Roll and Pastoral Records of Conference Members in Full Connection: 573, 1975

Note: This was formerly the Chronological Roll and is now alphabetically arranged for greater convenience and to provide a listing of the service records of conference members in full connection, both effective and re- tired. Since the information came from records supplied by each man and includes only service in the North Carolina Conference, the Conference Secretary should be notified of any discrepancies or changes that the members wish to have made. Note that service years vary in value and the Conference Board of Pensions evaluates each year of service in terms of annuity credit. The figures in the right-hand column only indicate the number of years served under episcopal appointment to the North Caro- lina Conference. All questions concerning years applicable to annuitv credits should be directed to the Board of Pensions (Editor) .

Blackburn, Resident Bishop of the Raleigh Area, called to order The North Carolina Conference of the Southeastern Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church at 1 : 30 p.m., following the singing of the traditional Conference hymn, Number 336, "And Are We Yet Alive?" and the recitation of The Apostles' Creed. This was the one hundred fifty first session of The North Carolina Annual con- ference and the ninth session of The North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. The 1976 session was convened at Methodist College, Fayetteville, N.C.

Bishop Blackburn accepted with gratitude the preparations made by Dr. Pearce and the Conference responded with applause.

Host District: Bishop Blackburn introduced the Reverend Norwood Jones, Superintendent of the Elizabeth City District, who is serving as host District Superintendent for this session of the Annual Conference. He in turn introduced Mr. Don Craft, Lay Leader and member of the Ahoskie

145

UM Church, to bring greetings on behalf of the district. The Conference expressed appreciation with applause and Jones was again recognized. He pointed out that it has been 29 years since the Eizabeth City District had served as a host to the Conference in any manner. He commented on how appropriate it was in this Bicentennial Year that the district which had been the birthplace of Methodism in Eastern North Carolina should serve as the host district. Jones called attention to the procedures to be followed during the sessions of Annual Conference and the necessity for prompt registration for special meals and other individual activities. Bishop Black- burn expressed appreciation to Norwood Jones for his work and his com- ments. He reviewed some of the highlights of the Conference that were to come.

Special Words: Rev. James Coile, Conference Secretary, introduced Rev. E.R. Porter, who in turn presented Mr. Will Chadwick of New Bern to present to Bishop Blackburn a special gavel to celebrate the Bicen- tennial of the Carolina Circuit.

Special Word of Welcome: Bishop Blackburn .ecognized Rev. Norwood Jones to introduce Mayor Beth Finch of the City of Fayetteville to bring special greetings from the city, mayor Finch was greeted with a round of applause and she expressed appreciation for the repeated visits of the United Methodist Conference and for the presence of Methodist College in Fayetteville.

She wished the members of the Conference success in their endeavors. The Conference responded with applause.

Point of Personal Privilege : Norwood Jones expressed a desire that the Bishop be recognized not only as president of the Conference and a very special person, but a very special Bishop, and in token of such the Eliz- abeth City District was providing a rose for his lapel to be placed on his desk each day. Norwood Jones introduced Don Craft, who was to pin the rose on Bishop Blackburn's lapel as a mark of esteem and appreciation, not only for the years of leadership but also with expectation of years of leadership to come. Mrs. N.L.Jones received an orchid.

The sentence will then read: 'A member of the Cabinet or the Conference Staff (designated by the Cabinet) shall serve as the covening officer for the organizational meeting.' " The amendment was adopted. The Rules as amended were adopted.

146

Smith moved that the Quadrennial nominations to Conference Boards and Agencies be moved to Tuesday af- ternoon to lie on the table until Wednesday afternoon, and that the floor be open for further nominations on Tuesday afternoon with voting to take place Wednesday afternoon.

He expressed appreciation for what had been contributed by the North Caro- lina Annual Conference and announced that the fund drive had been extended until December 31 , 1976, and hoped that other monies would be forthcoming to the Junaluska Advancement Fund.

The Messages were received with enthusiasm and a vote of confidence.

Privileged Matter: Bishop Blackburn recognized the Reverend Doctor F. Lowry, who has been attending Annual Conference for 63 years.

The Bishop called for all the District Superintendents to stand and he praised them for their leadership. All received an ovation from the Conference.

Motion: Rev. Russell Stott, Goldston Charge, moved that "Whereas moving is part of our itinerant system, and Whereas the reimbursements

152

now paid by the Conference do not cover moving expenses, Be it resolved that by 1978 ministers shall be reimbursed for all their moving expenses and that the Council on Finance and Administration take the necessary steps to assure this." The motion was seconded. Stott spoke to the motion and it was referred to the Council on Finance and Administration by vote of the Conference.

Motion: Mrs. Martha Garrick offered the following motion : "Recogniz- ing that Diaconal Ministers (Lay Workers) are professional persons ministering in the United Methodist Church, and whereas the General Conference voted to give the Annual Conference the privilege of granting consecrated Lay Workers voting delegate status to the Annual Confer- ence ; we move that the consecrated Lay Workers of the NC Conference be given this right, within the framework of the Lay Equalization plan, and ask that the implementation be referred to the Lay Equalization Comit- tee." It was seconded. Mrs. Garrick spoke to her motion and requested that the consecrated Lay Workers in the Diaconal Ministry be given the vote. Bishop Blackburn ruled that this was a motion to refer to committee and the referral of this motion was adopted.

Report of the Conference Council on Ministries: Bishop Blackburn called upon the Director of the Council on Ministries, Charles Mercer, to present the overall report. Mercer indicated that there would be a general report and then each individual Board and Division would give its report. The presentation began with a Multi-Media program produced by the Conference Staff and narrated by Charles Mercer. The Conference ap- plauded the special Multi-Media presentation and Mercer resumed his presentation by calling for the Conference Staff to come forward. Simul- taneously he asked the secretaries from the Methodist Building to stand and receive the accolade of the Conference for their hours of hard work. Mercer referred to The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, page 22, requesting approval of recommendations from the Confer- ence Council on Ministries which encompassed the remainder of the year 1976. Mercer moved the adoption of these seven recommendations. They were adopted.

Mercer then explained that beginning on page 23 and continuing through page 33, the 1977 Program Recommendations to be implemented by the local church and those to be implemented by the district Council on Ministries and those to be implemented by the Conference Council on Ministries were each divided into two sections: A. Actions Which Shall Be Taken; B. Actions Which Shall be Considered. New recommenda- tions were identified by an asterisk.

The 1977 Program Recommendations to be implemented by the local church were considered first. The first two sections were presented.

Motion: Charles Litzenberger moved the following: "I recommend the words 'Mental Retardation Sabbath" be deleted and replaced by the words "A Sunday for God's Exceptional Children." This was in Section A, Item 6, page 23 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976. It was seconded. Litzenberger spoke to the motion and it was ac- cepted by the Conference Council on Ministries without any further question.

153

Question: Mrs. Emily Gardner, lay member from Wesley Memorial Church, Warrenton, questioned Item 3 under Section A, page 23, as to how it was possible to set a goal for the number of people that might be touched by the Holy Spirit and received into the church on profession of faith. Simeon Cummings explained that it was simply a goal toward which to work.

Question: Randy Wall wanted to know the rationale behind the sched- uling of the Church-wide Visitation Program on March 13-19. Mercer responded by saying that this type of emphasis seemed to be appropriate during the Lenten season and it was scheduled to coordinate with the Conference Calendar.

Motion: Randy Wall moved "to delete 'on March 13-19, 1977' from A.l. on page 23 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976. Mercer responded, defending the original date. Langill Watson spoke against the Wall motion. Watson pointed out that the motion was one of concern because he was a student pastor and that the dates might conflict with his student work. Watson stated that while he appreciated Wall's concern over not getting caught in the conflict, he was also con- cerned that we would be setting a precedent to concern themselves with making changes which were for the advantage of only slightly less than 50 student pastors. The question was called on the Wall motion. The vote was taken and the Wall motion was lost.

Motion: Rev. John Maides moved the following: "I move that each church be requested to conduct a religious census prior to visitation, to be conducted in late winter or spring." There was a second to the motion by Troy J. Barrett. The Maides motion lost

Motion: Mrs. Emily Gardner moved that "on page 23, Section A., Item 3, the wording be changed to read 'that each local church Administrative Board shall set as one of its top priorities the reception of new members on profession of faith.' " There was a second to the motion. Languil Watson spoke as to the need for goal setting in every activity in church life. Mercer commented on this matter. The motion was defeated.

Motion: William P. McComas of Creswell moved that the wording under A (Actions Which Shall Be Taken) on page 23, be changed from "shall be" to ought to be." The motion was seconded and McComas spoke to it. After a speech for the motion, Dr. Tom Collins spoke against it on the grounds that some actions need to be mandated since they are a man- date of the Council on Ministries and the entire Annual Conference. The Question was called. The motion was lost.

Question Called: The question was called on Items on pages 23, 24, 25 and the top of page 26, including A and B under "1977 Program Recommendations To Be Implemented By The Local Church," Section A, Actions Which Shall Be Taken, Items 1-7; and Section B, Actions Which Shall Be Considered, Items 1-21. They were moved, seconded and adopted.

Mercer moved on to page 26 taking up the 1977 Recommendations To Be Implemented By The District Council on Ministries, Section A, Items 1-8.

Question: David Dunlap questioned the rationale behind Item 6, the

154

implementation of this Item by the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. Mercer responded by stating that the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee would give the minister permission and even encouragement in attendance at programs of continuing education which necessitated his being absent from his parish and also, hopefully, would undergird him financially, if necessary. Bishop Blackburn called for approval of Section A, Items 1-8 on pages 26-27. It was moved, seconded and all Items were adopted.

Mercer presented Section B on pages 27-28. Henry Griffin of Southport wanted clarification on Item 3, page 27. He wanted to know the content of the Young Adult Lab during 1977. R.L. Baldridge of the Conference Staff stated that the purpose was exploratory in nature to discover new ways in which to improve Young Adult Work within each given district and find ways in which to reach Young Adults with the Gospel in the most winsome manner.

The question was called on Section B, and Items 1-14 were approved.

Mercer continued by presenting 30 Items under Section A, 1977 Recom- mendations To Be Implemented By the Conference Council on Ministries.

Motion: Sam Dodson moved an amendment to Item 4, page 29. He moved that we "strike out the three words 'the fall of,' leave in year '1977,' and add the words 'or camp' after the word college." Dodson's amendment was accepted by the Conference Council on Ministries.

Motion: Mrs. R.B. Guthrie moved that under Item 5, page 29, we "delete the words 'costs to be borne by participants' and insert the words 'that the local churches include monies to cover such costs in the Educa- tion Section of their budgets.' " The motion was defeated.

Motion: John W. Ruth, Allensville-Trinity Charge, moved that "the District Chairperson on Education be added to the Conference-wide training event" under Item 1, page 28. R.L. Baldridge explained that the idea was to train age-level coordinators specifically. The Ruth motion

Motion: John Cline moved that Item 16, page 30 have these words added: "to be implemented by pastor and local church Council on Minis- tries." The Cline motion was accepted by the Conference Council on Ministries.

The question was called on Items 1-30, pages 28-32, and they were adopted as amended by the Conference.

Mercer continued the presentation of the Items on pages 32 and 33, 1-10 under Section B.

Question: Bob Stafford, Westminister Church, Kinston, questioned Item 3, asking exactly what was meant by a "human sexuality weekend." Bill Gattis spoke to the question, explaining that it was of religious orienta- tion in nature. Malloy Owen questioned as to whether this would be in violation of recent General Conference action. Mercer responded that it would not. Owen wanted reassurance that there would be no study of "Alternative life styles" during these studies on sexuality. Mercer reas- sured him that there would not.

Richard Vaughan of Hopewell-Mt. Moriah spoke to the need of con- sidering winter dates for youth so that the rural families would be able to allow their youth to attend during those months when they were not busy

155

working in the fields and helping around the family farms. He reminded the Conference that the rural church is the backbone of the conference. Mercer agreed that everything would be done to make this possible.

Rev. Theodore Von Carter requested the Council on Ministries to con- sider increasing the number of youth programs available. He expressed the feeling that many of the young people felt that the Conference was only interested in the older people. He urged the Conference Council on Min- istries to enlarge their program of youth activities and reach as many youth of the Conference as possible. Mercer agreed and requested that Carter go to the Conference on Youth Ministries, made up predominantly of young people, and determine what things we ought to be doing. Mercer stated that one of his own concerns was that we have better youth programs within each local community and each local church.

Bishop Blackburn asked if the Conference was ready to vote on the Items on pages 32 and 33, under Section B. The Conference moved to vote on these Items. Items 1-10 on pages 32-33 were adopted.

Special Recognition and Resolution: Mercer called John M. Meares forward to hear a special resolution for his long service. (See Resolutions in Section V.) Meares was accorded a standing ovation and words of appreciation from the entire Conference. Meares responded in love with appreciation, charm and wit.

Mercer continued the presentation of the Conference Council on Min- istries by asking the ushers to pass out a sheet allowing all participants in the Conference to comment on what might be a possible 1978 Confer- ence priority. This concluded the presentation of the Conference Council on Ministries.

The Division on Lay Life and Work: Bishop Blackburn called upon Grier Garrick to make the report for the Division. (See Section V.) Follow- ing his report Conference Lay Leader Garrick submitted new officers for district lay posts. The report was approved and officers were elected. Garrick concluded with a statement of appreciation to all of the many people who have helped him during his tenure as Conference Lay Leader; and, as he concluded that tenure, expressed the feeling that he could not possibly have carried out the duties of his office without the many hours of work performed by countless people loyal to the faith.

Conference Lay Leader Elected: James R. Watkins of Rocky Mount was nominated and elected as Conference Lay Leader for the coming quadrennium. Mr. Watkins addressed the Conference with words of thanks and humility. He asked permission to present a resolution in ap- preciation of and honor for Mr. Grier Garrick. The resolution was read and adopted by the Conference with a standing ovation. (For text of resolution, see Section V.)

Report of Committee on Selection of Lay Person of the Year: James R. Watkins, as his first official act as the new Lay Leader of The North Caro- lina Conference, awarded the Lay Person of the Year award to Julia Williams of Fairmont United Methodist Church in Raleigh for her untir- ing service to and devotion to Christ and her church during the past years. Her service was especially noteworthy because of her work, not only in her local church, but on behalf of Christian endeavors in North Carolina and

156

in South America. The Conference acknowledged and approved her award with a standing ovation.

Report of United Methodist Women: Bishop Blackburn recognized Mrs. Ruth Cade, president of United Methodist Women, for her report, The report emphasized the call to mission and the full text is included in Section V. The report was received with great appreciation.

Announcements: Conference Secretary, James Coile, made announce- ments.

Resumption of Order of the Day: Bishop Blackburn called for the sing- ing of Hymn Number 150, "A Charge To Keep I Have," by Charles Wes ley. Bishop Blackburn introduced and presented with deep appreciation and affection Dr. Ernest T. Campbell, pastor of Riverside Church, New York City. Dr. Campbell was the official Conference preacher and this was the first of three sermons he was to preach. Dr. Campbell used as his text the prologue to John's Gospel.

Bishop Blackburn expressed gratitude to Dr. Campbell for his stirring sermon and then pronounced the Benediction. The Conference was adjourned until 2 : 00 p.m.

SECOND DAY, AFTERNOON SESSION Tuesday, June 8, 1976

Following the playing of the Prelude, "Sonata II," by Mendelssohn, by Mr. Dale Caldwell, Organist/Chorimaster, Front Street UM Church, Burlington; Bishop Blackburn called the afternoon session of the North Carolina Annual Conference to order and prepared for the service of recognition of the ministers who are retiring. The Conference sang Hymn 287, "We Are Climbingjacob's Ladder."

Bishop Blackburn called the question, "What members in full connec- tion have retired?" Rev. Kermit Wheeler, Secretary of the Board of Pen- sions, answered the question and presented certificates to the retiring ministers. Bishop Blackburn gave each the hand of fellowship and a special parchment recognizing their years of service. A corsage was pinned on each of the wives of the retiring ministers. Bishop Blackburn asked each of the retiring ministers to make a brief statement to the Conference. At the conclusion of the order for recognition of the retiring ministers the Conference joined in singing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds."

Point of Personal Privilege: Norwood L. Jones was recognized for a point of personal privilege. The Conference recognized and applauded Brother John A. Russell, who was attending his 64th consecutive session of the Annual Conference.

Report of the Division on Health and Welfare Ministries: Bishop Black- burn recognized Dr. Marvin Vick, Superintendent of The Methodist Home for Children. After expressing the needs of the Home, Vick presented Mrs. Louise Peterson to speak in terms of thanksgiving for the support for The Methodist Home for Children that comes through the Conference through the Single Figure Asking and other Conference sources. Mrs. Peterson, a member of the Board of Trustees emphasized the missional aspects of the work done by The Methodist Home for Children. Following Mrs. Peter- son's report, Vick asked the other staff members and children to come and stand before the Conference and he introduced them. The children then

157

distributed literature concerning the Home. Finally, Dr. Vick presented "Muh" Brown who has been at The Methodist Home for Children (Form- erly called The Methodist Orphanage) since she was 9 years old. She is now more than 70. He presented her with a brief statement — it was the first Annual Conference which she had attended — and she was recognized with a standing ovation in response to a beautiful statement that she made concerning the meaning of the North Carolina Annual Conference and what this had meant to her in providing her a home.

Conclusion of Lay Life and Work Matters: Bishop Blackburn recog- nized Mr. Grier Garrick who presented page 37 of The Conference Pro- gram and Recommendations, 1976, and Items 26, 27, 28 and 29 were approved.

Motion: Grier Garrick presented the following motion which came from the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Conference Council on Ministries:

"WHEREAS, The North Carolina Conference at its 1974 session au- thorized the Council on Ministries to appoint an additional staff person to be known as the Coordinator/Enabler for Special Minis- tries and Economic Development, and WHEREAS, the Staff Personnel Committee of the Conference Council on Ministries has made diligent, but unsuccessful effort to find a person willing and competent to serve in this dual capacity, BE IT, THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Annual Conference give permission to the Conference Council on Ministries to rearrange job descriptions in order that the functions described by the Conference may be best fulfilled." Since this involved a change in the structure, it was ruled that it should lie on the table for 24 hours before action could be taken.

Resumption of Program of the Conference Council on Ministries: Charles Mercer moved that the Board of Discipleship be first recognized and under this the Division of Evangelism.

Division of Evangelism : Rev. M. Dewey Tyson presented the report of the Division. Tyson recognized the New Life Missioners and emphasized the importance of the Convocation on Evangelism. Tyson then moved the adoption of the recommendation on page 34, under C, Item 9, that Tommy Tyson be appointed as an approved Conference Evangelist for the coming year. He was approved.

Division of Worship: Rev. W.D. Sabiston III presented the report of the Division of Worship. (See Section V.) The report was adopted by the Conference.

Division of Education: Rev. Christian White presented the report of the Division of Education. White spoke concerning the decline in Church School membership and showed some hope of an increase in regular attendance in the near future. White expressed that a new concern for Evangelism and Discipleship would work hand in hand with the work of the Church School in improving meaningful attendance. White then moved the adoption of the policy recommendations on page 34 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, Section B, Items 2-8. A question from the floor came concerning why there was a full-time

158

manager-director at Camp Don Lee and not at the other camps. Seaborn Blair was asked by Christian White to answer this question and Blair responded by saying that this is the direction in which we are attempting to move. The questioner was James Earl Sutton. Sutton asked what the salary of the full-time director would be. Seaborn Blair answered that he did not know. Sutton said his point was why was a full-time man being placed there for what appeared to be a part-time work while there was not adequate staffing at the other camps. Sutton did not push the point and Dr. Blair continued with his report. Blair said that the questioner had just pointed up the substance of his message in the task force that had been planning for the past three years needed additional people for all of the camps and in order to have that, they needed more money which would have to be supplied from Conference funds and this was the ulti- mate plan. He pointed to the work that had been done with the help of Dr. C.P. Morris and many others who are working hard on a continuing and part-time basis.

Motion: Dr. Seaborn Blair moved that the camping program be contin- ued and it be centered primarily around small group camping. He would like to add this motion as Item 9 under Items 2-8 on page 34 of The Con- ference Program and Recommendations, 1976. The motion was seconded. The Item will be considered Item 8. a. at the suggestion of the Conference Secretary. A suggestion was made by H.S. Goodwin that the words "and the Urban Ministries" be added just after the words "Migrant Workers" on Item 8, Section B, page 34. This was accepted. Dr. Blair answered questions concerning the utilization of Camp Kerr Lake, and he assurred everyone that personnel were employed and that Camp Kerr Lake would be utilized to the extent that it received requests for utilization from local church groups.

Rev. Brooks Patten spoke in recognition of the work of Dr. Seaborn Blair and his hard work for the Camp Committee and presented Dr. Blair a key to the camps. Patten said that he hoped this key would open any door to camping in the North Carolina Conference to Dr. Blair and stated that it was presented as a mark of esteem and in honor of the work that Blair had done. The Conference gave Dr. Blair a standing ovation. Sec- tion B as amended was approved.

Rev. Tommy Faggart gave a brief report on behalf of Christian Educa- tors and the interest in hiring certified Christian Educators. Faggart expressed a concern for the financial underwriting of the Christian Educa- tors and moved the report on pages 38 and 39 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976. He said that anyone or any church that was looking for the services of a Christian Educator should contact the Method- ist Building Staff or write directly to Scarritt College for help in obtaining such personnel. With the deletion of the name of Miss Carol Ann Tignor, who has been transferred to the Virginia Conference, the report on pages 38 and 39 was moved.

Report of the Committee on Church Musicians: The report was pre- sented by Mrs. Doris Downs who moved the report on pages 40 and 41 of The Conference Program and Recommendations. It was adopted.

This proposal was laid on the table for twenty-four hours before any action was taken.

Charles Mercer recognized the chairpersons of the various Divisions, expressing appreciation for the leadership they had provided during the past quadrennium.

Report of the Board of Global Ministries: Dr. Thomas A. Collins introduced the speakers and participants on this Board. Collins presented Rev. Rufus Stark for several reports for the Division of Missions. Stark presented a paper which had been distributed to the Conference entitled "The Day of the Global Church." The major paper attached was entitled "A Bolivian Manifesto on Evangelism for Latin America Today" and Stark alluded to what the evangelistic ministry and the Bolivian Work Team had meant in the field of evangelism and mission as a cooperative venture. Stark then recognized the chairpersons of the Division, recognizing Rev. Amos Stone, Rev. Paul Bunn, Rev. Clyde Dunn, Rev. Rod Randolph, Rev. Milton Mann, Rev. George Johnson, Rev. John White, Rev. P.D. Midgett and Dr. Bill Austin. In addition he expressed appreciation for Rev. Simeon Cummings and Rev. Frank Grill from the Conference Coun- cil Office.

Stark recognized Paul Bunn, Conference Missionary Secretary, to give an overview of the highlights of the past year and the quadrennium. Bunn spoke in detail about the work, particularly stressing the Advance and the development of Mission Work Teams. A new book entitled, "Love Is Being Alive in Mission," will be placed in the hands of the members of the Conference by August. He commended this as an overview of what can be done. He emphasized the growth of 427% during the last quadrennium in the area of Advance Mission giving.

Stark recognized George Johnson for remarks concerning the work of the Church and Community Committee. Johnson recognized the workers on this committee and then presented the Church of the Year Awards for Churches in various categories. Three churches have been named this year as recipients of the awards. In the category of "Under 300 members"

160

the Evansdale UM Church, Rev. George Wheatly, was recognized and pre- sented with a plaque. In the category of 300 to 1000 members Wesley Chapel, Wilmington District, Rev. E.C. Lancaster, pastor, was recognized and presented with a plaque. In the category of over 1000 members, St. Luke UM Church, Sanford, Rev. R.W. Ponder, pastor, was recognized and presented with a plaque. All were accorded a round of applause.

Stark referred to pages 35 and 36, Items 16 through 23, concerning the Division of Missions. Additions and corrections were made.

Items proposed by Stark on pages 35 and 36 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, were adopted by the Conference. Stark expressed appreciation for the privilege of presenting this report to the Conference and the Bishop praised the Division for its work.

Report of Task Force on Peace and Self Development : Bishop Black- burn called on Rev. A.F. Fisher to present a report. Fisher stated that he would prefer to delay the report until they had the full results of the quad- rennial program at hand and remarked that it appeared as if the program had been extremely successful. The Conference has responded beautifully at the district and conference levels as well as at the local church level. The impact has been felt and the full report will be ready by this fall.

Report of the Task Force on Hunger: Bishop Blackburn called on Rev. Clyde Dunn to report on the work of this task force. Dunn emphasized that the financial success of this to date would predicate continued suc- cess. He stated that without the vigilant involvement of each Christian in this work we would not be able to accomplish the dramatic and dynamic goals set forth by the General Conference this year. The remainder of the text of Dunn's report can be found in Section V of the Journal. Dunn recommended that each local church recognize February 20, 1977, the Sunday before Lent, as Hunger Sunday to receive an offering for World Hunger in keeping with the quadrennial emphasis. The Dunn report was adopted with appreciation.

Report of the Division on Health and Welfare Ministries: Bishop Black- burn called on Rev. A. P. Hill to present the report. Hill noted that we had already heard from Dr. Marvin Vick and now he called on Dr. Joseph F. Coble, Executive Director of The Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc.

Report of The Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc. : Dr. Joseph F. Coble emphasized the number of people now employed by The Methodist Retire- ment Homes who now are seeking to provide a home of security, love and health care for persons in the older years of life. He stressed the problem of declining value of the dollar of the retired person and the need to pro- vide for the disadvantaged. "While the church cannot serve everyone," he continued, "it can and should reach and help a reasonable number of these people."

He stressed the methods by which the church could provide more benev- olent assistance to help people in genuine need. He mentioned the Retire- ment Home in Durham with a capacity of 215 and the Health Care Center with a capacity of 120 and the Home in Lumberton which will begin operation in November with a capacity of 90. He invited new applications for admission to one of the Homes Facilities.

He emphasized that land has been offered for future expansion of the

161

Methodist Home system and requested that the Conference join together in a covenant to assist in expansion. He described a Bond Sale program to reduce the two million dollar indebtedness remaining on our current construction projects.

Motion: Rev. Nathan Byrd of Ahoskie made the following motion: "I move that the NC Conference respectfully request the Board of Trustees of The Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc., to review their financial requirements for entrance into the Home in connection with newly imple- mented $6,000 Entrance Fee."

Coble spoke to the motion and explained that the $6,000 Entrance Fee could be waived, but Byrd felt that there was a psychological effect be- cause of this Fee. Coble stated that the Fee was a one-time fee, but that the monthly rates and other expenses are set year by year and would have to be covered by the indivicual. Rev. Clyde Dunn spoke in favor of the motion that the Trustees reconsider the $6,000 Entrance Fee. Coble called on Dr. Kimsey King to answer questions concerning the Entrance Fee. King made a statement.

The Byrd Motion was passed. Rev. Vernon Tyson asked a question as to whether the matter concerning land was before us and Rev. A. P. Hill answered that this was a matter that had been voted on last year and was not properly before us. Rev. Owen Fitzgerald asked a question of Dr. Coble concerning the sale of Bonds. Fitzgerald questioned whether a Bond Issue could be floated without approval by the Council on Finance and Administration. Fitzgerald moved that the bond sale be reviewed by the Council on Finance and Administration. It was seconded and without discussion it was so ordered.

Rev. Ed. Earnhardt questioned what exactly was the "third" Home being referred to in Item 14, page 35, The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976. Coble answered the Earnhardt question con- cerning the land in Elizabeth City as he assumed that the additional home to be built would be in Edenton.

SEMAR Report: Rev. Ernie Porter gave the report indicating that we would remember the first Sunday in November as an emphasis for God's Exceptional Children and also the Items on page 35. Rev. Porter also expressed appreciation to Rev. A. P. Hill for his service. He was accorded a round of applause.

Report Adopted: Rev. A. P. Hill concluded his report by moving the adoption of the entire report on pages 34-35, on Items 10-15, including the nominations. The entire report was adopted.

