for international and ethnic minority students. This past year the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Chapel held a memorial service on Sunday evening, September 11th, where 5,000 candles were lit for the US soldiers who had died and for the victims of the 9/11 attack. Interfaith awareness activities on our campus have utilized new venues for inclusion and information. This year a regular column in the Hilltop News coordinated articles from various religious perspectives on our campus. In addition to Christian articles, articles were secured from our Muslim students, Jewish students, and Hindu students. The College continues to develop an Educational Partnership with the Birmingham City School System. All 6th grade students from Wilkerson and Glenn Middle Schools (the two closest middle schools to the College) students were guests on the campus in late spring, visiting the Southern Environmental Center and Planetarium. By the beginning of next year a cohort of 25 students will be selected to participate in the Partnership program by the schools. It is anticipated that the successful completion of the six-year academic enhancement and mentoring program will lead to a full scholarship to attend Birmingham-Southern College. Birmingham-Southern College is faithful in its service to the broader community, embracing its Methodist heritage and extending that ethos through programs such as the Hess Center for Leadership and Service, service-learning experiences integrated into the curriculum, and an expanding Study Abroad program. Its Methodist founders asked the first graduates of Southern University to “be Christian heroes in this great moral warfare of life,” to “develop the latent capacities, to transform the helpless infant into a good and wise man, fitted to serve God and his generation on earth.” On the occasion of its Sesquicentennial, the college reasserts the value of advancing human dignity as fundamental to the mission of liberal education. To this end, Birmingham-Southern College is establishing the Global Center for Human Dignity with the mission of investigating what it means to be human and what is required to advance human dignity in the world. Central to this investigation is the exploration of what impedes opportunities for people worldwide to live in an environment that sustains an inherent sense of personal worth and social responsibility.

REPORTS

The center will actively seek to create an environment, both at the college and in the broader society, in which the knowledge, skills, and strategies for addressing these questions can be developed. Private support for this Global Center for Human Dignity is vital to creating such an environment that brings hope for peace and human dignity across our state, nation, and world. David Pollick

Campus Ministries & Wesley Foundations Campus Ministry Association — Alabama A&M University Bible Studies Weekly studies of one to two hour duration are designed to help students deal with questions, issues, and matters of faith and to apply faith to life issues. Occasionally, service projects and other resources arise from the studies.

Pastoral Services Available to help students, faculty, and other members of the University communities deal with concerns and problems in light of the Christian faith and my experiences as a pastor. I am available to students and others in response to individual requests and meet at locations convenient to the students.

Annual Special Events Annual spring retreat at which students go to an off-campus site for recreation and fellowship, and inspirational or devotional services. The off-site location is currently held at Joe Wheeler State Park.

Annual Cookouts At the beginning of the year open to all students on the campus to introduce them to the ministry and the services it provides. At the close of the year we have another big celebration of our year together and sending forth. A&M also had an annual pre-Thanksgiving dinner to which the students invite international students. The purpose of the dinner is to provide fellowship for students from foreign countries who may be lonely and to meet spiritual needs through a guest preacher. This event is held at a church near the campus. A&M also has an annual college-wide revival to which all students on the campus are invited to allow the students to have an opportunity to grow closer to God and to have a spiritual perspective as they deal with the stresses of college life. A&M will also have occasional field trips to civil rights historical sites or other sites of interest and educational benefit to Christian students on the A&M campus.

Weekly Worship and Dinner Students at A&M participate in worship at the church pastored by the A&M chaplain and help to lead the service on the third Sunday of each month. Following the Sunday morning service, the students gater at the chaplains home for a shared meal. These services and meals allow students to experience Christian worship, learn to lead worship, and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian — both those in the church and other students. Respectfully submitted, Deborah Timmons Toney Chaplain, Alabama A&M University

A Methodist Presence Once Again at Athens State! A new Wesley Fellowship was organized in October 2005 on the campus of Athens State University. ASU is the only upper division school in our state which presents some real challenges. It is a commuter college with students who travel long distances, have several jobs, many with families .Yet in spite of these seemingly obstacles, a group is coming together for weekly Bible study and many fellowship activities. We met for our first Bible study on October 10 and on Oct 31 we had a booth at the school's Halloween carnival and sponsored a scary outdoor movie that night for the campus! In November, we began our monthly dinner and movie held at the director's home, and in December we headed to Nashville to see the Christmas decorations at Opryland Hotel and the ice exhibit. Dec. 30th we hosted a karaoke party for the college students in our community-a great way to end 2005!

Wesley Fellowship — Montevallo First UMC The University of Montevallo Campus Ministry The Wesley Fellowship at the University of Montevallo continues to develop opportunities to reach university students! The Fellowship is based at Montevallo First United Methodist Church located on the corner of Oak and Middle Streets just across from the campus. We are in a great location to serve the needs of our community and the University. We express appreciation to each of our students who participate with us in ministry. Also, we are grateful for the lay people who have dedicated themselves to ministry with our students. We are continue to find ways to grow in Spirit and in number as we share God's love on the campus and beyond. We began this school year with our traditional “Welcome Students BBQ” that was held on campus on Sunday afternoon before classes began.. Food, music and fellowship became the focus for the day as students from the Auburn Wesley Foundation celebrated with us. Creative ways of meeting the needs of our students are being developed as opportunities arise. We share a common meal each Sunday evening as the students return to campus after the weekend. The meals are really good and are prepared by volunteers in the church. Several people are here every Sunday to make sure that all is well and in good order. Music and fellowship are important aspects of our gathering. Also, we share a “Life Lesson” after the meal along social and fellowship opportunities Scripture and a short movie clip serve as a foundation for discussion as we gain strength for the coming week. Several students are beginning to take a more active role in developing the ministry. We have an interest in each of our students as opportunities continue to be developed that enable them to strengthen mind, body, and spirit. Our major goal, however, is to create and build relationships that emphasize God's presence, grace, and love. Wesley Fellowship continues to be a part of the Campus Ministry Association (CMA) of The University of Montevallo. Joining with others in the faith, we witness to Jesus Christ through fellowship, worship, study, and service. We are proud to have the opportunity to speak for United Methodism and to represent the North Alabama Conference at one of the quality State institutions of higher learning in Alabama.

The Wesley Foundation at University of North Alabama (UNA) This was truly an unusual year for the students, Director and Board. The roof fell in and not only required maintenance but destroyed the meeting and TV room. In an effort to repair the damage we called out to the connectional system of our wonderful Churches, District and Conference and we are dry and well. The manna mission of feeding students twice a week continues to be one of the major events of the week. Bible study has been focused on the word "Driven" which was our statement for the year. Driven to Courage, Humility, Reconciliation, Innocence, Sharing, and Truth.through Christ. This was the mission statement the students formulated at our first Spiritual Leadership Retreat this fall at Diamond Head. We invited a spiritual director to lead us in our study of leadership through Peer Ministry. This was very successful and our Leadership team this year has truly revived Wesley and built foundations for mission and growth. In the past three years we have put over $79,000.00 in repair to our building that was completed in 1965. The repairs were well over due and welcomed by all. Individual donations, Step Forward Program, Board of Higher Education, the District and Habitat for Humanity are just a few of the resources God had brought to our campus ministry. We are extremely grateful for all the hard work that has been done so these students can have a Christian witness in their lives. Missions continue with Hospice, SafePlace, Freedom Home, Children's Home UMC, Katrina victims, working for and with the elderly, visiting churches and nursing homes and supplies for a trip to Honduras. Plans are made to have a 30 Hour Famine for world hunger and to host Illinois students with Habitat for Humanity during their spring break. We have 48 students who registered with Wesley this year, with 35 very active in Bible Studies, missions and fellowship. With our building needs met, we can now focus on exciting ministry and mission at Wesley. Wesley was voted the number one place to be during Welcome Week at UNA for 2005 and we plan to be even better in 2006. Our dance was attended by over 300 students and we continue to reach out to the International students at the university. One of the statements made about us this year was " a loving, accepting place to hang out and learn about God." Let it always be so for The Wesley Foundation at UNA.

Candler School of Theology Candler School of Theology is grounded in the Christian faith and shaped by the Wesleyan tradition of evangelical piety, ecumenical openness, and social concerns. Its mission is to educate — through scholarship, teaching and service — faithful and creative leaders for the church's ministries in the world. These purposes define Candler's role as a school of Emory University and of the United Methodist Church and point to the unique challenges and opportunities we face in leading a national research university in re-discovering what it might mean to relate to a major denomination. Our school, unique in its placement within a top twenty research university and its commitment to educate pastoral and academic leadership, is poised to play an active role in the positive transformation of the church and the world. Religion has bound and divided communities since the beginning of time and now is no different. When polled about their research, over three hundred Emory professors named “religion” as a theme in their work. Ethically aware, - 358 -

theologically profound voices are desperately needed in our society, and Emory draws on its Methodist heritage and looks to Candler to bring wisdom, clarity, compassion, and tolerance to the conversation. For example, leading off one of our university strategic initiatives, “Understanding Religions and the Human Spirit,” is Carol Newsom, C. H. Candler Professor of Old Testament. Candler's faculty continues to be among the most distinctive in theological education. Forty-four members hold full-time appointment, and six hold part-time appointments. An additional fifteen serve in an adjunct capacity. Woodie White and Jack Meadors serve as United Methodist bishops in residence. Bishop L. Bevel Jones III remains at Candler working with the Development Office. In our commitment to the practice of ministry, we partner with eighty churches to ensure that ministerial preparation takes place in both the local church and on the campus. Candler's Contextual Education program intentionally pairs a faculty member with supervisors from church and community ministries so that teaching teams represent the church and the academy. Thirty-two Teaching Supervisors support our Contextual Education and Teaching Parish (student pastor) programs. Dr. Alice Rogers has broadened the Teaching Parish program, and it now includes students appointed to churches in the Alabama-West Florida, North Alabama, North Georgia, South Georgia, and South Carolina Annual Conferences. This year, enrollment was 513, with 417 in the Master of Divinity program, 55 in the Master of Theological Studies program, 15 in the Master of Theology program, 7 in the Doctor of Theology program and 19 enrolled as Special, Non-Degree students. Eighty-three percent of students are enrolled full-time. The student population is 25% US ethnic minority, 9% international, and 48% women. More than 52 denominations are represented with 60% of MDiv students being United Methodist from 40 Annual Conferences. Other denominations of the Methodist family represented at Candler include African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Nazarene, MethodistWesleyan and the Methodist Churches of Brazil, Korea, and the Caribbean. Good things are happening as we develop and put into action a plan for the life-long learning of church leaders. An exceptional conference, Faith, Politics, and Public Policy, is planned for October 8-10, 2006. Candler's own faculty with expertise in this field, as well as Jim Wallis, Jim Forbes, Susan Pace Hamill, and several others, will provide leadership. Information about this and other upcoming events is available at http://candler.emory.edu.

The faculty has completed an inspiring strategic plan that calls for the facilities noted above, new faculty chairs, program support, and increases to our scholarship endowment. Last year, 80% of eligible students received scholarship support from Candler with an average scholarship covering 80% of tuition. Gifts from the Methodist Education Fund (MEF) have played a large role in this success. However, so much more still needs to be done. More than 60% of Candler's MDiv graduates leave school with educational debt. This burden undermines their effectiveness in ministry, such that some seek alternative employment. Your continued support, gifts and prayers mean a great deal as we work to provide a strong educational program as well as support for the courageous and committed students who choose to undertake the challenge of theological education. It has been my privilege to serve as Candler's dean for the last six years. Next year, I will be on sabbatical, working on the long overdue “new” book on the history of the Methodist Church in America and other writing endeavors. Thereafter, I will return to Candler as a member of the faculty. Thank you for your support throughout my deanship and for your support of Candler-and my successor-in the years to come. Sincerely and with thanks, Russell E. Richey Dean and Professor of Church History Candler School of Theology - 359 -

Children’s Discipleship Helping Children Become Disciples

The 2005 Annual Conference welcomed our new Coordinator of Children’s Ministries, Rev. Danette Schader. The Children's Discipleship Team embarked on the “NEXT” step (Networking, Exploring, eXtending, Transitioning) in challenging and equipping local churches to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We are establishing district teams with a coordinator in each district. The goal is to provide more efficient and specific training meeting the needs of each district along with opportunities in special needs ministry, tweeners, family, multicultural trainings and networking groups.

Elementary Camping Ministry “Celebrate God's Love”, our 2005 Elementary Camping Ministry, brought over 750 children to the beautiful Camp Sumatanga. Supported by more than 150 young adult and adult counselors and directors, children celebrated worship, Bible study, fellowship and fun. We welcome our new Director of Summer Camp Ministries, Bart Styes.

ALUMAP The Alabama United Methodist Association of Preschools (ALUMAP) held its 2nd Annual Conference with more than 150 preschool directors and teachers attending workshops, and enjoying fellowship. Rev. Dale Cohen, Director of Connectional Ministries, led the group in an inspiring worship service. Plans for the ministry include district networking groups, increased publicity, and mentoring programs.

Confirmation Retreat This year's Confirmation Retreat, “Named and Claimed” was led by Rev. Chris Hughes and worship leader Ben Williams. 200 confirmands and adult leaders participated in small groups, prayer centers, and fellowship as they prepared for this important time of membership in the United Methodist Church. The weekend closed with the sacrament of Holy Communion led by Bishop Willimon.

Safe Sanctuary Policies The North Alabama Conference continues its work with every church as they prepare and are implementing the Safe Sanctuary Policies. Children, youth and the adults who work with them are important as we honor the mandate that Jesus Christ set before us making sure every church in the North Alabama Conference is a Safe Sanctuary.

Children’s Sabbath The 15th National Observance of Children's Sabbath will be October 20-22, 2006. “Congregations Stand for Healthy Children: Bringing Hope and Healing” is the theme. Every church is encouraged to set aside one Sunday in October to celebrate children. Information booklets will be available in each District office soon.

United Methodist Children’s Home “Keeping God’s Children First” PO Box 830, Selma, AL 36702-0830 — (800) 239-3575 — www.umch.net

We celebrate many “firsts” that come into the lives of our children and families. Whether a first trip to a mall or movie theatre, the first ever time to stand before a buffet meal, the first trip to a beach or to an IMAX movie, the first prom, first ride on a horse or motorcycle, the first sushi and eating with chopsticks, the first wedding and baptisms at the Children's Village in many years. We are challenged to keep everything in proper perspective. How we impact these tender lives drives the decisions we make every day. As an organization, we had our own new experiences in 2005. West Florida Foster Care, our first foster care program in Florida, opened in 2005, is exceeding performance milestones. We expect steady growth in this much-needed work to fill a critical shortage of foster care resources in this area. We continue to celebrate the educational success of our children as they complete high school and pursue the additional education and training that will prepare them to be self-supporting. In 2005, several large gifts significantly increased our capacity to provide scholarships for our children. The Children's Home finished the year in a strong position financially. Preliminary reports tell us that we were able to make the greatest total deposits into the Endowment than in any previous year, and that private donations were at an all-time high. This is the third year in a row with real growth in cash donations. Interest in, and support from, United Methodist churches is strong and growing. Continuing our emphasis on the spiritual development of the children placed in our care, in 2005, we implemented praise dance teams, music lessons, an increased variety of worship opportunities, Bible studies and other Chapel experiences. Residents of our six group homes outside of Selma continue to participate in one or more local churches. Those on our main campus worship together in the historic Children's Village Chapel. The total number of days-of-care for the children in Residential Group Care (Florence, Scottsboro, Tuscaloosa, Selma, Headland, Mobile, AL; Milton, FL) was higher than the previous year. Therapeutic Foster Care (serving 38 Alabama counties from offices in Jasper, Anniston, Selma, Troy, Evergreen, Bay Minette, Andalusia and Dothan) experienced consistent child placement levels. We are developing therapeutic foster homes in the Selma area for the first time. Our Family Options programs (Mobile, Dothan) continue to report high success rates with those families. Our staff was able to assist the Alabama Department of Human Resources in completing a number of pending adoptions.

The renewal of our EAGLE accreditation early in the year at the United Methodist Association's Annual Conference is representative of the high standards we set for ourselves. The Children's Home continues to be the only EAGLE accredited ministry in Alabama and only one of two in Florida. The Alabama Department of Human Resources consistently ranked our program proposals very high, and we consider it a high honor that Florida has selected us to implement the new foster care program there. We now have some of the best printed materials for public relations and fund development found anywhere. In addition to the three print newsletters and our Children's Art Calendar, we released six electronic newsletters, the e-News from Home, to a 1,000+ and growing list of recipients. Our website (www.umch.net) continues to be an important informational resource. We anticipate that we will be even more productive in the coming year. A strategic planning process will give us the opportunity to examine the entire ministry and establish a foundation for the future. As we have been for 115 years, we - 361 -

Church and Society There are guidelines that are sometimes used when making a report: If you don't have any results to report - discuss your plans. No plans discuss strategy. No strategy discuss policy Last year we were in the position of having few results so we presented our plan. (Our policy and elements of our strategy are defined by the UMC Discipline and our vision is expressed by the NAC Vision Statement.) This year we can report results. Our mission, as stated in the UMC Discipline, is to: • Relate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the members of the Church and to the persons and structures of the communities and world in which they live. • Bring the whole of human life, activities, possessions, use of resources, and community and world relationships into conformity with the will of God. • Show the members of the Church and the society that the reconciliation that God effected through Christ involves personal, social, and civic righteousness. Our vision has been expressed by the NAC as: “Every church challenged and equipped to make disciples of Jesus Christ by taking risks and changing lives.” Thus, our task is to work toward that vision within the scope of our mission. There are two elements of this task that are being worked in parallel. The first is to build an active infrastructure that connects the resources of all levels of our connectional system; General Board of Church & Society, NAC, district and local Church and Society Ministry Teams. The second element entails conducting research to develop materials to “challenge and equip” the members of our churches to become disciples of Jesus Christ and make their social witness. With regard to building the needed infrastructure we now have five districts in Stage I - have identified a point of contact (POC) to work with. Two districts (Huntsville and Tuscaloosa) are in Stage II - have committees established and are conducting workshops in district churches. With regard to the second element we have initiated Project Landscape - A Blueprint for Fairness and Justice in Public Policy. Project Landscape is an ambitious effort of surveying our public policy landscape to determine the quality of justice that is provided by these policies. Our goal is to create a blueprint and a road map that will guide our future efforts to generate a more fair and just society.

REPORTS

We are called to this effort via “Our Theological Task” (UMC Discipline). “As United Methodists, we are called to identify the needs both of individuals, and of society and to address those needs out of the resources of Christian faith in a way that is clear, convincing, and effective. Theology serves the Church by interpreting the world's needs and challenges to the Church and by interpreting the gospel to the world.” We are guided in this effort, again by “Our Theological Task”, in the discussion of Scripture, Tradition, Experience and Reason (STER). At this moment we have prepared six moral issues briefing papers. Two of these; Constitution Reform and Tax Reform, can be considered policies that provide governance structure. Our constitution provides the framework for governing our public affairs and our tax policies provide the means for generating the revenue to accomplish our public desires. Overlaid on these structural areas is an examination of the attributes of our society e.g. education, health care, transportation, fiscal and employment. In this area we have completed four briefing papers; death penalty, abortion, landlord-tenant relationships and predatory lending laws.

