ROLL AND PASTORAL RECORDS
OF CONFERENCE MEMBERS IN FULL CONNECTION: 559
1974
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 retired. 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 thai 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 of the North Carolina Conference All questions
concerning years applicable to annuity credits should be directed to the Board of Pensions (Editor).
Honorary Member, Bishop Robert M. Blackburn

ALPHABETICAL ROLL— CONFERENCE DIRECTORY— 1974-75
Note: Information for the Conference Directory derives principally from two sources: from the
ministers themselves on the cards provided them and filed with the Conference Secretary,
and from the District Directories furnished the Conference Secretary by the Superintend-
ents. However, each minister is personally responsible for the correct reporting of his own
address. Spouse's name (when provided) is given in parentheses after pastor's name. This
is a new feature provided for the first time this year, as is the birthday list which follows this
directory.

A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION
TO
THE REVEREND DR. WILLIAM KELLON QUICK
For 20 years William K. Quick has been a progressive and able leader in the North Carolina
Annual Conference. He has served with equal effectiveness as the Pastor of some of our largest and
smallest churches.
His aggressive and wise leadership has been a potent force in Conference activities. His efforts in
providing news coverage and good public relations for our Conference are unmatched.
As a member of the Conference Council on Ministries, where he served as secretary, and
chairman of the Council's Budget Committee, as well as a member of the Executive Committee, his
influence on our Conference program has been strong and valuable.
Journal of Proceedings 103
We, the members of the 1974 Session of the North Carolina Annual Conference, meeting at
Methodist College in Fayetteville. acknowledge with appreciation the distinguished and able service
which he has rendered to our Conference. We affirm our esteem for him and our confidence in him
as he assumes his new responsibilities as pastor of the Metropolitan United Methodist Church in
Detroit.
Charles H. Mercer, Director
Conference Council on Ministries
Robert M. Blackburn,
Presiding Bishop
Kimsey King,
Conference Secretary
COMPOSITE REPORT OF THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS: Paul Carruth, Cabinet
President, brought the composite report of the District Superintendent as follows:
COMPOSITE REPORT OF DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS
Conference Year 1973-1974
For the fourth time, the report of the District Superintendents is being presented in summary
form. This procedure probably is a response to the pressure to reduce reporting to its barest
essential. The members of the Annual Conference, clerical and lay alike, are understandably
impatient with any detailed listing of activities This applies whether those activities be of
earth-shaking importance or only trivial in nature.
I would not begin this presentation without at least a mild expression of regret that this brief
composite report is all that remains of what was once a great feature of every Annual Conference
Session, namely, the oral report of every pastor on the work of his Charge. No longer does the
Conference listen to the boasts of the circuit pastor as he affirmed the mighty work of the Lord in the
Charge where he labored.
These reports of the pastor and the individual superintendents may have appeared to be no more
than exaggerations and boasting. Still, they represented the very heart of the work of our
Conference. I. for one. believe that even in our abbreviated Conference session such information
merits the close attention of the members of the Conference. Let me invite your attention to the
following significant achievements of 1973-74.
1. Membership: By the Confirmation of their faith, 3,254 souls have been added to the rolls of the
churches of our Conference during the Conference Year. Nine of the twelve districts report a net
increase in members. Those districts with the net increases are: Burlington 77. Durham 89,
Goldsboro 18b. New Bern 332. Raleigh 759. Rockingham 153, Rocky Mount 22, Sanford 82, and
Wilmington 231. The net increase for the North Carolina Conference for 1973-1974 is 1,597. Our
Conference is one of less than a half dozen in Methodism who can report a net gain.
2. Stewardship: During the first seven months of the Conference year, $10,625,742 were
contributed for all the causes of the Church. Since January 1, 1974, our people have given over a
million dollars for the benevolent causes of our Church. Of this $15,000 has been paid into the Ten
Dollar Club for aid to new church construction. Stewardship Workshops were conducted in the
districts with an increase in the number of churches which conducted Every Member Visitation
programs.
3. Leadership Development: Reports from the Conference Coordinator of Leadership
Development indicate that 6,630 persons were involved in leadership development opportunities.
Participation in workshops in every district in the Conference has been good, with expressions of
apnrechHon for help received coming from local church leaders. This achievement in leadership
development is most gratifying. In this Year of the Sunday School, teacher-training workshops have
been held in every district across the Conference. This emphasis is of major importance as we move
to impart to our people the necessary information relating to our holy religion. The reports of the
Hrst seven months of the Conference Year indicate a decrease in average attendance in the Church
1LW 1NORTH CAROLINA ANNUAL CONFERENCE
School. Still, it is no little matter that 70,000 eastern North Carolina Methodist came together each
Sunday morning to study their faith. Ten districts report a total of 4,096 new members added to the
Church School during the year, it Sunday bcnooi time can oe ettectively used, this agency of our
church can be restored to its prominence in the life of Methodist families. Certainly, the quality of
leadership will be a major factor in this process.
4. Lay Activities: The attendance at the District Lay Rallies continues to be remarkable with the
Durham District leading in the number present with 1,241. Recognition for work done by
Methodist Men has been given in the districts through the Conference Division of Lay Life and
Work.
5. United Methodist Women: This was the year when local units of the Women's Society ot
Christian Service and the Wesleyan Service Guild united to become the United Methodist Women.
One district president wrote, "It has been an exciting year of change, study, evaluation, and
fellowship — a time of trying new ideas and discarding programs which no longer serve a useful
purpose."
6. Building. Improvements and Other Items of Note in the Districts: For 300 years, the church
existed and grew without buildings at all. Today, beautiful church buildings serve to house the
worship and program of the church. Equally important, they are a sign of the importance of our
faith. The rapid increase in the cost of construction has not prevented a continued affirmation of
the importance of the buildings of the Church as our people continue to construct and pay for
beautiful and useful churches and parsonages, education and fellowship halls. Many programs that
reach into the communities have been undertaken. By districts, a brief survey of this work notes the
following:
BURLINGTON DISTRICT: Churches dedicated: Faith, Christ Church. Hebron, Saxapahaw. New
Churches erected: Emmanuel, Cedar Cliff. New Parsonages erected: Hebron, Phillips Chapel,
Salem. Parsonage debt paid: Saint Lukes. Lebanon.