Hymn: Bishop Blackburn called for the singing of Hymn Number 348, "Lead On O King Eternal." It was done.

General Council on Ministries : Dr. N.W. Grant brought a report from the General Council on Ministries. Grant's report was accepted. (See Sec- tion V.)

Board of Church and Society Report: Bishop Blackburn called upon Mrs. J.O. Watson to present the report. She moved the adoption of the report as well as the resolution beginning on page 84 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976 concerning the funding of chap- lains for the North Carolina Division of Prisons. Mr. J.W. Hoyle of Sanford

162

stated that he was opposed to a state hiring chaplains. Rev. Bruce Pate responded that the funds were already depleted but that the state had five positions that had been mandated to be filled and that funds were now needed to help fill these positions and that funds were needed from private sources. The first resolution was moved, seconded and adopted The second resolution, supporting a criminal victim compensation act in the State of North Carolina, was moved, seconded and adopted. The third resolution was concerning the administration of jails in North Carolina. Judge Phil Carlton requested that this be amended by having a copy of the resolution sent to the Boards of County Commissioners in the counties of the NC Conference. Rev. Joe Mann of Raleigh wondered if this could be for the whole state of North Carolina and not just for the NC Confer- ence. This was accepted by Judge Carlton. Grier Garrick wished the word- ing of the first paragraph to be changed to read "The administration of 'some jails..." This was accepted. Rev. Michael R. McCoy proposed the following: "Be it further resolved that the NC Conference call upon the state to establish and maintain uniform standards for its jails." Mrs. B.C. Langston spoke against the McCoy amendment. The amendment was defeated. Rev. P.D. Midgett offered this amendment: "Be it further resolved that local churches work to effect change where such is needed." It was adopted. The body of the resolution as amended was adopted. The final resolution from the Board of Church and Society concerning the humanization of Prisons in North Carolina was moved, seconded and adopted. This concluded the report of the Board of Church and Society. The Bishop expressed thanks to Mrs. Watson.

Resolutions from the Cabinet Concerning Nominations to Conference Agencies: Bishop Blackburn called upon Rev. James H. Miller to present the following: "Resolved:

1 . If any person is nominated inadvertently to serve on two agencies where membership is limited to one, that the Cabinet be given authority to make the necessary corrections.

2. In order to insure representation of youth, women and ethnic minorities on each program agency, that the Conference Council on Ministries be given the authority to select members-at-large.

3. That no board, agency, commission or committee shall be allowed to add to their membership or add any consultants without first having them approved by the Executive Committee of the Conference Council on Ministries."

Rick Bryant of Tarboro asked that the words "young adult" be inserted after "youth" and it was accepted by the Cabinet. The Cabinet resolutions were moved, seconded and adopted and so ordered.

Nominations: The nominations to general boards and agencies and Conference boards and agencies were distributed.

Announcements : Secretary James Coile made announcements.

Presentation of Nominations: Rev. James Miller went over the nomi- nations page by page. Explanations and corrections were made. Rev. Clay Smith made a statement of concern about the nominations on page 28 to the Jurisdictional Conference for election to general boards. Smith

163

lay women's positions, there were too many general conterence delegates and there were too many people from large churches. He felt that others should be noted, particularly those from small churches. Bishop Black- burn stated that he did not believe this was the intent of the Cabinet, but that in order to get people nominated on the Jurisdictional level to the gen- eral boards they would have to have a certain visibility throughout the Southeast in order to gain attention. Rev. John Cline rose to speak to the same issue and stated that time and again people were suggested, but when they were not known to the Cabinet, it was felt that they also would not be known to the nominating agency at Jurisdictional Conference and there- fore they were replaced by someone with higher visibility. Bishop Black- burn opened the floor for nominations. John Brooks of Raleigh nominated a young layman for the position of layman nominee for the Board of Discipleship. Judge Phil Carlton was nominated.

Motion: Rick Bryant made the following motion: "The 1972 General Conference of the United Methodist Church passed legislation as follows: (804.3) 'not less than 20 percent of the total membership of each board shall be under 31 years of age with not less than 13 percent between the ages of 18 and 30, not less than 7 percent age 17 or under at the time of election.' The 1976 Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference will take place this July at Lake Junaluska at which time elections to the general boards and agencies will occur. In order for the youth and young adults of the NC Conference to have representation on these boards, we believe that it is imperative that this Conference send youth/young adult recom- mendations to the Jurisdictional Conference. Therefore, I move that that session of the North Carolina Annual Conference accept the recommenda- tions of the Youth/Young Adult Caucus of this Conference as its recom- mendations of youth and young adults for the general boards and agen- cies."

Rev. Charles Mercer spoke to the motion of Steve Banks "That we sub- mit a slate of youth and young adult delegates for nomination to general boards and agencies at Lake Junaluska during Jurisdictional Conference." Mercer explained that the nominees proposed by Rick Bryant would need to go through a separate route. The Bryant motion that a slate be sub- mitted was approved. These names were distributed to the Conference in mimeographed form and will be submitted to the Jurisdictional Con- ference for election in a separate category.

Also nominated under the youth/young adult category for the Board of Discipleship was David Harvin.

Discussion : The discussion between Banks, Mercer and the Bishop came to an impasse and the Bishop ruled that the time of adjournment was at hand in order that people might make their special dinners and be back for the evening service of worship. It was further agreed that the Con- ference would reconvene for a business session following the evening ser- vice of worship.

Benediction: The benediction was pronounced by Bishop Blackburn and the postlude was played as the Conference adjourned until 7:00 o'clock.

The anthem, "The Lord Is In This Place," by Lloyd Pfautsch, was sung by the combined church choirs under the direction of Roger Searles, Organist/Director of Music at St. Paul UM Church in Goldsboro. Bishop Blackburn then introduced Dr. Er- nest T. Campbell, pastor of Riverside Church, New York, for the second in a series of three Conference sermons. Dr. Campbell dynamically spoke on the theme of "The Expansion of a Great Faith," beginning with the idea of having faith as a mustard seed. Following the sermon, announcements were made by Bishop Blackburn along with appropriate expressions of ap- preciation. The Offertory, "America, the Beautiful," was sung by the com- bined church choirs. After the benediction by Bishop Blackburn the choirs sang the Choral Response, "The Lord Bless You and Keep You," a Peter Lutkin arrangement.

Recess: Bishop Blackburn announced a brief recess before reconvening the Conference for business.

Conference Reconvened : Bishop Blackburn gaveled the Conference in- to business session at 9:00 p.m. and explained the parliamentary predicament in which we found ourselves in an attempt to elect nominees. He emphasized that these were nominees to a higher body which would be thrown into a pool of nominees. He further stated the necessity of some continuity of people on both the General and Jurisdictional boards and agencies. Paul Bunn rose to add a word of clarification, that clergy persons could nominate lay persons and lay persons could nominate clergy persons. The Bishop agreed.

Charles Mercer arose to explain the problem caused by the election of youth and youth adult delegates and the problem of proportional representation by age. He reiterated that these would be chosen from a separate pool across the Jurisdiction.

Motion: Rev. Rod Randolph moved that the Rick Bryant motion (made at the afternoon session) be withdrawn and stated that this was done in agreement with Bryant and Harvin who had made the first motion. He explained that the other paper could be proposed at a later time and it would accomplish the intent that Bryant wanted.

Point of Order: Rev. Rufus Stark stated that we were discussing the original Nominations and we should continue with the Nominations and take up the Youth or Bryant Motion later.

Motion : Rev. Helen Crotwell moved to reconsider the motion of Charles M. Smith to reconsider the nominations of members for the boards, com- missions and committees of the NC Annual Conference. The motion lost.

Motion: Rev. Malloy Owen moved "that the Conference approve the appointment of the Cabinet nominations to the Boards, Commissions and Committees of the NC Annual Conference, without nominations from the floor." There was a second. The Owen Motion was defeated. Reginald Ponder asked for the right to make any nominations they wished at this time without going through it page by page.

The report was corrected and was moved for confirmation, seconded and adopted.

Hite spoke to the mandate of the last Annual Conference to consolidate the boards of Trustees of Louisburg, NC Wesleyan and Methodist Colleges.

He stated that the Division found that there was no legal interdependence between the colleges and the Conference or between the colleges them- selves and there appeared to be no legal way to do this without substantive changes in their charters.

Kenneth Hite announced that the Blackburn Scholarship Fund had grown to $13,500 and he considered this an expression of love and appre- ciation for the work of the Blackburns as they conclude their first quad- rennium with the North Carolina Annual Conference. The Conference responded with arousing applause and a standing ovation. The Bishop responded with thanks and affection. Bishop Blackburn expressed the love and appreciation of Mary Jeanne Blackburn and he expressed thanks for the support and prayers of the entire Conference and communicated the fact that Mary Jeanne Blackburn had spoken with him on the phone that morning to express her affection for the Conference.

Leatherman requested Bishop Blackburn to come and stand with him as he read a resolution of appreciation in honor of Bishop burn. The resolution was a request to the Jurisdictional Conference to reassign Bishop Blackburn to the Raleigh Area. McCallum said that this was the most important report that could come out of Jurisdictional Con- ference. The resolution was adopted by a standing ovation. (See Section V.)

Suspension of the Rules: Judge Phil Carlton moved suspension of the Rules so the resolution requesting Bishop Blackburn's reassignment could be formally adopted. It was so moved and done and the Conference again stood to recognize acceptance of the resolution. Harold Leatherman led in a prayer of affirmation of the resolution and a specific prayer for Bishop Blackburn and his family. Bishop Blackburn responded with moving words of appreciation and thanksgiving.

Fisher gave the report from the Duke Endowment indicating that over one and a half million dollars had been spent in Rural North Carolina for causes as determined by The Endowment. These have both spiritually and materially strengthened the Church. $467,000 went to rural church building programs. Fisher expressed regrets that Dr. Wilson Nesbitt could

168

not be present and then recognized Dr. Robert L. Wilson of the Ormond Research Center for his report. Wilson emphasized the information gathering work of the Center in order to help churches understand them- selves. Rev. Cliff Shoaf, Director of Field Education for the Divinity School, was then recognized for remarks. Shoaf reported that 58 students would be serving in local churches this summer. This program, along with the Ormond Research Center and the investigative and research services offered therein and the Duke Endowment, providing financial under- girding, constitutes a three-pronged approach to help the Church in the North Carolina Conference. Fisher requested that all ministers and laity call upon these agencies for help.

Report of Board of Publications: Rev. A.F. Fisher spoke on behalf of the North Carolina Christian Advocate. Fisher explained the traumatic experience of changing from the Piedmont Press to Emporium. He stated that Emporium was not able to sustain payments and the final sale of the equipment to Media, Incorporated had been accomplished. Emporium purchased the right to retain the name of the Piedmont Press and any references to tax matters against that institution are against the former Emporium Corporation and not against what was once the Conference's Press. Rev. Alison Simonton was introduced as the new editor of the Advocate. Fisher presented him as one with great credentials in the field

of Evangelism as well as Journalism and stated that he feels that this com- bination will make for a great new Advocate. Simonton responded with humility and appreciation for the opportunity to be editor of the North Carolina Christian Advocate and recognized his predecessors. Simonton outlined his program for moving throughout both conferences and pro- moting the Advocate by preaching in churches from Murphy to Manteo every Sunday. He stated that he wished to be an editor out in the field and was prepared to do his best in reporting and editing and publishing the best possible Advocate to serve our church in mission today. Simonton asked that we look at pages 78 and 79 in The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976 with the hope that these recommendations would be passed so that the Advocate might try to put itself on a self-sustaining basis. The recommendations 1 through 10 on pages 78-79 were adopted.

Announcements : James Coile made announcements.

Motion: Rev. Harvey Lowrey moved "that a task force on the Native American Church be appointed by the Bishop in consultation with a com- mittee of Native Americans and immediately after this 1976 Annual Conference to identify the needs of the Native American Church and to make appropriate recommendations thereof to the Conference Council on Ministries."

170

portunity and that they cease and desist all political activity on the floor of the Conference, the halls and surrounding this auditorium and all halls and meeting places being used by this Conference." It was so ordered by the Conference.

Greetings from Scarritt College : Rev. James I. Warren brought words of greetings from Scarritt College. He told the delegates that Scarritt belongs to this Conference as much as to any other Conference.

Commission on Religion and Race: Bishop Blackburn called on Rev. Preston Jones to make the report for the Commission. Jones expressed the purpose of the Commission and recognized the members of the Com- mission who had served in the past years. He emphasized the necessity for continued vigilance and affirmative actions toward a Christian attitude toward racial inclusiveness throughout the Conference. Jones's message was an exhortation in inclusiveness which included several program recom- mendations that had already been passed by the Council on Ministries. Mr. Jones's report was accepted and then he introduced Dr. Bob Osborn to present a document entitled, "The Wilmington Ten." Osborn stated that he had hoped to present this document but that at this time he did not feel that the presentation of the document would be appropriate and he wished now to withdraw the document rather than to present it or speak to it. Dr. Osborn was allowed to withdraw the document which had been previously distributed to the delegates.

Report of the Task Force on the Black Church : Bishop Blackburn presented Rev. Rufus H. Stark II to present the report of the Task Force. Stark indicated that one of the positive spirits of the Conference and the work of the Task Force has been such things as Rev. Preston Jones's being appointed to a previously "white" church in Raleigh : Cokesbury. He felt this was a great affirmation of how churches were increasingly feeling open and accepting the joy of what openness means. A summary of the action of the 1976 General Conference in regard to the Task Force was given. Stark requested that the name of the Task Force be changed to "The Task Force on Ethnic Minorities."

Before adoption of the report ; Mercer moved question the formation of additional Task Forces that were not related to the Council on Ministries. The Bishop clarified that the changing of the title of a Task Force was not necessarily a commitment by the Conference if they voted in favor of the report. The Stark report was adopted.

Point of Personal Privilege: Stark rose to a point of personal privilege to add to the report of the Bolivian Mission Team.

Motion: Mrs. Tomlinson, Cherry Point Church, made the following motion: "I move that all reports in the book of recommendations and those distributed to the delegates not be read verbatum." It was passed.

Point of Personal Privilege: Rev. Langill Watson rose to request that the Rules be suspended in order that Dr. Robert Osborn be allowed to speak for several minutes. Watson stated that this would correct a somewhat erroneous impression that the Conference had left with Dr. Osborn and Rev. Preston Jones. The time was granted for seven minutes for Dr. Osborn to make his presentation.

Report of Committee on Communications: Rev. John Hobbs gave the

171

report and moved Item 26, under H on page 37 of The Conference Program, and Recommendations, 1976. It was approved.

Committee on Interpretation: Rev. Reginald Ponder spoke concerning the Committee on Interpretation and indicated that now it was put under a greater structure and was eliminated, but he did feel that in the past four years they had worked definitively with John Meares in accomplishing a good program of publicizing the causes of the church and the ministry of Jesus Christ around the world.

Committee on Church Architecture : Rev. Kelly J. Wilson, Jr., spoke to the work of the Committee on Church Architecture and indicated that the services of the Committee had been offered to churches throughout the Conference. He pointed out that there was no requirement that a church consult the Committee on Church Architecture but simply a service that was being offered to those in the process of planning or building.

Report of the Commission on the Status and Role of Women : Bishop Blackburn introduced Mrs. Sam A. Dunn to present the report. The report was adopted with appreciation. (See Reports, Section V.)

Report of the Committee on Parsonage Standards: Mrs. James A. Auman brought the report. Mrs. Auman stated that they had studied the attitudes toward the parsonages with the help of the Ormond Center and Dr. Robert Wilson and compiled a booklet which had been distributed. The second project was the compilation of a guide to the building and fur- nishing of parsonages and it has been distributed for the past two years. Mrs. Auman referred to the importance of each parsonage family's being good stewards of the property that they inhabit, keeping it clean and passing it on in good condition. This concluded her report and it was adopted without dissent.

Division of Stewardship: Rev. John T. Maides was presented by Bishop Blackburn to lead in the presentation of the report of the Division of Stewardship. Maides spoke to the priority of tithing as being supreme in the work of the Division. Maides stated that he believes in planning a program of stewardship, that goes on all year long. He sees the necessity of encouraging planning for the tithing type of stewardship that is necessary to undergird the work of our Conference and in a more far-reaching sense the work of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Maides recognized Rev. C.F. Grill who spoke first of the program put on at Duke in connection with the Western North Carolina Conference con- cerning the Bicentennial of Methodism of the Carolina Circuit. Then he spoke to the employment on March 31, of Dr. Jerald Pierce to represent the agencies of the church and the local church in terms of helping them establish patterns of constructive and cooperative giving. Dr. Pierce works out of an office in his home and yet works throughout the local churches across the Conference to interpret the needs of our agencies and of our churches and works with people in the organization of local committees on Wills. Grill expressed the hope that Jerry Pierce will become a household name in Estate Planning in Eastern North Carolina. Grill presented Pierce to the Conference as Director of Deferred Giving. Pierce expressed his hope that all the delegates had seen the exhibits in the Student Union Building and further expressed his delight as he entered upon this new

172

work in the Conference. He spoke to the purpose of Deferred Giving as a means of keeping instructions from withering on the vine in the future as they are endowed in the present. He asked for the opportunity to offer his assistance to each of the members of our Conference. Bishop Blackburn accepted Dr. Pierce's remarks and the report from The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976 was adopted.

Report of the Council on Finance and Administration: Bishop Black- burn recognized Owen Fitzgerald to present the report because of the ab- sence of the Chairperson.

Missional Priorities Fund, $78,205 Mass Communications Fund, $1 1 ,375 The Council on Finance and Administration recommends that these funds be apportioned separately to the charges on the same formula as the Ministerial Education Fund, Black College Fund, and In- terdenominational Cooperation Fund. The council reviewed and approves the proposal of the Board of Trustees of the Methodist Retirement Home to sell bonds to finance permanent loan for the Health Care Center in Durham and the new Retirement Home in Lumberton providing there shall be no solicitation through local churches except for sale of the bonds. The Council on Finance and Administration nominates Charles K. McAdams as Treasurer-Business Administrator for the quadrennium, 1977-80. Fitzgerald pointed out that the Conference had already elected McAdams treasurer.

Motion: H. Langill Watson moved that the Mass Communication Fund of $11,375 be included in the Single Askins. Reginald Ponder spoke in favor of the Watson Amendment. W.M. Jeffries moved to include the Missional Priorities Fund in the Single Figure. Kermit Braswell spoke in favor of placing both the Communications and Missional Priorities Funds in the Single Figure. Ponder spoke in favor of the Jeffries amendment. The question was called on the Jeffries amendment and 257 for the amend- ment.

Jack Crum asked that the resolution be tabled for a year. The motion to table lost. Bob Wallace offered an amendment to the resolution adding at the end the words "with the present members." It was seconded. Ted Carter spoke against the amendment, expressing the feeling that the Con- ference was too "hung up" on placing a black person in the Methodist Building. Stark said this was not the case but that it had been difficult to find the right person. Ponder offered a substitute to the Wallace motion, the addition of the words "by the addition of not more than one staff person." It was seconded and Grier Garrick said he would accept the sub- stitute. Bob McKenzie moved the previous question on all that was before us. The previous question was called.

Such a pastor may be reinstated at any time upon returning to full-time ministerial status." The Committee on Equitable salaries accept- ed this without vote. Clyde Cheezem under Section B of I wanted to re- move the term "$800" and change it to $1500. The Cheezem amendment was withdrawn. Denny Wise asked what the projected cost in the increase in equitable salaries would be to the Conference. Bailey answered that he did not know. Wise moved that we defer action on the report for one year to see the effect on the Conference budget. It was seconded. Fisher spoke to try and clarify the issues involved. The Wise motion was withdrawn. Langill Watson called the previous question on all that was before us and the Report on Equitable Salaries was adopted.

Call for Ballot: The Bishop explained the problems involved in taking the ballot to vote on additional nominees for the Conference offices and boards and agencies. He explained the process by which the Cabinet's nominating committee had spent nearly the entire year preparing the nominations. The Bishop called for corrections to be made to the nomina- tions as required by certain changes in the structure as mandated by the 1976 General Conference. Each District Superintendent did this in turn.

Motion: George Forehand of Burlington brought a motion to change the structure of the Division of Lay Life and Work. He read the motion as follows: "That the structure of the Conference Division of Lay Life and Work be:? 1. The Conference Lay Leader, 2. The Conference President of United Methodist Women, 3. The Conference President of United Methodist Men, 4. The Conference President of United Methodist Youth, 5. Each District Lay Leader, 6. One Adult Layman from each district, 7. One Adult Laywoman from each district, 8. One Youth or Young Adult from each district (The names above plus three representatives to be submitted to the Conference Nominating Committee by the District Committee on Lay Life and Work and at least one of the three from each district shall be a member of the District Committee on Lay Life and Work.) 9. One Cabinet member, 10. One Staff representative. It was seconded.

Point of Order: Rev. Sam McMillan called a Point of Order, asking if a change in structure should lay on the table for 24 hours. Secretary Coile responded that it had been before the Conference for more than 24 hours and was an amendment to a motion that was made the day before. In order to avoid technical difficulties, the Bishop asked for a suspension of the Rules and the Conference ordered same. The Forehand motion was adopted.

176

Taking of the Ballot: Bishop Blackburn called on James Coile to dis- tribute and explain the Ballot. Coile made suggestions regarding the collection of the Ballot, to permit it to remain flat and unfolded. This was moved, adopted and directed by the Conference.

After distribution of the four pages of the Ballot, an explanation of each page was made by Secretary Coile. After collection by the Tellers, the Ballot was duly declared closed by Bishop Robert M. Blackburn, President of the Conference.

Motion to Reconsider: Rev. C. Wade Goldston moved to reconsider the report of the Commission on Equitable Salaries found on page 50, The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976. It was seconded and ordered reconsidered by the conference. Goldston then made the following motion: "To Item 6, page 50, add the words 'Exceptions to this rule may be permitted by approval of the Executive Committee of the Commission on Equitable Salaries on recommendations of the District Superintendent of the pastor who is seeking, for emergency reasons, employment outside that of his church ministry.' " Rev. James H. Bailey stated that the Com- mission would accept the Goldston amendment and it would be added to the report by the secretary.

Motion: Tim Langford presented the following motion: "We, the members of the Youth/Young Adult Caucus, feel that older adults should be recognized for their uniqueness and special concerns. We propose that a Task Force within the Conference Division of Education be organized to program for older adult ministries. The Task Force shall have member composition from the older adult audience and other persons selected by the Executive Committee of the Conference Division of Education ; it shall be organized by October 1, 1976." It was seconded. It was adopted.

Report of the Board of Pensions: Bishop Blackburn presented L. Mer- ritt Jones to present the report which appears in The Conference Program and Recommendation, 1976, on pages 70-77. These were moved. Jones recognized Rev. Kermit Wheeler who made corrections in years of service for some conference ministers. Wheeler spoke to the matter at hand. (For full text and corrections, see Section V in the Journal.) The report was seconded and adopted by the Conference.

Report of the Committee on Insurance: Rev. Paul Boone presented the report, beginning in The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, on pages 59 through 63. The report was adopted by the Conference.

Report of the Committee on Parish Travel: Bishop Blackburn recog- nized William Cable to present the report. The report on pages 82-83 of The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, was placed before the Conference.

Motion: Rev. Sam McMillan made the following motion: "Amend the Committee on Parish Travel Report, last paragraph under Item 2 to read 'between January 1, 1976 and May 31.' " The committee accepted the change without question.

Motion: Rev. W.D. Sabiston III moved that the Conference "change the amount in the report to read '15c per mile for the first 15,000 miles and 12c per mile for all above.' " Sabiston stated that the purpose of his motion was to cause the formula to continue to match the Internal Rev-

177

enue Service Formula. Cable explained that this was a philosophy and not a requirement and that the committee did not feel that after one year it was time to try and change an amount that was already considered exces- sive by many. E.R. Porter spoke in favor of the Sabiston motion. Bishop Blackburn inquired if the Conference would accept the Sabiston motion as an addition to the report rather than as a substitute. Al Fisher requested the privilege of the floor, stating that he felt that it was in order to be an amendment rather than a substitute. The Bishop ruled that it was an amendment and it was adopted. The report of the Committee on Parish Travel was adopted as amended.

Report of the Commission on Archives and History: Rev. Lawrence Lugar, substituted for the chairman, Ralph Hardee Rives, and presented the report of the Commission. He commended the Conference for their participation in the Bicentennial Celebration of the Carolina Circuit. He expressed thanks for churches that brought their banners to place them on display in the Student Union Building. Lugar displayed the copy of the Conference Historical Directory that had been provided each church and the book, Methodism Alive in North Carolina. He emphasized that these books which had been presented to the churches should remain with the church as a permanent record. The report of the Commission was accepted as information by the Conference. The Conference Secretary, James Coile, presented to Lugar a copy of the Minutes of the Bicentennial Conference from both the North Carolina Conference and the Western North Carolina Conference with appropriate expressions with the under- standing that Lugar would preserve these Minutes and turn them over to his successors in office.

Committee on Resolutions and References: The material on pages 86-89 in The Conference Program and Recommendations, 1976, was reported and nonconcurrance was recommended. The question was called and nonconcurrance was approved for that report.

The Committee on Conference Entertainment : Dr. Thomas A. Collins brought the report. Collins stressed that, while we appreciate the colleges' extending themselves to host Annual Conferences, nevertheless the Com- mittee was always willing to consider requests from churches to host the Annual Conference Session. He recognized Dr. Pearce, President of Methodist College. Pearce extended an invitation to the conference to meet at Methodist College again in 1977.

Motion : Rev. Frank Lloyd moved the suspension of the Rules so that the person receiving the highest number of votes would be elected, even though there was not a clear majority.

Substitute Motion: Rev. Langill Watson proposed the following: "I move a substitute to the Lloyd motion, that the rules be suspended to vote any run-off election by a show of hands, to enable election to be by ma- jority vote." The substitute motion by Watson passed and replaced the Lloyd motion.

Bicentennial Session

A Joint Session of the North Carolina Conference and the Western North Carolina Conference held at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday, April 3, 1976, at 10:00 A.M.

Bishops Robert M. Blackburn and Earl G. Hunt, Jr., called to order a joint session of the North Carolina Conference and the Western North Carolina Conference. The two conferences met in joint session to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States, the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Carolina Circuit in North Carolina, and the 50th anniver- sary of the founding of Duke University. The call to order came after the processional of peoples representing the various segments of the two con- ferences. Dr. Terry L. Sanford, president of Duke University, welcomed the two conferences to Duke University and led in prayer.

Dr. Thomas A. Langford, Dean of the Divinity School at Duke Univer- sity led the congregation in a litany prepared especially for this occasion.

The Reverend Robert Young, Chaplain of Duke University, explained the order of worship for the day. Reverend Young introduced two men who have helped plan the joint session-celebration: Dr. James Hull and Dr. Kirk McNeil.

Reverend Young announced that Mrs. Mary Jeanne Blackburn, wife of Bishop Blackburn had been returned to the hospital at Duke Medical Center. Prayer by the two conferences was held for her. (Editor's note: Mrs. Blackburn had surgery in 1975 for the removal of a malignant brain tumor.)

An offering was received as the Duke Chapel Choir sang "Sanctus" by Gounod. The choir was led by J. Benjamin Smith.

Mrs. Norman C. Cooper presented to Bishop Blackburn, Bishop Hunt, and Dean Langford, needlepoint portrayals of The Logo, the official symbol of this Bicentennial Celebration.

Thomas Moore sang the hymn, "How Great Thou Art." The congre- gation joined in the singing of the chorus.

The two bishops welcomed the Confirmation Classes that came to the Session from churches all over the two conferences. Bishop Hunt then addressed the classes and the conferences on the meaning of commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bishop Blackburn then spoke on our commemoration of our heritage, and reminded us that our heritage has not diminished.