- 372 -

All of the briefing papers are on the NAC website - Church and Society screen http://www.northalabamaumc.org/page.asp?PKValue=915. As more areas are examined they will be added to the web site. These papers are now being reviewed by other elements of the NAC structure and their endorsements will be added as that process proceeds. The purpose of the papers is twofold. First is for use by the local church to “challenge and equip” their members to become disciples. Consequently, the format of each paper states the moral issue, describes the facts germane to the subject and a theological grounding using STER. The second purpose is to make a statement to the general public that we consider these to be moral issues that must be a part of the debate in the public square during election and legislative periods. To achieve these ends workshops are being conducted in local churches and public forums. These workshops are instruments for organizing Church and Society Teams within the congregations reactivating church members. In November, 05, Huntsville First UMC, hosted a workshop organized by the Interfaith Mission Service. Four topics; health care, transportation, tax reform and constitutional reform were addressed. The material compiled is now being readied for use by small groups. Over 200 people attended and a follow up session has been conducted to resource approximately 50 religious education professions and volunteers in the churches of Huntsville. On occasion those of us participating in the ministry of Church & Society are called upon to defend its validity as a ministry of the church. Our Discipline provides that in a manner that surpasses adequacy, as does the lives of many individuals. In closing I would like to recommend J. Philip Wogaman's book “Christian Perspectives on Politics” and included is an excerpt from his Epilogue. “There are, as we have seen, many different Christian perspectives on politics. There are the divergent, even bitterly contradictory perspectives of different Christian thinkers and movements. There are the different angles of vision afforded by the many theological entry points offered by Christian tradition. There are the unique perspectives we find helpful in dealing with the different concrete issues of public policy.

But if it is arrogant to claim to know all about God's will for politics, it may be equally so to try to maintain one's moral purity by avoiding politics altogether. Everybody who participates at all in the social world is inescapably involved in politics, for politics draws upon all of us whether we like it or not. Nor is it possible to divorce our political selves from our religious selves, leaving God safely in a theological ghetto while we busy ourselves with affairs of state. For again, if God is God then we surely are in encounter with God at every moment in every aspect of our being.” The following Moral Issues Briefing Papers are before you for your review and approval. Respectively submitted, Chuck Vedane Convener, Church & Society Ministry Team - 373 -

REPORTS

Every Christian perspective must somehow come to terms with the notion that the world of politics is a place of encounter between humanity and God. That notion, by itself, can give rise to insufferable arrogance among Christians who are too confident that they alone are sure interpreters of the will of god. If God is God, then none of us had better be too self-confident about that nor too self-righteous about our own capacity to be what God intends us to be. As we have seen, the contemporary world offers many illustrations of exactly such arrogance, though not all of them are Christian in background.

United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference Position on Abortion Position Paper Title: United Methodist Church North Alabama Conference Position on abortion.

Statement of Moral Issue: The sanctity of the life of an unborn human being demands that we not approve of abortion, except in the case of severe fetal anomalies incompatible with life or in situations where devastating damage to the life and well-being of the mother would result.

Background/History The North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church stands firm in affirming the God given right of unborn human beings to life and encourages everyone to make every reasonable effort to secure and nurture such lives. The United Methodist Church strongly supports and urges young mothers to select the option of nurture and adoption over abortion. Equally important is the life and well being of the mother to whom devastating consequences might result from an unacceptable pregnancy. In the midst of current highly charged debates, it is important to calmly, rationally and prayerfully deliberate over the true facts of each case. We oppose the use of late-term abortion known as dilation and extraction (partial-birth abortion) and call for the end of this practice except when the life of the mother is in danger and no other medical procedure is available, or in the case of severe fetal anomalies incompatible with life. We commit ourselves to nurturing those who terminate a pregnancy, those in the midst of a crisis pregnancy, those who give birth and of course to the newly born. To this end we assert that Governmental laws and regulations do not and can not provide all the guidance required by the informed Christian conscience. Therefore a decision concerning abortion should be made only after thoughtful and prayerful consideration by the parties involved, with medical, pastoral, and other appropriate counsel.

Facts Bearing on the Issue: The North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church proposes that parties involved in situations of seemingly unacceptable pregnancy consider the following possible means of dealing with their own particular situation. a.

REPORTS

b.

c.

The long term rewards of parenthood and nurturing of children to becoming all God intends for them is far greater than the investment of one's own personal and monetary sacrifices. Accepting the pregnancy as a perhaps difficult situation, but one that can be endured may be the best overall approach. The fact that it may cause adverse personal feelings, unplanned, costly and inconvenient efforts may be successfully counterbalanced by the love and compassion of family and Christian friends. So, giving birth and enjoying the rewards of raising the child are a real and positive alternative. A variety of support services can be made available to help this course succeed. Where conditions do not allow for the solution of giving birth and raising the child the alternative of granting other needy, suitable adults the opportunity to adopt the child is a viable alternative and should be considered. A variety of support services can be made available to help this course succeed. When all other courses of action have been ruled out and the life and well being of the mother are threatened or severe fetal anomalies incompatible with life are at stake abortion may be considered a last alternative. In such cases the resources of the United Methodist Church are offered to help with the pastoral counseling to enhance the emotional recovery and future well being of the surviving individuals involved.

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture:

The sanctity of life is celebrated in scripture repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. In Exodus 20:13 God commands “You shall not commit murder.” (New International Version [NIV]) This admonishment is extended to the unborn lives of fetuses as well as to adults. Jesus repeated this commandment in Matthew 19:18 (NIV) in answering the question “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” when he responded, in part, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.” From these and other scriptures it is obvious that Christians are charged to respect and preserve both the lives of mothers and children. Because we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves we must extend that love and compassion to all individuals in the situation. In this regard we wish to help the mother, the child and other stakeholders to recover from whatever course of action is conducted. Christians are called to extend the love of God to mothers in poverty who accept the embarrassment, scorn and ridicule arising from her pregnancy and choose to deal with the heartache and added financial hardships. Christians show the love of God by helping with the nurturing of both mother and child. This calls for prenatal care and nourishment as well as care and nurturing after the child is born, as all are children of God and beloved in his sight. Tradition:

The North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church has a long tradition of supporting faith statements such as that above with concrete actions. We provide pastoral care and counseling to mothers in need and homes and child rearing assistance for children. Examples of these efforts include the United Methodist Children's Home, numerous foster home placements and multiple individual counseling series. The United Methodist Church has advocated through these efforts in favor of preserving the sanctity of life. Traditionally we have incurred financial expenditures and exerted efforts to preserve and facilitate these lives through efforts to relieve suffering. It is highly consistent that we have advocated nurturing both children born to mothers whose pregnancies were unplanned and nurturing the mothers. This nurturing has taken the form of childrearing support, adoption support and prenatal and post birth support to the mothers and other stakeholders. Experience:

The North Alabama Conference has endeavored to enrich the lives of Alabama citizens through an ever deeper personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Real life experiences abound where our pastors counsel adoption over abortion and failing that offer grief counseling for surviving family members. The Conference supports children available for adoption through the United Methodist Children's Home and through foster parenting. Certainly this Conference's position on abortion is not merely a slogan or platitude. It is an ongoing effort to further God's kingdom by taking action to nurture families to grow in their love of God.

Rational analysis of the abortion issue leads us to consider individual cases based on their own merits. Each healthy new born child has the same opportunity to prosper and grow into all that God intended. It is reasonable to expect and each new born, if provided proper parenting, adequate medical care, and positive spiritual guidance, will lead a successful life. Such success need not depend on the circumstances of conception or whether adoption was involved. It is right to encourage all expectant mothers to love and nurture the new life within her and to remain an encouragement to her. This is so even if the pregnancy was unplanned or unwanted. It is rational to expect that an unwanted pregnancy may be terminated by some mothers in unsafe ways, if supportive alternatives are not offered. Where the mother's life or her well being would be threatened, it is reasonable to expect that irreparable damage may be done to her. This would likely result in not only the human cost, but also a burden on society which can not be easily calculated. Solely from a rational standpoint forcing a pregnancy in which an abnormality incompatible with human life exists to full term brings on human suffering as well as a burden on society. As reprehensible as the taking of a life is, the United Methodist Church must rationally consider all those lives impacted. Based on the merits of the individual case, abortion may rarely be the only acceptable course of action. - 375 -

REPORTS

Reason:

Conclusion & Statement of Position: We of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church strongly object to any additional governmental interference with any decision regarding abortion. Such decisions should be made only after consultation by the involved parties with medical, pastoral, and other appropriate counsel. This should not be a matter of law as much as it should be a matter of individual conscience and consultation. Careful, thoughtful and prayerful consideration should guide persons in these difficult circumstances, not a law passed without consideration of the individual merits of specific cases. We in the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church call on members of the Alabama Legislature to reject any movement by government to further restrict or interfere with the decision process.

United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference Position on and the Christian Response to the Alabama Constitution of 1901 Position Paper Title: United Methodist Church North Alabama Conference Position on and the Christian Response to the Alabama Constitution of 1901

Statement of the Moral Issue: The Alabama Constitution of 1901 imposes, or attempts to impose immoral restrictions on citizens and attacks their human dignity to the detriment of the state and the ability of it and its citizens to become all God intends them to be.

Background/History: The Alabama Constitution of 1901, the sixth in the history of the state, was framed and approved from May 21st, 1901, to September 3rd, 1901 in a Convention of 155 white males who openly disregarded the rights of women and minority citizens, while simultaneously harming the future growth and economic wellbeing of the state overall. The recorded proceedings of this convention establish the blatant preoccupation with justifying their continuing prejudice against minorities by asserting that white authorities in northern states such as Massachusetts and Illinois would act commensurately with them if the Negro population in those states were as large as in southern states and insuring that Negroes shall not be permitted to vote in Alabama. Specific unacceptable shortcomings of this constitution include the following: a. Immoral denigration and oppression of racial minority members of the citizenry. b. Provided for an immoral, unfair and oppressive system of taxation. c. By reserving all authority in the state legislature for making local government decisions makes justice and adaptation to citizen needs awkward and non-responsive. Because the state government is more distant and less responsive to local needs, this is counter to the democratic principles and encumbered facilitating citizen participation in government. d. Forbade all economic development 1, rendering citizens' economic future less competitive and abundant than they deserve. e. The length and complexity of the document effectively denies citizens access to the governing framework of the state.

Facts bearing on the issue:

a. The 1901 Alabama Constitution is the sixth such constitution of the state (this does not include the Territorial Constitution that existed prior to statehood). b. Power over local issues is concentrated in the legislature in Montgomery and thereby subject to the legislative schedule and calendar demands and priorities of legislators, except as provided for municipalities and special situations. c. During the first two days of the 1901 Convention John Knox, President of the Convention as well as others made it clear that they intended to prevent Negroes from voting in Alabama and otherwise restrict and oppress Negroes by way of the Constitution they were codifying. This constitution provides prohibitions against Miscegenation (interracial marriage - Section 102), requirements for a Poll Tax, and other devices (Section 178 - 190), literacy testing and related items relative to voter registration as a precondition for voting eligibility, etc. (Section 181 through 189). 1

Because counties and municipalities, etc. lack the power to undertake economic development projects by themselves these entities have had to resort to amending the state constitution. See the following amendments: 48, 94, 95, 104, 128, 155, 166, 174, 183, 186, 188, 190, 191, 197, 217, 220, 221, 227, 243, 244, 247, 250, 256, 257, 261, 263, 277, 302, 303, 312, 313, 338, 355, 376, 394, 429, 431, 468, 475, 510, 545, 563, 596, 624, 642, 646, 666, 678, 679, 682, 701, 797, 719, 723, 725, 729, 739, et. al.

REPORTS

The Alabama Constitution of 1901 contains provisions that establish several objective facts that are indisputable, which include the following.

d. Section 93 states that: The state shall not engage in works of internal improvement, nor lend money or its credit in aid of such; nor shall the state be interested in any private or corporate enterprise, or lend money or its credit to any individual, association, or corporation. As a result of this historic stance in the constitution, denying any public improvements by local or state authority, the following constitutional amendments have been required: Section 93, Amendments 1, 6, 11, 12, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23, 58, 68, 69, 73, 80, 87, 100, 113, 116, 117, 118, 119,120, 122, 126, 127, 151, 152, 157, 160, 193, 201, 213, 222, 224, 232, 257, 258, 266, 268, 270, 273, 274, 281, 286, 287, 288, 300, 315, 324, 327, 338, 340, 355, 363, 364, 374, 378, 395, 396, 400, 410, 451, 452, 453, 463, 465, 470, 477, 492, 510, 543, 551, 554, 584, 593, 603, 610, 617, 618, 619, 620, 637, 649, 652, 653, 666, 667, 668, 669, 709, 711, 715, 728) e. Separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race. (Section 256, 270).

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture:

REPORTS

In the Gospel according to Luke, Chapter 19, we have the story of Zaccheaus, a despised tax collector. The story is one in which Jesus sees Zaccheaus as an imperfect, sinful individual who has conspired with the unjust and oppressive government authorities of the day. He had benefited from the spoils of a corrupt and unjust governmental structure. However, when he was confronted by Jesus, he pledged of his own volition to give half of all he owned to the poor and compensate anyone he might have cheated by restoring the amount of his embezzlement four to one. Still, Jesus sought to befriend him and to transform him such that his outlook on his fellow man in the future will be more just and compassionate. Many in the crowd grumbled that Jesus was associating with a terrible sinner. But Jesus responded to them that salvation had come to his house and that Jesus' mission was to seek out and save those who were lost. Jesus sought to correct injustices and to transform the individual perf orming the injustices so that he would live a better life as would those with whom he transacted business would do likewise. We are called to confront injustices for the benefit of the poor, and powerless. Zaccheaus already knew Jesus by his reputation, and was convinced to mend his ways for the future and to rectify any past injustices. We in the United Methodist must make it known to all those in seats of power and the voting populace of the state of Alabama that the injustices embedded in the 1901 constitution are an affront to the teachings of Jesus. The Scriptures compel us to take action to eliminate the 1901 constitution and to replace it with one more just and righteous. Old Testament teachings provide similar guidelines. Isaiah 10 states “Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims-Laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity, Exploiting defenseless widows, taking advantage of homeless children. What will you have to say on Judgment Day, when Doomsday arrives out of the blue? Who will you get to help you? What good will your money do you?” Leviticus, Chapter 19 cautions us not to be so greedy that we leave no opportunity for the poor to make a living. In verses 9-15 it states “When you harvest your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings from the harvest. Don't strip your vineyard bare or go back and pick up the fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am God, your God.” Likewise, in Exodus, Chapter 22, verses 21-27 state “If you lend money to my people, to any of the down-and-out among you, don't come down hard on them and gouge them with interest. If you take your neighbor's coat as security, give it back before nightfall; it may be your neighbor's only covering”. These teachings tell us to be compassionate with our neighbors and not to be oppressive. Unfortunately, the 1901 Alabama constitution contains the most oppressive tax structure among all 50 states, by far. Clearly these scriptures instruct us to oppose the structures of the 1901 constitution. The framers of the 1901 Constitution have all passed away now, but their legacy lives on in that document. We have the opportunity and responsibility to bring about positive change that will generate greater justice in Alabama. If we continue to ignore the injustices in the system as it exists, we become participants with “those who legislate evil”. Tradition:

According to the United Methodist Church Book of Discipline (¶ 1005) members are called to “provide forthright witness and action on issues of human well-being, justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.” Also, in ¶ 164 (C) of the Book of Discipline we read “The Church must exert strong influence on the state, support- 378 -

ing policies of justice and opposing those of injustice.” Clearly no racist and hate inspired document such as the 1901 Alabama constitution can be compatible with the conviction that there be “neither Jew nor Greek” (Galatians 3:28). It was under just such a banner that Bishop Goodson attempted on multiple occasions to arrange meetings between Gov. Wallace and Rev. King to resolve Civil Rights issues and ease tensions in the state. United Methodists and the North Alabama Conference, in particular, has a tradition of working to correct injustices in the state. Experience:

Examples abound in our past experience where Christians, including United Methodist worked vigorously for righteousness and justice against the powers established in the status quo. Christians opposed slavery in the 1800s and ultimately won freedom for millions of individuals. The United Methodist Women via predecessor organizations worked vigorously for women's suffrage and child labor laws and ultimately won the right to vote for millions of women who had been ignored in the political process and won protections for children who were being exploited by employers. Also, Christians worked for and won Civil Rights for all American citizens in the 1960s. United Methodists have experienced all of the unpopularity that comes with opposing the status quo, and have enjoyed the benefits of victory once success in complete. Reason:

From a purely secular standpoint the Alabama constitution of 1901 is counterproductive for several reasons. Simply put, its business processes are so inefficient that it is costing Alabama voters millions of dollars annually and making it ever more difficult to compete with other states to attract corporate investment of capital and high paying jobs. Because of constitutional prohibitions against public improvements and changes on taxes, a constitutional amendment is necessary for an attractive proposal to be developed to offer to any corporation thinking of establishing a new manufacturing plant or industrial complex. Indeed an amendment to the constitution is often needed just to establish the proposal team and resources to develop such a proposal. Evidence of this is affirmed among the amendments cited above. Another way the state constitution is costing Alabamians millions of dollars is its concentration of power in the state legislature. Currently the legislature spends half if its time discussing local issues. So, Alabama taxpayers are paying nearly $2.5M annually on matters that don't concern the whole state, just one city or county. Add to this the cost of staff members' time, office resources, facility utilities and of course the cost of lengthening the next ballot for all voters to vote on the issue, if the legislature passes the matter. Aside from these dollar costs, there are the costs associated with Alabama residents being forced to endure a protracted legislative process where their local issue must compete with the state General Fund Budget and Education Budget and other momentous issues for time and attention. Action on critical local issues such as competing for investment in plant and equipment, jobs, etc. is often delayed unacceptably.

Conclusion and Statement of Petition: We of the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church strongly condemn the current (1901) constitution of the state of Alabama. This constitution oppresses poor and powerless citizens while providing excessive luxuries for the rich and powerful of Alabama and some beyond its borders. We specifically oppose the unfair tax structure which oppresses the poor, the racist provisions that denigrate the human spirit. We oppose the excessive concentration of power in the state legislature that subjugates local issues to legislative and statewide approvals. We oppose restrictions that undermine and render exceedingly inefficient those initiatives for public improvements and additional employment opportunities which would enhance the living standards of Alabama citizens.

REPORTS

Furthermore, a common sense application of the Biblical principles, stated above, to modern, Alabama conditions and situations forces us to the conclusion that to continue to ignore the injustices embedded in the 1901 Alabama constitution is to ally oneself with the forces of oppression. The North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist can not condone such a position or inaction and must therefore state its moral objection to allowing this document to stand.

We call on the Alabama Legislature to authorize the citizens of Alabama to convene a Constitutional Convention. This Convention should replace the 1901 Alabama Constitution with a more fair, more compassionate, more forward thinking document. We call on civic and public sector leaders of Alabama to support the call for a Constitutional Convention and inform their constituents of the benefits of this Convention.

United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference Position on the Christian response to the Application of the Death Penalty Position Paper Title: United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference Position on the Christian response to the Application of the Death Penalty

Statement of the Moral Issue: The death penalty is society's vengeful response to crime. As stated by the theologian Robert Morris, “the impulse toward vengeance…if allowed to flow untransformed…breeds retaliation.” Capital Punishment is the ultimate form of retaliation that emanates from anger and a sense of justice based on the need to get even. But through Christ, Morris concludes that “the vengeful streak in our nature can be transformed into compassionate intercession of God's merciful justice and a just mercy.” 1

Background: As United Methodists and people of faith, we must acknowledge the death penalty as a tool of retribution and address the problems in its application. In practice, poor and minorities disproportionately receive capital convictions. The death penalty is unreliable, since innocent individuals do receive death sentences from: mistaken identity, coercion by unethical law enforcement officers, prosecutorial misconduct and incompetent defense. (It is unconscionable that the state of Alabama does not fund a public defendant system to do the necessary research required in capital cases.) The international human rights community has cited the following concerns with the application of the death penalty in the United States: a) the execution of juvenile offenders; b) the execution of those suffering from mental retardation or severe mental illness; c) the arbitrary application of the death penalty (which can be related to race); and d) the length of time that death row inmates spend in extreme isolation and deprivation between sentencing and execution. 2

Though not everyone is tested, at least 34 individuals with identified mental retardation have been executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. 5 The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on June 20, 2002 that executing mentally retarded defendants is in violation of the Eighth Amendment. 6 The death sentence of James Henry Bordon, an Alabama death row inmate, was changed to life without parole in the spring of 2005 based on the 2002 ruling. Even more alarming are the number of inmates who suffer from mental illnesses. Mental health experts believe that up to 10 percent of those convicted of capital offenses are mentally retarded. 7 Although, US laws prohibits the execution of the insane, the standard for determining mental defect is precarious and subjective.