Special Ministries like the following must not go unmentioned: The beginning of a Fayetteville
Urban Ministries directed by 17 Methodist Churches in Fayetteville; the continuance of the
Robeson County Community Center; the work of Contact Teleministries in areas like Fayetteville.
Rocky Mount and elsewhere. The continuance of the beach ministries at Kitty Hawk, Atlantic
Beach. Carolina Beach, and Youpon Beach. The Seamen's Ministry at Wilmington and Morehead
City port facilities. The support and participation in the Mental Health Program that prompted the
recognition of Saint Luke Church, Goldsboro. as Wayne County Mental Health Associations'
Church of the Year. The Nutrition Program for the Elderly in the Rocky Mount and Wilson Areas.
Time fails us to mention all the regular work that sustains and furthers the life of the Church. We
cannot name all the classes that have been taught, the hymns and anthems sung, the church suppers
served, the sick visited, the sermons preached, the committee, board and council meetings held. But
in such activities, the church is kept in the love and concern of the divine Father, and finds renewal
in the Holy Faith that sustains the world.
What has been done in the churches may seem to count for very little in the eyes of the world.
Measured by what we might have done, it may not seem outstanding. Certainly, we cannot become
proud of our own achievement. What merit there is belongs to God who prompted us and
strengthened us in our labors.
By His grace, we would be bold to desire that, in the end, what we in the North Carolina
Conference have done might be associated with that done by those who, in the words of the Epistle
to the Hebrews, "through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promised, stopped
the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of
weakness, became mighty in war. put foreign armies to flight."
One final word and this report is finished. We thank our pastoral bishop and Mrs. Blackburn for
their deep involvement in the everyday affairs of our churches. Their presence with us has inspired a
greater effort and we believe a greater achievement than could ever have been accomplished without
them.
NEW APPOINTMENTS: Bishop Blackburn announced the appointment of four new District
Superintendents: H. Langill Watson. Durham; Norwood L. Jones. Elizabeth City; J. Paul Edwards.
Goldsboro; and John M. Cline to the Rocky Mount District. The four leaving the Cabinet are:
Chancie D. Barclift of Durham; Paul Carruth. Rocky Mount; Al Fisher, Goldsboro; and Bob
McKen/ie. Elizabeth City District. The Bishop announced the appointment of Al Fisher as
Assistant Director of Rural Church Affairs of the Duke Endowment.
THE DUKE ENDOWMENT: Wilson Nesbitt explained the new position to be filled by Fisher
The Duke Edowment report on page 44 of the Book of Recommendations was adopted.
THE STATE OF THE CHURCH: Bishop Blackburn brought a message on "The State of the
Church" to the Conference. His message follows:
lHt STATE OF THE CHURCH — Message to the 1974 session of the North Carolina
Conference of The United Methodist Church by Bishop Robert M. Blackburn. Monday, June 3.
1974. His message follows.
This is a great time to be in the Church! The reason? -because the church has certain answers in
an uncertain world. Everywhere there is a hunger for truth and stability. Kipling's familiar lines
may be quite applicable to our day: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing
theirs - you just don't understand the situation." Indeed the church must understand and respond
to the present situation.
Now. as alw ays. the church has been worthy of people's trust. Sometimes that trust has been only
in a remnant, but throughout centuries God's people have kept that trust alive. A. mid-summer
Gallup Poll in 1973 indicated that many Americans have a serious lack of confidence in key
institutions of our nation. The church received the highest vote of confidence among eight
106 North Carolina Annual Conference
institutions that were ranked in the poll with 66% of the public giving them a high rating.
"Big Business" ranked the lowest with only 26% of the public giving them a high rating. Labor
Unions fared little better receiving only a 30% endorsement of trust. Between the high-ranked
churches and the low-ranked business and labor segments of American society come, in this
descending order: the public schools, the Supreme Court, Congress Newspapers and television."
This is a sacred trust that American people place in iheir churches. It behooves us at conference
sessions such as this to evaluate carefully our mission in today's world.
This is also a great time to live in North "Carolina. It is a state blessed with beauty and rich
resources. Its rolling hills, plush farm lands, thriving industry and invigorating beaches make it a
delightful place in which to live. It is "Variety Vacation Land." It is the basketball capital of the
world! It is many things.
Located within the 56 eastern counties is the North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist
Church. This is one of the most progressive and exciting sections of the nation. It is growing and
experiencing major changes. In the decade ending in 1970 the following counties experienced the
following percentage growth: Brunswick 19.5, Carteret 15.2, Dare 17.9, New Hanover 15.7, Onslow
19.6. Pasquotank 4.7, Pitt 5.7. Some of the changes in town and city population were: Ahoskie 11.4,
Atlantic Beach 294.7. Ayden 11.0. Beaufort 15.3. Enfield 9.9, Farmville 10.7, Greenville 27.1,
Havelock 117.1. Jacksonville 18.8. Murfreesboro 32.7, Nashville 17.4. Snow Hill 30.3, Tarboro
12.1. Wallace 27.1. Warsaw 21.6. Weldon 6.4, Windsor 21.3. (These statistics came from The
Institute of Government. UNC. Chapel Hill.) You will notejhat these figures do not even include
the nourishing Triangle Area, nor bustling Burlington, nor the fabulous growth of the Fayetteville
area.
Take the Church, then, with its redemptive message and its creative service to a community, and
put it in the exciting environs of Eastern North Carolina and you will have some promising results.
The statistics from the composite report of the District Superintendents reveal some
encouraging facts. Also. Dr. Allan Waltz of the research department of our church's General
Council on Ministers pointed out to me that the North Carolina Conference is one of the few in
United Methodism to show a net gain in membership over the past five years.