The Bishops led the conferences in a Litany, which reminded us of the need for strength of Christ in our lives. At the end of the Litany, the

181

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" was sung by the conferences. The trumpets in the background made one feel that indeed the glory of the Lord had been visited upon us in our celebration.

The Surry County Bluegrass Ensemble presented a melody of hymns. One of the hymns portrayed the work of the "circuit riding preacher."

Roland Mullinix served as the narrator for the program of celebration. The program was a multi-media presentation of "The Journey," a real and symbolic journey of God's activity and man's response.

Joseph Bethea portrayed the story of God's creation of the world and of man.

The next segment dealt with the call of Abraham and the nation of Israel and the deliverance of the nation of Israel out of bondage in Egypt.

Other Biblical heroes of Israel were named: Deborah, Samuel, David, Elijah, Hosea, Jeremiah, Second Isaiah.

The coming of Christ was called "the word made flesh." The incarnat- ion was interpreted in song and dance and the singing by the conferences of the hymn "Amen, Amen."

The history of the church was traced from the first to the eighteenth century. The roll of the saints was called as two robed figures held candles on stage.

Symbols and cathederals of the church's traditions were used in the multi-media presentation. A banner of John Wesley on horseback was shown and explained. The life of Wesley was narrated in monologue with interpretive dance as a background. Reggie Cooke closed this section by singing "A Man Named Wesley Passed This Way."

The conferences stood and sang "O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing."

The life of Francis Asbury was narrted and portrayed. He was called "the prophet of the long road." The life of the circuit was included in the portrayal of Asbury's work. This section ended with the Bluegrass En- semble's playing a song entitled "North Carolina, The Goodliest Land Under the Cope of Heaven."

The history of the church in America was related. The conference then recessed for a picnic lunch on the grounds. The conference stood and sang the "Doxology."

AFTERNOON SESSION:

The afternoon session began with a concert by the N.C. A. and T. State University Fellowship Gospel Chorus. The Chorus was directed by Yvonne Smith.

Reverend Robert Young made announcements.

As the members of the conferences and visitors had reentered the stadium for the afternoon session, each was given a small piece of rock. Roland Mullinix, narrator for the program, asked if all had a rock. Those who did not were then given one.

The Carolina Circuit Troupe sang "We're Marching to Zion." This segment of the presentation portrayed the Camp Meeting Scene. Gerry Van Hoy Barker accompanied the presentation on the dulcimer. A brief history of the various camp grounds across the state was narrated. Miss Barker sang "Where Will I Shelter My SheepTonight?"

182

The Carolina Circuit Troupe sang "Amazing Grace" with Lou Verna Moses as soloist. An interpretive dance accompanied the song.

Donald E. Byrne, Jr., enacted a part of the program called "No Foot of Land." He shared some of the stories of the Methodist itinerants.

The next segment of the program dealt with the divisions that have occurred in Methodism in the past two centuries. The N.C. A and T. State University Gospel Chorus sang "Look-A How Dey Done My Lord," accompanied by an interpretive dance. To emphasize the division caused by slavery, Thomas Moore and the N.C. A. and T. Chorus sang "Oh Freedom."

The emphasis that Methodism has placed on Higher Education was portrayed . The roll of the Methodist Colleges in the state was called :

Louisburg, Pfeiffer,

Brevard, Methodist,

Bennett, N.C. Wesleyan, and

Greensboro, Duke.

High Point,

The founding of Duke University was detailed and a brief history of it was given.

Tribute was paid to the influence of Native Americans (commonly called Indians) in Methodism and North Carolina. A hymn "The Lone Wild Bird" was sung with Brenda Ferrell, soloist, and Mark Hyde did the interpretive dance.

The 1939 union was celebrated. The Carolina Circuit Troupe sang the "Halleluiah Chorus." The conferences stood.

An audio visual showing the 200 years of tragedy was shown, to remind us that all is still not well in this land. We were reminded that we are "God's people on the way." The conferences were challenged to be the church "redemptive and crucified" for all mankind. Melinda Wilkinson sang "If We Only Have Love." An audio visual presentation showed the various areas in which love is necessary if the church is to be the church.

Dean Langford of the Divinity School expressed appreciation to the committee who prepared the bicentennial celebation. Dean Langford presented Bishop Taylor and Bishop Allen.

Dean Langford explained the rock that had been given to each. The rock is the symbol of "Jesus Christ the cornerstone." It also represents the forefathers, the foundation of the church. The rock reminds us of our heritage, our today, and the future.

Bishop Blackburn and Bishop Hunt adjourned the joint session of the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences.

DR.JOHNCLINE

John Cline was born near Belwood, North Carolina, February 4, 1892, the son of David Maxwell and Sarah Amanda Carpenter Cline. He died in his 84th year, June 20, 1975, at the Methodist Retirement Home in Durham after many years of declining health. Funeral services were con- ducted June 22, 1975 at the Carthage United Methodist Church, Carth- age, North Carolina, by the pastor, the Rev. David L. Moe, Bishop Robert M. Blackburn, and the writer, a former pastor of the Carthage church.

In 1917, Dr. Cline received the A.B. degree from Trinity College. On October 2nd of that year, he was married to Kitty Alda Plott," who sur- vives him. To that union were born three children who also survive: Kitty Ida (Mrs. J. Findley Cox) of Richmond, Virginia; John Maxwell, district superintendent of the Rocky Mount District of the North Carolina An- nual Conference; and Sarah Evelyn (Mrs. Herman Roach) of Lexington, North Carolina. Also surviving are his sisters, Mrs. Irene Moseley of Simpsonville, South Carolina; Mrs. Madge Young of Taylors ville, North Carolina; Mrs. Sue Robinson of Columbia, South Carolina; Mrs. Edith Herter of Newton, North Carolina; and a brother, G.B. Cline of Goldsboro, North Carolina.

In the fall of 1917, Dr. Cline was admitted to the Western North Carolina Conference. He served the following appointments: Ansonville, Webster-Cullowee, Lewisville, Forsyth Circuit, Glen Alpine, Cool Springs Circuit, Troutman, Thomasville Circuit, and Proxmity Church, Greensboro. In 1936, he transferred to the North Carolina Conference. He served Fifth Avenue, Wilmington. In 1939, he went to Branson Memorial in Durham, which he served to 1945. While in Durham, he studied at the Duke University Graduate School, and he received the A.M. degree in 1940, his thesis being a history of the first 25 years of The South Atlantic Quarterly. While serving at Carthage (1945-1950), he completed the requirements for the doctor of philosophy degree at Duke. The degree was awarded in 1948, his dissertation being on Hawthorne and the Bible.

It was during his Carthage pastorate that Dr. Cline fell victim to Parkinson's Disease which forced him into an early retirement in 1950. He and his beloved Kitty made their home in Carthage until early 1974

246

when they moved to the Methodist Retirement Home in Durham. After his retirement, Dr. Cline was named as minister emeritus of the Carthage United Methodist Church.

During his many years in Carthage, Dr. Cline remained active in civic affairs as long as he was able, being an active member of the Masonic Lodge and the Rotary Club. He maintained a faithful and regular at- tendance at the worship services of the church up through the summer of 1973, even though he had to be carried into the church for a period of several years.

It was this writer's privilege to have served the Carthage Church from 1969 until 1974, and during those years to come to know and to love Dr. Cline, not only as a brother in the ministry, but as a valued neighbor and friend only two doors away. Dr. John Cline was the most beloved minister ever to serve the Carthage Church, and whenever anyone in that pleasant community referred to "the preacher," they meant Dr. Cline. Indeed he was "the preacher," "the pastor," "the minister" to that whole com- munity.

Pallbears at the funeral were six stalwart men from the Carthage Church, six of the finest Christian laymen this writer has been privileged to know, six Christian gentlemen, all of whom, testify to the impact and influence of Dr. Cline's life and ministry upon their lives — Laverne B. Womack, Rudolph Womack, J. Howard Myrick, W.B. ("Webb") Davis, Judson K. Rea, III, and Walter H. Spivey.

It is indeed singular that since Dr. Cline first came to Carthage, four ministers of the Gospel have come from the Carthage Church, one of whom will be admitted to our conference in 1976. These men will give beautiful testimony to Dr. Cline's witness and influence.

Dr. Cline was a man in whom vital piety and sound learning were com- bined in a creative way. He was a man of prayer, an eloquent and sound preacher of His Master's Word. His worship for a Lord whom he regard- ed as the Author of Truth inspired him to seek the truth, and to pro- claim the truth in both his life and his scholarship. His master's thesis contains what many regard as the best account of that landmark event in the effort to keep free the search for truth that is protected by academic freedom, the well known Bassett case at Trinity College in the early 1900's.

His piety and scholarship manifest itself in the creative work of his poetry. His church bulletins were enhanced by his own poetry, some of which was collected in a volume entitled The Lights of Home.

Dr. Cline suffered a great deal from his ill health. Yet, he maintained his sunny disposition and ready wit. The last few years found it almost impossible for him to speak; yet his smile, and the friendly twinkle in his clear blue eyes spoke volumes in care, concern, and compassion.

He wrote himself:

The sun has set, the light is gone; The plans I made in early dawn

Fade into broken dreams. Is this the end, or will life smile

247

And loved ones speak to me, the while New morning beams?

Yes, rosy light will kiss these eyes, And breezes fresh from waking skies

Will whisper in these ears; New plans will come for work and praise Life will go on in grander ways,

All free from fears.

Past days of pain will leave my mind Their bitter tears no longer blind,

Within God's sunrise glow ; Tonight I'll trust the dawn to see, Have dear ones walk again with me —

Then we shall know!

Dr. Cline always maintained the highest ideals and standards. At his funeral was read the passage from Phillippians 4:8: "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." This was Dr. Cline's life among us — reminding us of this. The Interpreter's Bible points out that the word "think" is not a strong enough English trans- lation; thus commentators have said that we think about these things in the sense that we are calculating the cost of committing ourselves to these things in life and action. This is what Dr. Cline sought to do.

In the inspiring song from the play, "Man of La Mancha," that has come to be known as "The Impossible Dream" are the words:

To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe. . . To run where the brave dare not go, To right the unrightable wrong. . . To try, when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest, to follow that star,

No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,

To fight for the right without question or pause,

To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause!

And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable stars.

Dr. John Cline, in spite of a helpless and hopeless physical condition, covered with the scars of much suffering, still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars — he lived a life calculated to

248

count the cost of committing himself to whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious, and excellent. Such a life inspired us who knew him because he sought to show us Jesus Christ, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. This makes us persuaded that the sting of death is erased, and helps us know that we can be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord which is never in vain! Hallelujah!

He was interested in Christian Higher Education, too, and was instrumental in the significant advancement of the North Carolina Annual Conference in this area.

His avocational interests included spectator sports, gardening, travel, and music.

At the time of his death, I wrote the following words to the people of St. Luke Church:

William Stanley Potter no longer stands with us, but he has left us a legacy which I would like to mention. First, he loved the Church. Though he was aware of its flaws, he believed in the Church as the mediating body of God's grace and Jesus' love. Second, he loved the people. Stanley Potter was a Pastor, a shepherd of the flock. No minister I have ever known was more attentive to the needs of people than he. Third, he loved his family. Dr. Potter was a family

250

man. His leisure activities revolved around his family. He received strength from them and they from him.

Now, in his hour of victory, he would say to us, "Love the Church! Love the people! Love your family!

As we honor his memory, may we embody his virtues.

HAROLD REYNOLD BEEDE

1905-1975

Harold Reynold Beede was born June 11, 1905 in Exeter, New Hamp- shire, the son of Herbert B. Beede and Harriet Brown Beede. He died in Raleigh on September 6, 1975. He felt the call to the Christian ministry in the Advent Christian Church and his first churches were the Advent Christian Church in Port Clyde, Maine and Athol, Massachusetts. (1926- 1929)

In 1929 he joined the New England Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church. He served churches in Lynn (1929-33) , Everett (1933-35), Medford (1935-42), Somerville (1942-48), Lowell (1948- 49), and Cambridge (1949-57), all in the State of Massachusetts. He served as a part of that conference until the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged with the Methodist Church to form the United Methodist Church in 1969. When he retired in 1970 he had served 41 years in the United Methodist connection plus 3 years as Advent Christian pastor, a total of 44 years active ministry.

Harold graduated from Berkshire Christian College in Boston in 1953. He continued his studies at Gordon -Con well Theological Seminary also in Boston. In 1954 Brother Beede received the appointment to become full time chaplain at Danvers State Hospital in Danvers, Massachusetts. Prior to this time he had been part time chaplain at two nearby hospitals, Mt. Auburn and Cambridge City Hospital. His competence was recognized in 1955 when he was named Fellow in the College of Chaplains of the American Protestant Hospital Association. He was a fully certified Chaplain Supervisor under the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. For many years he conducted a twelve week course in

251

Clinical Pastoral Training for seminary students and pastors. He was a part of the field staff of Gordon Divinity School, with students assigned to his supervision for clinical experience.

In 1964 a beautiful chapel and training center was dedicated at Dan- vers State Hospital, the first protestant chapel at a state institution in Massachusetts. Chaplain Beede was the person having prime respon- sibility for the inspiration of the idea, the obtaining of funds and the planning that led to the final construction. Chaplain Beede was highly respected in the field of clinical pastoral work. He was much in demand as a speaker and workshop leader in New England. Upon the occasion of his retirement in 1970, the Massachusetts Council of Churches presented Chaplain Beede with a beautiful illuminated citation stating in part : "Avid, warm, cheerful, dignified, generous, kind, resourceful, creative and capable are words used in describing Chaplain Beede by patients, fellow chaplains, associates in other healing disciplines, his students, and many others who have come to know him as their friend."

Brother Beed's first marriage was in 1926 to Clara Gillmore Morey of Whitman, Massachusetts. They had three children: Ruth M., now Mrs. Crandall L. Vail of Shawnee, Kansas; David E., of Reading, Massachusetts and Charles H., of East Brunswick, New Jersey. Clara Beede was afflicted with multiple sclerosis and was increasingly an invalid until her death.

Brother Beede remarried, this time to Ruth Stanton Lyerly, and two daughters by her earlier marriage were added to the family. They are: Ellen L., now Mrs. R.B. Barker of Hockessin, Delaware; and Melie L., now Mrs. E.M. Ablang of Elkton, Maryland.

In 1970 Harold Beede transferred his membership to the North Carolina Annual Conference and retired in Raleigh, N.C. He became part time Pastor for Visitation of Fairmont United Methodist Church, where he was a much beloved part of the fellowship. He taught regularly in the Wesley Bible Class of which he was a faithful member until the time of his death. During his retirement years he developed close per- sonal ties with fellow pastors in the Raleigh area. Many saw him as an ex- perienced friend with whom they could easily talk. His sure faith and love strengthened many of his brothers in times of stress.

In 1969, Brother Beede suffered a serious heart attack. He experienced good recovery and was able to be active until recurrence of the problem restricted him during the last year of his life. On September 4, 1975 he was stricken again and this time he sensed that he would not recover. Some three hours before his death he took my hand with firm grip and his magnificent smile shared with me the mighty confidence of his faith.

I officiated for his funeral at 11 : 00 A.M. on September 8 at Fairmont United Methodist Church. It was a time of genuine thanksgiving to God for the victorious spirit of his life. Burial was held at Montlawn Cemetery. Chaplain Beede's last class of students, in clinical pastoral education, prior to his retirement in 1970 presented him with a hand painted picture of his beloved chapel and a picture album. On the first page was written

252

these sentiments :

"Some men leave behind them brass plaques; others leave living

memorials."

The lives surrounding Harold Reynold Beede attest to the truth of these words.

RUSSELL H.CAUDILL

Russell Horton Caudill was born at Helton, North Carolina, May 8, 1901, the son of the Reverend James Wilson Caudill and Callie Weaver Caudill. He died October 23, 1975 in his home in Fuquay-Varina.

After graduation from high school at Jefferson, North Carolina, Mr. Caudill attended Trinity College of Duke University, where he graduated in 1927. He then enrolled in the Duke Divinity School and was graduated with the Bachelor of Divinity degree.

While at Trinity College and Duke Divinity School, Mr. Caudill served as Director of Swimming.

On February 16, 1924, Mr. Caudill and Miss Estelle Channell Rose of Seaboard, North Carolina, were married. Three children were born to this couple. They are Mrs. Wayne Peterson (Venita Estelle) of Mat- tapoisette, Massachusetts, James Russell Caudill, of Fuquay-Varina, and Chaplain Charles Clayton Caudill, of Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.

Mr. Caudill was admitted into the Western North Carolina Conference and ordained deacon at the session in Asheville, in 1931 . In 1933, he was ordained elder.

As the son of a Methodist preacher, Mr. Caudill had love for the Lord, love for others, and love for the family instilled in him in the parsonage home. There was an early indication of what his family meant to him when, in 1922, he wrote this poem about his father.

He it was who marked the pathway That our feet so soon must tread ; And we now shall try to follow In the way our Father led.

253

Papa preached the blessed gospel — Told the story of the Cross ; Tried to win some souls for Jesus ; Caring not the sum it cost.

Now may we as faithful children Tread the road that leads to fame; Takingjesus as our Savior, Be an honor to his name.

Mr. Caudill early came to know the Lord in a meaningful way, as his poem "Redemption" shows.

Out of the depth of sin and shame,

Dear Lord, I come to Thee. Thee, who hast promised to reclaim

Lord, wilt Thou pardon me.

From all the sin that binds my soul,

I now salvation seek. Lord, Jesus, speak and make me whole ;

Oh, wilt Thou only speak.

Could I but see with vision clear, The Spirit, Guide Divine!

Could I but know that Thou art near, And I forever Thine.

Thy precious promise I believe,

Thy Spirit's power I feel. My soul of Thee has been received

While at Thy cross I kneel.

As a pastor, Mr. Caudill's burning passion was to serve God and to serve men. It was generally known in communities that he served that he would do his very best to meet whatever need one might have. His family was never surprised to have hungry travelers join them for meals, or to see Mr. Caudill share clothes with people he thought needed them more.

Mr. Caudill was not just concerned with physical needs, however. He led many people to the Lord.

Often, he seemed to be prejudiced in favor of the underdog and the disadvantaged. And this often caused him and his family to be hurt.

He was a very simple man. He acquired few earthly possessions, and did not want them. His philosophy was: Don't worry about tomorrow; God will provide.

Mr. Caudill served the following appointments in the Western North Carolina Conference: Hot Springs; Biltmore Methodist Church,

254

Asheville; Central Terrace Methodist Church, Winston-Salem; and Smyre Station, Gastonia. He located in 1937, and moved to Durham. He lived and worked in the Durham area four years, and then moved to Wilmington, where he was Youth Director for the Y.M.C.A.

Mr. Caudill's first appointment in the North Carolina Conference was in 1947, when he was appointed to the Town Creek Methodist Church, Wilmington. His appointments in the North Carolina Conference were: Town Creek, 1947-1951; Princeton, 1951-1953; Clayton, 1953-1956; Westover, Raleigh, 1956-1959; East Rockingham, 1959-1962; Spring Lake, 1962-1966. He retired in 1966 and moved to Fuquay-Varina. After retirement, he preached briefly at Elizabeth Church, near Smithfield. Shortly after retirement, however, he suffered a stroke, and was confined to his bed most of the time, until his death in 1975.

DR. CHANCIE DeSHIELD BARCLIFT

1902-1975

A celebrated American clergyman, Joseph R. Sizoo, once declared that "those who live with a faith in the God of the incredible are always vin- dicated by history."

The life of Chancie DeShield Barclift bears him out! God worked in the life of an ordinary country boy from Perquimans County and molded him into "the Master's man." This extraordinary man helped to shape the course of North Carolina Methodism for fifty years.

His ministry-from 1925 to 1975 -spanned years of depression and prosperity, peacetime and war. He experienced both the agony and the ecstasy of this significant period of American Methodist history!

Chancie Barclift was born on June 22, 1902 in Durant's Neck in Perquimans County. Following his memorial service at Trinity Church in Durham he was laid to rest in the picturesque New Hope Methodist Church cemetery in that same community where he was born.

The Durham Morning Herald, in reporting his December 9, 1975 death in a front page article called Barclift "a friend and close advisor of Bishops... one who was an outstanding preacher who used the purple

255

prose of the old school." Describing Dr. Barclift as a "gravely voiced Methodist minister who prided himself on preaching without notes" the writer noted that since his 1974 retirement he had devoted his time to growing roses and visiting with the younger preachers whom he had ad- vised during their Duke Divinity days.

After a year at Asbury College where he was licensed to preach on May 12, 1924, he transferred to Duke University where he received his A.B. degree in 1927. On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1930 he married Thelma Inez Cole of Hamlet. They were the parents of two daughters, Margaret Louise (Mrs. Fred Barnes Hight, Jr.) of Raleigh and Thelma Cole (Mrs. T. Harold Crowder, Jr.) of South Boston, Virginia. Both daughters survive as do six grandchildren.

Chancie joined the North Carolina Conference on November 17, 1925. He was ordained deacon in 1927 and elder in 1929. His pastorates in- cluded Roxboro Circuit, 1926-30; Leasburg Circuit, 1930-31; North Gates Circuit, 1931-35; Durham Circuit, 1935-38; Fifth Avenue, Wilmington, 1938-45; First Church, Henderson, 1945-48; District Superintendent, Wilmington, 1948-52; Trinity, Durham, 1952-56; District Superintendent, Durham, 1956-52; Hay Street, Fayetteville, 1962-68; District Superintendent, Durham, 1968-74; retired, June, 1974.

During his long and distinguished ministry he served in leadership roles in the Annual Conference, Jurisdiction and General Church. He was elected to the General and Jurisdictional Conferences of 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1970 and 1972. He was especially amazed that his fellow pastors elected him in 1972 at the age of 70 to the Conference in Atlanta. Bishop William R. Cannon announced that "the invincible Dr. Barclift has been elected."

The measure of the man's humanity is seen in the fact that he did not receive his B.D. degree when he finished Duke Divinity School because he failed to write his thesis. While serving the first term as Durham District Superintendent, he completed his requirements for the seminary degree and in 1960 was awarded the Bachelor of Divinity. In 1953 High Point College conferred upon him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree.

Prior to retirement, some two hundred and fifty friends gathered on May 2, 1974 at Trinity Church to honor Chancie and Thelma Barclift. The occasion brought together members of former churches, ministers who had served alongside him, and tributes from the Rev. Charles Mer- cer, Bishop Robert M. Blackburn and Dr. Robert E. Cushman. The oc- casion was the celebration of a distinguished career, a noble character, a man of trust and integrity, encourager of the young, confidant of bishops, friend of the elderly.

When Bishop Blackburn called me in Detroit to tell of his death, I knew that I had lost not only my "father in the faith" but one of life's dearest and most cherished friends!

Death stilled a vibrant voice whose tongue had uttered in classic language the simple truths of an Eternal Gospel. The magic of his eloquence was a native gift cultivated by an inner genius and intense faith

256

and devotion to Jesus, our Lord and Saviour!

I last visited Chancie and Thelma during the Duke Pastor's School in late October, 1975. The joy and fellowship of that final visit I have relived many times. The example he set ; the legacy he left ; the influence which still lingers; the things he taught which will long bear fruit in a multitude of lives... all will be remembered by a host of ministers and laity!

Hundreds gathered at Trinity Church in Durham on December 1 1 to praise God for his life and ministry. Bishop Robert M. Blackburn, the Rev. H. Langill Watson, who succeeded Barclift on the Durham District, and the Rev. Paul Carruth led the service. Music was by the Trinity Church choir.

The sentiments that I hold are shared by countless others and to his memory I quote these lines of the poet :

Out of the strain of the doing

Into the peace of the done. Out of the thirst of pursuing

Into the rapture of won. Out of the pale dusk into dawn

Out of all wrong into Tightness We from these fields shall be gone

"Nay" say the Saints, "Not gone but come Into eternity's harvest home."

GEORGE MARYLAND KELLEY

1888-1975 George Maryland Kelley, Sr. was born June 6, 1888, in Kelly, North Carolina. He was the son of the late George Memory Kelley and Ada Bliz- zard Kelley. Brother Kelley had laboured joyfully in the Master's service as minister for more than 65 years.

257

After graduating from Magnolia High School he became a self- educated person and eventually was granted a Doctor of Divinity degree from Midwestern Divinity School. While in his early twenties he and his first wife went to China as Pentecostal missionaries. He served in Kwan Tung Province near Canton in South China. Although his first wife passed away in China he remained there for over 40 years and was forced to leave when the Communists took over mainland China in 1950. He spoke fluent Chinese and was a member of the faculty of Ling Nam University in Canton for some time during his stay there.

When he returned to America he began preaching in his little home community of Kelly and later in several churches within the area. He had compassion for all people and it was not unusual for this man of God to literally give those in need the shirt from off his back.

He was assigned the Stumpy Point work and then "retired" in Whiteville only to continue serving churches in Bladen and Columbus counties. Some of his places of his service were: Peace, Pireway, Evergreen, Bluefield, Wooten's Chapel, and Whiteville.

Active to his last day of life, Brother Kelley felt a keen passion for win- ning souls. He helped to organize and direct the Upper Room Christian Fellowship which became one of his favorite local projects. He was physically active on the day of his earthly departure and refused many times to admit any discomfort or to complain because of his advanced years. Instead his constant testimony was: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."

George M. Kelley died on Friday, December 12, 1975, in the Colum- bus County Hospital in Whiteville. Final rites were held on Sunday, December 14, by District Superintendent James A. Auman, Paul W. Boone, and Kenneth Worthington, who had just recently entered the ministry of the church. This being one final example of the influential ministry of Brother Kelley.

He is survived by his wife: Mrs. Bessie Baldwin Kelley; sons: Lt. Com- mander Paul W. Kelley, Retired, of Charleston, S.C.; Dr. Hudson G. Kelley, Indianapolis, Ind., Dr. William K. Kelley also of Indianapolis, and Dr. John S. Kelley of Whiteville; and a sister, Mrs. Calvin Davis of Calypso.

It is far beyond our imagination to span the years of time of this man's service to Christ but is within the great framework of personal demon- stration of Christ's love for the often neglected person that George M. Kelley's memory will live on.

Thou, my everlasting portion, More than friend or life to me; All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Paul W. Boone

GRAHAM STANFORD EUBANK

1909-1976

Graham Stanford Eubank was born February 17, 1909 in a small house near Maysville. His early years were spent in the farm environment of that time and area. Church and school were early important dimensions of his life and he took to both with enthusiasm and dedication.

He earned his B.A. degree from Wofford College in 1933 and B.D. at Duke three years later. Wofford honored him with a doctorate in 1965. Education played a large role in his life. It was reflected in his goals for his church as well as for his children. He once said that "Education is something that no one can ever take away from you." He measured suc- cess for himself and his family, in a large part, by the graduation from college of all four children. We are sure he was even more pleased that they were Methodist related schools. The assistance he was able to lend in the founding of Methodist College and the subsequent dedication he showed toward its survival further attests to his strong belief in the value of a Christian education.

He married our mother, Maria L. Byrd of Holly Springs, N.C. on December 29, 1935. To say that she was an inspiration would be an un- derstatement. His life was her life and they blended into a single unit of love and devotion that made us a family.

He then began a ministry of over 35 years in the North Carolina Con- ference of the Methodist Church. With pastorates at Henderson, Pinetops, Aurora twice, Red Springs, Raleigh, Fayetteville and Golds- boro, he also served the Raleigh and Fayetteville Districts as District Superintendent. He was a Chaplain in the U.S. Army Air Corps for four years during World War II.

In writing this memorial to our father, it is interesting that all four of us agreed on one aspect of his character without consulting the other. Positive action versus negative inaction was almost a personal bat- tleground with him. The ability to assume the "do something" position

259

and then act on that position was a trademark of his life. He expected 100% effort; nothing less was acceptable. He had no sympathy for laziness in insisted that the opportunity to work was one of the great gifts of the American Life. Perhaps his early years helped enforce this philosophy.