REPORTS

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, are two international treaties that prohibit the use of the death penalty for juvenile offenders. They each include language that prohibits capital punishment or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole to be imposed for offenses committed by persons below eighteen years of age.” 3 In 1992, the United States endorsed the ICCPR, but took reservations on Article 6 of the Covenant, which referred to the death penalty. President Clinton, during his administration, signed the Convention on the Rights of Children, but congress failed to ratify it. 4 However, in a recent ruling, the US Supreme Court: Roper v. Simmons determined by a vote 5-4 that executing defendants under 18 is a violation of the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution cruel and unusual treatment clause.

In a project reported in the Cornell Law Review in the late 90's on race and the death penalty, researchers found that there was evidence of race-of-victim disparities in 26 out of 29 of the death penalty states “…i.e., under otherwise similar circumstances, a defendant was more likely to receive a death sentence if the victim was white than if the victim was black.” 8 These results were also consistent with a 1990 General Accounting Office review that found similar patterns of racial bias across the country in capital cases. 9 The average death row inmate spends approximately nine (9) years in a 6 by 9 foot isolated cell (in the case of William Elledge from Florida, 23 years); with little contact with the outside world (family or other inmates). From day to day he/she lives in limbo, not knowing when their death sentence will be carried out. Because of the precarious nature of confinement on death row, the international courts have ruled such treatment cruel and inhumane punishment. 10

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture:

In the old testament of the Bible, Micah 6:8 asks and answers the question of what God requires of his people: “to do what is just; to love mercy; and to walk humbly with God.” Changing lives through taking risks, in order to create a beloved community, requires working for justice and living out love and mercy through serving others: the oppressed, the brokenhearted, the captive, and the prisoner (Isaiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18). Through the Gospel writers, we can conclude the death penalty as an oxymoron to mercy and compassion, and antithetical to the concept of a beloved community. John 8:7 reminds us, “…who is without sin among you cast the first stone….” Casting stones is retributive rather than restorative. The end result of restoration is reconciliation and peace, whereas, retribution leads to vengeance, violence and brokenness. Robert C. Morris states that “to save us from the dangers of raw, untamed vengeance, the Divine reserves the right of vengeance to itself: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” (Romans 12:19)”. 11 God alone gives life and God alone should take life. Therefore, we, the faithful, are called to uphold the sanctity of life, even that of the murderer through compassion and mercy. Tradition:

The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church, a prayerful and reflective attempt of the church to speak to human conditions through sound Biblical theology in the Wesleyan tradition of social consciousness, opposes capital punishment and urges its elimination. It states that “…In the love of Christ who came to save those who are lost and vulnerable, we urge the creation of genuinely new systems…for rehabilitation that will restore, preserve, and nurture the humanity of the imprisoned.” 12 The adoption of this statement by the General Conference acknowledges that the death penalty is inhumane and disregards the sanctity of life. Therefore, we are called to work for the abolition of capital punishment and support all efforts that will lead to progressive changes within the criminal justice system, which includes but not limited to a moratorium on executions within the state of Alabama and the nation.

REPORTS

Experience:

We need not go any farther than the state of Alabama to prove the fallibility of the death penalty. Within the last few years, several former inmates were exonerated or acquitted after serving years on Alabama's death row: Johnnie Harris, Bo Cochran (who lived on death row for almost 13 years), Randall Pagent, and Walter McMillan. Through the

appeals process (which the government and state would like to shorten or end altogether), DNA testing, and the admission of guilt to one crime by another individual, these men were saved from execution. A recent poll, conducted by the Alabama Education Association Capital Survey Research Center, appeared in the Birmingham News showing that 57% of Alabamians favor a moratorium on the death penalty and 62% would support candidates who favor a moratorium until questions of fairness, reliability, and DNA testing have been answered. In affirmation of the United Methodist Church commitment to justice and the elimination of racial bias, the North Alabama Annual Conference in 2000 passed a resolution in support of a three year moratorium on executions. Reason:

II Corinthians 5:18-19 reads, “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.” In view of these words and works of Christ, how can any Christian claim to follow Christ and not participate in ministries of compassion and mercy? We cannot forget that even on the cross, Christ forgave a repenting criminal. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that whether responding to a penitent thief agonizing on the cross or a victim lying helpless on the road to Jericho, followers of Christ cannot simply “pass by on the other side.” 13 What is true for all Christians is especially true for Methodists, defined by our founder John Wesley, as those who “have the Love of God… must not despise our birth-right, bury our talent, or refuse to use our gifts” 14 for service to others, including the prisoner.

Conclusion:

REPORTS

The evidence against capital punishment strongly suggests that innocent people are sometimes convicted and executed. It is also evident that our legal system is bias toward the poor and minorities. Statistics also reveal that many defendants in many states including Alabama get incompetent legal counsel. Therefore, we call on United Methodist everywhere to urge the state of Alabama and the nation to institute a three year moratorium on executions to examine the problems with its application.

Predatory and Abusive Lending Practices Position Paper Title: Predatory and Abusive Lending Practices

Statement of the Moral Issue: Current Payday Lending and Car Title Loans Lenders unscrupulously target the poor, uneducated and destitute for loans while intentionally trapping them for long-term payments/indebtedness through immoral exploitative lending practices.

Background/History: (1) Payday Lending/Cash Advance uses a post-dated check or electronic checking account information such as income from a job or government benefits, social security or disability payments, are used as collateral for an inconspicuous long-term loan disguised as a short-term loan. (2) Car title loans are marketed as small emergency loans. It requires repayment within one month and is made for much less than the value of the car. These loans put at risk an asset that is essential to the well-being of working families.

Facts Bearing on the Issue: (1) Payday lending/cash advance - Research shows the payday lending business model is designed to keep borrowers in debt, not to provide one-time assistance during a time of infrequent financial need. Before making a loan, legitimate lenders assess the ability of potential borrowers to repay it. Five million Americans have been caught in the trap of payday lending as this business model costs Americans an estimated $3.4 Billion annually in excess fees. (a) Getting a payday loan usually causes more financial problems for a consumer, not fewer. Only one percent (1%) of all payday loans go to one-time emergency borrowers who pay their loans and do not borrow again within a year. (b) A review of the business plans for payday lending/cash advance organizations reveals targeting customers who are disproportionately minority, military or low income persons. African-American neighborhoods have three times as many predatory payday lending stores per capita as white neighborhoods. Military Personnel are ideal targets for abusive payday loans. The payday lending business model is designed to cultivate repeat borrowers to their ultimate financial ruin.

REPORTS

(c) Payday lenders misrepresent the true cost of borrowing to their customers. Over 40% of borrowers believe their payday loan rates are less than 30% APR (approximate credit card rate). But, the rates are on average thirteen times higher (at roughly 400%). (d) State court ruling exempted payday lending from the Alabama Small Loans Act. (e) Payday lenders ignore unfavorable state provisions by claiming federal preemptions, which do not exist. (2) Car Title Loans are marketed as small emergency loans. In reality these loans have a triple-digit annual interest rate and trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. Car title lenders knowingly coax borrowers into financial ruin. (3) The existing Alabama Small Loans Act limits the interest rate on small loans to 36% and prohibits business practices that disguise higher interest as special fees and service charges.

- 384 -

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture:

United Methodists share with other Christians the conviction that Scripture is the primary source and criterion for Doctrine. The faithful reading of Scripture such as Matthew 21:12-13, Jesus enters the temple area where moneychangers were cheating those who came to them to exchange currency; “Jesus accused them of being robbers”. Those who take advantage of the poor of the 21st century are doing the same thing. Mark's Gospel of this story says Jesus was so upset and indignant about the unfair practices that “he over turned the tables”. As we open our minds and hearts to the Word of God - our understanding is deepened and the possibility for transforming the world becomes apparent to us in such cases as lenders who intentionally exploit the unknowing poor. Galatians 6:2 invites us to “carry each others burdens and in this you will fulfill the law”. Tradition:

For Wesley there is no religion but social religion and any holiness but social holiness. The Wesleyan tradition not only promotes personal growth; they also equip, mobilize, and command us for mission and service to the world, especially the poor and destitute. The outreach of the Church springs from the working of the Spirit, we respond in faith, service, and witness which moves us to act on our desire for justice in the world. Christian tradition help us cover the biblical witness to God's special commitment to the poor, the disabled and all marginalized persons. Experience:

Our experiences interact with Scripture, tradition and experience authenticates in our own lives. Truths revealed in Scripture as “Christian Experience” described by “United Methodist” gives us new eyes to see the living truth. It illumines our understanding of God and creation, which motivate us to make moral judgments as well as act in the best interest to get legislative law changes to prevent or restrict such unjust lending priorities. Reason:

Although the United Methodist Church recognizes that God's revelation and our experiences of God's grace continually surpasses the scope of human reason, we also believe that any disciplined theological work calls for the careful use of reason. Daily, Christians are presented with an array of concerns and issues that require us to apply Scripture, Experience and Tradition, along side “Reason” that is congruent to the Biblical mandate. Alabama law makers must be held accountable as the voice for ALL people. We as Christians are called to action in keeping those we elect mindful of their duty to justice for all. All too often the poor becomes poorer and the rich becomes richer by legislative decisions. Human reason realizes that this is not humane nor or God. The Biblical examples of prophets of old used reason with the command of God. Among them was one who continues to speak to us today, reminding us through asking us, “what does the Lord require of you ... but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God”.

People with legitimate, short-term needs who will pay off their loans within two weeks are not that attractive to payday lenders. Instead, payday lenders make most of their profits from borrowers who cannot pay off their loans, and instead renew them repeatedly, quickly paying more in fees than they originally borrowed. [Research done by Alabama Arise and the Center for Responsible Lending has shown] that borrowers who get five or more loans per year account for 91 % of payday lenders' revenues. Consumers want and deserve non-predatory small consumer loans, not “business as usual.” Payday lenders primary purpose is to prey on the unsuspecting poor and under-educated in violation of the 8th Commandment: “Thou shall not steal.” Representatives on both sides of the aisles should provide ethical and moral leadership by demanding passage of legislation that mandates the “Small Loan Act” apply to payday lenders and car title lenders. Business plans by payday lenders target the 40 million American households with incomes of $25,000 or less that need convenient check cashing and quick availability of micro loans between $50 and $300. Payday lenders do not assess the ability of potential borrowers to repay a loan. In fact, their business is built on making loans to individuals who cannot pay off timely, so that they are coerced into coming back repeatedly to pay fees on the same small loan to avoid threats of charges for writing a bad check even when state law prohibit making such threats. Enacting mandatory arbitration clause and eliminating a borrower's right to sue for abusive lending practices, these clauses work to the benefit of payday lenders over consumers. - 385 -

REPORTS

Conclusion and Statement of Petition:

When required to deploy, military families are confronted with extra expenses at home and abroad and are more vulnerable to the abusive lenders unconcerned with their sacrifices and small salaries. African-American neighborhoods have historically been disadvantaged by unfair lending practices. Analysis reveals a powerful relationship between the proportion of African-Americans in a neighborhood and the prevalence of payday lending businesses. Findings show race does matter, even when other factors are considered. Car title lenders have made generous campaign contributions, and industry-friendly laws have been passed at breakneck speeds.

United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference, Position on and Christian Response to the Tax Structure Established by the Alabama Constitution of 1901 Position Paper Title: United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference, Position on and Christian Response to the Tax Structure Established by the Alabama Constitution of 1901

Statement of the Moral Issue: The Alabama Constitution of 1901 imposes a regressive tax structure on Alabama citizens which not only (a) takes a disproportionate amount of income from those least able to pay, but also, by refusing to assign to those most able to pay any responsibility for caring for the poor, (b) systematically and effectively denies the poor the educational opportunities, health care and basic social services necessary to improve their economic circumstances. No other state treats its big landholders so favorably, nor its poor so uncharitably, rewarding the wealthy with low property and income taxes and punishing the poor with high income and sales taxes which strip them of a disproportionately high percentage of their already inadequate incomes. And no other state seems so intent on maintaining an economic environment that will not allow the poor the chance to work their way out of a century of deliberately imposed poverty. As Christians, must we conclude that Alabama's constitutionally-imposed tax structure is immoral and fight for its reformation?

Background/History:

The men who wrote the 1901 Constitution did not want democratic government to succeed in providing fair and equitable representation; rather, they wanted elected leaders to fail so that special interests could rule the state through influence over a concentrated group of legislators. They wanted centralized power, where local elected leaders would have to come to Montgomery to beg their legislative delegations to approve the revenue measures necessary to run their communities wisely, to perform even the most mundane local jobs requiring public expenditures, and to do what is necessary to enhance and make safe the lives of all citizens. What these wealthy men accomplished in their zeal to pre-

During the Reconstruction, high property tax burdens were imposed on the wealthiest planters and, for the first time, yeomen farmers. Our “current use” scheme, unlike those of our neighboring states with similar statutes, allows even speculative property in booming suburbs to be taxed at its “current use.” The next lowest state tax thresholds for a similar family are Mississippi at $19,600 and South Carolina at $21,401. The federal poverty level for a family of four is approximately $19,000, and the federal income tax threshold is $19,307, leading to the absurd result that a family earning $19,307 would pay no federal income tax, yet would pay almost $500 in Alabama state income tax.

REPORTS

In 1901 an alliance of planters and industrialists, reacting to the tax excesses of Reconstruction1, adopted a constitution designed to concentrate legislative power in the hands of Alabama's landowning elites and to immunize them from taxes, with the result that Alabama's tax structure was -- and remains -- inadequate to support adequate public education, minimal health care and the most basic social services, and insures recurrent budget crises. Worse, in 1973, a “current use” tax (Amendment 373) was enacted which resulted in Alabama's vast acres of agricultural and timber land being taxed at a rate of approximately $1 per acre, compared with approximately $4 per acre for similarly-used land in Mississippi and Georgia2. This subsidy for large landowners resulted in fully 71% of the state's land being taxed at approximately $1 an acre, with the result that 71% of the state's land produces less than 2% of the state's property tax revenues. The resulting dearth of property tax revenues in agricultural and timber counties has left local governments in those areas no choice but to impose regressive sales taxes in order to fund critical governmental services. Additionally, the Alabama Legislature's refusal to raise the threshold at which state income taxes are payable from $4,600 for a family of four3, or to repeal the state tax deduction for federal income taxes paid (which significantly reduces state income taxes payable by affluent Alabamians), means that Alabama's poorer citizens bear a proportionately greater tax burden than their wealthier counterparts. The poorest people in Alabama shoulder one of the heaviest relative tax burdens in the nation.

vent the government from taxing their property was a structure that guaranties ineffectiveness, inefficiency and unaccountable government4, a backward and depressed economic environment, and a large population of poor people with little chance of escaping poverty. In making Alabama “safe” for themselves, these powerful men condemned generations of Alabamians to poverty, ignorance and bitter and unnecessary division. Even before Amendment 373, Alabama's 1901 constitution starved public services by imposing miserly limits on property taxes. This condition led the Brookings Institution to conclude in 1932 that Alabama's constitution -- by capping property tax rates and dictating the process for assessing the value of property-- had created a "warped and distorted" tax system that tried to substitute a confusing jumble for fair property taxes.

Facts Bearing on the Issue:

REPORTS

Fact: Alabama has the lowest per capita property tax revenues in the nation, at only 1/3 of the national average. Since property taxes generally support the most basic public services (education, hospitals, parks, youth services, fire protection, roads, bridges, libraries, etc.), Alabama is sorely lacking in these areas compared with our fellow southeastern states. Without adequate, fair and efficient taxes, public services suffer. As a result, Alabama is at or near the bottom in all quality of life measurements.5 Our schools and services are grossly and systemically underfunded, while our prisons bulge at 169% of capacity -- two facts that are clearly related since inmates in Alabama's overcrowded prisons read, on average, at below a sixth grade level and most lack even basic job skills and work habits. Efforts to improve this situation are shipwrecked by our outdated and evilly-conceived constitution, whose framers, in their zeal to disfranchise the poor and to protect their vast properties from taxation, left us poorly equipped for the 20th century, much less the 21st,. Some additional facts: • Alabama ranks third worst of the fifty states in the wellbeing of its children6, above only Louisiana and Mississippi. • Nearly 22% of Alabama's children (approximately 253,000) live below the federal poverty line, especially in rural areas where poverty remains stubbornly entrenched. • In many counties, schools lack even the basics (textbooks, A/C, computers) of public education. • Despite earmarking of almost 90% of the state's tax revenues for education, Alabama still places dead last among the states in local support for schools, and is near the bottom in perstudent spending. • For lack of funding, students in other states spend on average 65 days more in classes from Kindergarten through High School than do Alabama's students.7 • Alabama's teacher shortage could grow into a crisis by 2007 unless the state develops better ways to attract and retain teachers in competition with states like Georgia, which has higher salaries and signing bonuses. • Alabama's schoolchildren are more overweight than children in any other state. Without adequate number of physical education teachers that statistic is unlikely to change. • Alabama's pre-K funding for 2006 is less than $5,000,000 - compared to Georgia's $270,000,000, Florida's $400,000,000 and Tennessee's $25,000,000 - putting Alabama even farther behind in providing at-risk children the opportunity to learn basic skills early enough to affect the course of their lives. • Alabama lacks fund to provide the after-school programs that boost academic development and keep children safe. • Nearly 50% of Alabama's public school children qualify for federal free lunch programs. • Despite the fact that our rural communities desperately need primary care physicians, Alabama cannot afford to help finance medical educations for doctors willing to practice in low-income areas.

The 1901 Constitution continued the 1875 constitution’s precedent of limiting taxes so that essential services, especially education, would remain underfunded, guaranteeing that the planters would live rich and secure at the expense of a permanent poor class. “Those mighty men of 1901 wanted a state where the poor and powerless stayed poor and powerless, where the propertied and privileged stayed propertied and privileged, and where the majority in the middle helped keep it that way. That is what they wanted, and that is what they got. And that is what Alabama has.” Jackson, Id. at 303. In 2000, 16.1% of Alabamians were poor, by Federal estimates. Nearly 45% of female-headed households were in extreme poverty, living on income less than one-half the Federal Poverty Threshold. Twenty of Alabama’s 67 counties had poverty rates of 20% or more. Children under 18 and adults over 64 experienced the highest poverty rates. 2005 Kids Count Survey (Annie E. Casey Foundation). Tuscaloosa News, August 28, 2005.