In my travels throughout the conference I discover a marvelous vitality and strength among our
congregations. The people are warm-hearted and genuine in their Christian commitment. They
love God and the church. The churches are beautiful, worshipful and well kept. There is an
eagerness "to be the church" in each community and a desire to share in the outreach of the Church
as well. In this cradle of American Methodism there is a continuing, strong loyalty to the Methodist
Church. Our laity furnish us valuable leadership in every phase of our conference life. Thank God
for the people called "Methodists."
North Carolina Methodism is predominantly rural. The Rural Church office of The Duke
Endowment informs us that 75% of our churches are in communities of 1,500 people or less, thus
defined as rural. And in many ways this rural Methodism is the "heart" of our North Carolina
Conference. Of the 855 churches in the conference 31.1% of them have fewer than 100 members.
62.8 percent have less than 200 members, and 78.7 have less than 300 members.
So much for the membership of our churches! What about its ministry? Indeed, we have a
dedicated, well-trained ministeral force. A study made by Kimsey King, our Conference Secretary,
reveals that we have 559 ministers in Full Connection. There are 97 Probationary and Associate
Members and 147 lay pastors, for a total of 803 ministers. Of the 559 in Full Connection, only 279
are serving pastorate; 122 in Full Connection are serving "Special Appointments." Those in
special appointments are in no less important work than the pastors for they include District
Superintendents. Conference and Institutional staff. Seminary Professors, College Presidents and
Professors, Chaplains, etc. The others in Full Connection are in the retired relationship. Thirteen
of these retired brethren are serving churches as Retired Supplies.
It is important to note that 135 of our lay and interim pastors serve 390 of our churches and 297 in
Full Connection serve 323 of our churches. It is our hope that more and more of our Lay Pastors are
going to proceed toward Full Connection status. The presence of Duke Divinity School and
Southeastern Seminary within the bounds of our conference affords us excellent opportunity for
complete preparation for the ministry. Also, many opportunities of Continuing Education are
available for any who desire it.
The North Carolina Conference has made commendable strides in becoming a racially inclusive
fellowship. Later in this session the Bishop and Cabinet at the request of the Commission on
Journal of Proceedings 107
Religion and Race, will present a "Position Paper on Race" that will deal with this subject in more
detail. Our tri-racial composition makes this one of the interesting conferences in Methodism.
Much effort should be extended to see that our Black and Indian members are not merely
"absorbed" into a predominantly white conference, but that we maintain a genuine blending of
previously segregated groups. We must develop a vital, aggressive Black and Indian Affairs
program to improve their status in society and their place in the life of the Church.
This is the "year of the Sunday School" in our Conference priorities. It is our hope that the
emphasis being placed upon Christian Education will turn the tide of decline in Sunday School
attendance to one of increase. Since 1969 Sunday School enrollment has decreased 12.1% and
average attendance has declined 10.1%. The Sunday School is the training ground for Christian
living and church membership. All of us need to give careful attention to this urgent need in our
local churches!
There is a new evangelistic fervor manifest among us! The fruits of Key 73 have been evident in
some areas of our Conference. The impact of the Billy Graham Crusade last September was most
significant. The Convocation on Evangelism in March of this year brought more than 400 of our
ministers together in a heart-warming experience of preaching, thinking and planning for
evangelism. The Lenten season brought forth a very productive period of Confirmation in which
hundreds of our youth and adults made initial commitments to Christ.
Surely one of the most thrilling and gratifying areas of our growth in the past year has been in the
area of missions. Our increase in giving to Advance Mission Specials was 162%, the second highest
increase in the nation! We moved from 67th place among the 72 conferences of the nation to 44th
place. We now have 220 churches who established Advance Missions Specials. This is an increase
from 22 churches to 220, or a 1,000% growth! Our thanks go to the outstanding leadership of our
Division of Missions. Let us pledge to them our increased enthusiasm and support. Even with this
remarkable growth, we have moved from only 13^ per member to 76«? per member for mission
specials, and from 67th place to 44th place in the United Methodism. I believe the coming year will
reveal a continuation of this significant growth in mission support.
Our stewardship of tithes and offerings reflects loyalty on the part of many of our members. Total
giving for 1973 was $18,215,661, an increase of 7.95%. We were one of 19 conferences in the nation
that paid 100% on World Service Apportionments. We were third in the Southeastern Jurisdiction
in remittances to the Lake Junaluska Improvement Fund. 1 have already referred to our increased
giving to Advance Mission Specials. But, having said all these good thing, we must acknowledge
that our giving is only $86.24 per member, which figures out at $1.64 per week per member.
Remember, this represents our total giving for local expenses, pastor's salaries, world service,
figure. missions, etc. It is far from representing a tithe, and in no way represents a sacrificial giving on
the part of Methodist people. What a mighty force for good we could become if we really had a
tithing church! In the realm of Higher Education we have our three colleges and our campus
ministry programs on state university campuses. The impact of this work is inestimable! What a
powerful potential we have for Christian influence of our youth on these campuses! Yet, our needs
in each case are crucial! The next year or so will be decisive ones. In some respects we are at the
cross-roads of serious and basic decisions about Christian Higher Education in the North Carolina
Conference! The leadership in our church colleges and in campus ministries is superb. Our
students served by these ministries are deserving of our best. Let us rally to the great needs in this
vital area of Christian witness.
The Bishops' Call To Peace And Self-Development of Peoples is a challenging plea for Christian
compassion and concern. We will hear much about this at this session. Surely we will want to
respond with sensitive, compassionate action.
Where do we go from here? All of us are a part of the answer. Our Lord has called us to serve Him
in this present age. Let us respond with gladness and with an exciting commitment to the Christ in
whose name we are gathered here todav!
POSITION PAPER ON RACIAL INCLUSIVENESS: A position paper on racial inclusiveness,
prepared by the Cabinet and Bishop Blackburn, was distributed to the delegates, for information.