The discipline he used on himself was the same he later tried to instill in us. Never easy on us or himself, the fact that the "crowd" was doing something had absolutely no bearing on whether or not it was acceptable. To say that we always thought he was right would be a little farfetched, for you know that few children growing up in any household agree with their parents all of the time. Certainly, we were no exception. But respect him we did for he never compromised principle and more often than not his wisdom and sense of justice proved him right. Family discussions around the dinner table were regular and often intense. Subjects were varied and all members of the family participated. Never did he discourage us from our views although he tried to explain and reason his own.

His personal values were best highlighted by deep concern for human relations. He abhored all things undignified to the welfare of any in- dividual. A human life was the most precious of all God's creations and to see it denied opportunity or its place as a member of the society of God's world disappointed him immensely. Man was God's creation and not man's, so man had no right to interfere in God's plan for that individual life. Instead, it was man's responsibility to God and man to enhance the lives of others. These attributes earned him the respect of all who came to know him.

Our father was a Christian first but not far behind came the Methodist Church. Unlike some people, he knew why he was a Methodist. The dogmatism of many other denominations turned him off. The personal Salvation taught and preached by the Methodist Church excited him and was the basis of all his beliefs. He insisted that dogmatic theology was not the answer to an individual's responsibility to God. Rather, a person could comply with all that was required for Salvation, but what it all came down to in the final analysis was the pure, plain, simple Grace of God. He often indicated that he was glad that he did not have to depend on justice for his salvation because he knew he couldn't make it without an awful lot of God's mercy.

This certainly does not mean that the Church and its work was an unimportant facet of religion to him. He saw the Church as God's agent through which man could live the Christian life he professes. And this meant doing all those things that a Christian can do through a strong and vibrant Church life. Dedication to the Christian Church was the same as dedication to God.

We again quote Van Dyke's Four Things in which he believed related by R. Wright Spears at his Memorial Service.

260

"Four things a man must learn to do — if he would make his record ue:

To think without confusion clearly, To love his fellowmen sincerely, To act with honest motives purely, To trust in God and heaven securely."

JAMES RUSSELL HAILEY

1914-1975

James Russell Hailey was born May 27, 1914, in Spray, North Carolina, the son of Walter and Lucy Slusher Hailey. He died at Nash General Hospital in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in his 61st year, December 21, 1975. He was reared by parents who were ardent members active in the Congregational Christian Church. He began a career that grew out of an affection for his craft of watchmaking early in life, served an ap- prenticeship and worked for eight years in that profession in Burlington. This was interrupted for three years as he served as Staff Sergeant in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

During this time he met and married Nell Mae Veach and they shared thirty-six rich years together. Their goals and careers were intertwined throughout this marriage.

Upon his discharge from the Army, Jim felt a compulsion to prepare for the active ministry and he enrolled at Elon College from which he was graduated in 1950. After a short pastorate, he united with The Methodist Church and served churches in Orange and Person counties as he contin- ued his ministerial education at Duke Divinity School.

Achieving honors in Old Testament studies, he was encouraged to continue his doctoral studies in this field at the same period that his con- ference was making plans to establish two new senior colleges to serve the youth of our area.

261

Jim felt a clear call to minister to the youth in one of these colleges and he set about to prepare himself for this mssion. He completed his doctoral studies with honors in Old Testament at Duke University in 1961. Dr. Stinespring called him the best student he ever had in Biblical studies.

To accomplish this long and difficult degree program, Nell Hailey served for years as nurse for the Methodist Retirement Home in Durham while Jim served part-time as chaplain for the residents.

Jim applied for the position as Assistant Professor of Religion at North Carolina Wesleyan College in 1961. After a careful interview process it was determined that he was among the best qualified candidates and he was appointed in September 1961. He served with distinction rising to the position of Professor and Chairman of the Department of Philosophy and Religion.

He never lost his love for the pastorate and he served Red Oak Methodist Charge, and the Mt. Zion Methodist Church almost the entire time he taught at Wesleyan. He was dearly beloved pastor as his congregation responded to the great love he shared with his people.

He tried to demonstrate the validity of the Christian gospel from the pulpit, from the professor's lectern, and in daily relationships. This was recognized by multitudes of students and friends who sought his counsel as they enjoyed his Christian message.

Jim's interests were many and varied. He was an active Rotarian, a Mason and Shriner serving as State Chaplain. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was one of the most expert fishermen I ever knew... sometimes going out for an afternoon to bring back fish on precise orders from his friends and amazed associates.

During the twenty-five years of our close personal friendship, I never really saw Jim angry with another person... demonstrating a quality of Christian love which was easily recognized and highly commendable.

He underwent major surgery last Spring without complaint and with a confidence that his life was safely in God's hands. Discovering a recurrence a few weeks go, Jim accepted pain and trial with few complaints, but rath- er with a quality of acceptance which was a remarkable testimony for all of us who visited him.

Through teeth clenched with pain he thanked God that he had the opportunity to know that God's love was available and genuine. He testi- fied of his faith to all who visited and we are richer for having shared these hours with him. As he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, he feared not all and welcomed the opportunity to encourage us to con- tinue to publish God's glad tidings. I have seldom found a faith so strong, and a testimony so miraculous in its proclamation of Christ's love and efficacy in human life.

I can certify that many young persons found new direction and hope because they met Jim Hailey, in the classroom, on the campus, or in chapel. Many of them can attest with eloquence to new directions achieved as he introduced them to Christ and His will for their lives.

I could conclude by offering, "Let not your heart be troubled... I go and prepare a place for you" from Jesus' New Testament assurance, but Jim knew in whom he believed and never waivered in that calm confi- dence, for as another Old Testament child of God he would have us know,

262

"The Lord is my shepherd. He leadeth me beside the still waters (and there will be many quiet ponds and rippling streams in Jim's heaven), thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

And all the servants of the Lord who knew James Russell Hailey may say simply and with appreciative affection. . .'Amen!"

I cannot say, and I will not say

That Jim is dead. He is just away.

With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into a welcome land.

And left us dreaming how very fair It must be, since Jim now dwells there.

And we, oh we who the wildest yearn For the old timestep, and the glad return

Think of Jim dwelling on, as dear

In the love of God as the love of Here ;

Mild and gentle as he was brave

When the sweetest love of his life he gave.

To simple things — where the violets grew Pure as the eyes they were likened to.

The touch of his hands have strayed As reverently as his lips have prayed.

Think of Jim as still the same, I say;

He is not dead — he is just away . . .with our heavenly Father!

DANIEL EDWIN EARNHEARDT

1892-1976

Daniel Edwin Earnhardt was born November 28, 1892, being the son of Daniel Luther and Ellen Ayers Earnheardt. He grew up in a Methodist

263

Parsonage. He graduated from Trinity College in 1918 and was awarded the degree of Masters in Religious Education by Duke Divinity School in 1828.

Ed Earnhardt was married to Esther Roberts of Durham on January 22, 1918 at Bethany Church in Durham.

In 1916 at the Annual Conference in Durham, he was received on trial. In World War I, he was with the Army Y.M.C.A. He served as a chaplain with the rank of Captain during the Second World War.

He is survived by two sons, Edwin R. Earnhardt and Dan T. Earnhardt, both of whom are Methodist ministers, and a daughter, Mrs. Harold T. Davis of Goldsboro.

The first pastorate to which Ed Earnhardt was assigned was Lakewood Park in Durham. Other charges were Graham, Tarboro, Southport, Cal- vary (Durham), Smithfield, Fifth Avenue (Wilmington), Henderson (First), Fayetteville District, President, Louisburg College, Rockingham (First), Washington (First), Clinton First, and McMannen (Durham). He retired in 1967. Following his retirement he served Bath Circuit, Hatteras and Roper.

For forty years he contributed articles to community newspapers and The North Carolina Christian Advocate. His "Wayside Pulpit" was eagerly read by people throughout Eastern North Carolina.

These are some of the facts concerning the ministry of Ed Earnhardt, but as I write this memoir, sacred personal memories are about me for Daniel Edwin Earnhardt was my friend and he vitally affected my life.

I first met him when I was a student at Louisburg College. It was during the days of the depression and Ed Earnhardt had assumed the presidency of Louisburg College. He was called upon to save the situation. The school had a staggering indebtedness. When he left this position the financial burden had been lifted.

During the time of his administration at Louisburg College he had the opportunity to influence many young men for the ministry. At one session of the North Carolina Conference fifty ministers were recognized as being the products of his influence. I bear testimony to the friendship of Ed Earnhardt for he was my true friend. I shall be forever indebted to him for encouragement and wise counsel to me as a young preacher.

Ed Earnhardt was an evangelist with a unique pulpit style. His keen sense of humor endeared him to ministers and laity alike. His sermons were never cumbersome, but they were exceedingly profound and stimulating.

Many honors were bestowed upon him including the opportunity to preach before President Franklin Roosevelt on Easter Sunday, April 25, 1943, at Fort Riley, Kansas.

His final years he spent in Edenton sharing with the church and town people his folksy philosophy, his easy smile, and his bountiful love for his fellow man.

Ed Earnhardt died April 14, 1976 in Edenton. A funeral service was held at Edenton United Methodist Church with The Reverend Norwood Jones and The Reverend J. Kern Ormond officiating. On Good Friday, April 16, 1976, he was interned beside his wife at Maplewood Cemetery in Durham.

264

A patriarch has gone from our midst. A great leader has preached his last sermon. For insight, profundity, consecration, devotion to the cause of Christ, deep convictions, and fearless statement of beliefs, we shall not likely see his equal again in our generation.

One of the highlights of growing up in Roxboro was going by the Petty house and being treated like a "real somebody" by Pearl Petty. Even waking up the household at six o'clock on Saturday morning to begin a bicycle ride for a Cycling Merit Badge did not dent that hospitality. The crowds would overflow across the street from Brooksdale Church after Epworth League, or beg another sheet to use in the Halloween Spook House and there she was with a friendly smile and a cheery "come in."

That's what I remember most about Pearl Petty when I was young -and even as I have grown older. She was "at home" and wanted you to be "at home" with her and the family.

Durham was always referred to as "where I was reared", although she was born in Chatham County on July 8, 1895. Her parents, Charles A. and Naomi Burke Griffin, saw that Pearl was duly educated at the Durham schools and at Trinity College. When she was twenty-three, she married Dwight A. Petty, and began a career of maintaining and en- hancing Methodist parsonages for forty two years. Those homes went all the way from the Bahama circuit at the beginning to the Rose Hill Church before retirement. It was during those first years that two sons were born Burke and Bernard. The last years of retirement were spent in Rose Hill

265

in their own home, until Dwight died in 1971. Pearl continued living there with her sons until her death on August 1, 1975, right after the celebration of her eightieth birthday.

The Reverend John H. White and The Reverend David L. Moe com- mitted her to God's eternal care at the Rose Hill Church on August 3.

MRS. KATIE BIZZELL BUNDY

Mrs. Katie Bizzell Bundy, widow of the late Rev. Jessie David Bundy, died on September 21, 1975, at the age of 91, in the Wilkes General Hospital, North Wilkesboro, N.C., after a long illness. The funeral was held at the Rogers and Breece Funeral Chapel, Fayetteville, N.C., with the Rev. James H. Miller, Jr., District Superintendent, officiating. Burial was in the Hillside Cemetery in Laurinsburg, N.C.

She was born in LaGrange, N.C, on December 20, 1884. She grew up in LaGrange, Goldsboro and Kinston, N.C. Her parents were Elijah Wooten Bizzell and Penelope Barnes Bizzell. It was in Kinston where she met her future husband, he being pastor of Queen Street Methodist Church at the time. They were married on April 20, 1908 in Kinston. Soon after their marriage they moved to Elizabeth City, and then to Wilmington, Weldon, Fayetteville, Rockingham, Fayetteville, Smithfield and Mebane. After Mr. Bundy 's retirement they moved back to Fayet- teville, where they lived for many years.

She was active in all phases of the church in all the churches in which her husband served. She was devoted to her church, her family and her many friends. She was a wonderful mother and an inspiration to her family during her long years of suffering. She was a true Christian, and as one of her family said, "Katie was born good."

She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Miriam B. McLain, Durham, N.C. and two sons, Dr. W.L. Bundy, North Wilkesboro, N.C. and Dr. James B. Bundy, Fayetteville, N.C, a sister, Mrs. W.C Boone, Sr., Kinston, and one brother, Mr. Lee Bizzell, Fredericksburg, Va., six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore

As time goes by, we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face

No one can fill your vacant place.

MRS. WILLIE MAE GANNAWAY

Mrs. Willie Mae (Hill) Gannaway, the daughter of the late George H. and Sarah (Kennedy) Hill, was born in Choccolocco, Alabama, Novem- ber 6, 1902. She was educated in the Anniston, Alabama schools and graduated from Barber College in Atlanta, Georgia. She met the Reverend Herbert C. Gannaway while he was a student at Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta and they were married in 1927. She joined her husband when he returned to the pastorate in the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Being a minister's wife, Mrs. Gannaway learned to carry out many duties in the church. She was an expert pianist and singer, and worked in many ways in the local church as well as on the district, conference and jurisdictional levels.

After the death of her husband in 1945, she and her daughter, Mary Helen, moved to Fayetteville where they became members of the John Wesley Methodist Church. She became very active in John Wesley Church. A few of the many positions held by Mrs. Gannaway were: Sun- day School teacher; Treasurer of the Senior Choir; Chairperson, Com- mission on Missions; Member of the Trustee Board; Member of the Commission of Stewardship and Finance; President of the Senior Choir; Director-Coordinator of College Activities; Work Area Chairperson of Worship; Member of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee; President of the United Methodist Women.

Mrs. Gannaway was employed by the Fayetteville State University and when she retired in 1970 and moved to Washington, D.C., transferred her membership to the Lincoln Park United Methodist Church. When her health began to fail she moved to South Hadley, Massachusetts to live

267

with her daughter.

Mrs. Gannaway became seriously ill and was taken to Western Massachusetts Hospital, Westfield, where she died on Wednesday, Oc- tober 16, 1975. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Mary Gannaway Sabbs; three sisters: Mrs. Nellie H. Tucker and Miss Jean Hill of Washington, D.C. and Mrs. Daisy Crook of Godsen, Alabama; two step- sisters and one step-brother; three grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held at the Ryder Funeral Home followed by ser- vices in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Holyoke, and burial was in Evergreen Cemetery, South Hadley, on Monday, October 20, 1975.

NELLIE FAISON (SIS) O'BRIANT

1880-1975

Mrs. Nellie Faison O'Briant was born April 12, 1880 in North Hamp- ton Co. N.C. where her parents, Benjamin and Alice Faison were school teachers. At an early age, she along with her parents became the fifth family to settle in what was then the village of Roanoke Rapids.

On Dec. 20, 1904 she was united in Holy Wedlock to the Rev. J.B. O'Briant, a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in what was then The Methodist Protestant Church. She served our Lord and His church with her husband for 19 years, until his untimely death in 1930.

Pastorates in which they together served our Lord included : Randle- man, N.C; The Spring Church Charge in North Hampton Co. and parts of Va. ; The Littleton Ckt. in Halifax and Warren Counties; The Chase City Ckt.; and the Greenville Ckt., where he was serving at the time of his death.

Sis, (as Mrs. O'Briant was so affectionately called) was a good wife, always at her post of duty. Nothing was too burdensome and no task too hard for her hands to do if she saw a need. A long life, above reproach was her career. No tongue can truly speak anything against the life and character of this good woman. She remained an active member of her

268

church until the time of her infirmity from a fall in Jan. 1970. Although confined to bed for nearly six years, Sis bore her suffering well. She never complained, giving evidence of a happy home.

Her love for the beauty of nature led her to open and operate the first florist in Roanoke Rapids. The name of her florist, "The Glad Home Florist" exemplified her attitude and outlook on life. She said that name was chosen because her's truly was a happy home, for which she had so much to be thankful.

Tis true, that she never bore any children from her body, but she was a mother and grandmother to many. Several members of her family lived with her during those dark and lean years of the depression, and we today, especially of Smith Church are reaping the fruits of her labors. As her foster daughter, Mrs. Alvorado Grooms commented, "She lived her life for others."

To Sis, death was like the Shepherd serenly leading home his flock under the planet of the evenings end. On Dec. 29, 1975 Mrs. O'Briant slipped quietly into the waiting arms of her "Blessed Redeemer" to hear these glorious words — "Well done thy good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Funeral services were conducted at the Branch Funeral Home Chapel on Jan. 1, 1976 by Rev. J.B. Helms, pastor of Smith United Methodist Church, and the Rev. Ray Phillips, pastor of Hawkins Chapel United Church.

Over there in Cedarwood Cemetery, by the side of her husband, sleeps the body of this good woman. This little mound marks the passing of a loving wife, a tender mother, a good neighbor, and a Christian Woman.

It is most fitting and proper that this memorial be closed with the words of the hymn that was sung at her funeral.

"MY GOD AND I"

My God and I go in the field together, We walk and talk as good friends should and do. We clasp our hands, our voices ring with laughter, My god and I walk through the meadow's hue.

He tells me of the years that went before me, When heavenly plans were made for me to be. When all was but a dream of deep conception, To come to life, earth's verdant glory see.

My god and I will go for aye together, We'll walk and talk and jest as good friends do. This earth will pass, and with it common trifles, But God and I will go unendingly.

Mrs. O'Briant is survived by her foster -daughter, Alvorado Faison Grooms of Roanoke Rapids; two step-grandsons, Thad O'Briant of Roanoke Rapids and John O'Briant of Burlington; and several nieces and nephews.

ADDIE JESSIE DIXON RIDAUGHT

1909-1976

Ad die Jessie Dixon Ridaught was born in Lee County, Opelika, Ala- bama on March 28, 1909, the daughter of John L. and Martha Riddle Dixon.

She attended the public schools of Lee County and afterwards The Alabama Polytechnical Institute (now Auburn University), Auburn, Alabama; Massey Business College, Combus, Georgia; and Birmingham Southern College, Birmingham, Alabama.

She was a teacher, stenographer and public accountant. She worked as a private secretary and bookkeeper for one of the largest electrical companies in the South.

On November 20, 1943, she married the Reverend Horace Greely Ridaught, and to this union was born a daughter, Norma Virginia Ridaught Strickland, now of Clinton, North Carolina.

In December, 1962, the family, having moved to North Carolina, joined First United Methodist Church, Pembroke; and in March, 1962, they moved to Clinton to begin the Coharie United Methodist Mission, projected to minister to the Coharie Indians of Sampson County.

Together with her husband, they founded the Coharie Methodist Mission Church on November 21, 1965, where they served together until Brother Ridaught's death on February 1 , 1974.

She loved her church, where she was a faithful member, and never missed a service, except for sickness. Next to her Christian faith, she loved and supported her husband in his work as a minister. Her first thoughts and efforts were always directed toward him and his happiness.

She loved the little children and youth of her Church. She was its Treasurer and Secretary until her sight began to fail in July, 1975.

She led a clean life, was never sick and was never attended by a physician until her last illness.

She died on May 4, 1976. The Funeral Service was held on Saturday, May 9, led by the Reverend James Jacobs and the Reverend Mike Cum-

270

mings. Mr. Lloyd Jacobs, a faithful member of the congregation, also spoke on behalf of the church membership. Burial followed in the cemetary of New Bethel Baptist Church, near Clinton.

In addition to her daughter and one grandson, Mrs. Ridaught was survived by two brothers, J.O. and W.L. Dixon, and one sister, Mrs. F.P. Thompson.

She received her joy in life from doing for those who could not do for themselves. And she will be loved and remembered for her dedicated service to her Lord, her family and her Church.

1900-1976

Lallah Brown Watts was born on August 9, 1900, in Greenville, N.C., daughter of Elvira Moore Brown and James Brown, who was in the mer- cantile business. One of eight children, she was educated in the public schools of Greenville, N.C., and Randolph Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg, Virginia.

On January 23, 1921, she married Lawrence Adams Watts, of Lynch- burg, Va., a field representative for Armour Company, who became a member of the North Carolina Methodist Conference in 1925.

Lawrence and Lallah Watts dedicated their lives to the Glory of God. Together, they faithfully served the following churches in the North Carolina Conference; She never missing an opportunity to help in the work of the ministry they shared for forty-four years:

She was actively involved in all phases of the church work wherever her home was located. She placed strong emphasis upon the family as an institution, consequently contributing to the happiness and well-being of her children and grandchildren.

After retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Watts lived in Greenville, N.C, from 1965-1973, at which time they moved to Timrick Retirement Home, Concord, N.C.

The Old Testament writer expressed it well : "A good wife who can find? The heart of her husband trusts in her... Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household... Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.' Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proverbs 31 : 10-1 lb, 25-30, RSV)

SECTION V

CONFERENCE REPORTS, LEGISLATION AND RESOLUTIONS

Group A-Agency Reports

State of the Church Address June 1976

The Annual Conference of 1976 is a very significant one. Our joyful ob- servance of United Methodism's Bicentennial in North Carolina affords us an opportunity for reflection and perspective. Those Circuit Riders who came to the Carolina Circuit two hundred years ago could little imagine the proportions of our modern Methodism. Nor can we predict what the church will be like one hundred years from today. Our responsibility is to do all we can to fulfill the sacred trust that is ours to serve the present and to insure the future. A contemporary Christian song says, "Pass it on, pass it on." Indeed we will want to pass on the glorious light of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, in the fervent manner of Methodism .

As we begin a new quadrennium we build upon this noble past, but with concern about a disturbing present. Our declining moral state is the product of false liberations and deadening lethargy. Multitudes in our age are not only in faith crises, but are also in crises of personal living. For some it is an act of heroism to stay afloat at all! The idea of contextual ethics has bred a climate of sexual laxity, of immorality on every level, and of breakdown in home and family life that should cause us all to sound the alarm for renewal of our commitment to Christian responsibility. Liberation without conscience is a dangerous thing. We need to turn from

273

s

talking about things we are free "from", to consider the things we are free "for". We should seek freedom "from" our sins that we may be free "for" purity of life and purpose. Only then can we prove our Christian credibility.

In the face of such moral and spiritual concern, we can nevertheless thank God for the vitality and strength of the church in general, and North Carolina Methodism in particular. In many of our congregations church attendance is up. Productive and encouraging things are happening. In 1975, we had a net gain in membership of 370. Average church attendance was 75,416. Additions on profession of faith were 3,204, and by transfer 5,203.

Our stewardship has registered significant growth with $19,731,395 raised for all purposes, which is an increase of $1,024,129 over 1974. Per capita giving increased from $88.06 in 1974 to $93.27 in 1975. In 1975 our giving to Single Figure causes increased from $3,240,773 in 1974 to $3,442,477 in 1975, or a percentage increase of 6.22% Giving to Advance Mission Specials was up from $188,004 to $250,014, or a percentage growth of 33% . Much of this was in response to the Hunger Appeal, which accounted for a major portion of the Advance funds. In 1975 we gave almost $250,000 for Hunger Relief. It was also in 1975 that we responded to the urgent needs of North Carolina Wesleyan by pledging $488,000 over a three-year period, of which $320,000 has already been paid in cash. Our conference ranks third in all of United Methodism in giving to Higher Education.

The quadrennial year is a pertinent time to evaluate our gains and losses over the past four years. In 1971-72 we had a net membership gain of 490; in 1972-73, a gain of 1172; in 1973 (short year), a loss of 474; in 1974 a loss of 21 ; and in 1975 a gain of 370 ; or a total gain of 1 ,537 mem- bers for the quadrennium, amounting to a percentage gain of .73%. Though not a significant gain, at least it was not a loss, as reflected over the denomination as a whole.

The church school picture is a more discouraging one. During the four- year period we went from an enrollment of 124,295 in 1971 to 113,361 in 1975; or a loss of 10,934, or percentage loss of 8.8%

The financial picture during the quadrennium shows a plus in every area of giving. Pastors' salaries increased 35.6% during the period. Travel allowances increased 6.2% and utilities for parsonages increased 116.5%. At the same time, giving to Single Figure causes (Pensions and Benevolen- ces) incresed 18.9%, or almost exactly half the rate of pastors' salaries. Giving to General Advance Specials increased 135.1% over the four years, largely due to emergency appeals for hunger, earthquakes, and similar disasters. Giving to the Ten Dollar Club (Church Extension) increased 207.1%. These gains, plus our generous giving to the North Carolina Wesleyan campaign in the amount of $320,000, and over $120,000 to the Black College Fund, gives us a good record in giving.

Where do we go from here as we face a new quadrennium? Certainly we cannot be satisfied with anything less than forward. To do this we must place a high priority upon growth in membership. The recent report released at the 1976 General Conference on Membership Trends in the

274

United Methodist Church reveal:

(1) The peak quadrennium for receiving persons on Profession of faith was 1956-60, when more than 400,000 new persons were added each year. The total received by Profession of faith and transfer in 1956-60 was 800,000 each year.

(2) The lowest number was received during the 1969-72 quadrennium, when just slightly more than 211 ,000 were added each year by profession of faith.

(3) The total number of names removed from the rolls of the church as a result of death has remained relatively constant since 1960 - between 1 13,000 and 1 19,000 annually.

(4) The number removed by transfer to other denominations has decreased slightly from 95,000 in 1957-60 to 70,000 in the present quadrennium.

(5) There has been a slight increase in the number removed by Charge Conference action and otherwise. The low point was 183,000 annually in 1961-64 and the high was 250,000 annually since 1972.

(6) The net losses in church membership are not due to a mass exodus or greatly increased number of removals from the membership rolls. A primary factor in the net loss is the sharp reduction in the number of per- sons who have been received on Profession of faith.

Nothing amazes me more than a prevailing mood among some persons (ministers in particular) that we should not place much emphasis upon statistics. Indeed, God expects us to be obedient, and to be obedient, He expects us to be assertive and successful! In the Episcopal Address at the General Conference Bishop James Thomas said, "Evangelism is not a method or a function., .it is the heart of Christian self-definition, the fun- damental reason why we exist as Christians." Elton Trueblood provides a key image when he says, "Evangelism occurs when people are so enkindled by contact with the central fire of Christ that they, in turn, set others on fire." There may not appear much difference between 19 and 20 new members, unless that one may be my child, or your loved one. It is then that numbers make all the difference in the world! If we stop short of win- ning one hundred souls for Christ by being content with the 99, then we have to answer, "Where is that one lost sheep?!" In the 1950's and the early 1960's the North Carolina Conference was adding 4,000 to 5,000 net new members per year, compared with plus 370 in 1975, and minus 21 in 1974, and 1,117 in 1973!

With these in mind, let us therefore set some challenging and deman- ding goals. Let us do at least some of the following:

(1) Bring to Raleigh on January 24-25, 1977, all the ministers and have them receive skilled training and inspiration in methods of Evangelism.

(2) Use the dates of February 1-12 for a through religious census of our communities to determine how many people live among us who are not within the direct influence of the Christian Church by membership or in- fluence.

(3) Use the dates of February 13-27, 1977, for earnest and enthusiastic visitation for the distinct purpose of winning persons to Christ and to the church.

275

(4) The week of February 27, 1977 be devoted to creative, devout days of special, corporate worship — Call it revivals, or New Life Missions, or preaching missions, or what vou will! I still believe there is a place for con- centrated, creative proclamation of the Gospel.

Good preaching and growing faith will result in a sustained commitment to evangelism by and for the whole church. God sets for us our priorities! The great commission — go, preach, teach, baptize, make disciples, wit- ness—is still The Great Commission!

We rejoice in the three priorities set by the General Conference for the quadrennium of 1977-80; namely: (1) Evangelism, (2) Ethnic Ministries, and (3) World Hunger. We will want to respond to each of these with an enthusiastic and exciting commitment.

Having already spoken to the urgent need in evangelism, let me just as distinctly emphasize our need to reach out and expand our ministry among the ethnic groups. Within the geographical bounds of the North Carolina Conference there are more than a half-million Black people. Yet we have on our rolls a mere 3,000 Blacks. Most of them are in very small churchs and have the services of only part-time ministers. What a challenging field this is for our conference to minister to the economic, social and spiritual needs of such a large portion of our population.