• Alabama ranks third highest in the nation in infant mortality. • Nearly 1 million of Alabama's 4,500,000 citizens (22%) rely on Medicaid for their healthcare. Half of them are children. • Alabama lacks adequate care facilities for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. • On any given night, over 6,000 Alabama individuals, many of them children, are homeless. A state's ability to provide adequate and consistent government services depends on stable, predictable sources of revenues. Unlike most other states, over half of Alabama's revenues come from income and sales taxes, both of which fluctuate with the economy, causing the state to lurch from one financial crisis to another. Over 90% of our state's economic growth taxes are earmarked for specific uses, causing a perpetual funding crisis in Medicaid, public safety and other general fund agencies. Sales tax is the only major source of revenue not shielded by the Constitution; thus it continues to climb as costs of basic services soar. Fluctuating revenues and shortfalls result in annually changing eligibility requirements and health chaos for the poor. What we have in Alabama is the worst tax system that our unfair, antiquated constitution can inspire. That system also is one of the least adequate in providing services that Alabamians need.

Fact: Alabama's tax revenue per capita ranks 44th among the 50 states. If our tax rate per capita matched that of Georgia, we would take in an additional $2,000,000,000 (two billion dollars) to fund our schools, guard our prisons, repair our bridges, provide adequate health care to our citizens and protect and educate our children. Even if the “current use” tax scheme was adjusted, Alabama's state and local taxes would still be among the lowest in the nation.

Fact: Alabama's constitution forces the state's poorest citizens to pay a disproportionate share of their income in taxes:

• • • •

Alabama's working poor pay more income taxes than those in any other state. In Alabama, a family of four begins paying income tax at just $4,600 (a lower tax threshold than that of any other state). That number has not changed since 1968. The inflation-adjusted number would be $25,815. The wealthiest 1% of Alabamians pay about 4% of their income in state taxes; the poorest pay almost 11%. Alabama is the only state with an income tax threshold below half of the poverty line. Alabama is one of only a handful of states that imposes a sales tax on groceries, non-prescription drugs and other necessities. In Alabama, a family of four living at the federal poverty line pays as much as $500 in state income tax and as much as 12% sales tax on necessities like food and over the counter drugs. Since 1933, the state income tax exemption for a family of four has been set at $1500 per adult and $300 per dependent. In 1933, these levels worked to exclude everyone at poverty levels, and effectively meant that the working poor did not pay income taxes. Adjusted for inflation, these exemptions would be $22,534 and $4,507, respectively. Like so much else about this Constitution, those numbers remain the same 73 years later.

Fact: The Constitution of 1901 devastates the ability of Alabama's communities to engage in forward-thinking economic development, especially in an era when the future economy appears to be related to technology. Proponents of maintaining Alabama's anemic tax revenue structure argue that low taxes will bring industry to poor areas. But lower taxes will not bring a twenty-first century economy to Alabama: without a well-educated workforce, low taxes won't lure employers offering high paying jobs. An unhealthy, poorly-educated workforce will insure that the jobs that come to our state are low-paying manual labor jobs which perpetuate a state of low wages and poverty. While low taxes may have been a strong inducement for industry to settle in Alabama in the past, high-wage employers are also interested in a competent workforce, quality of life issues, good schools, and adequate infrastructure -- areas in which Alabama's relative poverty puts us significantly behind other states. Are we likely to attract the best companies and highest paying jobs when we do such a poor job of governing ourselves? When our workforce is ignorant, unhealthy and unprepared to participate in a technologically advanced economy? If we continue to produce a poorly educated - 389 -

populace lacking in technical training necessary to face the challenges of the 21st century, we will fall even farther behind.9

Fact: Alabama is no one's model of an efficiently run state. Governing magazine rated Alabama as “the worst state government of all, based upon financial management, information technology, performance-based operations, etc.” 10 The 1901 Constitution earmarks almost 90% of our tax revenue for specific pre-ordained spending,11 making it impossible for our legislators to make wise spending decisions when state coffers are empty; they cannot spend money where it is needed the most in the short term, and can't benefit from well-planned spending in the long term.

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture: Few biblical mandates are as clear as those to care for and nurture those in need. There are three essential mandates in the New Testament: Love God, love each other, and take care of the least among us. Alabamians practicing Christianity must demand that Alabama's taxes meet the moral standards of justice required by our faith. “The man who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it is a sinner.” James 4:17. Examples: • The Old Testament teaches that all persons are created in the image of God;12 therefore no person, regardless of his station in life, stands at a lesser level of importance than any other in the eyes of God. • Leviticus teaches that God forbids taking advantage of those in need: “When your brother Israelite is reduced to poverty and cannot support himself in the community, you shall assist him as you would an alien or a stranger, and he shall live with you. …You shall fear your God, and your brother shall live with you; you shall not deduct interest when advancing him money nor add interest to the payment due for food supplied on credit.” 13 • Amos teaches that to fail to treat the poor justly is a failure to honor God in our lives and profanes the name of God. 14 • The Psalmist tells us that God will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the rights of the poor. 15 • Proverbs tells us to open our mouths and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 16 • Christ summarizes the commandments of Jewish law: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Everything in the Law and the prophets hangs on these two commandments.” 17 • The author of Luke quotes Jesus as saying that “[t]he man with two shirts must share with him who has none, and anyone who has food must do the same.” 18 • Finally, Paul said to his followers: “I have shown you in every way by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'” 19 Tradition (Book of Discipline): The United Methodist Church Book of Discipline could hardly be more clear on the duty of the church to work to right economic wrongs and to exert a strong ethical influence on the state to enact just policies and programs: “We believe private ownership of property is a trusteeship under God, both in those societies where in it is encouraged and where it is discouraged, but is limited by the overriding needs of society. … We believe, therefore, governments have the responsibility, in the pursuit of justice and order under law, to provide procedures that protect the rights of the whole society as well as those of private ownership.” 20

“In spite of general affluence in the industrialized nations, the majority of persons in the world live in poverty. In order to provide basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, and other necessities, ways must be found to share more equitably the resources of the world. Increasing technology, when accompanied by exploitative economic practices, impoverishes many person and makes poverty self-perpetuating. Therefore, we do not hold poor people morally responsible for their economic state.21 To begin to alleviate poverty, we support such policies as: adequate income mainte9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

Even the argument that low taxes produce more manufacturing jobs proves false: since 2000 Alabama has lost over 41,000 manufacturing jobs. Governing, February 1999, p. 24.

The national average for earmarked funds is 28% Genesis 1:27 Leviticus 25:35-43 Amos 5:11-13 Psalm 140:12 Proverbs 31:9 Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:29; Romans 13:9-10; Matthew 25:31-46 Luke 3:11 Acts 20:35 Book of Discipline, ¶164.IV: THE ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (A) The First Social Creed of the Methodist Episcopal Church, circa 1908, stated that “[t]he Methodist Episcopal Church stands for ‘equal rights and complete justice for all men in all stations of life.’”

nance, quality education, decent housing, job training, meaningful employment opportunities, adequate medical and hospital care, and humanization and radical revisions of welfare programs.” 22 “…. We commit ourselves to … improvement of the quality of life, and to the rights and dignity of all persons. We believe in the right and duty of persons to work for the glory of God and the good of themselves and others and in the protection of their welfare in so doing, in the rights to property as a trust from God…; and in the elimination of economic and social distress.” 23 “The strength of a political system depends upon the full and willing participation of its citizens. The church should continually exert a strong ethical influence upon the state, supporting policies and programs deemed to be just and opposing policies and programs that are unjust.” 24 Experience: The Methodist Church in the United States has been involved in righting social injustices since its founding in this country in 1784. We have been active participants in the anti-slavery movement, the social gospel movement, and populism, and have worked to advocate and bring about workers' rights, civil rights, child labor laws, justice for farm workers and adoption of the Fair Labor Standards Act. To further our call to provide equal rights, equal opportunities and equal justice for all Alabamians in all stations of life is to follow in our own traditions. Replacing a tax structure overtly designed to produce a permanent underclass falls squarely within our tradition as Methodists. Reason: The goal of the framers of the 1901 Constitution was to fix as firmly as they could their economic mastery and domination of the state. In doing so, they yoked Alabama to a constitution that lowered property tax rates from levels that were already ridiculously inadequate to provide even the most rudimentary social services, particularly education. In fact, the drafters agreed that education ruined a good mill or field worker. As a result, Alabama's tax structure economically oppresses low-income Alabamians and fails to raise adequate revenues to care for and educate all of the citizens of the state. Alabama's constitutionally-imposed property tax structure unfairly fails to raise revenues adequate to care for the least of us, while necessarily high sales taxes and absurdly low income tax thresholds wreak even more havoc on our low income citizens. As a result, our tax structure fails to meet any reasonable definition of fairness and violates the principles of the Book of Discipline and the moral principles of Christian ethics. “Because all aspects of the property tax structure are hopelessly entrenched in the 1901 Constitution, real property tax reform is impossible without constitutional reform.” The 1901 Constitution is at the heart of Alabama's social problems, and nothing short of its total revision with respect to taxation will create the kind of change we must have in order to fund adequate schools for all, a more efficient government, decent services and local accountability. 26 Nor will anything short of such a revision satisfy the gospel's demands and the teachings of our church.

Conclusion and Statement of Petition: Both Scripture and the Book of Discipline require Christians to take a stand against economic oppression and injustice. The Book of Discipline states that “…we believe…governments have the responsibility, in the pursuit of justice and order under law, to provide procedures that protect the rights of the whole society as well as those of private ownership.”

The ethical principles taught by Jesus impose strong moral obligations, especially on those members of society enjoying high levels of material wealth, to value God more than material possessions and to help poor and marginalized people. As Christians and Methodists, we must advocate a citizens committee to rewrite Alabama's immoral constitution, and to replace it with a constitution that will provide a more equitable tax structure within the state. It is time for those of us who have been blessed with riches to demand Alabama's political leaders to reform our immoral, hedonistic

REPORTS

It is a clear principle of the Judeo-Christian tradition that the poorest and most vulnerable persons of the population should enjoy at least a minimum opportunity to improve their economic circumstances. It is the duty of Christians to follow Christ's exhortation (and that of the prophets) to treat all people fairly and justly, to care for them, to nurture and support them, to give them love and opportunity. It is immoral to prey upon the poor and defenseless. Our faith requires us to foster the minimum well-being of everyone in the community; a community which claims to be Christian cannot be driven solely by a goal of preserving the well-being and comfort of those with access to sufficient money, material possessions and power. We must, as Christians, work to replace a system designed to oppress the poor with a system that provides fair opportunity to all.

tax structure. Alabama must develop a rational and fair tax system for the benefit of all of its citizens -- including the least of them: “Next a word to you who have great possessions: Weep and wail over the miserable fate descending on you. Your riches have rotted; your fine clothes are moth-eaten; your silver and gold have rusted away, and their very rust will evidence against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have piled up wealth in an age that is near its close. The wages you never paid to the men who mowed your fields are loud against you, and the outcry of the reapers has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in wanton luxury, fattening yourselves like cattle -- and the day for slaughter has come.” James 5:1-6

Landlord — Tenant Relationship Protections Position Paper Title: Landlord - Tenant Relationship Protections

Statement of the Moral Issue: There is a moral need for the state of Alabama to provide protections to tenants and landlords under the law concerning descent, habitable housing and due process eviction.

Background/History: It is estimated that nearly 300,000 households in Alabama have no legal right to live in a safe and habitable property. There are no statutory provisions governing the return of rental deposits after the tenancy has been terminated. There are no statutory provisions against retaliatory eviction should tenants complain about the condition of their housing. Alabama is only one of two states that have modified common law landlord-tenant law. Tenants remain bound by the conditions of their lease whether or not landlords have fulfilled their obligations to keep the property in habitable condition. Although there are two statutory provisions in Alabama dealing with this area, these provisions only concern requirements for the eviction of tenants. These provisions are interpreted in different ways in different jurisdictions within the state. The major concerns of tenants (habitabililty, return of deposits, and retaliatory evictions) are presently covered if at all by agreement of the parties. The relative economic status of the parties makes it impossible for many tenants to bargain successfully for such concerns. The Alabama Law Institute undertook a study of landlord-tenant law in 200l. The Institute was created by the Legislature in l967. Its membership includes attorneys, judges, law faculty members of Cumberland and the University of Alabama Schools of Law, and lawyer members of the State Legislature. The Institute has provided the background and study and provided drafts for proposals in many areas of the law. The Institute members worked for over a year with representatives of landlords and tenants among its membership. A model act, entitled the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, was presented to the Legislature in 2002, and has been introduced in the Legislature every year since 2003. The bill has failed of passage because of the opposition of the Alabama Association of Realtors. The proposed act is modeled after the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in l972. This proposed act requires that the premises be habitable when leased and in compliance with applicable building and housing codes affecting health and safety, and that the landlord continue to maintain them in such condition during the period of the lease. Should the premises need repair and the landlord fail to make the necessary repairs, the tenant is authorized to make such repairs as are necessary and deduct the cost from the rent, up to the amount of one half month's rent. Strict guidelines control the return of deposits. The proposed act is comprehensive and fair. It provides a timetable for the eviction of non-paying or noncompliant tenants that is much more streamlined than existing statutory provisions.

REPORTS

There are at least two organizations that have been in the forefront of the battle for rights of tenants: the Arise Citizens Policy Project and the Alabama Appleseed Center for Law and Justice. However, their efforts to support the bill in the Legislature have fallen short because of the opposition of the Alabama Association of Realtors.

Wesleyan Quadrilateral Analysis: Scripture:

Jesus says, in Matthew 25: 45, :Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.” Tenants, those who cannot own property but rent their homes from property owners, are generally less fortunate and much less powerful than their landlords. In this relationship, they can be seen as “the least of these”, for they certainly do not possess the resources nor the influence of the landlords. If we are to follow Jesus as we claim to do, we must be willing to challenge, as he did, aspects of our society and laws that oppress unjustly some segment of

our civil body. The lack of protection for tenants in our state, which would require landlords to keep their property in good and safe condition, seems to impose unfair, unjust burdens on these tenants. Isaiah declares, in Chapter l0, “Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!” Most landlords treat their tenants fairly, but there continue to be those who exploit their less powerful tenants and block the passage of fair and just laws. Tradition:

Our Wesleyan tradition has always included reform of social injustice. The Church has worked and spoken for such issues as the end of slavery, women's rights and the end to racial injustices. We as Methodists have always proclaimed our aim to “walk in the footsteps of our Lord”, which means that the promoting of the Church's prophetic ministries must be foremost with us. In part, the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church stands opposed to any substandard housing being used as a dwelling place. Thus the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church affirms that action is required to protect tenants in Alabama. Of equal merit is the fact that Landlords should be able to evict non-paying tenants through due process. We are to involve ourselves in the public arena, speaking and working even as the prophets did, for fair and just policies for everybody. Experince:

Our past experiences in striving to fulfill our mission of service to people in need of our care and protection serves us well as we continue to work for justice in our social policies and political processes. As we become aware of laws or political processes that deal unfairly with some group among us, we have a long tradition of advocacy to encourage our risking involvement. {Check AL Arise for examples.} Reason:

Biblical teachings supply basic guidelines for how our lives should be lived, but history moves us forward and new moral questions continue to confront us. We must reason together as a Church body as different issues call the status quo into question. It is unreasonable that legal protections should not be afforded to both landlords and tenants in this state.

Conclusion and Statement of Position:

REPORTS

We United Methodists of the North Alabama Conference believe there should be equal protection of landlords and tenants under Alabama law. Tenants must be assured of premises which are safe, clean, and habitable. They must be assured a return of their deposits when the leases are terminated. They must be able to make repairs that are necessary for the habitability of the premises. Landlords should be afforded clear and quick methods for eviction for tenants' non-compliance with the terms of their leases. Legislation is badly needed, and we advocate passage of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act as presented by the Alabama Law Institute.

Cooperative Parishes Parish development is an intentional plan of enabling congregations, church-related agencies, and pastors in a defined geographic area to develop a relationship of trust and mutuality that results in coordinated church programs and ministry, supported by appropriate structure and policy. ¶2006.2, 2004 Book of Discipline

The North Alabama Conference's six cooperative parish directors work to strengthen the rural small membership churches in their parish by bonding them together to develop and implement programs and ministries that would be difficult or impossible alone. The cooperative parishes are taking risks and changing lives through a variety of ministries finding opportunities to serve, enable and equip people as the congregations experience and share God's love. Central Alabama Cooperative Parish - Rev. Jimmy Ray Nixon, Director Five congregations in the Coosa County area meet monthly to distribute food through the Food Day Program at Andrew's Chapel. This program has bonded the volunteers and recipients so the time has become a gathering of friends meeting together in the Spirit of Christ to worship, pray, and share joys and concerns. Several thousand people receive food from this program. The Eyeball Construction Crew, men from the parish ministry, work on needed repairs to family dwellings and build wheelchair ramps for area churches. Fayette County Cooperative Ministry - Rev. Carol Lambert, Director Eleven congregations in Fayette County give back to their community by building wheelchair ramps for private residents (15 ramps built in 2005 bringing the total ramps constructed since its inception in 1987 to over 100) and partnering with The Center of Christian Concerns, an interdenominational ministry, to provide food and payment of utilities for those in need. The parish’s New Hope Homes project builds affordable family housing. Currently, the parish partnered with Fayette's city and county governments in adopting the town of Wiggins, MS and its county located on the Gulf Coast aiding them in recovery from Hurricane Katrina. The parish has sent two volunteer groups on two separate occasions to help with debris removal and securing of damaged homes and churches. The parish provided the Disaster Response training required by UMCOR for these volunteers and others so that the parish now has a Disaster Response Team. Roanoke Cooperative Parish - Rev. Hollis Boykin, Director Six congregations in the Roanoke area join together to feed the hungry through its East Alabama Food Bank. The parish has also organized worship services and started a Methodist Men's program, a United Methodist Women's program and youth ministries.

REPORTS

Upper Sand Mountain Parish - Rev. Dorsey Walker, Director Ten congregations in northeast Appalachian Alabama gathered for leadership training and combined contemporary worship; Hispanic worship; Children's activities and language studies (English and conversational Spanish); and Community Service Workshops (i.e. solar construction, home ownership, identity theft protection, tax reform). Volunteers provided outreach Children's ministries in trailer parks and housing during the summer; family emergency care to thousands of families; and built Heart and Hand Houses (over 44 completed to date). The three Better Way Shoppes employed 12 people and provided preserves and specialty products from the cannery and gleaning project. Gardens of Plenty served hundreds of families. Over 250 youth participated on mission service teams working on home repair, gleaning or in the cannery. The parish also provided toy stores at Christmas; two health fairs and parish nursing; computer labs, and job training. In 2004 a new Ministry Center was dedicated in Sylvania. Wadley Cooperative Parish - Rev. Abigail Carlisle-Wilke, Director Ten congregations in a four county area continue its foodbank and outreach ministries to the communities. Mt. Gilead UMC continues its food bank/clothing closet begun in 2004. A training program coordinated with existing employment centers helps people reenter the job market. There are Children and Youth Ministries in the summer under the leadership of its own Director made possible by grant monies which also made possible an Igniting Ministries project that increases parish visibility and evangelism. - 396 -

REPORTS

West Alabama Cooperative Ministry - Rev. Sandra Knedlik, Director Eight congregations in southern Lamar County and northern Pickens County partner with Project Hope, an interdenominational ministry to provide new clothes and school supplies for children in south Lamar. The parish provided families funds after loss or damage to house due to catastrophic disaster; participated in Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research; built wheelchair ramps, put up rails and small repairs through its Labor of Love program. The new food pantry begun in 2004 is serving many families.