POSITION STATEMENTS OF RACIAL INCLUSIVENESS
IN THE NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
In 1966 the North Carolina- Virginia Conference of the former Central Jurisdiction and the North
Carolina Conference of the Southeastern Jurisdiction adopted resolutions that created the merger of
108 North Carolina Annual Conference
the Eastern District of the North Carolina- Virginia Conference and the North Carolina Conference,
now known as the North Carolina Conference of the Southeastern Jurisdiction. This merger was
created to "achieve racial inclusiveness at all levels of the church."
Since that time significant progress has been made to achieve this, such as:
(l)The inclusion of all congregations of both conferences into the new one.
(2) The inclusion of all ministerial members of both conferences into one.
(a) This includes coverage of all ministers under the same minimum salary provisions.
(b) It also includes coverage of all ministers under the same pension provisions.
(3) The inclusion of members of both former conferences on almost all boards and agencies of the
conference. The limited number of Black Methodists makes it extremely difficult to have Black
membership on every board or agency.
(4) Special concern has been given to providing places of leadership for Black members, lay and
clerical, in the merged conference. This has not always been easy to accomplish because of the
relatively small number of Black members (3,459 Blacks and 208,216 Whites).
(5) We now have a Black District Superintendent, James H. McCallum, serving in the Sanford
District, and he is rendering excellent service.
We are grateful for the progress made in achieving racial inclusiveness in our Conference, but we
acknowledge that additional efforts should be made and we encourage all concerned in leadership
and decision-making positions to make every effort possible to do so. Motivated by love and mutual
trust, we should take definite steps to improve our tri-racial involvement. We suggest such steps as
the following:
(1) Foster and encourage racial inclusiveness on the local church level. Nearly every other area of
our society has become inclusive, and we feel that our local congregations should become so. It has
often been said that "eleven o'clock on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week in
most communities." We should strive toward having racially inclusive congregations just as we have
achieved this on the conference and district level, as well as in secular society (schools, government,
etc.)
(2) This leads us to suggest that our itinerant plan of ministry should be more inclusive to afford as
wide range for appointments of Black and Indian ministers as well for White ministers.
(3) Steps snould be considered for the establishment of a Black Affairs Program within the North
Carolina Conference which will be related to all Black Churches and to a program of economic
development and evangelism among Blacks in Eastern North Carolina. The staffing and funding of
such a program should receive major consideration in the 1974-75 year.
(4) Let us urge that the conference Committee on Enlistment have Black and Indian representation
on it. Careful and sincere attention needs to be given to recruitment of ministers and full-time
Christian workers among the ethnic minorities of our conference.
(5) Special attention should be given inclusion of ethnic minorities (Black, Indian. Asian) in the
urban planning of our conference as we seek to minister to the inner city, to transitional areas, and
to specialized ministries in such cities as Fayetteville, Wilmington, Durham, etc.
(6) It is our hope that greater inclusiveness will be created in the management and working staffs of
our institutions, such as The Retirement Homes, The Children's Homes, the Colleges and Youth
Camps.
(7) Parish reorganization should be considered in such localities as Goldsboro, Wilmington, Red
Springs, Fayetteville, and other locales, and particularly rural areas, where we now have our work
among the ethnic groups, to achieve a greater degree of racial inclusiveness.
(8) We call upon the Council on Ministries to give prior consideration to the employment of a Black,
Indian or Asian, person at the time the next vacancy occurs in a staff or secretarial position.
In the light of our Christian conscience, and with much prayer and determination, we can move
toward the fulfillment of our professed goal of greater racial inclusiveness.
(9) We call upon our congregations to involve themselves in systematic evangelism among the Black
segment of the population.

Camping. White asked J. C. P. Brown to bring a resolution. Brown's resolution was a commendation
for Belton Joyner for his work on the Conference staff.
A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION
OF
F. BELTON JOYNER, JR.
For nearly six years now, Belton Joyner has served the North Carolina Conference as a leader in its
educational ministries. He has worked with leaders of children, youth, and adults, with youth
themselves and the Conference UMYF, with young adults and with staff members of our camping
program. He has guided and stimulated directors of Christian education and directors of music. His
most recent specific "Job" title has been Coordinator of Leadership Development and Adult Work
with the Conference Council on Ministries. The truth of the matter is that. Belton has made himself
available wherever needed, often taking on added duties and new responsibilities in order that our
Conference staffing might continue to cover the broad range of concerns of Christian education.
Most of us know Belton, and we hold him in highest esteem. His work has been creative, his spirit
uplifting, his wit refreshing. He is an exceedingly wholesome individual who has made an indelible
impression upon the lives of children, youth, and adults across the Conference. In his work he has
not been afraid to try something new. He has sometimes made the outlandish to praise Gold! He has
appealed to the eye as well as to the ear, to the sense of touch, to all our powers as perceiving beings
created in the image of God. To borrow a phrase from a familiar hymn, his meetings have been full
"of marvel and surprise." But in all his doings, Belton has continued to be a modest person,
standing in the background insofar as possible, seeking to further not himself but the Master's own
Kingdom. It is evident to us that from this same Master he has accepted a calling to be both servant
and friend.
Now as Belton comes to the close of his period of service at the Methodist Building and returns to
a pastorate, the Division of Education wishes to call attention to the remarkable service he has
rendered as a leader in the educational ministries of the Conference and to express our profound
gratitude to him. We also wish for him and his family a long and continuing success in the work of
God.
CONSECRATION OF DIRECTORS OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AND A DIRECTOR OF
MUSIC: Christian White presented Joan Renee Riggan and Irene Faircloth Gattis, candidates as
Directors of Christian Education, and Henry Ransom Batten, candidate as Director of Music.

1 ' A North Carolina Annual Conference
PROPOSED POSITION DESCRIPTION
BY
A Committee of the Economic Development Task Force
North Carolina Annual Conference
The United Methodist Church
April 17, 1974
TITLE: Coordinator/Enabler for Special Ministries and Economic Development
PROVISION: That the North Carolina Conference here assembled, do authorize the Council on
Ministries to appoint an additional staff person to be known as the Coordinator/Enabler for Special
Ministries and Economic Development, to be effective immediately following the Annual
Conference session in 1975. To implement this resolution, funding shall be arranged by the Council
on Finance and Administration.