World hunger is of such proportions as to stir the compassion and response of all of us. Our giving must be of such proportions as to afford a basic and constructive answer to the causes of hunger and a generous sup- port to creative ways of solving so grievous a problem. A band-aid ap- proach is worthy, but beyond it must come a constructive program of producing enough food for great masses of people. It will call for renewed priorities, simpler life styles, and a more equitable sharing of the earth's resources.

Let us go from this Conference with a renewed dedication to serve, to sacrifice, to suffer, to lead,, to issue a call to the people called Methodists to rise up and minister in the name of Our Lord, whose example was "not to be ministered unto, but to minister."

My plea is in the realm of attitude and spirit.

(1) One, that we have an attitude of deep concern for the souls of people. We as Christians live under the compulsion of the great com- mission to reach out and win the world for Christ.

(2) Two, a right attitude toward the minority. We are to minister and not to be ministered unto! Ours is a high calling that transcends personal gain and comfort. It calls us to serve with compassion and zeal.

(3) Three, a right attitude toward the church. Too often we ask, "What does the church do for me?" More often we need to ask, "What can I do for my Lord through the church?" The church should be the "Company of the Committed" who are out to change the world and convert people to the cause of Christ.

The Commission on Archives and History

The Commission on Archives and History is composed of two persons from each district comprising the North Carolina Conference, the archivist, historian, Commission researcher and one district superintendent.

Meetings were held at Purdie Church in Bladen County and McBride Church in Camden County where interesting programs were presented and delicious dinners were served.

Early district conference minutes and several circuit record books were added to the Commission Archives at The Methodist Building. Here are also contained condensed and complete Conference minutes from 1773 to the present. Efforts continue to obtain important additions to these archives.

The Southeastern Jurisdiction Commission on Archives and History met in July at Birmingham Southern University and three delegates attended from our Commission.

Joseph Watson, researcher, and Frank Grill, historian, completed and distributed the Conference Historical Directory, a summary of pertinent historical information concerning all churches in the Conference arranged in order by counties.

The big event was the Bicentennial Celebration held at Duke University on April 3, 1976 celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Carolina Circuit and the 50th anniversary of the founding of The Divinity School. It was attended by 7,000 persons and termed an outstanding success. Since this event was held jointly with the Western North Carolina Conference as a special session, minutes of this event are published in both Conference Journals. A commemorative book, Methodism Alive in North Carolina was prepared by the committee and edited by O. Kelly Ingram, Chairman of the Committee. Certificates were presented to the oldest black, native American and white congregation still in existence in North Carolina.

Continuing efforts are underway to have churches prepare their own local histories and deposit a copy in the Conference Archives. The earliest church in each district is also being sought for a special recognition. The Commission assists churches on request to conduct special anniversary celebrations.

At its annual homecoming in June, historic Rehoboth Church in Wash- ington County formed a memorial foundation to perpetrate the upkeep and continue the use of the property for monthly preaching and special services. This is a similar arrangement to that established at Whitaker's Chapel in Halifax County. It is the desire of many of our members to seek more churches in danger of being closed or abandoned where the building exhibits rare architectural style or special historic significance.

The Commission was organized in June for the 1976-p80 quadrennium and elected Lawrence Lugar, Chairperson; Mrs. W.T. Jackson, Vice- Chairperson and Morris Barber, Secretary. The new members show a continuing interest in preserving our heritage and carrying out the worthy aims of this group held since its inception in 1893.

During the year 1975, the Board of Church and Society has continued its efforts to be the church in society, listening for the sounds that indicate where people hurt and looking for ways the church might heal these hurts. Since hunger has been a prime cause of the hurts of the world, this board in cooperation with the Task Force on the Call For Peace and Self-development and the Division of Missions declared February 16th, 1975, as Hunger Sunday. In conjunction with The One Great Hour of Sharing an offering was received for World Hunger.

During April the Adult Study Tour to the United Nations and Washing- ton, D.C., was conducted and a workshop on Human Sexuality was held for young adults in the conference. Also during April approximately sixty- five persons from this conference met in Charlotte with members of the Western North Carolina and South Carolina Conferences for a Consulta tion on the Call for Peace and Self-development of Peoples. Six members of the Board attended the Southeastern Jurisdiction Briefing Conference at Lake Junaluska; one attended a seminar on the use of food stamps; another represented us at the Annual Briefing on National Legislation in Washington; and others attended the North Carolina Council of Social Legislation sessions.

In October the total Board met for a two day session at Methodist Col- lege where we shared the information gathered at all these conferences and seminars, and in addition we heard reports on the activities of The General Board of Church and Society from Mildred Fry, who is a member of that group and serves as our consultant; and from Bruce Pate, who is the Con- ference Representative on the North Carolina, Department of Corrections Committee on Chaplaincy's and from Eric Carson who works with Urban Ministries in Fayetteville. It was felt that our failure to rehabilitate our growing prison population and our failure to deal with the innocent vic- tims of their crimes was an area on which we might concentrate. Con- sequently, our board has formulated four resolutions which are to be presented to the 1976 Annual Conference.

General Council on Ministries

The General Council on Ministries has worked through the first four years of its existence and has made its first report to the General Confer-

279

ence of The United Methodist Church.

No one would claim or could claim that the Council has accomplished all that it was directed to do, however, it reached the end of the quadren- nium with an excellent report, having been a part of the evalutive process which called for planning and coordination in the life of the whole church.

May I enquire, what effect will the recommendations of this body to the 1976 General Conference have upon you, upon me, and upon our church.

First, the 1972 General Conference instructed the General Council to make a study of the distribution system of our resources and report its findings. Through this study it was concluded that a single distribution system would not be recommended, but that through continuous study, ways of making possible greater access of resource materials to the local church could be found.

Secondly, the General Council on Ministries recommended a more orderly placement of materials in the Discipline which will make possible more effective and greater use of the Discipline.

Thirdly, every agency of the church is urged to respond to the 1976- 80 Quadrennial theme of "Committed to Christ — Called to Change" in their programming.

Fourthly, in recommending its missional priority to the General Con- ference, the General Council set evangelism as one of its major thrusts. Bishop Thomas, in the Episcopal Address, urged the people called Meth- odists to lead one million persons to Christ during the next quadrennium.

The second area of concern in the missional priority is the development of Ethnic Minority Churches. The third area of importance is world hunger. To carry out these two we are requested to place upon the altar of the church an annual gift of approximately 10 million dollars. One half of these funds is to be secured through a line item in our local church budgets, and the other half to be secured through Advance specials.

Another important action of the General Council on Ministries was the presentation of the evaluative report of the program agencies of the Church. May we at this time name these boards and indicate the representation of our conference in these bodies.

— Board of Church and Society— Mrs. D.K. Fry of Raleigh

— Bishop Blackburn from Council of Bishops

— Board of Discipleship — C.H. Mercer, Conference Council Director

— David Harvin, Student in Wesley Seminary

— Board of Global Ministries — Mrs. Charles Dorsett of Mt. Gilead

—J.N. Gibson of Gibson

— P.W. Gibson of Gibson

— P.W. Aitkin of Durham

— Commission on Religion and Race — Debora Wilkins of North Carolina

— Commission on the Status and Role of Women — Bishop Blackburn Each agency has been faithful in carrying out its assigned task. However,

attention was called to the importance of and the responsibility for the development of effective communication with the Annual Conferences, that they may be more responsive to the needs of the people of the local churches.

May I express to you my sincere appreciation for the privilege of serving

280

on this Council during the past quadrennium. I was assigned to work in the Section on Evaluation and selected the Board of Discipleship as the General Agency to which I would be related.

During the past two years I was given a special assignment to work with four other Council members on a Committee to Evaluate the work of The General Council on Ministries.

It is my opinion that the work of the whole church has been more effec- tive and less expensive due to the dilligent work of 125 members of local churches who have served in this way.

Methodist Ministers Credit Union

The late Wright Patman, Congressman from Texas, used typically Texan terms to describe the credit unions of the world. He said, "No other institution than the church does more good for men than credit unions."

It makes us feel good when we hear words like this from the man in government who knew more about credit unions than any other individual.

So it seems natural for a credit union to be associated with the church in service to mankind. We are grateful for the privilege of serving this seg- ment of the church known as the North Carolina Annual Conference.

We invite and urge every eligible person to join. There is no time or place better than here and now.

Who is eligible? The persons who are referred to in our By-Laws:

"The field of membership in this credit union is limited to those having the following common bond of association, occupation or residence: the resident Bishop, ministers of or serving in The North Carolina Conference, United Methodist Church, spouses of aforesaid ministers and members, and children, natural born and adopted, of any of these. Full-time em- ployees of institutions and agencies of or related to The North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, the spouse and children, both natural born and adopted, of the eligible employees. "

How do you join? You buy one or more shares and promise to abide by the By-Laws. Shares are $5.00 each.

Where can you join? You may join at the credit union desk in the foyer of this building. John Mitchell will be there to receive your investment. You may join later by mail or in person at the credit union office.

Do not wait. Join today. You need your credit union and it needs you. It is where you belong. Together we can do things that we could never do alone.

The statistics that follow are more than figures. They are an index of how many pennies we have saved and how much we have served. They tell the story of those who put service above profit. They tell of the strength of a few, relatively poor, when bonded together in service.

Our assets grew $1,167.63 in 1974, $82,441.05 in 1975, and $135,902.23 since our report last year.

Shares showed a loss of $709.87 in 1974, but a growth of $30,653.82 in 1975, and $65,118.33 since we reported to you last.

Loans decreased $17,742.10 in 1974, but increased $110,648.70 in 1975, and $21 7,061 .79 since we reported to you last.

281

This increase in loan volume indicates that our members are doing more shopping for credit. They are also realizing the value of credit union service.

We continue to offer loans at 6% APR for saving, and 12% APR for consumer credit.

We are finding that other lenders are charging up to 31% APR plus other fees that makes the true cost of credit reach the 45 % area .

A further study of the comparative balance sheet will show other areas of growth in resources and services.

Comparative Balance Sheet Assets 5-31-74 5-31-75 6-5-76

Loans $560,964.68 5538,883.01 $755,944.80

Investments 40,281.58 88,770.58 1,618.61

Furniture & Fixtures 5,324.84 4,672.64 6,261.98

Prepaid Expense 398.93 435.23 1,251.34

Accounts Receivable 18.42

Accounts Payable 1,380.70 2,877.73 1,074.26

Notes Payable 74,000.00

Guaranty Reserve 31,897.00 28,622.90 35,574.52

Other Reserves 2,291.31 1,500.00 1,500.00

Undivided Earnings 5,132.19 10,465.74 11,791.60

$611,757.09 $635,798.31 $771,700.54 This growth has not come without problems and sacrifices. Your Board of Directors has taken constructive action to relieve some of these problems. John Mitchell was employed in July, 1975 as bookkeeper and office as- sistant. In January, 1976 he was employed full time. In the latter part of 1975 an Olivetti A5 accounting machine was ordered. This mini-computer will give to us much information for internal control and management, which will result in improved services to the members.

New legislation, by-laws, and regulations have made demands on our time, but will result in expanded and improved credit union services in the months ahead.

New loan applications will be in use before the end of the month. Your cooperation in using them is a must if we are to serve you.

Share guaranty insurance will be required of all credit unions in North Carolina by January 1, 1977. This required service is welcome even though our loss ratio remains about 0.002% over the thirty-eight year history of our credit union.

What of the Future?

The immediate future demands that we increase the portion of our savings invested in our credit union. This demand is heard loud and clear in the balance sheet — notes payable $74,000.00 This is money borrowed to re-lend. This ought not to be, but is necessary when loan demand exceeds savings. This needs to be wiped out by a wave of savings. Please let it roll in now.

282

The more distant future is a great challenge. Our Credit Union needs to grow until we can guarantee a suitable residence is in reach of everyone of our members who comes to retirement without a place to move. We need to bridge the gap between the parsonage and the "home over there."

This may seem to be a wild dream to some, but who would have ven- tured to say in February 1, 1960 when we had $1,204.02 in total assets accumulated in over 21 years, that we would be able to make a loan in excess of $15,000.00 to buy a home in 1976! And, yet it has happened. It is a part of our history.

Together we can do that which was thought impossible just a few years earlier. Come join us in service.

Lay persons, churches, and other organizations can have a part in this service through our Deposit accounts. You can invest in the credit union at guaranteed rates even though you cannot borrow from it. We invite your inquiry and participation.

Start saving every pay day for a special purpose. Save in Methodist Ministers Credit Union. Help us meet the ever enlarging demands of service.

A special word of thanks is due to those who have this service and report possible.

CM. Mitchell, Treasurer

Division of Diaconal Ministries

Since its formation in 1968, the Lay Worker Committee has been giving its report. The Reverend Troy Barrett was the first chairperson, the Reverend John Cline was the second chairperson, and for the past two years, I have served as chairperson.

I would like to call the attention of the conference to the fact that "Lay Worker" is an office to which one aspires after having been employed in the conference for a full year and having been ceritified by the appropriate committee as meeting certain educational standards and requirements. After a meeting with the Lay Worker Committee, having a letter from the administrative board indicating their willingness to participate in the program, obtaining a physical examination, presenting three letters of recommendation and being voted upon by the Annual Conference, one may become a Lay Worker. This entitles the Lay Worker to certain retire- ment benefits as provided for in paragraph 507.1 of the Discipline which states, "The employing agency shall include the Lay Worker in the retire- ment plan of the Lay Employee Pension Fund (Par. 1377.12) or other such appropriate plan as provided by the Board of Pensions or other boards or agencies of the United Methodist Church." For the sake of uni- formity, we recommend that the pension plan for Lay Workers in the North Carolina Conference be based upon an annual contribution of 9% of the employee's salary — 6% to be paid by the employing agency and 3% by the employee (or some combination of percentages to add up to 9% ) .

We encourage local churches employing Lay Workers to pay the premiums for Blue-Cross-Blue Shield Insurance plan, and to participate, in their behalf, in the Conference program of Group Life Insurance.

283

The Committee on the Lay Worker also calls upon all local churches within her bounds to consider a pension program as well as hospitaliza- tion and life insurance, for all LAY EMPLOYEES — not only those who qualify as a Lay Worker.

By action of the General Conference meeting in Portland, Oregon, designation of the Lay Worker has now become "Diaconal Minister." This word means '"to serve." In taking this action, the General Conference recognizes the call, the dedication, and the preparation of Lay Persons in the service and ministry of Christ and His Church. The Diaconal Min- istry will be related to the Board of the Ministry.

The Committee on District Conference Records

The committee has examined the district conference records and finds those of the following districts accounted for: Burlington, Elizabeth City, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greenville, New Bern, Rockingham, Rocky Mount, Sanford, and Wilmington.

Minutes in good order appear in all records examined.

The following district supermtendents' reports are recorded: Elizabeth City, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greenville, New Bern, Sanford, and Wil- mington.

The attendance is recorded for these districts:? Elizabeth City, Fayette- ville, Greenville, New Bern, Rockingham, Rocky Mount, and Sanford.

These district conference books of reports are included: Elizabeth City, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greenville, New Bern, Rocky Mount, Sanford, and Wilmington.

We recommend that all district conference minutes should be in the official binder, that the most current reports be placed in the front of the binder, that inside tabs be used to designate years, and that no more than six years of reports be in the binders.

We further recommend for the coming year these continuing guidelines for the reports to be included in the district conference record binders:

1 . The minutes for the district conference.

2. The district superintendent's composite report.

3. The attendance records by charges.

4. The book of reports.

5. That all district conference records beyond six years be placed in the repository of the Conference Commission on Archives and History.

6. That the minutes be signed by the district superintendent as well as by the district conference secretary.

Robert S. Pullman, Chairperson 284

Composite Report of the District Superintendents

It is a high privilege to give this report of the district superintendents. In reality, this is your report because you are a part of this report and without your generous support this report would be far from what it is. We are indeed grateful to you for all that you have done.

MEMBERSHIP: Many of you will recall last year when this report was given by Dr. J.V. Early, a challenge was issued to reverse the trend of the net loss in membership. The loss was small, 21 members, but of great concern. I am proud to say that this trend is now reversed and we are happy to report an increase in membership of 370 members. This may seem to be a small increase and we should not be content, but strive to continue this trend. All of the districts did not show an increase in mem- bership, but the following districts had an increase: Fayetteville, with the largest increase of 270 members, Wilmington, Greenville, Rockingham, Burlington and Elizabeth City.

There was a slight decrease of .18% in the Conference average atten- dance at worship; a decrease of 109 persons baptized; a decrease of 1,564 persons in total Church School Membership. There was an increase in average Church School attendance.

PROGRAMS: The Division of Lay Life and Work with Mr. G.L. Garrick of Jacksonville, Chairperson; The United Methodist Women with Mrs. Clarence Cade of Fayetteville, President; The United Meth- odist Youth, Steve Banks of Raleigh, President, have all led their respec- tive organizations in promoting the work of the Church. Retreats, rallies and workshops have proved to be a source of information as well as inspiration.

The Casewell Parish-Burlington District, the Pamlico Parish in the New Bern District; the Person Parish and the South Granville Parish in the Durham District have proved that forms of cooperative parish plans will work where persons are understanding and willing to try. The Fay- etteville Urban Ministry Summer Day Camp Program reached 450 young persons from the ghetto areas of Fayetteville and a very successful labora- tory experience for Workers With Children and Youth was held in Sampson County Cluster Group. The Mary Jeanne Blackburn Scholar- ship Fund at Methodist College was initiated by the Fayetteville District.

Scout Troops, Meals on Wheels, outings for patients at Cherry State Hospital, worship services at rest homes and day camps for the retarded were some of the activities carried on in the Goldsboro District. Whitley Memorial: Smithfield, has a Sunday School Class for the retarded and had a very successful Vacation Church School for the same group. The Rose Hill Church sponsored a day camp for the retarded. Prison min- istries, summer beach ministries, golden age ministries have been among the many concerns of the other districts.

The lay speakers have been called upon to supply vacant pulpits during the period of "The No Silent Pulpit Program," and at other times. These lay speakers have rendered a tremendous service.

A slight decrease was noted in the giving to World Com- munion, Human Relations Day, Student Day and to the Ten Dollar Club. We are current with our recent commitment to North Carolina Wesleyan College.

CONCLUSION:

Again, we express our thanks to the members and pastors; to the dis- trict workers; to the members of the Boards and agencies; to the mem- bers of the Conference Staff and to our Director for all you have done in promoting the program of our Conference.

Four years ago, Bishop Robert M. Blackburn was appointed to the Raleigh Area. He came to our area with zeal and enthusiasm in the inter- est of our Conference. We thank you for your leadership. Mrs. Black- burn, in like manner has gathered the ministers' wives about her in a close relationship. It had been some time since we have had an episcopal leader with a family. We are delighted with the manner in which Frances Blackburn has assumed leadership in her community. We hold the Blackburns in high esteem. The fourth year of Bishop Blackburn's lead-

287

ership was still filled with thoughts and activities in mind, and because of your gracious leadership, we shall continue on to higher heights. We have realized that "we are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle, face it;" Tis God's gift. Be Strong!

James H. McCallum, President of the Cabinet

Burlington District

NICHOLAS W. GRANT DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

May I begin my third report on the work of the United Methodist Chur- ch in the Burlington District by expressing my gratitude for the fine work which has been done in the development of the Caswell County Cooperative Parish. During this year the fifteen United Methodist Chur- ches have been joined by two Presbyterian pastorates in a united effort to make more meaningful the work of the church in the life of Caswell Coun- ty-

A central business office has been established in Yanceyville with the ser- vice of a full time secretary. The following areas of service have been projected: Christian Workers Training, Youth Work, Music, Scout Work, Lake Ministry, Evangelism, World Hunger, Missions, Curriculum Workshop, Stewardship Workshop, and Prison Ministry. A county Wide Evangelistic Crusade is planned for the summer of 1976.

Each church contributes to the unified budget which also is supported by the Duke Endowment. May we take this opportunity to express our ap- preciation for the leadership and guidance of personnel from both the Duke Endowment and The Duke Divinity School. Two Duke Divinity School students are assigned for work with the Parish.

The churches of the District continue to render service to the aged and to those with special needs.

MEMBERSHIP AND EVANGELISM - The statistics on membership changes are not too bad until all additions and subtractions are made. This gives the Burlington District an increase for 1975 of 38 persons. Several churches corrected their rolls during the year.

Below you will find the District membership statistics : Received 318 by profession of faith - Lost 188 by death

Received 298 by transfer from other Methodist churches - Lost 255 to Methodist churches.

Received 147 from other denominations - Lost 108 to other denominations Removed 174 by Charge Conference action

BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS: - Many improvements have been made on the Physical properties of the Burlington District. Faith Church in Burlington broke ground in May for a new parsonage. Ten other charges have carried out extensive improvements on their parsonages.

Front Street will begin construction on a million dollar plus project soon. Other churches building educational buildings are : Bethel on the Burlington Ct., Friendship, New Hope and Purley, Clover Garden on the Whitney Cross Charge.

288

Cedar Cliff of the Christ Church-Cedar Cliff Charge completed Con- struction of a church, and Semora of the Milton Charge added an education unit.

FINANCES - At the close of 1975 our District met all of its financial obligations in full. In the fall charge conferences the percentage of ac- ceptances for the various financial items were as follows: Single Figure 95.66%, Ministerial Education 67.94%, Interdenominational Cooperation 61.30%, and Black Colleges 76.21%.

APPRECIATION - For the support of the 19,391 members of local chur- ches who cooperated with their leaders, and the 48 members of the clergy in making our work a success, may I express our gratitude. For the hard work of Mrs. R.G. Wilson, District President of United Methodist Women, and her dedicated core of workers who have supported the total program of the church, may I say thank you.

A special word of appreciation goes to George H. Forehand who has ser- ved as our District Lay Leader for eight years and now turns this task to another. All of us have been inspired by his service as he has gone beyond call of duty. Though we shall miss him in this office we look forward to his leadership in another area of our work.

This has been a good year indeed.

Goldsboro District

J. PAUL EDWARDS, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

This is the report tor the dedicated and loyal ministers, 49, and layper- sons, 15,016, of the Goldsboro District for 1975.

SPECIAL MINISTRIES - Our churches reach out into the community to serve. Some of these services are worship services in rest homes, sponsorship of scout troops, meals on wheels, outings for patients at Cherry State Hospital. Rose Hill sponsored a day camp for the retarded. Whitley Memorial, in Smithfield, has a Sunday School class for the retarded, and had a very successful Vacation Church School for the same group. MEMBERSHIP - Our churches received 250 persons on profession of faith, 200 by transfer from other United Methodist churches, and 126 by transfer from other denominations. It seems that we will never get our church rolls corrected and up to date, so, as a result of removing 141 by action of the Charge Conference, we showed a loss of 50.

BUILDING PROGRAMS AND DEDICATIONS St. Paul Church, Gold- sboro, completed a parsonage at a cost of $105,000; Institute charge renovated its parsonage; Jerusalem-Bethel charge built a $40,000 par- sonage to be occupied following Annual Conference; Bishop Blackburn dedicated the education building at Mt. Olive: First which had cost $193,000; Edgerton Memorial, in Selma, did extensive renovation to its sanctuary; Trinity church completed a $52,000 parsonage; Walker Memorial, on the Wayne circuit, built a $33,000 education building; the district superintendent dediced Kenly's $40,000 parsonage and Bishop Blackburn dedicated the Westwood church, on the Wayne circuit, which had cost $50,000 to construct.

289

FINANCES - For the sixty consecutive year the Goldsboro District has paid 100% or more of its Single Figure Acceptance. This year 100.38% of ac- ceptance was paid, and 99.7% was paid on total askings. For next year our churches accepted 99.6% of the askings. In addition our churches paid 65% of the asking on the North Carolina Wesleyan College Special which is intended to be raised over a period of three years.

APPRECIATION - A word of thanks must go to the fine ministers of this district. They are dedicated and hard working servants of God, and this report reflect in only a small way some of the fruits of their labor. It is also quite obvious that we have very dedicated and devout laypersons. Our special thanks go to our District Lay Leader, Thomas E. Strickland, to the president of United Methodist Women, Mrs. Edith Holloman, and to William S. Marley, who coordinates our Lay Speaker program. He works hard to assure our churches that there would be no silent pulpit during Lent.

Greenville District

R.T. COMMANDER, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

This report summarizes the tremendous faithfulness and dedication of the 15,753 laypersons and 45 pastors of the Greenville District who make up the membershp of its 69 churches. This is mostly a statisticial record and statistics say little about things for which the Greenville District is well- known : cooperation, spiritual growth, hard work, and delightful frien- dship.

EVANGELISM : We are happy to report an increase in membership within the Greenville District of 197. Although this is no great growth, it is still on the upside at a time when the United Methodist Church generally has been on the decline. We hope for greater growth for our Lord in the months and years to come. Almost every church in the district has held a revival and many churches are taking evangelism seriously through lay visitation evangelism.

LAY LIFE AND WORK: Our laity have been busy with Kingdom en- terprises through the United Methodist Men, United Methodist Women, United Methodist Youth Fellowship, the District Lay Rally, the No-Silent- Pulpit program, as well as regular local and district programs. Our Lay Rally was a high moment in the year as a fun-filled evening was climaxed with a Christ-filled sermon by our own friendly and dedicated Bishop Robert M. Blackburn. Three student pastors were recipients of scholar- ships funded by Lay Rally offerings.

NEW CHURCH BUILDINGS: A new church building at Bethany on the Kinston Circuit was completed; Chapman's Church on the Vanceboro Circuit brick-veneered its exterior; a fellowship hall at Lane's Chapel on the same charge is under construction; Providence Church at Chocowinity has relocated and a new building is under construction; Jarvis Memorial Church has purchased an attractive $43,000 parsonage for its associate pastor; Stantonsburg Church has plans for a new fellowship hall and Westminster in Kinston is in the planning stage for a new or enlarged sanc- tuary; plans are also in the making for renovations and additions at Noble's Chapel, Holy Trinity in Greenville, and Queen Street in Kinston.

290

Although we had no church or parsonage dedictions, many debts were reduced and buildings remodeled and refurnished. As an example, Pink Hill purchased an adjoining lot and dedicated its stained-glass windows. LOCAL AND GLOBAL MINISTRIES: Young adults from our district participated in the Conference Bolivian Work Team; Jarvis Memorial Church sent its own work team to Haiti ; many churches funded Advance Specials. Our churches have been active in meeting human need through the hunger appeal, Guatemalan earthquake relief, through support of character-bulding groups such as boy scouts, girl scouts, youth fellowship, through spirit-directed programs such as promotion of Bible reading and Bible-study groups, and distribution of large-print Upper Rooms for the blind. Vietnamese refugees have been adopted by congregations, tran- sportation furnished to Church for sheltered workshop residents, magazines and books collected for prison and alcoholic rehabilitation cen- ters, and many other worthy ministries. For inspiration benefiting the en- tire community Bethel Church had an outdoor Living Nativity Scene, and other churches presented outstanding dramatic and musical programs, as well as services centered around Christmas trees, candlelighting, and love feasts.

FINANCES : The Greenville District paid 100.08% of its Single Figure Ac- ceptance and 91.7% of its apportionment. This is an increase of 4.1% over the paid apportionment of Single Figure last year. There was also an in- crease over last year's receipts in Ministerial Education Fund, In- terdenominational Fund, General Advance Specials, Conference Advance Specials, Youth Service Fund, Black College Fund, and Lake Junaluska Fund. For 1976, all but ten charges have accepted 100% of Single Figure.

Special commendation is justly given to Mrs. Jean Cuthrell, our district president of the United Methodist Women, Frank Steinbeck, our District Lay Leader, Ralph Hardee, our district treasurer and the dedicated leaders of our District Council on Ministries. These persons have given generously of their time, ideas, and energies for the furtherance of the Kingdom.

I wish to finally say concerning the pastors and laypersons of the Green- ville District, our beloved Bishop and our Conference staff, the only thing worthy to be said : they love the Lord and serve Him gladly. We thank God that we are part of His family, likewise we thank Him for the Christian heritage of able leadership which goes back to the original cornerstone Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord.