The Commission on the Status and Role of Women (COSROW) is charged with “challenging The United Methodist Church, including its general agencies, institutions and connectional structures, to a continuing commitment to the full and equal responsibility and participation of women in the total life and mission of the Church, sharing fully in the power and in the policy-making at all levels of the Church's life.” (¶2102 The 1996 Book of Discipline) One way that the North Alabama Conference strives to accomplish this charge is by awarding the Louise Branscomb Barrier Breaker Award and thereby supporting and encouraging a spirit of risk-taking across lines of race and gender throughout our Conference. The intent of this award is to honor someone who has shown through their walk and through their talk that they are willing to take risks and to stand up for the rights of women and ethnic minority persons. This past year we held a celebration breakfast at Enon United Methodist, in conjunction with the rest of the Prophetic Ministries team, in honor of all the strides that have been made in the past year to take life-changing risks and to break down barriers. Rev. Robert Montgomery of Greater Birmingham Ministries was our speaker. He thanked us for the work that had been done in the cause of justice and challenged us to continue the struggle. At this breakfast, we recognized a special honored nominee and named the winner of the Louise Branscomb Barrier Breaker Award. Elise Moss Simmons, who died this past year, was named as an honored nominee for her great strides in the path of justice. She sought to establish shelters for the abused and battered, to provide food and livelihood for the needy, assistance to the sick and infirmed and spiritual awareness and moral development to the people of the church. Elise has left a great legacy in the area of justice for women and minorities to which we all aspire. Rev. Doreen M. Duley was named as the winner of the 2006 Louise Branscomb Barrier Breaker Award. Rev. Duley is a clergy member of the North Alabama Conference serving as the Manager of Pastoral Care at the Children's Hospital of Alabama. For many years, in several capacities, she has been a tireless advocate for the rights of all people especially for women and children. She has served on all levels of the North Alabama Conference. She is currently a Board member of P.E.E.R. a community development organization in East Lake. She also currently serves as the Chairperson of the Board of the United Methodist Children's Home. In all that she does Rev. Duley seeks to insure that all people have the opportunity to live to their fullest potential. Both of these women inspire us all in the task that God has given all of us to serve the last, the least and the lost.

Disability Ministries We believe that Jesus set the example for us in His earthly ministry when He, repeatedly, ministered to those with disabilities. Jesus did not shy away from persons with disabilities because they were “diseased” or “different.” Instead, He met them where they were and met not only their physical needs, but their spiritual needs as well. It is hard for us to understand how Disability Ministry can be anything other than a top-priority for Christian churches. Last year, we called on the Annual Conference to do as the Discipline requires and set a date for an annual Disability Awareness Sunday to be held in all NAC churches. You did this and honored our request to make the designated time not a particular Sunday, but a particular season - the Fall of each year. Unfortunately, from what we have heard, not many of our churches had a Disability Awareness Sunday last year. For this reason, we request that the following be approved at this year's Annual Conference: (1) That the Fall of the year again be designated as the time in which each local United Methodist Church in this great conference must have a Disability Awareness Sunday (note: members of the Conference team will be available for consultation and/or to bring the message for churches that ask); (2) That each church be required to notify our convener, Debbie Wade, before February 1, 2007, and give the date of the church's Disability Awareness Sunday (note: all churches meeting this requirement will be awarded a certificate); (3) That each district (after re-districting lines are determined) be required to hold a Disability Awareness Workshop, led by the NAC Disability Ministry team; and (4) That the current Decatur District Disability Manual be expanded for use by the entire conference by June 2007 (note: churches will be asked to submit local telephone numbers for agencies in their district and, after the manual is updated, will be given the opportunity to purchase copies). It is our desire to take the $1000.00 to $1200.00 budget we hope to be given and to give away four mini-grants of $250.00 each to local churches needing to build ramps, order special Sunday School materials for those with Disabilities, etc. This will be awarded based on need. Churches will have until October 1st to apply for the current calendar year's grants. Remember: as Christians we are to strive to be like Him! We cannot even attempt this without the Holy Spirit and a desire to help all of God's Children be able to worship in our churches!

Dream Garden, Inc. Dream Garden, Inc. is a ministry of Restoration United Methodist Church Mission. The program serves children and youth ages 5 through 17 years, by providing homework assistance, tutoring in reading as well as other subjects and recreational activities while simultaneously building character through conflict resolution interaction and positive behavior modification activities.

Ethnic Ministries Local Church Ethnic Ministries Local Church (EMLC) proposes to assist local churches with "seed grants" for planning and developing ministries and projects to help equip and empower local churches with readiness skills for leading people to Christ. Primarily these grants have been used to help develop ministries and programs for improving the ability of local church members to develop community based and outreach ministries to take the influence of the local church outside the four walls of a building and beyond Sunday Mornings and sometimes Wednesday Nights Worship Services. This task has been approached at the conference and districts levels by sponsoring workshops, seminars, and sessions focusing on skills enhancement in some of the many areas that are significant to church growth and development. The United Methodist Church has made tremendous strides in the world of telecommunications. The ethnic minority local church has not nearly kept pace with progress that has been made in this vitally important area that has become the primary medium for our link to the global world of today. Our local minority churches were already lagging behind when the digital age was born.

The Digital Gap Traditionally, our notion of being connected to the nation's communications networks has meant having a telephone. Today, American's increased use of computers and the Internet has changed that notion. The United Methodist Church operates hugely from a well defined "connectional system" concept and framework. To be connected today increasingly means to have access to telephones, computers, and the Internet. While these items may not be necessary for survival, arguably in today's emerging digital economy they are necessary for success. Approximately two-thirds of households with PCs or Web TVs have Internet access. Those households that do not have Internet access cite “cost” or the fact that they “don't want it” as leading reasons for never having used the internet. Cost is also the leading reason for discontinuing Internet use. Without connectivity or access to technology, another risk factor is added to the list of others that the disadvantaged are faced with on a daily basis. Lack of access widens the gap between the rich and poor, and the educated and undereducated. Those who can afford or have the level of access demanded by today's global economy and community will always be ahead of the game.

A grant to help local churches become involved in the conference's Natural Church Development initiative will help make it possible for all our ethnic minority local churches to become involved in learning and utilizing the latest methods and practices that are being used in developing local congregations.

Evangelism Report Number 1

A motivational speaker once said there are two kinds of people in this world: those who say “whatever” and those who say, “whatever it takes.” “Whatever” is the response of the shrug. It's a “who cares?” attitude, one of indifference and apathy. “Whatever it takes” is the response of the committed. It's a “can do” attitude that refuses to give up or give in. Think about those two responses when it comes to the Church's mission. Jesus said to love your neighbor. Whatever. Jesus said to go and make disciples of all people. Whatever. Jesus said there is more rejoicing over one sinner who is found than 99 that stayed within the fold. Whatever. Now, let's change that response to “Whatever it takes.” Jesus said to love your neighbor. Whatever it takes. Jesus said to go and make disciples of all people. Whatever it takes. Jesus said there is more rejoicing over one sinner who is found than 99 that stayed within the fold. Whatever it takes. May that be our mantra in everything we are and everything we do as an Annual Conference. May we be willing to do whatever it takes to win the world to Christ.

Glen Addie Community Church Glen Addie Community Church experienced an effective year in 2005. We served approximately 15 adults and children in our on-going health education and physical life style change program as well as provided needed academic, GED, and literacy support through our Learning Center. Our summer was quite busy with camps and vacation bible schools at Camp Sumatanga and local area churches. We continued to serve breakfast to at least 30 children and adults each Sunday morning provided by United Methodist congregations, Sunday school and an average of 40 persons in worship. In September, we hosted an appreciation service where Bishop Willimon gave a powerful message on giving thanks to God through service. This worship service was held to give thanks to the many churches, agencies, individuals, etc. who have served this mission congregation and community. Glen Addie was blessed with the privilege to host the ecumenical Thanksgiving service in November, sponsored by Interfaith Ministries. All faiths in Calhoun County were invited to worship together in praise, thanksgiving and fellowship. We are thankful to have been a part of changing lives in this community and moving toward wholeness through God's grace and unconditional love. Rev. Helen Shelley Willoughby, Pastor Rev. Treasure B.

Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry Kenneth A. Dunivant, Chair

Many students struggle with the life purpose issues during their college years. What am I to do with my life? Through the presence of the Wesley Foundations and our Untied Methodist Colleges, we are challenging students to add a theological dimension that search. What does God want me to do with my life? This ministry is essential for our conference. Birmingham-Southern College and Huntingdon College are appreciative of the support they receive from the North Alabama Conference. Over the past two years, we have given over $2.5 million to Birmingham-Southern College and over $500,000 to Huntingdon College. This makes our conference among the leading donors to our schools. The fact does not go unnoticed by our colleges. The Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry thanks the conference for the sustained support the colleges received at last year's Annual Conference session. Students are critical to both Birmingham-Southern College and Huntingdon College. You can support the colleges by encouraging students to consider one of our colleges. While they are not for every student, for some students they are the right college. By sending a list of the high school students from your church to the colleges, you help with recruitment. You can also help by putting scholarship moneys in your budget which will be matched by the colleges. Churches can host a Birmingham-Southern College Day and a Huntingdon College Day to highlight our historic relationship. Campus ministers extend the ministry of the local church to nine campuses across North Alabama. They are a part of your extended church staff. (Imagine how impressed you congregation would be to see all our campus ministers listed as a part of your church staff!) They reach out to the students on campus. They make a special effort to reach United Methodist students. They need your help. Send them the names of your students on their campus. Your students may choose not to be involved, but at least the students will receive a personal contact from our campus ministers.

REPORTS

Campus ministries must have local church support. The operational needs of each foundation are greater that the conference can bear. Churches near a campus ministry are encouraged to financially support that ministry. Direct partnership must be built and maintained for us to be the powerful presence for Christ we want to be. Contact the campus ministry near you and see how you can help.

Report Number 1 The Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry recommends approval to spend up to $14,000 from the Step Forward Campaign Funds to assist with repairs of roof and sewer at the University of North Alabama Wesley Foundation. (Conference policy requires Annual Conference approval of any request that would use the principal in the Step Forward Campaign Funds. This fund is designated to assist with emergency capital cost on the properties of our Wesley Foundations.)

Report Number 2 The Board voted to request the apportionment of Birmingham Southern College and Huntingdon College requests as a single line item under the name “Birmingham-Southern and Huntingdon College Student Scholarship Fund.” This action accomplishes two goals: 1. All funds are designated for student scholarships. 2. Our covenant relationship with the Alabama-West Florida Conference continues to be honored by sending the first $50,000 to Huntingdon College. The Alabama-West Florida Conference sends their first $50,000 to Birmingham-Southern College. This action continues the broad-based support of our institutions.

Other Information The General Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry awarded the first Allan Burry Scholarship to Lori Mosakowski, president of the University of Alabama Wesley Foundation. Kori was recognized for her outstanding student leadership and for her representation of the United Methodist Church on the college campus. The General Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry presented a gift of $20,000 to Birmingham-Southern College to support the work of the college towards restitution and reconciliation in the wake of church fires. Over $350,000 has been received toward this project.

REPORTS

The General Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry affirms our conference's historic support of Birmingham-Southern College and Huntingdon College. Not only are these colleges providing value-based liberal arts education, they are training future leaders for the church. They are also having impact upon a generation we desire to claim for Christ and the church. As we seek to launch an aggressive new church program, we must simultaneously invest in the growth of leaders for these new churches. Kenneth A. Dunivant Chair

Methodist Homes for the Aging Report to the Annual Conference North Alabama Conference United Methodist Church

Have you heard the catch phrases “Successful Aging,” “Meaningful Living,” “Baby Boomers,” and “Aging Gracefully?” Have you seen how much attention lately has been given to the issues of “Nutrition for Older Adults,” “Exercising/Healthy Lifestyles,” “Medicare Part 'D',” and “Medicare Part 'E'?” At our Methodist Homes, we continually address these real issues on a daily basis. Whether residents live in the apartments, on an Alzheimer Care wing, or somewhere in between, or even if they are within the final days of their lives, our goals are the same: improving quality of life, offering opportunities for “living” and not just “existing,” and enabling those with limitations to continue to participate in the world around them. Our country, our world struggles with the words of Browning when he writes “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.” Individuals often fear or even dread the idea of growing older. Many even go to the extent of denying it. Our society embraces youth and often pokes fun at getting or being old. Aging is not something to deny or fight, but to accept as a gift and a blessing. At Methodist Homes we look at 'aging' not as just a truism but as an opportunity to help, to care, to love and to serve individuals in the aging process. We see our mission as one of bringing together resources that will enhance individuals' acceptance that if their health is good life can be enjoyed and if their health is poor there is support and care to meet their needs. Our homes across Alabama and Northwest Florida are committed to serving each person who reaches out to us in their aging years. Each home has a distinct character. In Decatur, Anniston and Selma our residents live in apartments and receive rent subsidy from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Also in Decatur and Anniston, as well as in Pensacola, other residents are provided affordable housing apartments. In Montgomery our residents enjoy assisted living apartments as well as The Paul and Louise Duffey Senior Care Center which provides care for persons with mild cognitive difficulties. In Panama City we provide apartments and an assisted living wing. In Birmingham and in Dothan we have a program of continuing care with apartments, assisted living, special care assisted living (in Dothan this wing has been named The Sanders Wing), skilled nursing and Alzheimer units. Our Birmingham location also offers garden homes.

There is another real issue we deal with on a daily basis but about which there is no modern catch phrase. It is the real issue of meeting the financial needs of those who are living longer and depleting their resources. In both Conferences the dollar amount of our uncompensated care continues to climb - now well past $8 million since our ministry began. It is essential that our churches help us address this matter by supporting the “Fountain of Love” Fund that provides financial support for our residents who are unable to pay for their care. Our ability to continue to care for these residents depends on all of our churches in both Conferences we serve setting a day to share the story of Methodist Homes and receive an offering to help us care for persons who look to us for help in their aging years. We are grateful for the opportunity of serving those who now call our facilities home and for the privilege of planning for those to come in the future. Please continue to pray for us as we address some of the needs summarized by

Huntingdon College North Alabama Conference Annual Report 2006

As a college of the United Methodist Church, Huntingdon sees itself in service to the priorities and goals of the Annual Conference. As an extension ministry of the church, Huntingdon seeks to provide high quality academics in a culture of faith. It is our role to prepare disciples by broadening their minds and expanding their hearts. Huntingdon College was established by The United Methodist Church to be about the sacred work of higher education within the context of developing the whole person for service to the whole world. This is beautifully expressed in our motto; Enter to grow in wisdom; Go forth to apply wisdom in service.@ It is our goal to empower a new generation of leadership for both church and society. At Huntingdon, Students are confronted with the simple but profound and ultimate question, “What has God called me to do with my life?” Over the past three years the college has focused on fulfilling our promise as a United Methodist Institution of Higher Education. A number of initiatives have been born out of Huntingdon's desire to realign its mission to be of service to the mission of the church. These include:

• • •

• • • •

A change to the core curriculum, requiring all students to take 12 hours of Bible courses. Students have an opportunity to become Biblically literate and critically reflect. For many the Bible will become a more familiar and conversant friend. Hiring a fulltime Campus Minister in addition to a director of Church Relations. This allows of a full compliment of spiritual life programs and a strong pastoral presence. Providing “Cross and Flame” half-tuition grants to all active United Methodist Youth. This fall over sixty entering United Methodist students received this grant. Reestablishing the Religion major with an emphasis on preministerial preparation. We are seeing a dramatic rise in the number of students in, and preparing for seminary. Five Huntingdon graduates are in Seminary, with at least nine making plans to attend. Establishing the Stegall and Mathison Fellowships, which provide two-thirds scholarships for three promising students who feel called to a ministry vocation. Beginning a center for Career and Vocation. The Director David Milford has a graduate degree in Bible and in Career Counseling. Huntingdon is now piloting a new approach to the integration of service and learning. It is our dream to make service a seamless piece of the academic program. Huntingdon continues in the process of establishing The Bishop Paul Duffey Institute for Church Leadership. This Institute will be an enduring legacy to one of the finest leaders in the history of Methodism. It will be a permanent and influential force in the local church and on the campus of Huntingdon College.

In the past, Huntingdon has been a ground of preparation for lay and clergy leadership. Our alumni are serving with distinction as Clergy and Lay leaders in The Alabama West Florida Conference as well as The North Alabama Conference. The renewal of our historic mission will guarantee strong leadership in the future. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Dr. Mark La Branche Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Church Relations

Missionary Reports John Elmore North Alabama Missionary in Chile

My ministry over the last three years was building Parsonages and Churches from La Serena to Puerto Montt Chile. I have purchased with the help of many of my covenant Churches help, a Van that helps me transport my tools from site to site. The benefit of this is that Volunteer teams don´t need to bring any tools with them. It enables me to have everything the teams need when they arrive to work . In three years we built five Parsonages and three Churches. In May of 2005, the Board of directors of the Methodist Church of Chile, voted my return to Chile for three more years. They also decided that I will be located in the North of Chile. This covers the first and second region of Chile, roughly eight hundred square miles. This is good news for me. The most important thing is that my home is in Iquique, and this is in Region one, this means I will be home a lot more with my wife, which in the last three years, I was gone a lot. I have lived in Iquique for Nine years. After I received my new place of assignment, I started working in Iquique organizing my work for the next three years, I met with the Superintendent, and we decided upon three projects to promote . The first is to Build The Second Methodist Church in Iquique. The second project is to finish building a Church in a small desert town of Hurra ( wha-ra) The third project is to finish the Education Center I started three years in Arica Chile. There have been a lot of changes in the Methodist Church over this past year. The Methodist Church has gone from being a private institution to a Public . This means that hopefully we will be able to have access to a lot more help from the government. In January 2006 , they elected a new Bishop. Also in January I have a new District Superintendent, whom I have been in communication with, concerning my work over the next three years. This weekend , the 4th and 5th of March we will be having our first District meeting with the new Bishop, new Superintendent. and new Pastors. It should be an exciting time. Over the next year 2006, I have five work teams lined up between june and December.They will all be working on the 2nd Church in Iquqiue.

The year 2005 brought new challenges and provided opportunities for personal and professional growth. My responsibilities included providing pastoral leadership of two churches, serving as district youth advisor, and coordinating our Volunteer in Mission Program. I continued as pastor of La Resurrection Church, but I assumed additional pastoral duties at the Pedregal church. It has been exciting to get to work with a whole new congregation, though it has required adjustments

As district youth advisor I have accompanied the youth leadership team in the planning and carrying out of their activities. We are in the process of organizing a national organization. It has been both a privilege and a challenge to work with this group of young people, most of whom have recently competed a year long training course to be lay preachers. As coordinator of our Volunteers in Missions Program, I coordinated twelve teams during the course of the year. With all teams I handled the logistics (selection of dates and projects, arrangements for lodging, transportation, food services, translators, permits, medical clearances, construction plans, materials, workers, etc.). I also accompanied about half of the teams in the mission itself. For many years I have represented the Religious Sector in the Panamanian Health Ministry's efforts to combat the AIDS epidemic in Panama. This year I participated in a week long training session to apply a system of monitoring and evaluating the programs to fight AIDS and other STIs. With this training, we were able to rework the strategic goals and corresponding programs to make them more effective.

Kay Twilley North Alabama Missionary in Bolivia

Bolivia is a very poor country, but it is extremely rich in its heritage and faith. Bolivia consists of two main indigenous groups-Quechua and Aymara. I work in Montero, Bolivia where the majority of the people are Quechua. The Methodist church works with the poorest children of the area through a program called Hasta Crecer. Through this program these poor children are given the chance to break the cycle of poverty by getting at least a high school education, by learning social and hygiene skills, and being given the opportunity to learn job skills that will help them contribute to their family budget, as well as have the self esteem to aspire to greater things. All of this is provided in a caring, Christian setting. In addition to working side by side with the Hasta Crecer Center, I also recruit and coordinate volunteer teams that come to the Montero area. We have teaching teams that work along side the Bolivian teachers in the American Institute in Montero; we have medical and eye teams that come to work in the hospital and also the countryside, seeing patients that cannot come into Montero. We have construction teams that help build needed projects in local Methodist churches, as well as the Methodist schools in the area. The Methodist Church will celebrate 100 years of existence in Bolivia in 2006. We are very proud of this history and I am excited to be a part of such an historic landmark in my adopted country.