BACKGROUND
During this current 1973-74 appointment year, urgent focus has been given to wholistic ministry
to and with the whole man in his whole environment. Special attention is being given to economic
developement and inclusive outreach ministries to and with all the people of our Conference area.
An Economic Development Task Force has been formed this appointment year and this proposal is
an outgrowth of activities of that Task Force.
RESPONSIBILITY O VER VIEW:
In keeping with Luke 4: 18-19. the Coordinator/Enabler -would help the United Methodist
Church and the Church Interdenominational at the parish, community, county. Conference, and
State level to become involved in socio-economic ministry, alleviating causes of privation and
fostering programs for the full development of persons, peoples, and communities. The
Coordinator/Enabler would also provide special leadership in the developement and extension of
the United Methodist Church among low-income persons and ethnic minorities.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. SPECIAL MINISTRIES
The United Methodist Church is not effectively ministering to a large segment of our Eastern
North Carolina population, and especially economic and ethnic minorities. For example, there has
been only limited racial inclusiveness in the appointive system of our Conference, very limited
recruitment of Black or Indian ministers, and negligible extension of the United Methodist Church
into the Black population and life in the North Carolina. Therefore, the Coordinator/Enabler must
do the following:
a. Interpret, communicate, and mediate the practical mission of the United Methodist Church
from local churches to the Conference Council on Ministries and beyond, and from the Conference
Council on Ministries and beyond to the local churches with appropriate perspective.
b. Help determine specific geographic and population areas unreached by the United Methodist
Church and with limited non-United Methodist ministry. Help set goals and establish means for
practical and effective church extension.
c. Help set goals and engage effective means for recruitment of persons into church vocations, and
especially into the pastoral ministry.
d. Help set goals and effect a growing inclusive itineracy and lay participation in the full local
church and institutional life of the North Carolina Conference.
e. Help make available suitable training for local church leadership development with ethnic
minority perspective where vital to such development.
f. Help provide the churches of our Conference practical understanding of and a commitment to
ministry to and with all the people of our Conference area by personal presence and other means.
g. Help mobilize and coordinate the resources of our total Conference constituency, organization
and program for special ministries to special needs.
2. ECONOMIC DE VELOPMENT
The Church of Jesus Christ in general and the United Methodist Church in particular, have
ministered in adequate and exciting ways to the spiritual needs of our constituency. It is a fact,
however, that we have often failed to remember that salvation includes a vital concern for the whole
person; his spiritual and physical health, the quality of his environment, and his freedom and ability
to reach his full potential as a human being. It is important that we direct the love power we have in
Journal of Proceedings
Christ to break us out of temptations to become internal, ingrown, exclusive, and fenced-in. It is
important that we use the love power we have in Lhnst to effect social change that will enable the
afflicted to become whole. Therefore, the Coordinator/Enabler should do the following:
a. Be an interpreter to United Methodists in Eastern North Ca-olina of the mandate of the Gospel
that we care and be involved in ministry to and with the whole man in his whole relationship to life,
now, as well as. hereafter.
b. Help persons, parishes, communities, counties. Conference and State to be aware of
socio-economic problems and opportunities for ministry, e.g., to assess employment opportunities
and quality of employment at given spheres and to set goals to alter and improve existing
employment and /or to set goals and policy for establishment of new employment opportunities;
further to assess adult education needs and the affect on pull personhood, as well as employment,'
and set goals and policy to reduce illiteracy and to improve the adult educational and funcationai
level for personhood and employment
c. help identify and communicate to the awakened and committed Christian Action groups for
resources of church, private sector, and government, that relate to specific problems and voids in
people, services or programs.
d. Enable persons, peoples, parishes, to be better engaged in programs and ministry to the
socio-economic problems, privation and injustice at every level from community to state, mobilizing
for Christian*solutions to social ills.
MEMORIAL SERVICE: Bishop Blackburn presided over the Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m.
The Prelude was "Praise to the Lord" by Walther. After the congregation sang "Crown Him With
Many Crowns." O. M. Graham led in prayer. Mrs. Beth Marshburn Bell, Soprano, sang "I Know
That My Redeemer Liveth" by Handel.
Kimsey King read the roll call of our honored dead to answer Question No. 40, "What ministers
have died during the past Conference year?" The list was as follows: Jakie Locklear, Harris Freo
Surratt. Louis DeMaro Hayman, Hersey Everett Spence, Roland S. Murphy, Horace Greeley
Ridaught. E. C. Durham, Etheridge M. Rhiner. Mack Donald McLamb, Ralph Dillingham
Wellons. and Lester Archie Tilley. In answer to the Question, "What minister's wives have died

1 he congregation sang "I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord."
Announcements were made by Kimsey King.
Following the Benediction the service was closed with the postlude, "Rigaudon."
SECOND DAY. AFTERNOON SESSION
Tuesday, June 4, 1 974
The afternoon session began at 2:00 p.m. with the singing of "Glorious Things of Thee Are
Spoken." Bishop Blackburn gave the invocation.
HEALTH AND WELFARE MINISTRIES: Paul Edwards called on J. W. Lineberger to make a
report on the Methodist Home for Children.
TRUSTEES OF THE METHODIST HOME FOR CHILDREN, INC.
Since the Annual Conference has changed the Conference fiscal year to correspond with the
calendar year, the Trustees decided to change the fiscal year for the Methodist home to correspond
with the Annual Conference year, beginning January 1, 1974. This has required a number of
adjustments in record keeping and reporting. Hereafter the fiscal year will be the calendar year
ending December 31 .
Services— The Home serves children who need to live in its residential program. At the same time
every effort is made to maintain the strongest possible ties between the children and their relatives.
116 North Carolina Annual Conference
This family involvement is essential to the child's mental health and general happiness. One cottage
is temporarily closed. Nine cottages on campus and one off-campus cottage are presently operated,
with a capacity of 113 children in residence. In addition, a few children can be cared for in Mother's
Aid and in Foster Homes. Usually four to six students are in some form of Post-High School
Education.