New Bern District

H.F. LEATHERMAN, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

The following report is made with deep appreciation for the dedication of pastors and laypersons to the cause of Christ and His church. EVANGELISM : During the year of 1975 the pastors received 275 on Con- fession of Faith, 224 from other United Methodist Churches and 179 from Other Denominations for a total of 678. Members removed in all catergories totaled 843, thus the district had a loss of 165 members over the year.

CHURCH SCHOOL: The enrollment increased by 149, but the average attendance decreased by 87. These figures and those under Evangelism in-

291

dicate areas of concern.

STEWARDSHIP: The Single Figure Apportionment for the district was $255,579.00 and $243,867.00 was accepted. The amount paid on Ac- ceptance was $239,789.95 or 93.8% . The district has made progress in all areas of Stewardship by increasing the amount accepted and paid on Black College Fund, Interdenominational Cooperation Fund, Ministerial Education Fund and increased support of Advance Specials. LAY LIFE AND WORK: Our district had a very fine Lay Rally with ap- proximately 550 in attendance and an offering of $660.00 for scholarships. BUILDING PROGRAMS: Clarks Church on the Beech Grove Charge has been completed and is now in use.

A new Educational Building and Sanctuary renovation program is nearing completion at Harkers Island.

A new Sanctuary and Educational Building are under construction at Marshallberg.

A new Sanctuary has been completed and is now occupied at Salter Path.

PARSONAGES: Franklin Memorial in Morehead City has purchased a home for a parsonage and the Trenton Charge has been given a home and will soon be occupied by the pastor.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN : Three Sub-district Meetings were held with good attendance and an excellent program on the theme "Unity In Community"

UNITED METHODIST YOUTH FELLOWSHIP: The youth of the district continue to manifest concern and seek to be a part of all activities and programs.

Raleigh District

W.B. PETTEWAY, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

My first report as a district superintendent is made with sincere ap- preciation for the faithful labors of our 53 pastors and generous support of our nearly 28,000 members in the Raleigh District. We have tried to promote the full program of the Church. In many areas there has been progress and much good work in Christ's name has been done.

We are pleased to report a net increase in membership of 166. It is significant to note that 416 persons were received on Profession of Faith. Though we have not had the numerical growth we would like, we now believe the downward trend has been reversed and our people are serious about evanglism.

There seems to be a renewed interest in the importance of the Church School. Apex has done an outstanding job in increasing church school enrollment and attendance. The quality of our church school work con- tinues to improve. Youth work in many of the churches has abandoned traditional patterns, and has thereby become a challenging and exciting part of The Church's life.

There are indications of growing stewardship throughout the district. The people have contributed almost $15,000 to World Missions and more than $11,000 to relieve World Hunger. $70,000 was subscribed in The Wesleyan college Campaign. Almost 96% of The Single Figure Asking was accepted by the churches of the district. Pastors salaries showed a good in-

292

crease.

Another indication of activity and commitment on the part of our people can be seen in plans for a new sanctuary at White Plains and Ben- son Memorial. Contracts will be let this Fall. A new parsonage was pur- chased by Wesley Memorial in Raleigh. Ebenezer recently completed and consecrated a new parsonage. Vance Charge and Home Memorial, Clay- ton, have dedicated parsonages. An extensive renovation program has made Hollands Church most attractive.

The work of The United Methodist Women continues vigorous and ef- fective. Both the quality and the quantity of the work of this organization is outstanding.

It is a privilege to be associated with the loyal people of The Raleigh District, and I thank God for His sustaining power during the year.

Rockingham District:

C.G. McCARVER, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

The Rockingham District is just completing its first four years of existen- ce. It embraces Richmond, Robeson and Santland Counties and is com- posed of some of the most loyal Methodist Ministers and Lay Persons to be found anywhere. We feel proud and honored to be a part of such a progressive group of Methodists.

EVANGELISM: during 1976 Conference year the pastors and laymen have been instrumental in gaining a new increase of 202 members. The average attendance in both Church School and Worship services show an increase.

BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements have been made at Prospect, New Zion, Beauty Spot, Central in Laurinburg, First in Laurin- burg, Lumberton Circuit, St. George-Piney Grove, Roberdel, Pee Dee; Dedication was held for Central Parsonage, Educational Building, and Annex. The Educational Building was dedicated at Bethesda. Prospect in the midst of completing educational addition; Beauty Spot is renovating its plant; East Rockwell will dedicate its educational annex in the near future; Rowland will soon dedicate its new Educational plant. Philadelphus is planing a new Sanctuary; Ash Pole is building a new Sanc- tuary; Fellowship-Hamlet is planning a new facility; Pleasant Grove is about to embark on building a new educational facility; Glenwood has purchased a new parsonage lot; West Rockingham purchased a new par- sonage. A new District Parsonage was purchased and furnished. LUMBERTON RETIREMENT HOME: Under the very capable leader- ship of the Reverend LaFon C. Vereen we will be in the new facility by Easter this year.

MISSIONS: Missionary giving has increased this year in mission specials. The Single Figure will be already paid in full by closing date. UNITED METHODIST WOMEN: Under the leadership of Mrs. George Briley, the United Methodist Women have done excellent work. THE LAITY: The District Lay Activities has been re-organized this year and Mr. Howard Cooper is Lay Leader. The District Lay Rally was a huge success in attendance -over 800 in attendance, Prospect having over 200 present. Dr. Leo Jenkins was the speaker.

The Rockingham District has enjoyed a good year and looks forward to

293

even greater things. It is a pleasure to be a part of its program and Kingdoms work.

Rocky Mount District

J.M. CLINE, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

The ministries of the pastors and laypersons of the Rocky Mount district are recorded with honor upon the hearts of men, women, and children and upon the manuscripts of God. Some highlights of the year, 1975, should be recorded in the minutes of our Annual Conference.

Documenting the fact that leadership in the district in many places has been outstanding are two special awards made by the 1975 Session of the North Carolina Annual Conference. Mr. James R. Watkins, our District Lay Leader and Chairperson of the District Council on Ministries, received recognition as Lay Person of the Year. Rosemary Church, Roanoke Rapids was honored as Church of the Year for churches in the membership range 500-1000.

EVANGELISM - Evangelism continues a top priority of the district, New World Missioner, Mr. B.J. Tommy, Methodist layman of Sierre Leone, preached the week of March 16th at Englewood United Methodist Church. Two of our ministers, Billy Carden and Tom Collins, have received special training and are now serving the Conference as New Life Missioners. The total membership of the district is 18,545, four less than at the close of 1974. Moving from a net loss of 23 at the close of 1974 we believe we are moving in the right direction and will report a net gain in membership at the close of the year 1976.

EDUCATION — The total membership in the Church Schools of the district decreased from 8,988 to 8,853 during the year, but this was ac- companied with an increase in average attendance. Increase in par- ticipation in learning groups other than the Church School totaled 529. We point out with pride the strength and vitality shown by the Youth Sub- District organization in the Roanoke Rapids area. It carries on a ministry to and through the youth that merits recognition throughout the Con- ference.

FINANCES - For the calendar year 1975 the churches paid 92.4% of their Single Figure apportionment and 98.9% of the Single Figure acceptance. The following amounts were paid: Lake Junaluska - 3,797; General and Conference Advance Specials - 9,337 ; and $10 Club - 2,420. BUILDINGS - The Educational Building at Spring Church on the Spring- Garysburg Charge was dedicated by the District Superintendent on July 27, 1975. New Educational Buildings are under construction at Wilson: West Nash; Nashville; Hawkins on the Hawkins-Tabor Charge; and New Hope on the Roanoke Charge.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN - Focus of the North Carolina Con- ference United Methodist Women was upon First United Methodist chur- ch, Rocky Mount as the site of the 1975 Annual Meeting on October 3 and 4. The District Meeting of United Methodist Women met at First Church, Wilson on October 23rd with Dr. Marvin Vick, Superintendent of the Methodist Home for Children as speaker.

DISTRICT LAY RALLY - The District Lay Rally was held at First Chur- ch, Rocky Mount, the program highlighting the Conference emphasis

294

upon Youth and Young Adults. The speaker, Mr. Weddie Huffman, per- sonnel official with Burlington Industries, inspired and challenged the group of 500 men, women, and youth to recognize opportunities for being Christian in our every-day relationships and activities.

Sanford District

J.H. McCALLUM, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Thanks to Almighty God and to the members and pastors of the Sanford District for another prosperous year.

MEMBERSHIP: Our district gained 541 members but we had a loss of 658, making a net loss of 117. We have accepted this with regret and have begun to rectify this loss in a concerted effort. We trust that the next report will show an increase.

STEWARDSHIP : We have had an increase in the percentage of the Single Figure Apportionment paid over last year by 2.69% . The total increase for salaries, travel and utilities for the pastors was 16.86%. Most of the charges have been involved in a program of stewardship over the past year with marvelous results.

PROGRAMS: The District Council on Ministries, the Reverend Reginald W. Ponder, chairperson, was engaged in a two-day planning retreat. The program for the year was well planned and carried out. The workshop in local church leadership was well attended. The Laity Rally, under the leadership of our lay leader, L.M. Lutterloh, was held at Sanford: St. Luke, with a large crowd attending. Mrs. Jo Ann Foster of Charlotte and Bishop Blackburn were the speakers. The Lay Leader accompanied the district superintendent to the charge conferences, reminding the layper- sons of the many opportunities to be witnesses for Christ. Fifty-five lay speakers took part in the "No Silent Pulpit Program", traveling 4,900 miles to fill sixty-five speaking engagements and speaking to approximately 4,625 persons. We commend these lay speakers who have taken advantage of this opportunity to proclaim the gospel and witness for Christ. The laymen's two-day retreat at Camp Cresmont was well attended and proved to be a great spiritual uplift. The women, under the leadership of Mrs. C.P. McMillan, have moved forward. We feel that the program will con- tinue to progress under the leadership of the new president, Mrs. Max Matthews. The youth organization of which the Reverend Tommy Hern- don, Jr. is coordinator and Kevin King is president, has had a very good year. We hope to move in the direction of organizing a young adult group. GUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS: The Morris Chapel Church has completed its renovations. The Lemon Springs Church has completed a beautiful parsonage and the church building has been repaired. The Pleasant Hill Charge is building a new parsonage. The Cameron Church on the Vass Charge is erecting an education building. The McQueens Church on the Sanford Circuit is making plans for an education building and church building repairs. Sanford: St. Luke has completed a Youth House.

EVANGELISM: The district had an intensive period of visitation and preaching event during the month of February, under the guidance of the Reverend Wilbur C. Teachey, chairperson of Evangelism. Reports from this effort are encouraging and the next report should reveal an increase in

295

membership.

Wilmington District

JAMES A. AUMAN, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

The Wilmington District council on Ministries began this year with plans to make Evangelism and Christian Education top priorities, and we have seen great interest in both areas. We had a net gain in membership of 235. Total membership as of January 1, 1976, was 15,175. Many of our congregations held Lenten services and also studied Bishop Mack Stokes' book "The Holy Spirit and Christian Experience."

Church School training opportunitites were offered in Wilmington, Long Beach-Southport, and Elizabethtown, besides our having two vacation church school workshops with enthusiastic participation by 30 of our 42 charges.

During last summer, a vital ministry was provided in our beach areas: Carolina Beach, Ocean view, and the area south of Oak Island which was served by Shallotte: Camp and Shallotte Ct. We are continuing efforts for summer ministry to those who vacation on our coast, and we are grateful for the financial contributions made by local churches beyond our district.

An outstanding event for the Wilmington District has been that four young men and one young woman were approved by the District Com- mittee on the Ministry for License to Preach. They are: Clayton Z. Price, Jimmie Ray Tatum, Raleigh Clyde Dixon, Kenneth Ray Worthington, and Mrs. Rena Vereen. At the present time, we have several other can- didates for the ministry.

We are grateful to the concerned laymen who have worked diligently to improve physical facilities of churches and parsonages. Building projects are in progress in Whitesville, Dixon and Andrews chapel on Shallotte Ct., Old Dock, and plans are being made at Bethel-Lebanon for a new par- sonage. Additional land has been received by Pine Valley, Wilmington, and Bethlehem Church on the Bladen Charge. Trinity and Wesley's Chapel, Elizabethtown, have purchased additional real estate.

The District Parsonage was dedicated on November 2, and Open House held for the district with more than 200 persons attending.

Financially, the Wilmington District responded wholeheartedly to the call for N.C. Wesleyan College, last fall, and reached its quota, with $20,000 of our $33,000 goal paid. We came to the end of the 1975 finan- cial year having paid 98% of our Single Figure acceptance.

For the second consecutive year, in Wilmington, The District Coor- dinator of Missions has initiated a "Mission Saturation Week-end", resulting in improved support for Advance Specials and other mission work. We are proud that two of our young people, Tom Ballard and Kathi Beall, will be working with the Bolivia Work Team this summer.

A word of thanks to Dean Morton, District Lay Leader, and Mrs. M.L. Barton, District President of United Methodist Women, for their out- standing leadership in all areas of work with the laity. The Lay Rally in February, and the District and Subdistrict meetings of United Methodist Women were well- attended and in all endeavors these wonderful groups have supported the work of the District. Also, three District Youth Rallies were held.

296

And, to the District council on Ministries, a special word of thanks for doing well the job assigned and helping to carry out the program of the district — to these leaders, and to the 70 congregations go the credit for a good and busy year.

Methodist Foundation, Inc.

During the past year — our twenty-first — the investment policies of your foundation have again withstood the test of the market place, and I am pleased to say that our long range investment objectives to date have proven to be sound. Earnings and distributed dividends — since inceptions — have shown an uninterrupted year-to-year improvement. During 1975, dividend distribution was in excess of $293,000 — by far the largest earn- ings distribution to date. Total assets of your foundation now exceed five million dollars. The Board of Pensions participation at year end was 56% of total assets; and, continues to grow both dollar wise and percent wise in importance.

During the year, we have further consolidated the fixed income sector of the portfolio into larger units; and, have added both to the fixed in- come and the real estate mortgage sectors at near historically high interest yields.

There is reason to believe that during the coming year earnings will again reflect a continued improvement — which will make possible an even greater dividend distribution for the year ending 1976.

Report of the Joint Advisory Committee on Higher Education

The 1975 sessions of both the North Carolina and the Western North Caro- lina Annual Conferences authorized the appointment of a Joint Advisory Com- mittee on Higher Education. The committee of ten representatives from each conference has been appointed by the respective bishops for each conference.

The purpose of the committee is to continue the study and advisory functions begun in the Joint Planning and Study Committee which completed its work with the submission of its report to the 1975 sessions of the two conferences.

The Joint Advisory Committee, in defining the mandate given it by the conferences, has explored several areas of possible activity. A high priority is seen in a continuing review of information from each of our colleges with a view to advising the conferences as to the progress of the several schools and an exploration of additional possibilities of cooperation. The committee seeks the coordination of the higher education commitments of both conferences, mind- ful that our United Methodist students attend both public and United Meth- odist schools across conference lines in large numbers. The committee is devel- oping a plan for a study of campus ministry and anticipates requesting both conferences to join in the cost of this undertaking.

Methodist Information

Methodist Information seeks to get the news of the church to the church and to the secular world. There are times when we would wish for more visi- bility, but when we evaluate news that sell newspapers, we are glad that we are not front page.

We wish to commend the press coverage given, especially local papers that carry items from churches across the conference and recommend that the ministers and those responsible for communications at the local church level make more information available to local press. Newspaper clippings coming to Methodist Information indicate that most newspapers use all the information that comes to their attention, especially is this true of the small non-daily papers whose reader audience relate to the churches in this area.

Coverage of the United Methodist Church news in eastern North Carolina has been carried by UPI, and AP press wire services, TV and radio outlets and church press. Special commendations are due the Fayetteville Observer the Fayetteville Times, the News and Observer, the wire services and other media.

This Annual Conference has been carried by the Fayetteville Observer, The Fayetteville Times, the News and Observer, and through AP and UPI to the other papers in our area. Channel 5 television in Raleigh has covered the Conference. Taped reports are being carried by WPTF Raleigh, and the Caro- lina sponsored news network which feeds local radio stations across the conference.

The Conference Pictorial Directory being photographed during the con- ference is sponsored by Methodist Information. This will be a valuable tool for our ministry, and there is hope that a new directory will be produced each five years hereafter.

Division of Lay Life and Work

There have been times during the past five years when I have had a reluc- tance to make a report to the Annual Conference because I felt that all of the goals we had set for ourselves at the beginning of the year had not been accom- plished. In some cases we did not even come close, but this year is different. Many of you have had the experience of being on a large ship as it was leaving the dock. The order is given to cast off all lines and the huge engines begin to groan as the giant propellars churn the water. The whole ship begins to vibrate, but nothing happens for what seems like several minutes and then the great vessel slowly begins to inch forward. It takes a great effort to get that huge mass of steel moving in a given direction, but once moving it becomes equally hard to stop. We hope this is true of the Division of Lay Life and Work. In 1974 we groaned and vibrated, but we did not move far from the dock. In 1975 we had the momentum going and progress was made.

As usual, our Lay Rallies increased in attendance to nearly eight thousand. We do have two concerns, however. The first is that our programs and format continue to appeal to the Laity and not become the same old thing year after year. With this idea in mind we have begun experimenting with a new format in several of the districts and these changes have been well accepted. We hope to

303

implement these new ideas in other districts during the coming years. Our second concern is attendance. The Rallies continue to grow, but the partici- pants are changing. Five years ago we had just under seven thousand in atten- dance and they were nearly all men. Today we have over 7500 but half are women. We are very pleased to have added the 3500 women, but what has happened to the 3000 men we seem to have lost? We need to put some thought into how we can get them back.

The Lay Retreat held last year here at Methodist College was a great success as far as the program was concerned, however the attendance was small. An- other fine program is being offered at the Retreat this year to be held June 26 and 27 here at the College. For the first time this will be a true Laity Retreat with the ladies being included.

Our January Workshops seem to improve each year as new lay officers are trained for their work in the local church. A great deal of credit for the success of these workshops goes to Bob Baldridge. He puts a great deal of work and imagination into this project as well as all of the other projects he undertakes.

participation by the Laity of the North Carolina Conference at the South- eastern Jurisdictional Layman's Retreat has always been rather low, however a gradual improvement has been made from about 30 people five years ago to over 150 people last year.

The best pan of this report, the part where momentum comes in, is in reference to the United Methodist Men. It is in this area that the most progress has been made. As of April of this year the North Carolina Conference had the second largest number of United Methodist Men Groups registered with the Nashville office of any conference in the United States. We have 142 groups registered. We believe we have an equal number of United Methodist Men Groups who have never been chartered with Nashville and we urge them to do so. In a recent tabulation of UMM Groups submitting reports in the Bishop's Award Competition we learned that these Groups raised a surprisingly large amount of money for various church projects. Only one- third of the registered groups submitted reports and these were mostly from smaller churches, yet they reported a total of $40,000 raised during 1975. From this we could conserva- tively estimate that the total amount raised was well in excess of $100,000. This money was used for many purposes. In addition to the usual lawn mowing, painting and maintainence work some of the other projects reported were, spon- soring 50 different Boy Scout Troups, offering 25 Scholarships, taking church census, building athletic fields, working at our church camps, establishing local relief funds, building youth activity buildings, God's Acre Plantings, Air condi- tioning the church, carrying out a prison ministry to men and youth in our correctional institutions, purchasing organs, stained glass windows and chimes, paying salaries of organist and choir directors, buying church buses and even preparing meals honoring the women of the church. Twenty-five of the Groups reported carrying out a regular program of visitation to shut-ins and many groups sponsor regular prayer breakfasts and Bible study groups. And where did all of this money for these projects come from? From auctions, rummage sales, fair booths, Christmas tree sales, fish frys, steak suppers, chicken suppers, bar- beque dinners, fruit cake and peanut sales.

But all of this is secondary to the main purpose of United Methodist Men and that is to promote Christian fellowship among men and boys. According to the

304

reports submitted the United Methodist Men, where they are organized, have pursued this goal with success. With all of this successful activity on behalf of the church, how can anyone say, "We don't need a men's group in our church"? We could have done better, but it has been a good year.

Ministerial Course of Study School

The theme for the 1976 Ministerial Course of Study School is, as the brochure suggests, "Theology Plus." We are concerned that each lay pastor have a basic education in theology and especially in the Wesleyan theological perspective. There is a course in Bible courses in general theology and doctrine and in United Methodist history and doctrine as well. Further, there are three courses in preaching, three in pastoral care and counseling, and several in church life in general. We want to emphasize the practical dimensions of the pastor's theological education from the beginning.

The 1976 school begins with registration on Monday, June 28, and concludes on July 23. The 1975 enrollment was 289 with 68 students attending from the North Carolina Conference.

Again this year and especially this year -since it marks the retirement of Bill Sherman and Bob Bundy from the Conference Board of Ministry — I wish to express my deep personal appreciation for the splendid leadership which William Sherman and Robert Bundy have given to the lay pastor's work in your annual conference. These two men and many others have given supportive encouragement to all of us associated with the Ministerial Course of Study School. Thank you.

Paul A. Mickey, Director

Division of Stewardship

We close the first quadrennium of the Division of Stewardship taking note of progress in the work of the Division each year and also in the Department of Gifts and Wills. The Report of the Department of Gifts and Wills for this past Conference year is in a separate report.

The Division of Stewardship this year included the following activities. Ten churches have used the Christian Stewardship Crusade. The Buck- horn United Methodist Church on the Kenly Charge accepted the national invitation to test and evaluate the new Time and Talent Program devel- oped by Dwight Newberg. Members of the Executive Committee con- ducted a section on stewardship motivation in the January workshops in each district. A Training Seminar on Stewardship designed principally for District Chairpersons was held at Methodist College with 25 persons registered, and led by national staff members. In consultation with na- tional leaders, a model plan for Christian Family financial Planning was developed and local churches, sub-district and districts may wish to sched- ule a seminar of this through the Reverend C. Franklin Grill. Three mem- bers of our division, along with Mr. Grill, attended a workshop on Family Financial Planning last November. Throughout the year an emphasis has

305

been on tithing with promotional materials distributed through the Co- ordinated Mailing, and the District Chairpersons. We are happy to report the per capita giving of our people has increased to $95.00. A district workshop was developed on psychological aspects regarding stewardship in the Greenville and Eilizabeth City Districts.

To better equip our division members in the work of our division three of our members attended the Evangelism and Stewardship Conference in Philadelphia in January 1976, and the Chairperson of the Division and the Coordinator of Resources attended the National Association of Steward- ship Leaders meeting in Colorado Springs in April, 1975.

The Coordinator of Resources has held numerous consultations with churches regarding their stewardship programs.

Four Wills and Estate Planning Seminars were held during the year. On March 31, 1976, a Full time director of deferred giving was employed. See the details of this report in the Report of The Department of Gifts and Wills.

Department of Gifts and Wills

The Department of Gifts and Wills has worked during 1975 and 1976 to negotiate with Louisburg College, Methodist College, North Carolina Wesleyan College, Methodist Home for Children and Methodist Retire- ment Homes, Inc. to create a job description for a ful time director of deferred giving. This person would prepare a complete deferred giving program for those five institutions and other Conference agencies and local churches to enable individuals to employ this method of giving in their stewardship of capital. After several months of interviewing prospective presons, Jerald J. Pierce was employed on March 31, 1976 to fill this important position. This is the first time since 1970 that our Conference has had full time personnel in this vital area.

We know of a few wills that were probated this year to make

We know of a few wills that were probated this year to make bequests to our churches or Conference agencies. Since very little effort has been applied in this direction through the Department of Gifts and Wills, the results have been proportionate. We expect to be able to make a better report next year.

Funds have been disbursed on several scholarship funds and lifetime trusts already established. Methodist Foundation has agreed to continue to offer its investment facilities to the program of deferred giving as it is expanded under new leadership.

Task Force on the Black Church

The Task Force on the Black Church was appointed by Bishop Black- 306

burn in December of 1975. The first meeting of the Task Force was held January 31, 1976. Officers elected are :

RufusH. Stark, II — Chairperson Leroy Spells — Vice-chairperson Preston C . Jones — Secretary The Stated purpose is :

"To identify needs of the Black Church and make appropriate recom- mendations. In identifying needs, the Task Force will not attempt to duplicate services that are already being provided but may make attempts to coordinate some activities with other agencies of the Con- ference.

I. It became quickly apparent that the Annual conference action most significant to the Black Church was the creation of the Coordinator/ Enabler for Special Ministries and Economic Development staff posi- tion. The position was authorized in 1974 and was to have been fdled in June, 1975. The functions to be accomplished are clearly relevant to the well-being of minority groups in the area of our Conference and would thus result in strengthening the Black Church and increasing our Black constituency.

The Task Force has felt and expressed deep frustration that the posi- tion had not been filled. We do not feel comfortable with the explana- tion that in two years' time no one could be found who could fit the job description. It is imperative that the functions described in the paper adopted by the 1974 Annual Conference be fulfilled if we are to salvage any credibility among minorities both in our membership and our constituency.

II. We request that upgrading parsonages in our Black Churches be made a priority for this new quadrennium. Several of these charges do not provide parsonages. We feel that adequate housing is one dimension of a stronger base for ministry in our Black Churches.

III. General Conference made Ethnic Minority Churches one of the three major priorities for this quadrennium. In view of this action, it is the feeling of this task group that the scope of the Task Force on the Black Church should be enlarged to include all ethnic minority churches. We have made this recommendation to Bishop Blackburn.

IV. The 1976 General Conference has made provision for greatly expand- ed reach among our Black constituency. We are called upon to sup- port the appeal to participate in the providing of $5.5 million dollars across the nation. $2 million will be raised through apportioned giving. $3.5 million will be raised through adding a fifth lane to Ad- vance Special Giving.

By supporting forthrightly their appeal we will be in a position to tuilize funding by expanding our ministry with the Black constituency. We can all feel positive about the possibilities before us.

V. We commend to all local churches for careful study the report of the Consultation on Ethnic Minority Local Churches in the United Meth- odist Church, especially the section applying to the Black Church. The report is found in the Advance Edition of the Daily Christian Advocate, the section on the Black American Ethnic Minority Church on pageD70.

307

Several impacts come forth from the report.

A. That the whole church celebrate the rich heritage of Black Meth- odism and benefit from their tradition.

B. That we strengthen existing Black congregations.

C. That we heighten recruitment of Black pastoral leadership by: 1) Demonstrating that the appointive system is truly open and that a person's effectiveness as a minister of the gospel should not be categorized by race. 2) Providing adequate salaries for full-time ministry in Black Churches.

Task Force on Hunger

The Task Force on Hunger was organized on February 7, 1976. At the organizational meeting officers were elected and an Executive Committee formed.

Two things have been of concern to this Task Force since its inception. The first has been CLARIFICATION. There had been some lack of clarity last year as to the relation of "One Great Hour of Sharing" to a special offering for "World Hunger." The Executive Committee sought to prevent any misunderstanding this year and a letter was compiled to send to all churches. The letter emphasized the needs of hunger, gave sugges- tions for ways to raise money for hunger alleviation, explained the impor- tance of "One Great Hour of Sharing" and "World Hunger Advance," and showed how to mark the offerings sent to the Conference Treasurer.

The second concern has been COORDINATION. Much discussion has taken place as to ways of coordinating efforts in the local church in raising money for hunger relief. Our Task Force will be seeking to aid local churches in these efforts during the coming months.

The importance of the work of the Task Force on Hunger is emphasized by the action of our last General Conference in Portland. At that meeting the problems dealing with hunger were given high priority. By action of the General Conference 2 million dollars for "Hunger Missional Priority" will be raised through the regular budgets of local churches. In addition 3 million will be designated under the Advance as "Hunger Missional Prior- ity." We recognize the magnitude of our task but are convinced that the resources are available to meet this tremendous challenge.