This has been an exciting year for P.E.E.R.. We have continued to offer our effective programs in the East Lake community: • • • • • • •

VITA tax - a free tax preparation service sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service Carraway Fitness - an exercise program for seniors Food, Fun and Fellowship - a free weekly meal for seniors Weight Watchers a Community Health and Resource Fair - an event each spring offering free screenings, information and education for a variety of ages and needs. Inner-city Immersion - a volunteer program with students from various colleges fulfilling their service learning requirements in agencies and churches in this neighborhood Success-By-6 - a United Way program with the 4 year old students at East Lake United Methodist Church's daycare that provides a social worker and reading readiness curriculum

This year we started the East Lake Farmer's Market in the summer which was a tremendous success. Area farmers provided fresh produce and we also had music, pastries and cooking demonstrations. This proved to be not only to be a fun event, but also provided vital educational information on nutrition. The market was an approved site for Senior Nutrition Coupons which enables income eligible seniors to receive fresh produce for free. As a direct result of the Farmer's Market, P.E.E.R. is sponsoring and subsidizing a Diabetic Cooking School and will soon break ground on a community garden. The garden will serve as an educational and empowering tool for all ages in the community. Producers from the garden can grow their produce as well as sponsor a booth at the Farmer's Market. P.E.E.R. has two brand new initiatives this year. One is a community business forum. In these meetings, business and other community leaders will gather to discuss ways to stabilize and improve the economic development in the East Lake area. Our first project will be to launch a promotional campaign on the positive and growing aspects of our neighborhood. Our other initiative is a parent training class that is sponsored by Alabama Public Television and is led by members of our community. These classes will not only provide valuable information for parents in the area, but will also provide leadership training and empowerment for those teaching the class.

All of our programs are made possible by the work of our partners, the generosity of the Beeson Foundation and the United Methodist Church through Ethnic Ministries and Servant's Like Jesus, and from individual contributions. Together we can empower and enrich this community.

East Lake United Methodist is the host church for all of the current programs of P.E.E.R., Inc. P.E.E.R. has been a great model for how an aging congregation can more effectively be in ministry to the neighborhood that surrounds it.

Religion and Race Team In Galatians 3, the Apostle Paul reminds the church that all are one in Christ Jesus. However, the 11 am Sunday morning worship hour remains the most segregated hour of the entire American week. People who work alongside one another day in and day out do not worship their Creator together. Instead, they flock to houses of worship with their "own kind." Although there are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of the largest reasons may be a lack of understanding and appreciation for one another. Therefore, the Race and Religion team of the NAC has set a plan in motion whereby we may gain a greater understanding and appreciation of one another. It is our prayer that our plans will lead to a new day across the NAC where people of all races will feel welcome and will be given the freedom to enjoy full participation in our churches. This plan involves the sending out of the book The Church Enslaved: A Spirituality of Racial Reconciliation by Tony Campolo and Michael Battle (Fortress Press, 2005) to those pastors and lay leaders who wish to receive it. This book addresses the issue of racial division and offers honest and forthright ways to deal with this sensitive issue. Next, we will be opening a discussion forum over the conference website as well as making other avenues for discussion available. Finally, we have contacted Dr. Campolo and have invited him, along with our bishop, to hold a workshop on the issue, which will be held in early spring of 2007. Furthermore, we will be working with Mr. David Palmer, leader of the lay speaking ministries of the NAC who is working to hold sensitivity training, as part of the lay speaking classes. It is our hope that this program can spill over into all avenues through which leaders come into our church such as the course of study, licensing school, etc. Our mission is to educate clergy and laity concerning this issue; to challenge us to be honest as to our current status in race relations within the church and to prepare us for the day when God's kingdom will be fully realized here on earth.

Restorative Justice Team Over the past year, the Restorative Justice Team has been busily at work on its two restoration programs within the Birmingham and Jefferson County Court systems. In cooperation with Judge Raymond Chambliss, who presides over the Jefferson County Municipal Court, the restorative justice program at Church of the Reconciler helps homeless persons re-enter community life through removal of fines owed and warrants held against them through community service. Participants in the program must sign a notarized form that gives the municipal court authority to run background checks. If the participant has no other obligation to any other criminal justice system, the municipal court may select them as a candidate for the program. If selected as a candidate, Judge Chambliss sets a court date to prescribe the community service required for their special situation. The community service is carried out at the Church of the Reconciler. To date 35 out of a total of 75 candidates have successfully completed the program. Mr. Grant Hyatt, a volunteer at Church of the Reconciler and a Notary Public, serves as the volunteer administrator. A proposed victim/offender mediation program for youthful offenders will soon become a reality within the Birmingham Family Court. Judge Brian Huff, presiding magistrate, is working in partnership with the Restorative Justice Team to provide training and implementation of this innovative alternative to incarceration of youthful offenders. Mediation allows offenders and their victims an opportunity to meet and talk about the offense and determine restitution if appropriate. Judge Huff and his staff will work in cooperation with trained volunteer facilitators to select participants. Participation in the program is voluntary. Ms. Lucia Penland, director of Alabama Prison Project will provide training for court staff and facilitators.

Servants Like Jesus welcomes a new Disaster Response Coordinator, Mr. Steve Kilgore, to the team. Steve has been busy following up with the numerous Early Response Teams from the North Alabama Conference that have made their way to the Gulf Coast to offer assistance. The recovery effort from Hurricane Kartrina will continue for months and possibly years to come. A highlight from this past year's work was the three hundred clergy that gathered along the coast in response to Bishop Willimon's plea to aid the victims of the disaster. The Servants Like Jesus team offered direct mission support through the grant process during the budget year 2005. We focused our efforts on projects related to the Conference vision of Every Church Challenged and Equipped to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ by Taking Risks and Changing Lives. The resulting "grant application process" enabled us to undergird those mission efforts that are effectively empowering local churches to reach out to their communities and the world to make disciples. Existing ministries as well as new and emerging ministries managed by local churches, mission agencies and mission teams were asked to apply for funding within specific mission areas. This allowed us to provide "seed" money for new ministries and "growth" money for current ministries that fit the Conference vision. We were especially interested in those projects that requested a “matching grant” from the conference. In such circumstances, a local church and the conference share the costs to start a vital mission ministry. We organize funding according to the following areas: Mission Education and Communication, Mission and Ministry Development in the Cooperative Parish and the Local Church, Community Ministries and Mission Congregations. As outlined by the Conference vision, guidelines are that all ministries should focus on (1) making disciples and changing lives; (2) enabling local churches to do ministry; and (3) promoting hands-on ministry. Numerous outreach ministries, both of local churches and Conference-related programs (including Advance Special agencies), applied for grants. Funding was allocated based on matching the ministry's goals and accomplishments with these guidelines.

United Methodist Center for Senior Citizens Urban Ministry Zion Methodist Church India with Highlands UMC in Birmingham The grant application process for 2007 should follow the same format, unless budgetary restrictions require it to be modified. There are three steps: (1) applications are due on December 10, 2006; (2) project leaders might be asked to make a brief verbal presentation to the Mission Resource Team if the application is unclear; and (3) after consideration of the proposals, grants will be announced and the disbursement of funds will begin. On average, grants range from $500 to $5,000 per project. For a grant application or more information, please contact Rev. Patrick Friday, Director of Servant Ministries, at 205/226-7955, or email: [email protected].

Society of St. Andrew Alabama Gleaning Network

With 15.2% of the Alabama population living in poverty, United Methodists in North Alabama are truly making a difference in the lives of hungry people. Through the Change the World program, over 1.1 million pounds of food was distributed to the food insecure in Alabama from 2001 to 2004. With the opening of a full-time regional office nearly 860,000 pounds of food were distributed to those in need in just 2005! Thanks to the Change the World program and a generous grant from the UPS Foundation, Society of St. Andrew established a Regional Office in Birmingham in January 2005. In June 2005, the Society of St. Andrew-Alabama Gleaning Network became a Conference Advance Special. Many churches in the North Alabama Conference continue to faithfully collect their change for the “Your Change Can Change the World” program. Rev. Rachel Radeline Gonia (Director) and Mrs. Laura Guffin (Program Coordinator) staff the Birmingham office. Building on the previous efforts, The Alabama Gleaning Network now extends across the state with 36 farmers providing fresh fruits and vegetables for the tables of hungry people. The programs of Society of St. Andrew resulted in over 2.5 million servings of food distributed to agencies from Mobile to Scottsboro. Volunteers gathered crops as diverse as blueberries, peaches, peas, tomatoes, yellow squash, muscadines, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, figs and greens from fields and orchards. After a series of hurricanes hit the Gulf coast, SoSA made fresh apples, watermelon, cantaloupe, and sweet potatoes available to residents and evacuees throughout the affected areas. In 2005, one hundred ten churches in the North Alabama Conference contributed to a total of $39,645.56 to SoSA-AL. Many churches must be commended for their extraordinary contributions. First United Methodist Church of Jasper contributed the largest amount with $6,955.12. This was followed Leeds First with $2,292. Jacksonville First, Alexander City First, Carpenter (Anniston District) and Snead First all contributed more than $1,000 each. When the total amount given by a church is divided by the membership, the resulting number is the average per member giving. For the third straight year, Glenn Hills led in this with an average of $33. The other churches in the top of this category were Mt. Era, Acmar, Center Hill (Sylacauga), Shiloh (Calera). All of these churches have less than 50 members but gave an average of $10.60 or more per member. Society of St. Andrew felt deeply the loss of two volunteers who were dedicated to feeding hungry people in North Alabama and helped to firmly establish the “Change the World” program. Sam Abston, a member of Helena UMC and the Sylacauga District Lay Leader and James Ferrell, a member of First Jasper and the Jasper District Change the World Coordinator, both passed away in 2005. The amount contributed by First UMC, Jasper to SoSA in 2005 is a witness to Mr. Ferrell's faithfulness and commitment to feeding hungry people. Many of the donations for SoSA to the church were received as memorial contributions for Jim. The total given by First UMC, Jasper of nearly $7,000 far exceeds what has ever been given by one church in one year in the North Alabama Conference.

REPORTS

Faithful United Methodists of the North Alabama Conference are continuing to Change the World by collecting their change in support of the hunger ministries of Society of St. Andrew. With over 660,000 Alabama residents living in poverty, this is making a difference in the lives of the lives of persons living in the 12.5% of the households that are food insecure in Alabama.

The Southeastern Jurisdiction Connectional Table The SEJ Connectional Table, under the leadership of Bishop Charlene Kammerer, continues to give leadership and set direction for the ministry of the Southeastern Jurisdiction. An organizational task group and a task group to study the relationship of SEJ Agencies is studying the entire organization of the jurisdiction at the direction of the 2004 Jurisdictional Conference. They continue their work to make our unique jurisdiction more effective. The entire jurisdiction was saddened with the complete destruction of Gulfside Assembly located in Waveland, Mississippi, one of our seven agencies, as the result of Hurricane Katrina. The Gulfside Board of Trustees has named a long-range study group to look to the future in order to determine how they might serve the needs of the United Methodist Church at this renowned historical African-American mission center. The Southeastern Jurisdiction Ministries for Adult Rehabilitation (SEMAR) worked through a number of challenges this past year in order to reclaim its mission and vision for the future. The SEJ Connectional Table and SEMAR celebrate a partnership with the Western North Carolina Conference through Givens Estates, Inc., in Asheville. Givens has agreed to be the lead partner in a senior adult housing project located at Lake Junaluska. We continue to celebrate the ministries of the remaining five agencies of the jurisdiction: Hinton Rural Life Center, Intentional Growth Center, Archives and History, Southeastern Jurisdictional Native American Ministries and UM Volunteers in Mission. They each offer their focused ministries with annual conferences and local churches. All seven agencies of the SEJ fall under the total ministry of the jurisdiction. Ministry within the SEJ continues to expand and grow. The focus of the SEJ Ministry Team for this quadrennium is Cultivating Spiritual Leaders. Events and resources are aligning to this end as we take seriously the vision of making disciple-makers and connecting the jurisdiction through networking opportunities. Staff leaders are working to discern needs of the jurisdiction with a focus on adults, youth and young adults, laity, clergy and ethnic constituencies. At this writing, a new staff position focusing on strengthening the African-American churches of our jurisdiction is in process. Our staff is committed to moving into the future with careful planning and evaluation of existing resources. The Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center had 97,000 guest nights in 2005, down from the previous year. We are proud that 55% of those served are United Methodist. We have an extensive marketing program to tell the story and mission of Lake Junaluska and the jurisdiction. We have just completed renovation of an additional 50 rooms at the Terrace Hotel, which completes the renovation. The Harrell Center auditorium was recently recarpeted, the hallways and restrooms rejuvenated. Inspiration Point, located at the west end of Lambuth Inn, is complete and will receive a life-size statue of Christ this spring adding another significant place for reflection and spiritual formation at Lake Junaluska.

The SEJ Connectional Table approved the Junaluska Assembly Community Council (JACC) as an advisory group to Residential Services. The election and ratification of this council was completed by the residents and began meeting in March. We continue to appreciate the apportionment payments from all annual conferences that support the SEJ connectional ministries. Total 2005 SEJ Annual Conference apportionment payments were $1,768,794.88. The collection percentage was 82.0%. The council's allocation of that collection was $1,631,890, an increase over the 2004 collection. The General Commission on Religion and Race met with the staff and the Connectional Table of the jurisdiction in the fall, monitoring our progress in becoming inclusive. They were very complimentary of the hard work that has been done to ensure the SEJ becomes an inclusive organization. - 421 -

REPORTS

We appreciate the local churches that have chosen to meet the challenge of $.50 per member for the quadrennial special asking for the renovation of the Lake Junaluska dam. Phase 3 of the work has been completed and State of North Carolina inspectors have encouraged us to continue with the schedule that has been set for repairs. The special asking collections totaled $113,470.36.

We continue to make progress with our Capital Campaign, having received $8.3 million. Pledges for the Bethea Welcome Center are being completed with the hope of beginning construction this year. Toward the end of the year, we will begin to raise funds to build a new clubhouse for the Junaluska Golf Course. We are grateful for the work of the elected members on the Connectional Table and those who serve as leaders in other areas of ministry. Those who serve from the North Alabama Conference are: Bishop William H. Willimon Barbara L. Stewart Bobby Hicks Rev. Dale Cohen Jimmy L. Carr, Executive Director

Sumatanga Equipping the Saints for Ministry: Growing Together in Worship and Discipleship could be not only the theme for this annual conference, but the mission of Sumatanga. Every program and/or activity at Sumatanga is to help equip disciples for service. As we attempt to continue our ministry in the North Alabama Conference, one of the areas of great excitement and anticipation is the Summer Camping program. For the first time this summer the Sumatanga Staff will plan and coordinate all of the summer camps for children and youth. Bart Styes has been employed as the Summer Camp Ministries Director and is providing invaluable leadership and great excitement to the process. Our dream is to expand the opportunities for ministry and discipleship provided to children and youth in our conference. Stay tuned there will be many opportunities forth coming. The Sumatanga staff and Trustees work together to grow from good to great. We are always looking for new ways to make Sumatanga even better and more inviting. One necessary ingredient for this to be successful is ample resources to not just maintain but improve present facilities as well as programming. We are excited to be able to build a new cabin at the pool camp. This cabin will be winterized and able to house a group of ten people on each side of the cabin with an in common meeting area. The funds for this project were provided through a grant from the Hillcrest Foundation. As we continue to move into the future with our hearts anchored to the past, we ask that every United Methodist who has been touched by the Love God so freely bestows upon the gatherings at that Holy Ground we call Sumatanga, commit to find a special way to support that future. There are several ways that have been provided for that support. They include: • • • • •

600 for Sumatanga - A commitment of 600 people to provide $1,000 a year for 3 years. Friends of Sumatanga - A variety of levels of giving Fund raising events - Holiday Fundraising Dinner - On line auction -etc. Work Teams-Provide needed services depending upon their desires and expertise. Sumatanga Volunteer-A person in each church who provides the Sumatanga story, program needs, and project needs on a regular basis

Determine the best way for you to support Sumatanga and get on board. No matter what else you plan to do we covet your prayers as we move forward with plans. We have a great heritage that we must build upon to provide for the future. The Sumatanga Trustees and Staff commit to work with you to accomplish these great things.

Mrs. C. is a retired person who has moved back to her home town to be near her family. She did not find joy in eating alone and did not always eat at meal times. Her doctor was concerned about her weight loss. Since Mrs. C. has been here at the Center, she has gained weight. Her doctor was so pleased with her improved physical condition, he asked that she spend more days at the Center. Everyday when Mrs. C. leaves, she turns to say, “Everything was lovely!” Whenever you come to the communion table to break bread, remember the services provided by the McCoy Adult Day Care.

United Methodist Men The past year has been an inspiring, rewarding and challenging year for United Methodist Men of the North Alabama Conference. The year began as men went to Purdue University in July to participate in leadership workshops and get inspiration from the preachers there. The participants returned to their churches with a renewed desire to be more actively involved in being in mission and spreading God's word through study and work. Each unit is working to make a difference in taking risks and changing lives through programs that improve the life of persons in communities in the Conference and beyond. These programs include participation in: • • • • • • • • •

The James Award, The Foundation for United Methodist Men, Life Membership Awards, The Upper Room Prayer Line, Scouting for all ages, Distribution of Strength of Service Devotionals books for military personnel, Collecting hearing aids for the Hope for Hearing program, Volunteers in Mission and G Ross Freeman Award for supportive pastors.

Two Life Memberships were awarded. They went to Charles Crane, former North Alabama Conference president and Floyd Chaplin. A new award for United Methodist Men supporters, the James Award, was awarded to Melanie Crane and Laura Hardeman who have given numerous hours to promote and support the work of United Methodist Men. The Decatur, Florence and Huntsville districts came together to celebrate hearing God's word preached and to enjoy fellowshipping together. The attendance was good and the leadership of workshop leaders and preachers was outstanding. The men came away with a “let's do it again” spirit. Our plans are to continue this pattern of having smaller regional retreats to foster more local participation. It has been a joy and an honor to represent this Conference in national and jurisdictional meetings this past year. This year holds the promise of increased activity as the men continue to take risks and change lives for Christ through United Methodist Men.

United Methodist Residential Alternatives, Inc. UMRA, Inc.