General Operation — More than a year ago the Superintendent made known his desire to retire.
He had already reached the age for voluntary retirement in the Annual Conference. The Board
acceded to his request and appointed a Search Committee to nominate a successor. In view of the
impending change in administration, an effort has been made to maintain a stable "status quo"
situation during this period. It is anticipated that the new Superintendent will be elected in April
and will take over the administrative responsibility after the Annual Conference in June.
Finances — During the period of fifteen months ending December 31, 1973 the Home has
operated within its income, in spite of the rapidly increasing cost of everything which had to be
purchased. The adjustments in records and procedures made necessary by the change-over in fiscal
years makes a financial statement very complicated. For that reason this report does not contain a
financial statement. The Auditor's Report gives the details and indicates that the records of the
Home are proper and in order.
In adopting a Budget for the year 1974 it has been necessary to reduce total expenditures
somewhat below the figure which was estimated as necessary to maintain the level of services. The
Trustees felt that it was necessary to live within the limits of our income, even at the cost of reducing
services. The increasing-cost of everything has advanced more rapidly than our income. The
Operating Budget for the year 1 974 was set at $554, 1 28.
Seventy-fifth Anniversary — The period 1974-75marks the Seventy-fifth Anniversary ofthefounding
of the Methodist Home for Children. The Home was chartered in March 1899 as the "Methodist
Orphanage. "The first child was admitted in 1900. The name was changed to "Methodist Home for
Children" in 1955. Plans for the appropriate recognition of this Anniversary are in the making but
have not been completed at this time.
Signed,
L. Merritt Jones, President, Board of Trustees
J. W. Lineberger, Superintendent
Paul Edwards called for approval of Section IV, page 80, Book of Recommendations, and it was
done. L. Merritt Jones, President of the Board of Trustees for the Home presented Lineberger with
a plaque of appreciation. Marvin Vick, as the newly appointed Administrator of the Home, asked
for the continued prayer and support of the Conference for the Home. Lineberger asked the
Conference members to examine the 75th anniversary brochure for the Home given to the delegates
at the beginning of the afternoon session. Lineberger highlighted the history of the Home since its
founding in 1899. Benjie Minton spoke about his experiences as a resident of the Home for the past
ten years a-nd the opportunities it provided for him. Bobby Simpson spoke as President of the
Alumni Association of the Home. Cliff Shoaf brought words of appreciation from the trustees of the
Home. Will Chadwick of New Bern was recognized as the oldest living trustee of the Home. Bishop
Blackburn expressed appreciation for the Home and those who worked with the Home.
Vassar Jones introduced a group of youth from the Murdoch Center, Butner, N. C, who
presented a Celebration, "Dance, Dance, Wherever You May Be." Staff members who led the
group included Mrs. Pat Willis, Mrs. Virginia Cooper, Chaplain Jim McSwain, Chaplain Harley
Cecil and Student Chaplain Charlie Bullock. Harley Cecil expressed appreciation to the
Conference for the time on the program for the celebration. Dr. Robert Pitzer brought greetings as
executive director of SEM AR.
Edwards spoke of the need for the church to work in the area of Mental Retardation and moved
the adoption of Sections I, II, and III of the report, pages 79 and 80, Book of Recommendations.
These three sections were adopted.
Edwards recognized Joe Coble for a report on the Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc. Edwards
moved passage of Section V, page 80, Book of Recommendations. Reginald Ponder asked questions
Edwards recognized Joe Coble for a report on the Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc., Edwards
said Dr. Kimsey King's name should have been included in Section III, paragraph 1. Bishop
Blackburn said this could be included when the report as a whole is voted upon. Edwards moved
passage of Section V, page 80, Book of Recommendations, Reginald Ponder asked questions
concerning financial arrangements for Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc: 1) "How many persons
are on the waiting list for the home in Durham and the home planned for Lumberton?" Answer:
about 65. 2) "What is the combined capacity of the two homes and new Health Care Center?"
Answer: 400. 3)"What will be the cost of the Lumberton home to the Conference?" Answer: "We
have $400,000 from Lumberton, and the remainder will be borrowed." 4)"Will the additional home
require any additional operating funds from the North Carolina Conference?" Answer: "Nothing, if
they do not choose to do so." 5) "Is it reasonable to venture into expansion without knowing where
capital funds are coming from?" Answer: The Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc., according to
Coble, only he wants the opportunity to ask for funds, and the Home will only be built when funds
are available. Mrs. Joseph Bryant spoke in favor of the motion saying: "Nothing ventured. Nothing
gained. We have a home in Durham and one is being built in Lumberton. Facilities are needed in
the eastern part of the Conference as well!" Section V was approved. The report was adopted in full,
with the inclusion of the name of Dr. Kimsey King as Assistant Administrator in Section III.

DIVISION OF MINISTRY: E. M. Thompson called for Questions 28, 37, 38, 39, 41 and 42.
(See Condensed Minutes) They were approved.
MOTION: Walter McDonald offered a motion to establish a Committee to Study the Costs of
Travel Relating to Parish Programs. The motion was laid on the table for 24 hours, as the Confer-
ence Rules require.
A MOTION TO ESTABLISH A COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE COSTS OF TRAVEL
RELATING TO PARISH PROGRAMS
Whereas travel is an expense necessary for effective programs in each and every parish;
Whereas in the 1973 North Carolina Conference it was reported that in over 51% of the charges
no portion of travel expenses was borne by the parish, thereby causing the full travel
expense to have been borne by the pastor;
Whereas bearing 100% of parish travel expense creates an inordinate hardship upon low-in-
come pastors;
Whereas there is in the North Carolina Annual Conference no systematic procedure or process i
by which those charges paying travel allowances derive the amount paid, thus creating
situations in which travel allowances may be given in lieu of salary, and
Whereas recent increases of nearly 100% in the cost of gasoline and increases in the purchase
price of automobiles have caused sharp rises in parish travel costs;
We. therefore move that there be established, a COST OF PARISH TRAVEL
That the said committee shall:
1 . A representative from each of the following bodies (elected by each of them respecti-
vely): the Cabinet, the Town and Country Committee, the Commission on Equit-
able Salaries; the Methodist Ministers' Credit Union, the Division of Stewardship, |
the Division of Lay Life and Work, and the Council on Finance and Administra- ;
tion.