As we attack the problem of hunger we are aware that solutions will not be simple. We also know that financial support, by itself, is not enough. During the coming months and years we will be called upon to be involved in efforts to alleviate hunger around the world. We believe the approach of WHEAT (World Hunger Education Action Together) gets at the prob- lems of hunger in emergency situations as well as "root causes." The sug- gestions made by WHEAT are five-fold: (1) Commit yourself to intensive study of the problem of hunger, (2) Become directly involved in dealing with hunger issues in your community, (3) Support advocacy efforts at state and national level for public policy changes on food and related issues, (4) Provide financial support for attacking hunger, and (5)

308

Change your own life -style toward reduced and less wasteful food and energy consumption.

Our Task Force on Hunger will seek to work diligently to get our churches involved in the tremendous task of alleviation of hunger "at home and abroad."

Division of Missions

This report of the Division of Missions comes at the end of the quadren- nium. During this period the report and reports of the past four years will reflect :

1. Significant increase in missional giving through the Advance program of the church. Records indicate a 427% increase in giving through the Advance since 1972. The numbers of churches involved in the Advance has grown significantly.

2. The development of the Volunteers in Mission ministry has come about in this quadrennium. This year the fourth Conference Mission Work Team goes to Bolivia. For the first time a Conference team will go to Tampa, Florida, The Mission Team concept is proving to be a viable program for local church sponsorship.

3. The dawning awareness that we are truly a part of a Global Church, receiving as well as giving.

4. Clear gains in Urban Ministries through the development of solid un- derstanding leading to establishment of programs in our Urban set- tings.

5. A desire to give special attention to pastoral leadership and support in our smaller churches. This emphasis has led to investigation of ways to build the confidence of smaller churches. The result has been the founding of several cooperating charges.

Report of the Committee on Education and Cultivation

The Committee on Education and Cultivation has increased its sub- committees from two to four during the quadrennium, 1972-1976. These sub-committees are The Advance, Mission Studies, Interpretation, and Volunteers in Short Term Mission. The work of mission education and cultivation continues to grow in the North Carolina Conference as local churches become more responsive to the commission to be involved in outreach ministries.

The Advance Committee of the Board of Global Ministries in New York indicates that giving to the Advance increased since 1972 by 206%. In the same space of time, the giving to the Advance in the North Carolina Con- ference increased by 427%. We are pleased to have come to the point

310

where in 1975 every member of North Carolina United Methodism was represented by $1.11 in missional giving. We have improved from being 72nd in mission giving in the United States among the Annual Conferences to 45th. Four years ago, we had less than one dozen churches giving $500 or more to missionaries' salary support. Today we have churches giving $750 or more to the support of 22 missionaries serving in 10 countries. There are 126 churches giving $500 or more in advanced specials at this time. The membership in the Ten Dollar Club increased by 10% this year. We thank God for the movement of His Holy Spirit in our midst as we become more and more involved in the mission of the church.

Through the effort of special Mission Studies, our Conference Leader- ship School has developed an outstanding approach to missionary education. The dean of the CLS is now the chairperson of the sub- committee on Mission Studies. More and more churches within the North Carolina Conference are seriously studying one or more of the annual Mission Studies. Guides were provided for their study. Also, visual education is more available through the Media Center, formerly TRAFCO in Raleigh. Reverend Bunn, having represented the Board of Global Ministries in Africa at the World Council of Churches in 1975, will be teaching in two Conference Leadership Schools the study, South Africa: A Dilemma for Christians.

The Committee on Interpretation is a new sub committee of the Com- mittee on Cultivation and Education which has the following purposes:

1. Planning all Conference-wide mission interpretation events, e.g., tri- district "Why Global?" seminars, district mission rallies.

2. Scheduling all missionary itineration by North Carolina Conference missionaries while home on furlough.

3. Assisting District Missionary Chairpersons in planning district Mission Saturation Events.

4. Providing lists of available mission interpreters for local churches.

5. Encouraging all local churches to provide mission interpretation in their communities.

6. Designing a brochure to interpret missions for North Carolina Con- ference United Methodists.

7. Assisting the Committee on Education and Cultivation in securing mission personnel for Annual Conference program, the Conference Leadership School, Lay Rallies, et cetera.

8. Publicity of Division of Missions Ministries in North Carolina Christian Advocate, Associated Press and United Press Wire, Television and newspapers.

During the Conference year 1975-1976, our major accomplishment was production of an interpretive booklet titled "Love Is" To Be Alive in Mission which presents a panorama of missionary programs and projects of our North Carolina Conference. Copies will be given to each Pastor and Work Area Chairperson on Missions.

The committee on interpretation provided an outline for slide presen- tation to be used by the Committee on Volunteers in their presentations across the Conference. The expanded committee also produced a color filmstrip: "Our Global Ministries," depicting how our Board of Global

311

Ministries shares the gospel at home and abroad. Projects located in the North Carolina Conference and supported by the Board were highlighted. Copies of this filmstrip have been placed in the Media Center and in each District Superintendent's office. The "Why Global?" event was planned and carried out by this committee with the help of other key Conference leaders.

This committee seeks to have the ministries of the Division of Missions communicated to the people of our Conference through special reports, a course in leadership school, and additional use of the media. There is no known equivalent to this committee at the Jurisdictional level.

Our newest sub-committee is the one on Volunteers in Short Term Mission. This committee has planned mission work teams in Bolivia and in the United States. Approximately 100 people have been involved in serving on these work teams. Presently, a group is preparing itself to go to the Alto Piano, to Villareal, both in Bolivia, and a group to Zolfo Springs, Florida, to work with Reverend Saul Espino. This sub-committee has also produced a guide booklet on developing work teams or short term mission projects.

Those of us who have served on the Committee on Education/Cul- tivation have appreciated the support we have received from the laity and clergy of the North Carolina Annual Conference. We especially appre- ciate the leadership of Bishop Robert M. Blackburn who has continued to challenge us beyond our achievements, being appreciative of what has been accomplished but knowing that there is still greater ministry to be performed. We trust that the new quadrennium, 1976-1980, will open even more doors for missional involvement throughout the world as we in North Carolina become a part of it. It has been a real joy on my part, as the Conference Missionary Secretary to serve in the North Carolina Conference and to represent you as President of the Southeastern Juris- diction Fellowship of Conference Missionary Secretaries. Southeastern Jurisdiction Fellowship of Conference Missionary Secretaries.

Church and Community Committee

The Church and Community Committee has been active this year in various programs and places. It is the responsibility of this committee to give supervision to the church and community workers and to see that these workers are adequately funded through National Division, Con- ference and Local funds. We have two workers in our Conference at the time of this report. Miss Betty Purkey, and Miss Bernice Ballance. We have assisted the Robeson County Church and Community toward a full time director, The Reverend Robert L. Mangum.

312

We have been active in the Tri-Conference Coalition as a means of relating our work in changing times to the work of our sister Conferences. We have been the contract agency through which The Association for Christian Services has worked in our Conference. We have continued the Church of the Year Award.

The Town and Country Parish Development Committee

This committee re-affirms its commitment to the fostering of a stronger Parish ministry. We encourage churches of small membership to engage in cooperative ministry with other nearby churches, thus strengthening the ministry of all churches involved. Such cooperation can, and should, begin with multi-church charges. We encourage leadership at all levels to be sen- sitive to this possibility. We are convinced that such cooperation is essential if the church of small membership is to take full advantage of its resources and provide significant ministry to its community.

Urban Committee

The major concern of the Urban Ministries Committee this year has been the failure of many churches in transitional communities to deal with the issues that confront them. We have encouraged and will continue to encourage these congregations to consider adopting forms of ministry to meet the needs of persons living in these rapidly changing (socially and economically) neighborhoods.

We commend The Reverend Eric Carson for the tremendous job he has done as director of FAYETTEVILLE URBAN MINISTRIES during the past two years. Under his leadership, this non-traditional form of ministry has become very productive in that the established churches of Fayetteville have been able to reach areas and confront issues that prior to 1974 were, for the most part, left alone.

We also commend The Reverend Gladys Williford and Mr. Bill Bingham for directing the Apartment Ministries Model at Wynnwood Park in Raleigh; the Reverend Preston Jones for his leadership at Cokesbury; the Reverend Frank Lloyd for his efforts in Durham; the Reverend John Hobbs for his creative venture in Jacksonville; Mr. Frank Ballard for his innovative spirit in Wilmington.

We have appreciated the financial support for these projects that has come from the Conference Advance, the North Carolina conference Division of Missions, The National Division of Missions, the Raleigh Board of Missions, and hundreds of concerned laymen.

We have also been most appreciative of the Reverend Neil C. Leach of ACTS for his dynamic leadership that has enabled our Conference to get some handles on and deal constructively with the many unique urban problems and issued that this complex area poses.

Report of the Committee on Church Extension

The principal activity of this committee is the Ten Dollar Club whose members contribute ten dollars on call, not to exceed three calls per year. Proceeds from these calls, formerly used exclusively to assist newly established congregations, now serve a three-fold purpose: to assist new congregations, to assist older churches who have encountered serious financial difficulties, and to assist overseas mission churches.

During the 1975-76 Conference year the following distributions were made of proceeds from the three Ten Dollar Club Calls:

Summer 1975: Parkwood, Durham $19,600.00

Winter 1975: (Overseas Call) , Iquiqui, Chile 13,100.00

Spring 1976: M Call, Walker-Memorial, Goldsboro 7,500.00

Spring 1976: \£ Call, Trinity, Marshallberg 8,000.00

Total distributed $28,600.00

In promoting church extension work, the committee's goal for Ten Dollar Club memberships equal to one percent of the Conference mem- bership appears to be realistic. During the year some 200 new Ten Dollar Club members were added, bringing the current total to 1,900. One per- cent of the present Conference membership (211,000) would be 2,110. Other goals and activities of the committee are :

All ministers in the North Carolina Conference are urged to become Ten Dollar Club members.

Observance of Church Extension Sunday, February 15, 1976. Promotion of Ten Dollar Club membership at the various district meetings and Conferences and in local churches.

William W. Austin, Chairperson

Division of Missions, Inc.— 1975-1976

Two proposed sites for new congregations were considered and sub- sequently rejected (Pinehurst and Kinston) .

Over a half million dollars loaned to churches for property purchases and building or improvement programs. Two new loans were processed through the Board of Global Ministries in New York.

Five Churches received aid through the Ten Dollar Club.

Twenty-two churches received grants from Division of Missions in amounts ranging from $500 to $10,000. Two of these grants were for par- sonages.

Loan funds total approximately $1 ,400,000.00.

There are about 1 ,900 members of the Ten Dollar Club.

The executive director consulted with and/or visited about fifty dif- ferent churches regarding plans to build, review building plans, prepare financial plans, inspect progress in building and consecrate or dedicate buildings.

The executive director works in cooperation with the local church building committee; the office of the Rural Church of The Duke En- dowment; the J.M. Ormond Center for Research, Planning and Develop-

314

ment; District Boards of Church Locations, and Building and commercial lending agencies and attorneys.

Committee on Parish Travel

In adopting the Report of the Committee to Study the Cost of Parish Travel, the 1975 Annual Conference charged the Bishop with the responsibility of appointing a standing Committee to conduct an on-going review and study of travel expense requirements within the Conference. This Committee, comprised of three at-large ministers and three lay persons, was duly appointed by the Bishop and makes the following report to the 1976 Annual Conference. Implementation of Parish Travel Expense Program

The basic suppositions on which the 1975 Annual Conference acted in adopting the recommendations of the Committee to study the Cost of Parish Travel to implement the Parish Travel Expense Program were :

1. Such a program would result in a more uniform, adequate and easily understood basis for reimbursing of pastors' travel expenses by the local churches.

2. Such a program would result in a better understanding on the part of the local church of the financial burden placed on the Pastor by inade- quate or no reimbursement for travel expenses and enable the local church to assume the responsibility for the travel necessary to carry out its programs.

3. Care should be taken to make certain that the program does not result in inequalities in making appointments at Annual Conference.

4. Each charge should be urged to provide a travel expense item in its budget beginning with the 1976 fiscal year with recognition that some charges would require a reasonable phase-in period for reaching the full amount called for by the recommended budgeting formula of 12 cents per mile for the first 15,000 miles and 9 cents per mile for the excess.

After consultation with the Bishop, members of the Cabinet and various pastors within the Conference, and based on its work in connection with the actual implementation of the program, the Committee on Parish Travel is pleased to report that the program was well received within the Conference and that a genuine effort was made on the part of the local charges to adhere to the basic goals of the program.

Recognizing that implementing the Travel Expense Program has placed added work on the Bishop and the District Superintendents, the Commit- tee would like to especially thank the Bishop and members of the Cabinet for their tireless efforts in working closely with the pastors and the local charges in the effective implementation of the program.

Inasmuch as the program is in its first year of operation and thus is in the early stages of development, the Committee does not feel that any major modifications are in order at this time. The Committee does, how- ever, recognize the need to provide for a clarification of two areas of con-

315

cern and, there, makes the following recommendations to the 1976 Annual Conference :

1. That the Conference should continue to use the pastors' combined salary, utilities and travel allowance (with travel allowance listed sepa- rately) as the basis for making appointments. This will assure equitable treatment of pastors appointed to charges which have not, as of the date of appointment, provided for the full budget requirements for parish travel expenses.

2. That each pastor report to the Annual Charge Conference the number of parish miles driven between January 1, 1976 and the date of the Annual Conference. Using the average monthly miles from the Pastor's report, the Charge will then project the travel for the remaining months between the Annual Charge Conference and December 31, 1976 so that the total miles thus computed become the travel requirements for the Charge for the 1977 fiscal year.

Pastors being moved to new appointments will submit their parish travel mileage driven through May 31 to their District Superintendent. A form will be provided for this purpose.

Committee on Parsonage Standards

The 1972 Annual Conference authorized the Bishop to appoint a Com- mittee on Parsonage Standards which was to be composed of two ministers, two ministers' wives, two laymen and two lay women. I have served as Chairman of that Committee for the past four years and wish to summarize our work for the quadrennium, assuming that we have now done the job for which we were appointed, namely:

1. To conduct a survey of Attitudes Toward The Parsonage: In co- operation with Dr. Robert Wilson of the J.M. Ormand Center for Re- search, a questionaire was designed and distributed to three groups of persons, pastors of local churches, pastors' wives, and chairmen of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committees. The results of that survey were in- corporated in a booklet, a limited number of which are still available.

2. To revise a Guide for Locating, Building, Furnishing, and Maintain- ing Parsonages, This was done, and the completed form adopted by the 1974 annual conference, printed in quantities and has been available for local churches, as well as having been mailed to three persons in each charge.

We come to the end of the quadrennium with several observations from your conference committee. First, there is a great deal of interest among lay people to provide attractive, comfortable homes for their ministers. Numerous requests have come for our Guide, or for suggestions by way of the telephone. We have tried to fill these requests. Ten new parsonages have been built in our conference during this past year and plans are now underway for the construction of seven additional parsonages. Six homes were dedicated. Thirty-eight charges have done extensive renovating and redecorating of their parsonages. For all of this, your committee and the occupants of the parsonages are grateful.

Second, there is still a need to improve some of our parsonages. We

316

estimate that there are 22-25 parsonages that need a great deal of attention in order to meet even minimum standards. Hopefully, these charges will be able to remedy this situation in a short time. And, there is still a need for parsonage families to be good stewards of their homes, taking the best possible care of their homes and frunishings and leaving them clean and in good order when we move on.

Bishop Blackburn, I thank you for the opportunity to serve on this com- mittee and will make our records available through the Program Council Director's office.

Mrs. James A. Auman, Chairperson

Status and Role of Women

I am not using the expression in a trite manner when I say "It is a priv- ilege" to give this report from the Commission on the Status and Role of Women in the North Carolina Conference. This group of men and women went immediately to work with a deep sense of purpose and with great vitality.

At our first meeting we decided that as a basis for our work we needed to know the leadership roles women have in our conference boards and agen- cies. Out of nineteen replies to cards sent out we found that in a total membership of 514, 72 were women, just about one out of 7, which is lower than the national average in United Methodist churches. Three women were serving as chairpersons. Of the 72 women members most were serving in lines of work in which women have traditionally served, missions, church and society, youth ministries and children's ministries. Eight agencies had no women members. These were the Division of Ministry, the committees on Interpretations, Communications, and Annual Conference Entertainment, the Boards of Pension and Trustees and the Commissions on Church Enlistment and Equitable Salaries.

At the Charge Conferences next fall we will ask each church to submit a list of capable women with skill or aptitude each has to offer, who would be willing to serve on a district or conference agency. We believe this list will be of value to those responsible for the composition of the various groups.

April and May of this year, workshops on the Status and Role of Women were held in six districts. By our vote Tuesday, workshops in the other six districts will be held next spring.

Considering that our work is new, we thought the attendance at the workshops was good and the response from those attending was very positive — tremendous! The program was varied and stimulating. I know those men and women attending left with many a preconceived idea jolted out of their thinking and with an enlightened idea of what women, both lay and ordained, can mean to our conference ; what they do mean.

We are gratified that three lay women were elected to General Confer- ence. Four years ago we elected 2 — up until that time we had elected one to each general conference — so I believe we are on our way to equality in future delegations. In four years when the conference will again elect delegates, we will have several ordained women eligible for election. Two

317

women have been elected as delegates to the Jurisdictional Conference.

Our Commission has great confidence in the integrity of the men and women in our conference. We have faith that together we shall continue to elevate the Status and Role of United Methodist Women in our Con- ference.

Last January two of our ordained women, Nancy Best, and Judy For- inger, attended, in Nashville, Tennessee, a National Consultation of Ordained Women in the United Meethodist Church. Nancy Best has been given several additional minutes to tell us about this meeting.

Conference Board of Trustees

The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees was held at 12:30 p.m., June 9, 1976, at Methodist College, during the Annual conference Session.

The financial statements for the calendar year 1975 were presented by the Conference Treasurer. The Trustees Fund, Methodist Building Ac- count, Staff Parsonage and Episcopal Residence Accounts have been audited and will be included in Section VI of the 1976 JOURNAL.

The Methodist Building continues to be fully leased and the Trustees through the Treasurer- Business Administrator have endeavored to super- vise and properly maintain this building and all other conference property entrusted to our care.

In December of 1975, we were able to consumate a sale for the Gum Branch Church property which was placed in our hands by the 1975 session of the Annual Conference. The property was sold to the Gum Bran- ch Community church for the sum of $12,500. Payment is being made to us at the rate of $200 per month for principal and interest.

Within the past three days we have been informed by Mr. John Espie of our General council on finance and Administration that the Fire Insurance Rating Bureau of North Carolina has agreed that the Atlantic Mutual In- surance Company may use the average rates as developed by Atlantic Mutual for church programs all across the country. This is encouraging and begins to open the door for churches in North Carolina to participate in the General Church fire insurance program. Pastors will receive further communications from the Conference Treasurer concerning this progress.

Plans are underway to construct a small storage-utility building at the Methodist Building in Raleigh.

The Board of Trustees has approved through legal council the request from Raleigh Towne corporation to change from a corporation to a part- nership.

United Methodist Women

1976 - the year of the Centennial of the organized group of women within the church... the Methodist Church in North Carolina. This group had begun, 100 years ago, as the Women's Missionary Society but has had different names as the years went by. Since 1972 the name has been - United Methodist Women of the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church!

Whatever the name, the priority of the organized group of women in the Methodist Church has been MISSION. In 1876, the women organized to help recruit and support foreign and home missionaries, were concerned and involved in Christian education of the children and youth, placed great emphasis on study, and later showed interest in peace and brotherhood. In 1975 the theme of the United Methodist Women in the North Carolina Conference was "To Be Alive" with the objective being "To increase our understanding of what it means to be in Mission today". In 1976, the theme "Unity in Community" is undergirded with the ob- jective "To Build a Community of Informed Women who find freedom in Christ and develop responsible relationships". It is important to realize that "U" is the center of Community and the beginning of Unity! 1 975 - Highlights of the year :

A Conference Newsletter, "KEDE", became a reality with mailings going to all local presidents, district and conference officers.

Financial Interpretation Workshops were continued as the Conference Treasurer and Associate Treasurer planned and participated with Districts to carry the story of "Where The Mission Dollar Goes" to the local woman. A pilot project, Program Packets of 10 short programs written by women in the N.C. Conference has proved to be very exciting. This evolved through the Leader Development Chairperson because of the request and need for programs for small Units or Subgroups. Over 500 of these packets have been ordered by groups within the conference and plans are now under way for another Packet to be available this fall.

Another way of Mission Involvement is the opportunity to share with others, the exposure to new ideas and studies, and the hearing of the story told by those of different experiences! (Ten conference officers attended the South Atlantic Regional School of Mission last June, special Emphasis on the Women's Division was a segment of the Conference Leadership School last August, five women (one conference officer, four district of- ficers and Native American resource person) attended the National Seminar in Norman, Oklahoma.) These were some of the ways United Methodist Women became involved.

The third Annual Meeting was held at First United Methodist in Rocky Mount October 3-4. Mrs. J. Boyd Tyrrell as keynote speaker chared the challenge of what it means "To Be Alive in Mission". Another highlight was the "Portraits of Women of the Bible" as presented by Mrs. Jack Miles, United Methodist Woman from Swansboro.

A Planning Session for the in- coming and out -going conference officers in November. This helped develop the feeling of the Team Relationship, and gave the opportunity to begin the planning to meet the Needs of '76.

319

The local United Methodist Woman gives of her money as well as her talents and her time. In 1975, $212,977.38 was sent for the Pledge to Missions to the Women's Division. This exceeded the Pledge of $195,000 by $17,977.38. The Love Offering for Annual Meeting was designated for a Remedial Reading Lab at the Methodist Home for Children and $9,543.66 was received. In addition the Conference, Districts, and Local Units support our N.C. Projects - Wesley Foundation at East Carolina University, Harnett County Church & Community Project, Walnut Terrace Child Care Development Center, and Robeson County Church and community Center. In addition money of United Methodist Women support many other interests such as scholarships for undergraduates and graduate students, sending a Youth to the Youth in Missions Conference at Lakejunaluska, and World Hunger.

Do you think that the pioneers in Mission in 1876 would have been over- whelmed by the scope of the N.C. Conference United Methodist Women in 1975? Now, 1976 is well under way.

1976 - Highlights of first five months:

The five new Conference Officers attended a Training Session in Cin- cinnati the first week-end in January. With the projection received there and the background of the planning session of the Conference Team in November, the Expanded Conference Executive Committee met in early January to choose the goals and ways to implement them : Goals:

1. To Deepen spiritual Relationships

2. Build An Informed Community

3. Develop Effective Means of Communication

4. Strengthen Ecumenical Involvement

5. Be sensitive to Feelings and Needs of ALL Women "DO-IT" Day (District Officers In Training) was held at Centenary

UMC in Smithfield in February. This was planned to help the District Teams to discover ways to meet the needs of the Local Units of United Methodist Women.

In April, over 50 United Methodist Women attended the S.E. Jurisdic- tion Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Mrs. Charles Dorsett and Mrs. Tib- bie Roberts, two of the Nominees elected at Annual Meeting last October, were elected as a Nominee from the Jurisdiction. Twenty-two women were elected as Nominees, but eleven of these will be chosen to serve on the Women's Division at the Jurisdictional Meeting at Lakejunaluska in July. Mrs. N.L. Locklear of Pembroke was elected as one of the seven officers of the S.E. Juirisdiction Core Planning Group for the next Quadrennium.

On May 18-19, the Conference Retreat for United Methodist Women was led by Mrs. Jack Miles. From around the Conference, 170 women came for an exploration of their commitment as God's servants, rev. W.P. Lowdermilk served Communion to each individual at the close of the Retreat and each one left with a most meaningful feeling of this symbolic expression of our faith.

Glimpses of the remainder of 1976 - Short Term Task Groups of our Black and Native American UMW, searching and sharing on becoming a more inclusive church; "Under 40" Experience planned by Young Women

320

for Young Women; Workshop for Local UMW during Conference Leadership School; Annual Meeting, Oct. 1&2, St. Luke UMC Sanford N.C.

Ecumenical concerns include participation in World Federation of Methodist Women. A meeting of this group in September 1975, was a beginning of a state-wide involvement. Mrs. D.K. Fry was elected secretary and Mrs. T. Marvin vick, Jr. is serving on the nominating committee. Also, Church women United is another way that United Methodist Women might be involved with women of other denominations. An increase in the Conference Pledge to Missions for UMW in 1976 to the Women's Division, is maintining our commitment "To Be IN MISSION"!

In 1876, in 1976, and in 2076 — the organized group of women in the United Methodist Church will BE IN MISSION -God's Mission in His World!

Mrs. C.H. Cade, President Mrs. E.G. Craig, Secretary

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS

The Committee on Christian Educators of the Division of Education being interested in establishing lines of communication between the educator, lay persons, and pastors relative to the professional needs of the educator has surveyed the certified educators in the North Carolina An- nual Conference to establish what their needs are. In the fall of 1976, 23 questionnaires were mailed, 14 were returned for a response of 60% . From the study, the following facts were gleaned :

(1) Average salary for 1976 — full time $8,536.00 — all expenses in- cluded.

(2) Average salary for 1975 — part time $4,600.00 — all expenses in- cluded.

(3) 2 weeks vacation over all.

(4) V4 churches provide help in (a) continuing education, (b) in- surance—life and health, (c) pensions.

(5) The size of the church and the educational background of the Educator had no bearing on salary paid.

(6) The size of the church did not seem to determine the hiring of a part- or full time educator.

Believing that — "Professional Christian Educators are products and members of the culture in which they work and therefore are part of a value system. A current value operating in the U.S. is the 'success' image. It is judged by a number of factors, but the important one is that of salary. The person who earns more is considered more successful. This may not be the Christian ideal, but it's one of the operational values in our culture."

(Salary and Benefit Survey of Professional Christian Educators in the United Methodist Church — A research project of the Christian Educators Fellowship, The United Methodist Church.) Since finances do contribute to one's estimation of his or her personal worth and helps form the base from which his or her creativity and initia- tive come, the committee recommends the following guidelines to be eval uated by the local church :

(1) It is recommended that the minimum BASE salary for Christian Educators — excluding expense funds — be :

Director of Christian Education — Master's Degree — member United Methodist Church — certified by the Annual Conference as Lay Worker: $8,500.00

Associate of Christian Education — B. A. Degree — Course of study, member United Methodist Church — certified by the Annual Con- ference as Lay Worker : $7,700.00

Educational Assistant — member United Methodist Church — work- ing toward Certification: $6,500.00

(2) It is recommended that all educational workers receive (a) reasonable annual salary increases, (b) travel allowance — minimum

338

of $300, and (c) continuing education allowance — minimum of $300 with at least two weeks annual leave to study. Additional at- tention must be given for housing and insurance.

(3) It is recommended that a housing allowance be provided.

(4) It is recommended that all educators be included in the Lay Em- ployee Pension Plan.

(5) It is recommended that educators be included in the Conference life and health insurance program and that the church pay the premiums.

(6) Work schedule-recommendations:

(a) No less than 2 weeks vacation

(b) One full weekend off per quarter

(c) One and V£ days off per week

(d) 12 days of sick pay per year

(7) That the church should recognize the educator's responsibility to the District, Conference, and community. It is suggested that at least 2 weeks be given for responsibilities to the Conference and District levels.

To the Conference : (1) It is recommended that the Committee on Continuing Education of the Division of Ministry consider granting scholarship aid to professional Christian Educators for continuing education events.

THE COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE SALARIES Recommendations for 1977

I. The Schedule of Minimum Salaries through the Commission on Equitable Salaries for 1977 is as follows: A. Regular recommendations:

Full-Time Conference and Associate Conference Members One or more dependent children $9200

Married 9000

Single 8800

Full-Time Lay Pastors

One or more dependent children 8600

Married 840o

single 8200

Student

One or more dependent children 7200

Married 7000

Single 6800

B. Special Recommendations:

1. A charge may provide up to $800 for pastoral travel without its affecting equitable salary provisions.

2. Retired Supply Pastors : $4500 (including utilities) .

3. Part-time Supplies: Ministers of any status who are serv- ing part-time will receive income from Equitable Salary funds, if any, on a basis negotiated with the church, the pastor, the District Superintendent, and the Equitable Salary Commission.