United Methodist Residential Alternatives, Inc., (UMRA, Inc.) would like to have provided homes and services for more people during the past year. Families contact us about a space for their loved one. But funding for day to day operation costs currently come from government sources, and money for funding new people has not been available. However, UMRA has had a good year. Naming Rod Moss of Huntsville and Aldersgate United Methodist Church has proved to have been a very good decision. It is obvious he cares deeply about UMRA's ministry, and he has a capable, but gentle, style of leadership. Residents have participated in various activities in their respective communities. Again several were part of the “All God's Children in Mission” team that packed Health Kits at the UMCOR Sager Brown depot in Baldwin, Louisiana. Their enthusiasm and joy at knowing they were helping hurricane victims was inspirational. Also some new churches were added to our list of donors during the year. We look forward to even more hearing our story and participating in our ministry. Barbara Euler, President

United Methodist Women The North Alabama Conference United Methodist Women sought this past year to walk in God's light, the light being His Son, and to become servants like Jesus. In so doing we made disciples for Christ through our mission efforts, as our purpose mandates. On March 4-5, 2005, young women (under 40) were invited to attend a special retreat at Camp Sumatanga. “Potpourri of our Lives” was a time for spiritual growth; for stress/time management and relationship skills development; for encouraging participation and enthusiasm for the mission of United Methodist Women. Bible study leader was Amelia Tucker Shaw and musicians were Steve and Tracy Downs. Parents and children gathered for the sending forth. It was an exciting, fun and successful event for all. “Women on Fire” was the theme for our Spiritual Enrichment Event held April 9-10, 2005, at Camp Sumatanga. Holy Communion celebrants were Rev. Denise Morgan Mullaney and Dr. William Bostick. Guest speakers were sisters Shirley Mitchell and Dr. Debra Goodwin, and our song leader was Tommy Lockhart. Attendees were “fired” for spreading the word of God. Participants also engaged in a hands - on mission project of preparing kits for the Henderson Settlement (a part of the Red Bird Missionary Conference). Spiritual growth was enhanced by word and deed. South Atlantic Regional School was held at Huntingdon College, Montgomery, Alabama, on June 16-19, 2005. Conference elected officers, Dean, Assistant Dean, and teachers of our upcoming Conference School attended to be trained. “Cornerstones of Hope” was the theme with mission studies on Children of the Bible, Public Education, and India and Pakistan. All were spiritually renewed, motivated, and challenged to lead, teach, and share experiences of the school. The 2005 North Alabama Conference Cooperative School of Christian Mission was co-sponsored by the conference organization of United Methodist Women and Servants Like Jesus. Held at Camp Sumatanga on July 28-31, it had the same theme as Regional School, “Cornerstones of Hope”, and it offered the same mission studies plus How to Teach Mission Studies to Children. Everyone was taught Children of the Bible and could choose one of the other three courses. There was a mission fair of conference wide missions, a literature room, audio-visuals, a resource- learning center, and leadership training sessions were offered. Mission and disciple building were enhanced by mission education. “Many Sparks, One Flame” was the theme for Annual Meeting 2005. Camp Sumatanga again was the scene for the gathering on September 30 through October 1. Bishop William Willimon was the communion celebrant, Rev. Al and Pashion Lewis led the music, and Kelly Martini of Women's Division was guest speaker. The 2006 Pledge to Mission was adopted. New officers were elected, awards were given for outstanding mission work, and accomplishments were celebrated. The Conference Committee on Nominations held a workshop on November 5, 2005, at Camp Sumatanga for all district committees on nominations. Leader for the day was Pearline Davis, Southeastern Jurisdiction Core Planning Group member of the Committee on Nominations. Skills were taught on the proper methods to choose the best leaders for mission.

United Theological Seminary UTS Mission Statement: United Theological Seminary is a Christ-centered graduate school of the United Methodist Church that equips leaders for the church in a pluralistic world through the nurture of piety, the love of learning and the pursuit of justice. 2005 was a year of change for us as we relocated to a new campus after 80 years in the previous location. As part of a two-year planning process beginning in 2001, the seminary staff and trustees examined buildings and facilities and came to the conclusion that the school's historic location on Harvard Boulevard would not meet the seminary' s future needs. On February 18, 2005, we signed the documents that closed the purchase of a new campus in Trotwood, Ohio. The property, formerly owned by the Jewish Federation of Dayton, consists of an 80-acre campus at 4501 Denlinger Rd. Renovations began in April, 2005, and seminary staff began to move into the new facility in September of 2005. A gala three-day celebration of the new campus was held October 10-13, 2005, with more than 600 people participating in the celebratory events. The new campus gives the seminary many new opportunities with expanded classrooms, state-of-the-art technology, a new space for the EUB Heritage Center, a renovated library, programs in Wellness Ministry, and partnerships with the community. The new facility has academic and recreational resources that will allow us to make programmatic, educational, and economic impacts on the entire region. The technology at the campus creates one of the most sophisticated learning centers in the area, suitable for nearly every constituent group conceivable. Our recreational facilities, which include in-door and out-door swimming pools, a walking track, softball fields, and tennis courts, have provided us with new opportunities for educational programming and community partnerships. Already, a partnership between the City of Trotwood, the YMCA, and UTS has provided a unique initiative to serve children and families with a day camping program held on the campus last summer. The academic plan at UTS includes a full range of degree programs and initiatives including on-line learning and distance education. The M.Div. degree, with its noteworthy contextual education program, is among the more dynamic in the country, while the Doctor of Ministry program is innovative in its mentor-based contextual model. United Theological Seminary began a Wellness Initiative in July 2004 in order to explore the establishment of a Center for Wellness Education within the Institute for Applied Theology at the school. The program includes health screening and assistance for incoming students, curriculum development for wellness education with the degree programs, and a full range of strategies for assisting congregations in the exploration of health, healing, and holiness.

REPORTS

Urban Ministry Urban Ministry is the inner city program of Compassion and Wholeness related to the United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. We seek to show Compassion through our Community Kitchen Program (21,851 meals served in 2005, MondayFriday, year round) and our Assistance Ministries efforts (2,485 persons served in 2005 with utility and rental assistance or food boxes). We seek to work toward Wholeness in the community through the Joe Rush Program (we painted 25 houses of the low-income and disabled elderly in 2005) our Urban Kids Program (involving 124 children and youth in 2005), and our involvement in a number of advocacy organizations including Alabama Arise, the Food Security Coalition of Jefferson County, and others. We work with the Kairos Prison Ministry and have involved 84 male prisoners in this work in 2005 including weekly visits to Donaldson Correctional Facility in west Jefferson County. Our Volunteer Program involved 14,695 persons in 2005, worked valued by the Independent Sector publication at $257,897. We have begun the Academy for Action Formation and are in the process of recruiting our second class for the 2006-2007 year. We continue to work hard on our Campaign for Human Compassion effort which now has pledges well in excess of $400,000 as we work toward a goal of $1,000,000 over the next three-five years.

Conference Youth Ministry The Conference Youth Ministry year began with our summer camping program for Middle School and Senior High students. During a six week period over 500 students gathered at Sumatanga to worship, fellowship, and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. The Middle School students in the North Alabama Conference gathered in November for their annual fall retreat. This year's retreat, Base Camp, focused on Jesus and the church as our base camp for life. This event filled Camp Springville with more than 200 middle school students and their ministry leaders for a weekend of games and spiritual growth. We look forward to next years Junior High retreat, Wide Open, scheduled for the November 10-12. This past November over 100 adult student ministry leaders from the North Alabama Conference attended the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville. It was an ideal place to learn, worship, and create meaningful connections for our ministers. In February, Conference Youth Ministry sponsored its annual Winter Retreat in Gatlinburg, TN. With a record attendance of over 750 youth and adult leaders from the North Alabama Conference, this experience continues to be a life-changing weekend of discipleship and worship. In addition to the San Francisco mission trip in July, Conference Youth Ministry is also sending a small team of trainers to Camp Wesley in Latvia. This team will help coordinate the first youth retreat at their facility sponsored by both Latvia and Lithuania. The Academy for Student Ministry (ASM) began in the fall of 2005 filled to capacity. The ASM is a comprehensive training program designed to supply adults who minister to students with the tools they need to build and maintain a healthy youth ministry. In order to graduate, participants are required to attend five weekend training events. ASM 2006 is already filling up, and we look forward to another great year. For more information or to register please visit the Conference web site. In September 2006 North Alabama and Alabama-West Florida Conference Youth Ministry will partner to offer a Sabbath retreat for adult youth workers. Attendance is limited to the first thirty participants, so we look forward to an intimate time of spiritual renewal. Myrle Grate, Conference Youth Coordinator

The Council on Youth Ministry has been very busy this year meeting, planning, and carrying out those plans in a variety of ways to further God's ministries. This year we have seven committees that have prayerfully met three times as the council and numerous other times in just their committees to plan for their events. 1. Big Events- This committee is currently planning a weekend event called Purple for April 28-30 to be held at Camp Lee in Anniston, AL. The committee arrived at this name because blue (boys) plus pink (girls) equals purple. During this weekend the boys and girls will split up into separate small groups and speaker sessions coming together only for meals, worship, and nightly fellowship. They will discuss a variety of topics from sexuality to the media to relationships with parents and friends. 2. Leisure Activities- The committee has reevaluated their purpose and committed to “make disciples through joyful Christian fellowship.” To that end, they will be available as a recreation resource for the various youth ministry events in the conference and for youth leaders through monthly game evaluations.

resource, “Kicks,” will be included in the monthly youth leader e-mails from the Conference Youth Ministry Office as well as an archive on the COYM website. 3. Missions and Service- This committee has been busy planning and recruiting for a mission trip to San Francisco for this upcoming summer. They are also planning a trip to Africa for the summer of 2007. 4. Projects Review- This committee serves to help youth organizations in need of financial assistance. This year they have given money to a “moon-to-noon” retreat hosted one of our local churches and also given scholarship money to a group from North Alabama Conference going to Latvia to help organize a summer camp retreat at Camp Wesley. 5. Social Concerns- This committee has focused on the UN/Washington trip for high school juniors and seniors. The trip takes place over spring break and gives the students a chance to visit New York and Washington D.C. and to attend seminars on current social concerns. This year, the group will focus on the immigration issues facing our state and country. They have also made devotionals for the students to read each day and are working on publicizing scholarship opportunities for students who may not have the money to attend. 6. Spiritual Growth- This committee experienced success with their fall retreat, The Well is Deep held November 4-6, 2005. The weekend focused on reflecting, regrouping, and rediscovering your personal walk with God and featured an outstanding speaker, Lisa Yebuah. The committee has also finished the morning devotions for Jr. and Sr. High Camps this summer as well as Lenten devotionals for 2006. They have begun planning a new spiritual practices retreat for January 2007 to be held at The Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman. 7. Youth Service Fund- This committee has worked to meet fundraising goals to help fund the projects of the Projects Review Committee. They have continued to sell Nalgene bottles with the YSF logo and continue to think of new ideas for fundraising. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone that has served on the council and especially Kendal Spires (COYM Secretary), Brett Falkenhagen (COYM Treasurer), Caitlin Hartley (COYM Older Youth Chair), and all of the adult advisors on the council for their leadership, guidance, and support. In Christ, Joe Riddle, President NAC Youth

WHEREAS The United Methodist Book of Discipline Section 165C in part states that: “We believe that war is incompatible with the teachings and example of Christ.

Commendation for the Life of William Hugh Barber and Edith Otts Barber: By their children, Linda Barber Grigsby, Thomas Nowlin Barber, and Mary Ellen Barber Haynes

Our father received the “call” to preach at the tender age of nine years and served his first church at age 20. His assignments included: Lester's Chapel/Union Circuit, Fruithurst Circuit, Ranburne Circuit, Gadsden Circuit, Collinsville, Center Point, Gordo, Leighton, Brookhaven, Haleyville, Grace, Trussville, Roanoke, Winfield, Member of Conference Staff, West End and Woodlawn. The conference staff responsibilities involved higher education, training local church leaders, camps at Sumatanga and Christian Education. Our father lived a full life within the church and within his family. He and our mother, Edith Otts Barber, shared nearly 63 years of marriage and three children. Daddy died February 15, 2006 after struggling with Alzheimer's disease for several years. We buried Dad, Saturday, February 18. Typical of our mother's pattern she took care of Daddy at Fairhaven Retirement Center right to the end, even wrote “thank-you” notes to Daddy's pallbearers. Then, having completed her loving responsibilities, she joined him. We children buried mother on Monday, February 27, 2006. We are saddened by their passing, yet relieved that the physical suffering of recent years has ended. We give thanks for their lives and the blessings they gave us. We have been most touched by the many kind words and greetings shared with us by so many people of the United Methodist Church in North Alabama.

MEMOIRS

William Hugh Barber loved the Lord, the United Methodist Church, the people of the churches he served, his wife and his children. He gave his life as best he knew how to the ministry of the church in North Alabama. His word of advice to all young ministers was to “love your people” and he did that all through his 46 years of service in the North Alabama Conference.

He and I joined the North Alabama Conference the same year. I assisted him in several revivals. Our families were a close knit fellowship. This relationship commenced some fifty-six years ago and continued to grow stronger. He had many wonderful attributes, but there are four I remember distinctively. He had a passion for everybody. He was always accessible when you needed him. He was thoughtful. Not many things happened without his notice and concern. He absorbed situations and affixed his attention to ways he might help.

MEMOIRS

He was a family man. He loved his family and was continuously seeking ways he might meet their needs. He loved the Church. He did not feel that the Church owed him anything--he owed all to the Church. No one ever doubted his allegiance to Christ and the Church. “God created man for incorruption and made him in the image of His own eternal self.” (Wisdom of Solomon 2:3) God did not create us to be thrown away like a broken piece of glass. In His Providence He created us to live forever!

Clara Abney Blair Clara Abney Blair was born November 16, 1911 in Joppa, Alabama. She was the daughter of Ola and Zet Lamons. Her sisters were Trixie L. Phillips of Orlando, Florida who survives her, and Pearl L. Chambers, now deceased. Her brothers were Wilmer Lamons and Clifton Lamons, both of whom are now deceased. She attended school in Cullman and in Birmingham at Paul Haynes High School. She had three children: Betty Anderton, Albert Abney, and Ann Taylor (deceased). She had four grandchildren: Michael Abney (deceased), Denise Mann, Carolyn Terry and Debbie James; and several great-grandchildren. In 1955 she married the Reverend Thomas H. Blair, in Birmingham, Alabama. He predeceased her. The Reverend Blair's two children, Grace B. Acton and Fred T. Blair, became part her family. She also gained five stepgrandchildren: James Blair Acton, George Frederick (Fred) Acton, Anne Acton Reardon, Thomas Ashley Blair and Milton Fred Blair; and several step-great-grandchildren. Her death occurred on December 19, 2005 at Baptist Medical Center, Birmingham and was the result of heart and kidney problems. She was 94 years old. Her home church was First United Methodist Church, Morris, Alabama. Her pastor, the Reverend Richard Patsios, officiated at her funeral at Morgans Funeral Home, Gardendale, Alabama. Interment was at Oakwood Cemetery, Gardendale. Memoir Statement: Lindsey Mann, her great-granddaughter read this at her funeral Often in death the departed are remembered as being greater than they were in life…kinder, gentler and more caring. We choose to remember this idealized version of them because we love them and we miss them. As I was thinking about this phenomenon, I came to a realization. We will never have to remember an idealized version of my great-grandmother because it simply doesn't get any better than the woman that she was.

In all of my searching for something to tell you who Maw was, I kept coming back to her hands. When I remember Clara Belle, I will ALWAYS remember holding those sweet hands of hers. She wanted each of us as close as she could get us and she never wanted to let go. Each time her hand eagerly found mine, I felt so loved. Hers were the hands that held each of us when we were babies, that caught June bugs and gave sink-baths, that drove all over town just to “get lost.” A touch from her hands could tell you who she was more than anything else. Although words are so inadequate, there is a song by Dave Barnes that makes me think of her. It's called “Grace's Amazing Hands.” I'd like to close with a few lines that share just a little of what she will always mean to me: Grace's amazing hands, they hold me. They are soft as a feather bed. They would never strike or scold me, 'cause they know the words that will work instead. I always thought that love was frightening. I always thought it'd be so rough. Love has sent me down an angel, and I knew it was Grace, just by a touch.

Milton C. Booth Milton C. Booth was born July 31, 1944 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was the son of Alexander Booth and Mary Emma Abernathy Booth. He received the Bachelor of Science Degree from Livingston University in 1971 and the Master of Divinity Degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 1975. He was ordained Deacon in 1973 . In 1976 he was ordained Elder and admitted to Full Connection. On July 8, 1972 he married Linda Ann Styes Booth at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church in Ralph, Alabama. They have two children: Amy Leigh Goodgame (Randall) and Marty Joe Booth (Robyn). They also have two grandchildren: Olivia Mae Goodgame and Jonah Styes Goodgame. Milton died March 19, 2006. The Celebration of his life was held at First United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa on March 22, 2006 with burial at Wesley Chapel Cemetery in Ralph, Alabama. Memoir Statement: The Reverend Milton “Mit” Booth was a wonderful pastor and gifted preacher. He was a leader in the area of missions. He coordinated disaster relief in our Conference and was involved in similar efforts throughout the Southeastern Jurisdiction. He served as District Missions Coordinator in the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham-West Districts. He was also involved in working with the Tuscaloosa Group Home, a branch of The United Methodist Children's Home. On April 24, 2006, Milton's family accepted the very special Lifetime Volunteer Award on his behalf at a statewide reception due to his tremendous contributions of volunteerism to the United Methodist Children's Home.

MEMOIRS

She had a heart so humble she never fully understood the impact that she made with her goodness. Even in her last days she touched the lives of the nurses who pricked her fingers and chaplains that prayed for her soul. She lived a life of love. To her, we were all “my precious” and she loved each of us “best.” She assured us all that we had been “good children,” and she encouraged us to continue being good. Her faith in God and in each of us is the legacy she has left.

Mit was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a friend to all, serving and caring in the name of Jesus; he had the heart of a servant! Milton's life was guided by these words, “Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 24:40).

Bobbie Jean Patterson Headrick Bradberry

MEMOIRS

Bobbie Jean Patterson Headrick Bradberry was born September 27, 1930 in Clay County. She was the daughter of Charlie and Celia Campbell Patterson who are now deceased. She had two sisters: Nell Patterson (Wayron) Foster (deceased) and Martha Patterson (Jack) Owen. She also had a brother, Homer (Myra) Patterson (deceased). Her death occurred on September 28, 2005. Funeral services were held at Brown Service Chapel, Bessemer on September 30, 2005 with burial in Highland Memorial Gardens. The services were led by the Reverend James Haskins, her son-in-law. Memoir Statement: Denise Headrick Haskins, her daughter Bobbie Jean was the wife of the late Reverend Joseph Beamon Headrick, who passed away May 1, 1972. In 1957, Reverend Headrick committed his life to ministry at Midfield Methodist Church under the leadership of Reverend Jack Dillard. Reverend and Mrs. Headrick faithfully served the Lord in the following appointments beginning in 1959 until his death: Adger, Crim Memorial, Pelham, Rocky Mount, Houston's Chapel, and North Highlands. An active partner in her husband's ministry, she was involved in many areas of the church, including WSCS (now known as United Methodist Women), bake sales, revivals, and Sunday School. Her home knew no stranger. “Big Nanny,” as she was affectionately called by family and friends, opened her door and her heart to many people who were experiencing difficult periods in their lives. After Reverend Headrick's death, Bobbie Jean returned to Midfield United Methodist Church, where she served on the Administrative Board, worked at BBQ dinners, supported UMYF, and coached softball. She was a special friend to the ministers who served at Midfield, especially Reverend Gilbert Posey and family friend Reverend Robert Leverett, who so enjoyed sitting under the carport and drinking Big Nanny's sweet tea. Bobbie Jean grew up in the Mineral Springs Methodist Church in Clay County, where her mother Celia Campbell Patterson played the piano until her death at the age of 84. Currently, Bobbie Jean's sister Martha Owen and her husband Jack Owen serve as the delegates to Annual Conference from the Mineral Springs United Methodist Church. In addition, her late sister Nell Patterson Foster and her late brother Homer Patterson were faithful members of Mineral Springs. Bobbie Jean Patterson Headrick married Rudolph Bradberry in 1992 and lived the rest of her life in Westover, where she was a member of Mount Tabor United Methodist Church, owned Westover Leisurewear, and served on the first Westover City Council. She and Rudy enjoyed gardening, operating the store, and playing with their special dogs Cooter and Trixie. Bobbie Jean looked forward to her son-in-law sending her a copy of the appointments each year at the end of Annual Conference, so that she could check on her former churches and pastors. Known as an opinionated and spirited lady, she loved and served the United Methodist Church. She is survived by her daughters JoAnn Headrick (James) Crim of Pleasant Grove, June Headrick Langston of Morris, Denise Headrick (James) Haskins of Tuscaloosa, and Renee' Headrick (Larry) Thornton of Hueytown, six granddaughters, two grandsons, and five great grandchildren.