2. Three lay members and three clerical members appointed by the Bishop.
THAT THE SAID COMMITTEE SHALL:
Journal of Proceedings 119
1. Make a study of all policies and programs relating to parish travel operative within
the annual conferences of the United Methodist Church.
2. Investigate the travel costs necessary for the effective implementation of parish pro-
grams in North Carolina.
3. Present to the 1975 session of the North Carolina Annual Conference for its consi-
deration such policies and procedures as may eventuate in a consistent, equitable,
and effective assumption by each parish of full responsibility for the travel necessary
to the program of each parish.
RESOLUTIONS: Andy Ringler, youth delegate of the New Bern District, brought resolutions
concerning Southeast Asia, Plight of the Farmworker, and Amnesty. These resolutions were laid on
the table for 24 hours, (text follows)
SOUTHEASTASIA
Whereas the United States has been involved with the affairs of Southeast Asia since it superseded
the European counties as a major military force in trying to police the world; and rid; and
Whereas the tactics have gone so far as illegal warfare in order to prevent self-determination;
Therefore, be it resolved by this Annual Conference that we call for the immediate halt to American
participation in hostilities in Southeast Asia and the withdrawal of American military, economic,
ind political support of military regimes in Southeast Asia.
This resolution is to be sent by the N. C. Conference Secretary to President Richard M. Nixon and
the North Carolina Congressional Delegation.
PLIGHT OF THE FARM WORKER
Whereas the farmworkers of today are in a struggle against their exploitation, and
Whereas (From the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church). "We advocate the right to,
and applaud their efforts toward responsible self organization and self determination.
Whereas the farmworkers have united for the cause of self organization and self determination, in a
union named the United Farm Workers;
Whereas (from The United Methodist Social Creed). "We b elieve in the right and duty of persons
to work for the good of themselves and others, and in the protection of their welfare in so doing, in
the rights to property as a trust from God, collective bargaining, and in the responsible
consumption; and in the elimination of economic and social distress;"
Therefore be it resolved that we support and urge others to support the United Farm Workers by:
1. Joining in the grape and lettuce boycott of non-United Farm Workers produce, in-
cluding not patronizing stores not using U. F. W. produce.
2. Advocating and disseminating information about the plight of the farmworkers.
3. Participating in United Farm Workers activities: supporting the boycott and
directing aid to the farmworkers.
AMNESTY
Whereas the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church states: "We support those
individuals who conscientiously oppose all war, or any particular war and who therefore refuse to
serve in the armed forces;" and
Whereas. "We believe that war is incompatible with the teachings and example of Christ ... that
human values must outweigh military claims as governments determine their priorities," and
Whereas we recognize the right of the individual to answer to the call of his government according to
the dictates of his Christian conscience; and
Whereas we recognize that non-violent resistence can be a valid form of Christian witness; and
Whereas war and bloodshed are contrary to the Christian concept of human welfare;" Therefore be
it resolved that we support those individuals who conscientiously oppose all war, and therefore
120 North Carolina Annual Conference
refuse to serve in the armed forces. We thus support amnesty for all draft and war resistors
(including those who resisted after induction) and call The United Methodist Church to work on all
levels to support amnesty by:
1 . Studies of the amnesty question in the light of the United Methodist Church's Social
Principles and Christian Doctrine of Brotherhood.
2. Support conscientious resistors with information, prayer, and aid.
3. Sending letters as individual persons, local churches, and as an Annual Conference
to President Richard M. Nixon and our Congressional Representatives to show out
support of amnesty.
4. Supporting the Bishop's Call to Peace and the Self- Development of Peoples.
RULES: Don Lee Harris brought the report of the committee, pages 67, 68, 69 and 70, Book of
Recommendations. James Coile, secretary, pointed out changes in the rules.
AMENDMENT: Rufus Stark offered an amendment to Secion III of the Report of the Commit-
tee on Rules, page 67, Book of Recommendations, (text follows)
A PROPOSAL
Pertaining to election procedures for choosing Delegates for General and Jurisdictional Conference,
The North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Whereas, the election of lay and clergy delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conference of the
Church is a matter of singular importance to4he health of the United Methodist Church as people of
God; and
Whereas, our present method of balloting was designed for a day when the Annual Conference was
small and members knew each other well; and
Whereas, our present method of balloting is extremely time consuming;
Therefore, we propose that the Section III of the Rules of Order and Procedure be amended to read:
Election of delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conferences:
a. Only clerical members in full connection and elected and registered lay delegates may
vote. (Alternate lay delegates may not vote except in the absence of the delegates and
then only if they are duly registered in lieu of the delegate.)
*b. A preferential nominating ballot in which each member will nominate 10 persons in the
order of preference will be taken by mail. (Preferential balloting means that the one
nominated in first place gets ten ooints. the one nominated in second place gets nine
points, etc.. and the one nominated in tenth place gets one point.)
A letter containing the ballot and instruction for using it shall be mailed out to each
member of the Annual Conference by the Conference Secretary on March 1. This
ballot will be returned by April 1.
*c. There shall be no election declared on this nominating ballot, but the results of the first
ballot will be distributed to each member of the Conference by May 1. The voting, how-
ever, would not be restricted to those so nominated.
*d. For every person-who has received 50 points, nominating speeches may be made for no
longer than 5 minutes.
*e. Written biographical materials may be distributed to the Conference members.
•f. All other votes must be cast in the bar of the conference as determined by the confer-
ence; votes must be cast upon the official ballots authorized by the conference; ballots
shall be placed by individual delegates in ballot boxes; whereupon the bishop shall de-
clare the balloting closed,
g. The official ballots furnished to the delegates shall be numbered consecutively and no
vote shall be valid unless cast upon the ballot bearing the number designated by the
presiding officer for such particular balloting. In the event a ballot is defaced, it may
Journal of Proceedings 121
be exchanged at the secretary's desk for another ballot bearing the same number.