II. Principles Governing the Use of Equitable Salary Funds

The Pastor's salary is the responsibility of the charge; therefore, the charges should so group themselves as to assume full pastoral sup- port. The Commission urges each charge receiving Equitable Salary funds, its minister, and District Superintendents to administer the af- fairs of the charge to the end that it may move as rapidly as possible toward full financial support. To enable the conference, the com- mission and the superintendents to carry on their cooperative efforts in understanding, harmony, and for the greatest good for all con- cerned, the following principles and procedures are set forth:

1 . The family or marital status of the pastor at the time of assign- ment to the charge and as of January 1 shall govern the amount paid the minister.

2. In considering the salary for the charge, all income, including salary, utilities, and bonuses are included as salary in deter-

349

mining appropriations from Equitable Salaries Commission.

3. It is expected that charges will provide two-thirds of the total salary with the Equitable Salaries Commission givng only one- third, excepting newly-established congregations. Charges must be arranged so that no more than one-third of the total salary be supplemented from Equitable Salary funds. Charges asking for more than one- third supplement must make an ad- ditional application, indicating the reasons for being given special consideration.

4. When division of charges is desired, Equitable Salary funds will be used only upon recommendation of the Bishop, or the "Bishop's Task Force on the Division of Circuits" and Cabinet approval.

5. In the Division of Circuits in which one church seeks to become a station, it is recommended that such church assume all salary obligations and its proportionate share of single- figure asking.

a. It is recommended that the remainder of the division pay two-thirds of pastoral support, and its share of single- figure asking.

b. The Commission on Equitable Salaries further recom- mends that each charge which has received, or shall hereafter receive, Equitable Salary aid, shall reduce this aid by 10 percent each year until the charge has accepted full self-support. The District Superintendents are to in- form all charges receiving aid or expecting to receive aid in the future of this regulation. This requirement must be kept in mind in preparing for any requests.

c. When there is a division of a cnarge forming one or more student appointments, the charge must pay two-thirds of said salary.

6. Any Equitable Salary supplement will be terminated immedi- ately upon a full-time pastor's taking other employment or not continuing full-time pastoral employment. Such a pastor may be reinstated at any time upon returning to full-time ministerial status. Exceptions to this rule may be permitted by approval of the Executive Committee of the Commission on Equitable Salaries on recommendation of the DS of the pastor who is seeking for emergency reasons employment outside that of his church ministry.

III. In order to improve the effective utilization of Conference ministerial manpower,

And in recognition of the fact that the size of the membership of a charge together with its quality of leadership are significant factors both in charge salaries and the quality of a church's total witness : The Commission on Equitable Salaries encourages and aids those churches which seek, to improve their total programs through: (1) establishing cooperative programs which are designed to result in an increase in the number of churches and members in a charge; (2)

350

increasing the level of inter-congregational cooperation; or (3) merging congregations.

In order to implement this policy, the Equitable Salary Commission may utilize a maximum of seven percent of its total allocations to supplement salaries beyond the established minimum salary. In funding programs for this purpose the following procedures will be followed :

1 . The District Superintendent of the charge will submit a proposal to the Commission, which proposal (for initial requests) shall include:

A. The names, locations, and memberships of each church involved.

B. Evidence of the total charge's involvement, approval, and participation in the program.

C. Specific year-by-year goals and objectives to be reached in the charges' witness as a result of the program.

D. Specific job descriptions for each position if the proposal includes differentiated staffing.

E. Salary budgets.

F. Annual goals shall include provisions for the charges' assuming the total salary obligations within a specifically stated number of years, not to exceed five.

2. At the end of each year there shall be a review of each program by the Commission on Equitable Salaries. Each review shall in- clude data from the following:

A. The District Superintendent, who shall provide a progress report, a statement indicating the level of funding required for the ensuing years as determined after con- sultation with the charge, and the salaries budgeted for the charge.

B. The charge, which shall indicate:

1 . the degree to which the charge goals and objectives as stated in its initial and subsequent proposals have been reached.

2. any changes of job descriptions as approved by the District Superintendent,

3. changes in membership of each church since the initial funding,

4. restatements of previous and/or additional goals and objectives.

INSURANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

Report No. 1

The Conference Insurance Committee met on August 12, 1975, to render its annual analysis and recommendations as presented by H. Gray Hut- chison and Associates, Inc., Raleigh; consultants to the Conference In- surance Committee.

The Conference Insurance Committee has agreed to the present plan, adopted at the last session of the Annual Conference, of continuing the renewal date for the Group Life and Group Health Insurance Programs should remain on the same basis as the fiscal year of the Annual Con- ference. This means that the renewal dates are January 1 of each year. This further eliminates the problem of mid-year cost adjustment. It is proposed that the Insurance Committee continue to retain the full authority to review and implement any proposed rate adjustments and/or benefits improvements to become effective January 1, 1977. Any increase in cost is to be pro-rated between the church and the minister on the same basis as is now in effect.

Report No. 2

The Conference Insurance Committee met on February 12, 1976, and con- sidered the role of those persons serving charges who were not so appointed at the session of the Annual Conference. We recommend that Health In- surance and Life Insurance through the Conference groups should be made available to ministers who:

1 . Are licensed to preach and serving full-time or as a sutdent lay pastor under appointment in :

A. One of the churches or charges of the North Carolina Con- ference.

B. One of the institutions or agencies of this Conference receiving financial support from the Conference.

C. An institution or agency established to provide a ministry or service especially for this Conference; provided, that such in-

360

stitution or agency does not have a health or life insurance program in which the minister is eligible to enroll. All other ministers of this Conference whose credentials beyond that of a licensed preacher and are serving full-time under Episcopal Ap- pointment in one of the areas as described in A, B, C, above.

Report No. 3

Study of Disability Income Program

The 1975 session of the North Carolina Conference passed a resolution calling for the Insurance Committee to study the feasibility of establishing a "Disability Income Program" for ministers of the Conference. An expression of concern was voiced from the floor of the Conference that ministers do not have adequate protection against the loss of income resulting from total disability and in view of the high cost of individual disability income insurance policies, it was suggested that the North Carolina Conference in- vestigate sponsorship of a lower cost group type disability income plan.

Acting on the resolution, the Insurance Committee requested the In- surance Consultants, Hutchison & Associates, Inc., to make an in- depth study of available approaches to providing disability income benefits and to present to the Committee its recommendation for an overall disability income plan that would provide an adequate level of protection in the event of total disability.

A special meeting of the Insurance Committee was held on February 12, 1976 to receive and consider the recommendations of the Con- sultants and based on the results of this meeting, the Insurance Com- mittee makes the following report :

Basis For Study

As a basis of its study of the status of disability income benefits available to ministers, the Insurance Committee, with the assistance of the Consultants :

Reviewed the scope of disability income benefits currently available to ministers through the Social Security Program, the Emergency Aid Fund and the Reserve Pension Plan. Also considered in the review were benefits available under special circumstances, such as Workmen's Compensation for occupational related disabilities and Veteran's Disability benefits for ministers eligible for such benefits. Considered the relationship of available current disability income benefits to current salary levels to determine the adequacy of present benefits as a percentage of salary.

Considered the underwriting and administrative requirements of various disability income insurance methods including Group Long Term Disability Insurance and Group Franchise (individual policy) contracts.

361

4. Coordinated with members of the Board of Pensions and the Joint Committee on Disability to determine the basis on which these com- mittees administer the disability income benefits that are currently available from the Reserve Pension Fund and the Emergency Aid Fund.

Findings and Observations

As a result of the above study, the Insurance Committee has developed the following findings and observations : 1. By virtue of (a) continued increases in the level of disability income benefits provided by the Federal Social Security Act, (b) the exist- ence of Emergency Aid Fund benefits of up to $360 per month for a period of up to 12 months, and (c) recent action taken by the Board of Pensions to provide a monthly disability income benefit up to 33J/3% of Conference average salary for ministers on disability leave of absence, there already exists within the North Carolina Conference a broad and generally adequate program of disability incomme benefits for the vast majority of ministers. For example, a minister, age 40, earning $10,000 per year ($833 per month) would be entitled to approximately $410 per month in Primary Social Security disability benefits starting with the fifth month of total disability. The Reserve Pension Fund would provide a monthly benefit of $309 (33 J/3% of monthly Conference average salary of $926) beginning at such date as the minister is approved for disability leave. Total monthly benefits from Social Security and the Reserve Pension Fund in this example would equal 86.3% of the minister's monthly gross salary. Since these benefits would not be taxable to the minister (no tax on Social Security or on the first $100 per week of disability benefits paid from the Reserve Pension Fund) , the total disability income benefit would exceed 100% of net take- home pay, assuming the minister is in a 15% or higher tax bracket. Whereas these benefits would not generally be provided for casual or short term disabilities, the Emergency Aid Fund Benefits are available for such casual and short term disabilities subject to deter- mination of eligibility by the Joint Committee on Disability. 2. Because of the level of disability income benefits already provided by the Conference, the implementation of a Conference-wide Group Long Term Disability Insurance Plan would not benefit a vast majority of ministers, since the insurance carrier integrates current Conference and/or governmental disability benefits with the benefits of the disability insurance plan which would result in a reasonable monthly disability insurance benefit being available only to those ministers who earn in excess of approximately $16,000 per year. Whereas group franchise policies do not integrate with other Con- ference and/or governmental disability income benefits, the cost and administrative requirements of these policies, when considered in light of the number of ministers who need supplemental long term disability income protection, do not make this approach feasible for

362

Conference-wide sponsorship. 3. Whereas there are a small number of ministers who have elected not to participate in the Federal Social Security Program, and whereas there are a relatively small number of ministers whose annual salary is such that existing benefits would not provide a monthly disability income benefit equal to or exceeding 60% of gross salary, which is generally considered as an adequate level of protection, the In- surance Committee feels that these are individual considerations requiring individual attention on the part of the minister rather than consideration and action by the Conference.

Recommendations

Based on its study and on the foregoing findings and observations, the In- surance Committee recommends to the Annual Conference :

1. That in view of the level of disability income benefits currently provided by the Conference and by existing governmental plans and in view of the relatively small number of ministers that would benefit from a Conference-wide disability insurance plan, no action be taken by the Conference to establish a disability insurance plan at this time.

2. That each minister who is concerned about or has a special need for disability income benefits, as a supplement to benefits currently provided by the Conference and/or governmental programs, seek in- dividual professional advice from a qualified insurance or financial counselor to determine the alternatives that are available for meeting the individual concern or need.

THE COMMITTEE ON THE LAY WORKER

"The Committee on the Lay Worker recommends to the Annual Con- ference that the minimum salary standards for Lay Workers be at least equal to standards set by the state for teachers with comparable degrees and experience. We further move that at the Annual Charge Conference the District Superintendent ask the local Pastor- Parrish Relations Committee about its plans to bring salary support for the Lay Worker up to these minimum standards."

The Committee on the Lay Worker calls the attention of the Annual Con- ference and especially the attention of local churches employing Lay Workers to Par. 507.1: "The employing agency shall include the Lay Worker in the retirement plan of the Lay Employee Pension Fund (Par. 1377.12) or other such appropriate plan as provided by the Board of Pen- sions or other boards or agencies of the United Methodist Church." For the sake of uniformity, we recommend that the pension plan for Lay Workers in the North Carolina Conference be based upon an annual contribution of 9% of the employee's salary — 6% to be paid by the employing agency and 3% by the employee (or some combination of percentages to add up to 9%).

We encourage local churches employing Lay Workers to pay the premiums for Blue Cross-Blue Shield Insurance plan, and to participate, in their behalf, in the Conference program of Group Life Insurance.

The Committee on the Lay Worker also calls upon all local churches within her bounds to consider a pension program, as well as hospitalization

364

and life insurance, for ALL LAY EMPLOYEES — not only those who qualify as Lay Worker.

The North Carolina Conference Committee on the Lay Worker re- commends to the Annual Conference that the minimum salary standards for Lay Workers be at least equal to standards set by the state for teach- ers with comparable degrees and experience. We further move that at the Annual Charge Conference the District Superintendent ask the local Pastor-Parrish Relations Committee about its plans to bring salary sup- port for the Lay Worker up to these minimum standards.

HOUSING EXCLUSION ALLOWANCE

REPORT II

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DOCUMENT NO. 5045 (10-67) DECLARES

"Rental Value of Home Furnished a Clergyman, and cost of utilities paid for him, as pan of his compensation for carrying out his du6es as clergyman, are not income to him. if he is duly ordained, licensed, or com- missioned."

A Rental Allowance to Clergyman, paid as part of his compensation, is not income to the extent he used it, in the year received, to provide a home, or pay utilities for a home furnished him. However, the church, or organization which employs him must have officially designated the payment as a rental allowance before the payment was made."

"The above rules are also applicable to retired clergymen where a rent- free home or rental allowance is furnished him in recognition of past ser- vices in carrying out his duties as a clergyman." A REVISED RULING. 63. 156, 163 2 CB 79 STATES:

..the rental value of the home furnished to a retired minister as part of his compensation for services is excludable from his gross income under Section 107 ( 1 ) of the Code. Also, the rental allowance paid to him as part of his compensation for past services is excludable under Section 107 (2) of the Code, to the extent used by him for expenses directly related to providing a home." (See Code Sec. 107, Reg. 1.107.1 1103.01)

Therefore the following resolution is presented to the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, meeting in Fayetteville, North Carolina :

Whereas, The United Methodist Church has a tradition of providing housing (a parsonage) for its ministers, or in instances where no parsonage is owned by the charge, giving the minister a housing allowance ;

Whereas, Retired Ministers of the North Carolina Conference are en- titled to the same privileges as those in the Effective Relationship: and

Whereas, the most practical method of providing housing for the Retired Ministers is by means of rental allowance;

Therefore Be It Resolved, that the amount of $3,000.00 per year be set as a fair and reasonable rental allowance for each Retired Minister of this annual conference; that the first $3,000.00 paid to a Retired Minister each year by The Board of Pensions of The North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church and $2,100.00 of this is designated as the payment of this Housing Allowance and $900.00 for Utility Allowance. The Housing Allowance is specifically designated as compensation to the minister for the cost of renting or providing housing for himself and his family and those costs related thereto, pursuant to the Code as stated in Document 5045 (10 67).

The Board of Pensions emphasizes that the Retired Minister who uses this Housing Allowance must be able to furnish proof that he made ex- penditures in the amounts claimed. If the full $2600.00 cannot be sub- stantiated as expenditures, then claim should be made only for those amounts which can be verified.

382

We also remind the minister who uses this allowance, that the amount he claims as a Housing Allowance exclusion must be included as Income in reporting his Social Security. It is possible that reduced Social Security benefits would offset any claims for the Housing Allowance exclusion. Please consult your Social Security Advisor about this matter.

Further, the Board of Pensions absolves itself of any responsibility in the event the Internal Revenue Service disallows any housing allowance claimed.

To provide a more consistent and equitable basis for administering the Ministers' Retirement Fund we recommend the following revisions in the Constitution (see page 326 of the 1975JOURNAL) :

Assessments: The first paragraph now reads as follows: "Each charge in the conference shall be required to pay into the Ministers' Retirement Fund annually an amount equal to 1 % of the conference average salary as determined by The General Board of Pensions for each minister under episcopal appointment to that charge."

We recommend this paragraph be revised to read as follows: "For the benefit of this fund there shall be placed in the conference budget annually an amount equal to one per cent (1%) of the total salaries and utilities paid to all pastors and associates of the conference based upon the Conference Journal figures for the year preceding the year in which the budget request is made to the Annual Conference. This amount will be apportioned to the charges on the same basis as all other conference budget items.

We further recommend that in the second paragraph the word travel be deleted from the sources of income upon which the ministers' one percent (1%) payment to the fund is based and that this revision become effective with the payments to be made by the ministers based upon their renumeration for the calendar year 1976.

We recommend this paragraph be revised to read as follows: "Each minister shall pay into the fund one percent (1%) of all money excluding travel he or she receives each year from the charge or charges he or she is serving, and/or conference sources (this includes salary, utility allowances, minimum salary fund payments, Duke Endowment funds, and missionary sources. ) "

REPORT OF THE METHODIST BOARD OF PUBLICATION, INC. I. General Statement

For many years the Methodist Board of Publication, Inc., has recognized that its main responsibility has been the publication of the North Carolina Christian Advocate. For most of those years, it operated a printing concern in connection with its publishing responsibility. The lat- ter operation was brought to an end in December, 1974, when the print shop was leased to Emporium Printing and Packaging Co. After almost two years of operation, Emporium decided to terminate this phase of its operation. As a result of this step, your Board was presented with the op- portunity to sell all of its printing equipment at the fair market value of $50,000. The sale, which was consummated in Novemeber, 1975, was to Media, Inc., of Greensboro.

The large, two-story Advocate building at 429 W. Friendly Ave. in Greensboro has been vacated and is being offered for sale. The editorial offices of the North Carolina Christian Advocate have been moved to the campus of Greensboro College, where a suite of three rooms has been made available by that institution.

Circulation of the North Carolina Christian Advocate has remained at approximately 15,000 to 16,000 subscriptions during the past year.

Your Board is aware of the fact that the North Carolina Christian Ad- vocate is a service arm of the church. As a significant communications medium, its role is crucial to the welfare of our people. The failure to share in the service which it offers should be viewed with concern, if not alarm. In promotion of circulation among our churches, your Board and the limited staff of the Advocate must lean heavily upon the leadership of pastors and local church administrative leaders. We call upon the pastors and the lay leadership of our two conferences to give renewed vigor in promotion of the subscription campaign proposed in our list of recom- mendations.

We take note of the fact that Dr. James C. Stokes, who has completed a decade as editor-business manager, is retiring as of June, 1976. At our Board meeting in November, 1975, when this information was announced, your Board expressed to him its commendation for his services and achievements.

Our resolution included the following: "We commend Dr. Stokes for his faithful and dependable leadership, for his courageous and prophetic editorials, and for the many advances in Christian journalism evidenced in the issues of the Advocate." We are sure that this annual conference joins with the Board in sharing the sentiments expressed at our November meeting.

It gives us pleasure to announce that the Rev. C. Alison Simonton of the North Carolina Conference will assume the editorship, upon appointment to the post by Biship Robert M. Blackburn at the June session of the con- ference. Mr. Simonton brings to the position an unusual array of gifts and qualifications. We covet for him your enthusiastic support as he enters into his new labors.

The North Carolina Christian Advocate, while being the official news

384

journal for the North Carolina and the Western North Carolina con ferences, in a larger sense belongs to all of the rank and file of pastors and church members in our great state. It has had a distinguished past, and holds forth good promise for an even greater future. We call upon you of this annual conference and upon all of the people whom you represent to join with your Methodist Board of Publication and with the new editor in a great forward movement in this publishing enterprise. Our goal in all of this is not simply the enhancement of this distinguished publication, but through it the glorification of Christ, our Lord, and the building up of His Church.

We Recommend That

1 . A North Carolina Christian Advocate subscription campaign be held annually in each local church. The dates of the campaign to be from January 15 through February 15 for the Western North Carolina An- nual Conference and from February 15 through March 15 for the North Carolina Annual Conference. The purpose of the Advocate Campaign will be to give each local church an opportunity to con- centrate on Advocate subscriptions both new and renewal. Special rates will be limited to the campaign time-slot except for those received from the 1976 annual conference session until February 15, 1977, for the Western North Carolina Annual Conference and until March 15, 1977, in the North Carolina Annual Conference when special group rates will apply and all subscriptions received during these times will apply against the church and district quotas. The purpose of including the months from the 1976 annual conference sessions until the time of the 1977 campaigns in the respective con- ferences is to get us moving immediately on subscriptions.

2. The quota of Advocate subscriptions for each local church for the period from the annual conference session in June 1976 through February 15, 1977, for the Western North Carolina Annual Con- ference and through March 15, 1977, for the North Carolina Annual Conference be one Advocate subscription for every six members based on each church's reported total full membership in the 1975 Journals of the respective conferences. Where the membership is not divisible by six the next highest number will become the quota (Example: a church with 43 members divided by six equals a quota of 7- !/3 ; thus, the quota in this case would be 8) .

3. The quota in each district will be the sum of the quotas of its local churches and that this district quota be carried in all regular reports or mailings by the district's and/or conferences to the local churches along with each district's progress made to reach its quota in the form of subscriptions received.

4. The district superintendents of the annual conferences report by July 1 , 1976, the quotas of their churches to the proper annual conference agency responsible for making regular mailings to the churches so that reports on Advocate subscriptions, and each church's progress on reaching its quota, may be regularly available to all of the churches.

385

5. Each local church, not having already made a report, be prepared to report to the 1976 fall Charge Conference progress made to date in reaching its quota.

6. Each district superintendent be asked to designate a District Director of Promotion for the North Carolina Christian Advocate in the promotion of circulation.

7. Each local church nominate to the 1976 fall Charge Conference the name of a person to be its Advocate Campaign chairperson and this person be a member of the Administrative Board of that church.

8. That the subscription rate be $3.25 a year for subsriptions in Gold Star churches with the number of subscriptions for this category being one subscription for every 3.5 members based on each church's reported total full membership in the 1975 Journals of the respective conferences, $4.00 a year for those churches which meet their quota during the campaign period, which for the new conference year only will include the "early period" from the date of the respective annual conferences until the close of their campaign dates as specified in recommendation number one above, $4.25 a year for the All Ad- ministrative Board Plan, and $4.50 a year for individual sub- scriptions. Those churches reaching their quotas by the end of the campaigns in 1977 in their respective conferences will receive a 10% refund. The refund check will be sent to the church or an organization designated by the church. No refunds will be sent to in- dividuals. Gold Star churches may add new subscriptions for new families for $3.25 a year throughout the year until the next year's an- nual Advocate Campaign.

9. As soon as it is economically feasible, the Advocate be published weekly.

10. We further recommend the following:

Whereas current appraisals of the Board's property at 429 W. Friendly Avenue in Greensboro. N.C. set the value at less than had previously been estimated, your Board hereby request sales price at a lower figure than that approved by the annual conference of June, 1973; the Board being authorized to accept a sales offer in ac cordance with its best judgment.

We express appreciation to our Bishop and the Division of Ministry for the impressive and strong service of ordination on Monday evening. To the Conference Council on Ministries, to Boards and Agencies, Commissions, and Com- mittee, Thank you for well prepared reports and for the ambitious plans presented to us for our work in the future.

For this time of meeting and greeting each other in the spirit of Christian Community we praise Thee, O God. Yes, we are Thankful for each one who has been present. Add all of these blessings together and we must acknowledge and accept all of them as evidence of God's Love to us.

Resolution in Memory of Mrs. Eda M. Rogers

Eight years ago in this auditorium the 1968 Session of the North Carolina Annual Conference elected me as your Conference Treasurer- Business Administrator. I began to assume the duties and responsibilities of this office with fear and trembling. But I soon discovered in the Treasurer's Office Staff a team effort and spirit which dispelled the anxiety which I had previously experienced.

389

One member of this staff was Mrs. Eda Rogers, assistant secretary. In her responsibilities as assistant treasurer, she was coordinator of office ac- tivities and secretary to the Treasurer. Eda Rogers was one of the most ef- ficient persons I have ever known. Her dedication to her job left nothing to be desired. Her loyalty to me and to the conference could at no times be questioned. But more important than any of these qualities is the fact that she was a beautiful Christian person. Her life day by day bore the fruits of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. She was an unusually unselfish person, always thinking of the welfare and the well-being of others. She was always cheerful in her service to and relationship with others, and for twenty-one years was a faithful servant of this conference through the Con- ference Treasurer's Office.

On May 6, 1976, following a brief illness, Eda Rogers passed from this physical life into the next phase of her eternal life.

Therefore, I move that this session of the North Carolina Annual Con- ference stand for a brief period of silence in her memory and in ap- preciation for her many years of effective and dedicated service to this Nor- th Carolina Conference.

(The Conference stood in silence. Editor)

Evaluation of Annual Conference Sessions

I move that this Annual Conference Session refer to our Conference Council on Ministries that they study the possibility of the development of and process for the re-evaluation of our Annual Conference Sessions, and that the Conference Council on Ministries make such and report to our Annual conference in 1977.

Lay Workers as Voting Delegates

Recognizing that Diaconal Ministers (Lay Workers) are professional persons ministering in the United Methodist Church, and whereas the General Conference voted to give the Annual Conference the privilege of granting consecrated Lay Workers voting delegate status to the Annual Conference; we move that the consecrated Lay Workers of the North Carolina Conference be given this right, within the framework of the Lay Equalization plan, and ask that the implementation be referred to the Lay Equalization Committee.

Regarding Chaplains for the North Carolina Division of Prisons

Whereas:

Whereas:

Whereas:

Wh<

From : Board of Church and Society There are only three full-time Chaplains in the North Carolina Division of Prisons to provide reli- gious ministry to 12,600 inmates in 77 prisons across the state; and There is no Chaplain's position at :

Polk Youth Center in Raleigh where 490 young men are confined.

Harnett Youth Center where 510 young men are confined.

Caledonia Prison where 566 adult men are con- fined.

Odom Prison where 385 men are confined.

Craggy Prison where 220 men are confined.

Blanch Prison where 105 men are in close custody; and

In 65 "field units" across the state religious ministry is made available mostly by volunteers; and Neighboring states have privided Chaplaincy ser-

South Carolina has 10 full-time chaplains;

Georgia has 9 full-time chaplains;

Florida has 26 full-time chaplains and 12 part- time chaplains: Now, therefore, be it resolved that the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church call upon the North Carolina General Assembly to fund the proposal of the Department of Corrections, calling for $136,000 to provide chaplain services for our prison population.

Supporting a Criminal Victim Compensation Act for the State of North Carolina

From: Board of Church and Society Whereas: The state owes a duty to each individual to protect

them from crime, and; Whereas: When the state fails in this duty, the state ought to

reimburse the victim of crime for the injury sustained, and; Whereas: Twelve states have already enacted such legislation:

New York, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Alaska, Illinois, Delaware, Rhode Island, Washington and Wiscon- sin:

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church call upon the General Assembly of the state of North Carolina to enact a Criminal Victim Compensation Act, to include widows and families of law enforcement officials killed or injured

393

in the performance of duty, any victim of violent crime who suffers physical injury and/or loss of time from employment, any "good Samaritan," who is injured in the assistance of a law enforcement official in the performance of his duty, and any citizen injured through police ac- tion.

Concerning administration of jails in North Carolina From : Board of Church and Society Whereas: The administration of jails in North Carolina is a

national disgrace ; and Whereas: There is a lack of uniformity of supervision, ad-

ministration and facilities; and Whereas: There is a need for standardization of facilities,

management, staff and care of prisoners : Now, therefore, be it resolved that the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church expresses its concern about our jails to the County Commissioners in the 100 counties of the state of North Carolina; Be it further resolved that local churches work to effect change where such is needed.

Concerning the humanization of Prisons in North Carolina From : Board of Church and Society Whereas: The prisons in North Carolina are inhuman places of

terror; and Whereas: Safety and security in our prison system is at a

minimum; and Whereas: Helping and rehabilitation programs touch only a

few; and Whereas: Our present prisons tend to reinforce criminal at-

titudes and behavior, and recidivism rates are high for those who serve prison sentences, and Whereas: If the physical safety of all caged adults and

juveniles, men and women, were achieved, we could more responsibly address larger questions like the diminution of crime and the rehabilitation of criminals: Now, therefore, be it resolved that the North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church call upon the North Carolina General Assembly and the North Carolina Department of Corrections to develop a more adequate and humane prison system aimed at: alleviating overcrowding; a full policy of rehabilitation and human respect; provide adequate protec- tion of inmates ; provide fully adequate medical attention ; afford proper food, recreation and physical conditions; develop serious educational and vocational programs; rejecting absolutely any practices of brutality and harassment; and in other ways develop programs aimed toward a full policy of rehabilitation and human respect.