On September 30, 2005, her family celebrated her life at the Brown Service Chapel in Bessemer. She was buried next to Reverend Headrick at Highland Memorial Gardens. As you rest in the arms of your Saviour, breathe freely the breath of life He gives you, Mother. You are loved and missed.

Augustus McDaniel Buttram

Augustus McDaniel (Gus) Buttram was born in Addison, Alabama, on June 21, 1913. He was the sixth of eight children born to Mary Emmett Maxwell and Wilson McDaniel (Mack) Buttram. His older siblings were Rebecca Chandler (Peggy) Mauldin, Mamie Myrtice Burdick, John Wilson (Johnny), Robert Corry, and Harriet Brewer (Hallie) Reed. His younger brothers were Maxwell Emmett (Pat) and Charles Archibald. Gus was preceded in death by all but Hallie. He was named after his uncle Gus Maxwell, with whom childhood visits to Winston County established ties to the community that would endure for a lifetime. On these visits, Gus was also blessed to attend services at Maxwell Chapel, a Methodist congregation founded by his grandmother, Mamie Corry Maxwell, in 1911. Raised as the son of a Methodist Circuit-Rider, family and faith were major influences in Gus's upbringing. As a young man, he was known for his good humor, and he excelled at a variety of athletic activities until he contracted tuberculosis of the spine at age 17. Although he was given little hope for survival, his family faithfully nursed him back to health over an 18-month period, during which he was essentially immobile. Throughout this time of healing, the boy who had taken such pride in his physical stature became a man who found strength in spiritual wisdom. Although complications from the successful treatment of the tuberculosis resulted in the partial paralysis of the right side of his body, he was eventually able to return to his high school studies, graduating Altoona High School in 1937--which was also the year he first met the young Mary Rebecca Eppes at an Epworth League Rally. Their acquaintance was renewed when Gus's father was assigned to the Warrior Methodist Church later that year, and their friendship blossomed into romance. Gus's education included his graduating Snead College in 1939 and Athens College in 1942, as well as studies at Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. In 1942, he followed in his father's footsteps as a pastor in the North Alabama Conference. He became a Probationary Member in 1943, a Deacon in Full Connection in 1945, and was ordained Elder in 1947. During his ministry he served on the Town and Country Commission and was selected as North Alabama Conference Rural Pastor of the Year. He was also recognized as Alabama Physically Handicapped Man of the Year and Haleyville Civitan Club Civitan of the Year. Gus and Rebecca were married January 18, 1943 and were blessed with a daughter, also Mary Rebecca, on October 30th of that same year. While they tragically lost a child, Morris McDaniel, who died shortly after birth in June of 1945, Marvin McDaniel (Mac) was born on July 5, 1947, and their family was complete. As Gus's family thrived, so did his ministry. His first appointment was to the Remlap Circuit in Blount County where he served until 1947. He also served the Fairview Circuit in Cullman County (1947-50), Leeds Century (1950-51), Gardendale (1951-54), Weaver (1954-58), West Jasper/Zion (1958-62), Walnut Grove in Midfield (1962-66), and the Littleville Circuit in Winston County (1966-70). In 1970 he was granted disability status and retired from the Conference in 1978. Always one to answer the call, Gus also served congregations at Double Springs and Nauvoo in later years, a testament to his lifelong dedication to the vitality of rural churches. Because ministry was more than just a profession to Gus and Becky, they founded Camp Maxwell as an Interdenominational Holiness Campground in 1968. Gus would later tell how it was only after serving for years in his own ministry that he fully understood the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and the application of that doctrine to his life. Through Camp Maxwell, Gus provided a platform that would lead people not only to salvation, but to sancti- 455 -

Memoir Statement: Lindsey B. Middleton and Carter M. Buttram, grandchildren

fied lives of true discipleship. The impact that Camp Maxwell has had, and continues to have in the generation since it was founded, is truly immeasurable. Gus was a proud and prayerful grandfather to Carter McDaniel Buttram and his wife Kelly; and Lindsey Katherine Buttram Middleton and her husband Scott; as well as great-grandfather to William Albert (Will) and Mark Alloway Middleton. A supportive father-in-law to Lee Young and Pam Buttram, he was also a favorite uncle to his many nieces and nephews, and a surrogate father to more than a few young people who were privileged to be cared for by Gus and Becky. While his community involvements are too numerous to list, he was faithful to Maxwell Chapel United Methodist Church, a member of the Haleyville Civitan Club, a 50-year Mason, and member of the Alabama Emmaus Community.

MEMOIRS

He died of congestive heart failure on December 29, 2005. His funeral was held December 31, 2005 at Maxwell Chapel United Methodist Church with interment in Maxwell Chapel Cemetery. Services were conducted by the Reverends Gary Johnson, Bert Goodwin and George Creel.

George A. Canoles, Sr. Memoir Statement: George A. Canoles, Jr. Dad was born in the Minor Heights Community of Jefferson County on November 30, 1924 to John Scott Canoles and Elizabeth Lavies Canoles. He was the second of five children born to this family. His three sisters include Ruby Canoles Morris, Doris Canoles McDonald (deceased), and Mildred Canoles Wilbanks. His brother is E.B. Canoles and his half-brother is Earl Canoles. Dad married Thelma Loretta (Bradford) Canoles on September 18, 1950 at the First Baptist Church in Columbus, Mississippi. They had two children: Laura Canoles Durant and George A. Canoles, Jr. They have three grandsons: Jason Durant, Tyler Canoles, and Caleb Canoles; one granddaughter, Jill Durant Armsrong; and one great-granddaughter, Regan Elizabeth Armstrong. Mom and Dad were partners in everything. I believe the Lord called Mom to be Dad's partner in Ministry, too. Dad attended McDonald Chapel Elementary School, Minor High School, and Snead College. He was called to preach from his home church of Minor United Methodist and obtained his Preacher's License in 1963. The Town and Country Commission of the North Alabama Conference awarded him the Certificate of Citation for the Albertville District in recognition of outstanding work done and progress achieved in the areas of program effectiveness, property improvement, community service, and spiritual growth for 1963-64. He was awarded the Certificate of Attainment by the United Methodist Church for his Completion of the Four ear Course of Study, and on June 7, l971, George A. Canoles, Sr. was ordained a Deacon of the United Methodist Church. The North Alabama Conference issued him a Certificate of Appreciation in 1991 in grateful recognition of 28 years of faithful service as a minister of Jesus Christ, but Dad was soon called from retirement to serve again. He served 2 years at Nectar United Methodist, and after filling the pulpit at Simcoe United Methodist for the last four months of the 1995 conference, this congregation retained him as their Pastor until he asked to retire in June of 2000. Dad retired from the pastorate with 34 years and 4 months of faithful service as a Methodist Minister, but he never retired from witnessing to others about Jesus Christ. Dad went to be with our Lord on the Sunday morning of January 22, 2006. He was later diagnosed as having had amyloidosis, a disease that lays down proteins and attacks the organs of the body. The funeral service, held at Blountsville United Methodist Church, was a celebration of the life and home going of Rev. George A. Canoles, Sr. with Rev Michael Carver and George Canoles, Jr. officiating. A Masonic graveside service and burial took place at South Cemetery in Blountsville, Alabama. Dad was great, a true earthly example of our heavenly Father for me. I'll always remember that he could fix anything I carried to him and that he lived his life putting others first. I know he's now in Heaven singing, Oh, I want - 456 -

to see him, look upon his face, there to sing forever of his saving grace; On the streets of Glory, let me lift my voice, cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice. Hallelujah! Amen!

Thomas Hopkins Francis Memoir Statement: His son

Tom was called to preach at the early age of fifteen or sixteen, while plowing behind a mule on the family farm. He had visions of himself leading services at the local Methodist Church. A graduate of Ohatchee High School, he continued his education at Jacksonville State Teachers College. His college was interrupted by jobs and a term of duty in the United States Army Air Corps. During World War II, he served on the island of Guam in the South Pacific. Upon the completion of his tour, he returned to Jacksonville on the G.I. Bill, where he completed his degree. Next he enrolled in seminary at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He completed his Divinity Degree in 1953. Also in 1953, he was accepted into Full Connection.

MEMOIRS

Wherever Peggy Massey Furio went, she reflected that “sweet, sweet Spirit” of her Lord. She truly shared the presence of God with all those with whom she came in contact. She joyfully served with her husband Pete in various churches in the North Alabama Conference until his retirement. Well known for her teaching in Sunday School and Bible Studies, Peggy was an outstanding leader in Spiritual Growth and Prayer. Both she (Walk 4) and Pete (Walk 2) were early leaders in the Emmaus movement in North Alabama. In addition, she was frequently a tutor in math, and a friend and mentor to many people--of all ages. Anyone who received her Christmas letters, usually weeks AFTER Christmas, looked forward to reading them, sometimes laughing until tears came to their eyes! Peggy and Pete both had a great sense of humor and brought joy to hosts of people. In her last years, Peggy had to slow down physically, but this never daunted her spiritual life and devotion. A loving, beautiful, faithful wife, mother, grandmother and friend has moved away from us for awhile, for she has moved into the Father's house where she waits to greet us some day when we too make that same move. Thank you, Peggy, for being the person you were. In knowing you, we were, and still are blessed!

Marjorie Muriel Cantrell Graham Marjorie Muriel Cantrell was born at Crossville, Alabama on April 10, 1925. Her parents were Roy Lee Cantrell and Audrey Ora Jones. She had two brothers and three sisters: Lucille Cantrell Brooks, Inez Cantrell Wilbanks, Gail Edmondson, Travis Cantrell and Billy Cantrell. Marjorie graduated from Crossville High School in 1943. Her home church is Crossville United Methodist Church. Marjorie Muriel Cantrell and Wayne Silas Graham were married on June 20, 1943 at the home of the groom's parents, Timons Wright Graham and Ethel LyBrand Graham in Skirum, Alabama. The Reverend Fred F. Giddens did the honors. Wayne and Marjorie were married for sixty-two years. They have two children: Connie Graham Brown and Gary Wayne Graham; five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. She died September 12, 2005, at Albertville, Alabama. Her funeral service was held in First United Methodist Church in Albertville, Alabama. She was laid to rest in the Skirum United Methodist Church Cemetery. Memoir Statement: The Reverend Wayne S. Graham When I began to search for words to inscribe on paper with ink, words that might convey the best that Marjorie was, my hand began to quiver, knowing the best of each of us cannot be written on paper or engraved in stone. The best we are and hope to be is embedded in works that are remembered when words have fallen into the dust of oblivion.

- 458 -

Nevertheless, words may be a substitute to describe the best. They can remind us of what is high and sacred in a person's life. Marjorie did not wear bells to announce her presence. She did not take pride in her humility. What she did was not for notice by those who wanted to give public acclaim. What she did was behind the curtain of the main attraction. The only trophy she sought was to do the will of her Heavenly Father.

We are created in the image of God. Therefore, the longing for eternal life is a migratory instinct we cannot evade. We have a zeal for settings with eternal expressions. And we doubt not that the day will hasten when all of God's children shall go home to be with Christ our Lord and those we love dearly--IN OUR FATHER'S HOUSE.

He died of strokes and heart failure on September 11, 2005, His funeral was held at Shiloh in Talladega County, Alabama. Memoir Statement: Lorraine Griffit, his wife Ralph's service to the Lord began when he accepted God's calling. He first was licensed to preach in the Baptist church. He preached wherever he could. Shiloh Church was vacant and falling apart. A meeting was held to decide what to do with it. All agreed to start having service every Sunday--early--as preachers were invited to come preach from their churches in the early service. They wound up one Sunday when no preacher arrived. So Ralph told them he would preach anytime they could get no one else. Before Ralph knew it, the people coming were telling all that he was their pastor. Then it was decided to become a United Methodist church. From then on he served God in the Methodist Church wherever we were sent. We were so blessed everywhere he served. We loved the people and the people loved us. Though he was disabled physically, that did not ever stop him. He studied long hours in preparing his sermons. It was his life to serve God the very best he could and did.

When death of a loved one transpires, we become emotionally aroused, knowing that the temporal status has abruptly changed. Our eyes cannot behold what we once viewed. It is at this bend in the road that the wheat is separated from the chaff and gathered into OUR FATHER'S HOUSE.

As a result, so many members of that church would rise up to call him blessed. One thing that can be said of him that “he never sold the truth to serve the hour, nor paltered with eternal God for power.” His mind and heart were well connected and truth and honesty were always his watchword.

In addition to his other talents, as has already been indicated, he was a faithful and solid preacher. In his last sermon he preached at Plant City United Methodist Church at their Homecoming on April 23, 2006, he closed by saying, “We think of that day when we will embrace Jesus and He will embrace us. You will see the Saviour you have served, trusted and longed for. There he is, the Savior who gave his life for you, for your redemption, who brought you to faith and turned you from death to life. I envision that Jesus will put his arms around us, draw us close and say, 'Welcome Home!'.” On April 28, 2006 Leonard passed, but he will never leave. The people of that church will never forget the loving touch of a caring hand that digs deep into the needs of the church and community. That will never go away!

Also surviving are three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and several nieces, nephews and cousins. Commendation: The Reverend Ira Laney Azile Lee Newman left this earth after 97 years. She left it a better place. She was a quiet, easy-spoken lady who always stood by her preacher husband G.O. Throughout their marriage, she was as much a part of the ministry of Methodism as was Brother G.O. Very much like Susanna Wesley, Sister Newman shared her home and raised her children in a righteous manner. She loved her children and made the parsonage more than just a place for the preacher to live. She graced the parsonage with dignity and kindness. It was a warm and open home which she shared with each congregation, her family and friends. Quietly she gave her love and strength to charges and churches through the hills and dales of the North Alabama Conference. After a 20 year absence of her beloved husband, they are now experiencing together the joy of the Lord and sharing in His presence forever.

Memoir Statement: The Parker Children My father was a man of integrity. He lived what he believed. He was an inspiration to me, and all who knew him. He loved being in the ministry and all that encompasses; but, he also loved his family and spending time with them. He was an avid outdoorsman; he liked fishing, hunting, gardening and traveling. He was a great man and father. Kenneth Richard Parker My Dad was a spiritual leader, an excellent father and a wonderful friend. He was patient, kind and understanding. He gave so much of his time to others no matter what their need. Even though his time was much in demand by his church families, he still always found time for his personal family; from going to our ballgames, taking us hunting, fishing and camping, singing in the car, making us laugh at his directional ability, drying our tears, praying with us, to giving us guidance and advice. What a wonderful gift my heavenly father gave me, my “Daddy.” Susan Parker Carlisle It is extremely difficult to condense my thoughts of Daddy into a few lines. He was a loving, gentle and Godly man. The love he shared with his family seemed to grow even greater as he became older and more grandchildren were born. I have truly been blessed for having had a father and role model like Kenneth Parker. He was always so proud of his children as we were of him and his success as a father, grandfather, and pastor. Since his death I have come to understand more clearly the depth to which he touched the lived of others. We have all been blessed, and today there is rejoicing in Heaven. Gina Parker Dulaney

On August 13, 2005, the Reverend Raper died of cancer. His funeral was held August 16, 2005 with interment at Oakwood Memorial Gardens, Gardendale, Alabama.

My father lived a long and fulfilling life as a United Methodist Minister. He and my mother, Mary, were truly a team as they served over 19 churches in the North Alabama Conference. While my father was dedicated to the ministry, he was also centered in his love for our family. He lived his life with enthusiasm, humor, hard work, humility and service. Most of all, he had an overwhelming love for people--even in his 90's he served as a greeter at Gardendale-Mt. Vernon United Methodist, a church that he had pastored years earlier. I believe that he saw his role as a shepherd as he served the following churches: Alton (Ruffner Charge); Rockford Charge; Collinsville First; Hanceville First; Memorial Drive in Decatur; Gardendale First; Oxford First; LaFayette First; Hokes Bluff First; Druid Hills in Tuscaloosa; Leighton First; and Graysville First. After retiring from the active ministry in 1978, he served the Walnut Park United Methodist Church until 1992. Reverend Raper loved doing the good work of the Church as he preached, visited, held revivals, participated in meetings, and studied to prepare for his next preaching/teaching assignment. Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

Claude Wilford Whitehead, Jr. Claude Wilford Whitehead, Jr. was born March 11, 1918 in Houston, Texas. He was the son of Claude Wilford Whitehead, Sr. and Mamie Sellers Whitehead. His brother was Dr. John Sellers Whitehead, and his sister was Mary Whitehead Herring.

MEMOIRS

He earned the Bachelor of Arts Degree from Birmingham-Southern College and the Master of Divinity Degree from Yale Divinity School. He was admitted to probationary membership in the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Church in 1941. In 1942 he was ordained a deacon and brought to full connection in 1943. After serving as assistant pastor of First Methodist Church, Gadsden, he was appointed pastor of Bluff Park Methodist Church on Shades Mountain, Birmingham, where he served three years. During World War II, he was a Naval chaplain in the Philippines. Following his service in the Navy, his first pastorate was Boaz Methodist Church, followed by Fairfax, Lanett, Forest Lake in Tuscaloosa, Mt. Vernon in Birmingham, Scottsboro First, Alexander City First and Huffman. He served on the North Alabama Conference cabinet as superintendent of the Florence District from 1967 to 1970 and of the Gadsden District from 1980 to 1985. He was Director of the Conference Council on Ministry from 1970 to 1974 and also served on the General Council on Finance and Administration of the national church from 1970-1976. He served as the Bishop's Assistant for Spiritual Formation of the Birmingham Episcopal Area from 1985-1988 and later served as minister of spiritual formation at Christ Church in Birmingham from 1988-1992. He was Retreat Master of three two-year Academies for Spiritual Formation sponsored by the Upper Room. He retired in 1992. In 1939 he married Corinne Andrews White who preceded him in death in 1993. They had a daughter, Catherine Whitehead Snow and a grandson, Jonathan Whitehead Snow. In 1995 he married Edna Jackson Whitehead who survives him. He suffered a brain hemorrhage at home on December 6, 2005 and died later that day at Baptist Montclair Medical Center A celebration of his life was held December 9, 2005 at Canterbury United Methodist Church in Birmingham, his home church. Services were led by the Reverend Bill Morgan, the Reverend Bert Goodwin and the Reverend Charles Betts. Following the service, interment was at Elmwood Cemetery. Commendation: The Reverend Bert Goodwin Jesus said He came to offer life “more abundant;” only to remind us life would also be faced with “war and rumors of war.” Knowing our lives would be lived in this dichotomy, Jesus' grace has produced messengers in every generation to hold high the cross as a lamp unto our path. One such messenger graced our lives for more than six decades. The gifted ministry of Claude Whitehead was a vital factor in the spiritual life of the North Alabama Conference. This messenger was my soul brother. I was blessed to have him as my Spiritual Director during much of my ministry. He was there during the nine year battle our son Mike waged with cancer, resulting in his death. Claude was there. Among my more durable memories was sharing many Walks to Emmaus with him at Camp Sumatanga. We were participants and leaders for ten years of the Academy for Spiritual Formation. Prayer was central to every facet of Claude's life. Claude was not “laid to rest” at Elmwood Cemetery on December 9, 2005. His spirit was set free to roam with the angels as long as God needs a messenger to hold high the cross. - 472 -