Ballots furnished to lay delegates shall be different in color from those furnished to
clerical delegates.
♦These five items are the proposed additions to the pre "it provision.
Norwood Jones asked a question about tenure, paragraph 4, page 68, Book of Recommendations.
}rier Garrick asked a question about tenures of less than eight years. Charles Myers asked about
K.I., page 68, Book of Recommendations. Myers wanted "other institutions" inserted here. The
?ommittee accepted the amendment. Robert Cushman moved that Section II, paragraph 1., page
>7. Book of Recommendations be changed to delete "yes or no" for voting, thus limiting voting to
ither a show of hands or by standing. Russell Stott spoke against the Cushman motion. The
"ushman motion failed to carry. The vote by standing count was 176 against, 145 for.
Action on the report of the committee on rules was delayed until the next day.
DIVISION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: Langill Watson presented changes to the charter of
Jorth Carolina Weslyan College, page 81, Book of Recommendations and changes to the charter

122 North Carolina Annual Conference
STUDENT STATUS: Herman Winberry ottered a Position Statement on student status to be
considered the following day.
POSITION STATEMENT ON STUDENT STATUS AND RELATED MATTERS
1. To be classified as a student in preparation for conference membership, a person must be
enrolled in 12 hours or more of credit work per semester* (either in residence, by correspond-
ence, or in combination of both) in an accredited college; or in 9 hours or more of credit work
per semester* in an accredited seminary or graduate school. This classification is to be imposed
uniformly on all persons who have not achieved full membership in the annual conference.
a. For information: A Lay Pastor classified as a student who is making appropriate progress in
his her academic work may be excused by the Conference Division of Ministry from taking
the Course of Study, in accordance with paragraphs 348.3 and 320.2 of the 1972 Discipline.
b. A Student Lay Pastor who is making appropriate progress in his/her academic work will be
given ' 2 year of service-time credit by the Conference Division of Ministry for each year he/
she serves in this category. This credit is for meeting requirements in the area of status anc

A RESOLUTION FROM
DIVISION OF MISSIONS
WHEREAS, 43% of the membership of the North Carolina Annual Conference is in churches of
300 or less which comprise 79% of all churches in the North Carolina Conference," and
WHEREAS, traditionally and historically, most of these churches, by virtue of small size and
relatively weak financial strength, have been grouped into multi-church charges, sometimes without
due regard to the efficiency of available resources; and
Journal of Proceedings 127
WHEREAS, there has been in the minds of many clergy and laity a stigma attached to ministerial
appointments and to the status of multi-church charges and small membership churches; and
WHEREAS, congregations of small membership are often apprehensive about their self
determination and therefore threatened and defensive; and
WHEREAS, it has been demonstrated that inter-congregational cooperation has been successful
in providing stronger leadership, membership, finances, and program; and
WHEREAS, The Bishop, Cabinet Members, and other Conference Leadership have expressea
interest in and commitment to inter-congregational cooperation:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That the North Carolina Conference commit itself to provide a richer Christian experience for
every individual and family through participation in a fully programmed church life. One of the
ways this goal may be achieved is through inter-congregational cooperation. This
inter-congregational cooperation may be carried out in multiple patterns. These multiple patterns
must be determined by the participating congregations on the basis of the need of their members
and community. When congregations respond in this manner and participate in cooperative
programs in this way, they are taking on characteristics of Parish as described in the *Disciplin'e
106.3. (See below).
2. That the small membership churches be assured of their value and strength in the total ministry of
our Conference.
3. That it be understood that inter-congregational cooperative activities cannot be restricted to the
small membership church, in the realization that larger churches will benefit through cooperative
and/or extended ministries.
4. That one of the goals of the North Carolina Conference be that the inter-congregational
cooperative parish compare favorably with the larger station parish appointments. Realizing that it
will take time for this goal to be achieved the Annual Conference must commit itself to provide
enabling resources.
5. That an inter-congregational cooperation training experience be held annually for laity and
clergy.
6. That an inter-board committee be appointed to serve as a trained and enabling group to assist in
the developement of inter-congregational cooperation. This committee will be amenable to the
Town and Country Sub-committee of the Division of Mission and will consist of the following:
A Cabinet representative, Clergy and Laity with expertise in parish developement, Outreach
staff person, Town and Country Chairperson representative of the Parish Fellowship,
representative of Equitable Salaries, representative of UMW, representative of UMYF,
Chairperson of the Division of Mission.
*A parish may be identified as one or more local churches who, because of geographic location
or particular needs, coordinate program and organization to fulfill a ministry directed to all the
people in the general geographic area. It may include local churches of other denominations.
However, those United Methodist Churches involved in the composition of the parish shall be
amenable to a Charge Conference, organized according to the Discipline of The United Meth-
odist Church to which minister(s) may be duly appointed or appointable as pastor in charge and
associate pastor(s). Some forms of the parish structure include: parish/staff type, extended
ministry, enlarged charge, group ministry, yoked field, and federated church."

COMMITTEE ON PARSONAGE STANDARDS: Mrs. James Auman brought the report, page

"I move that paragraph 2 be deleted and the following substituted in its stead :
1. "It is recommended that, in each pastoral charge having a parsonage, the charge conference
130 North Carolina Annual Conference
elect annually a Parsonage Committee, or perhaps operate on a rotation basis with at least one
or two members going off each year and one or two new members being elected. In charges of
more than one church, each church should have a representative on the parsonage committee
except when one church owns the parsonage, then the Parsonage Committee should be elected by
the Administrative Board of that church. Ex-officio members of the committee should include
the pastor's spouse, chairperson of the trustees, and chairperson of the pastor-parish relations
committee. Membership of the committee should not exceed nine persons.
It becames the responsibility of the Parsonage Committee to work closely with the Board of
Trustees in providing an adequate and comfortable residence for the pastor and his famil
More specifically, the parsonage committee should be responsible for parsonage furnish'
and generally the inside of the home. The trustees should be responsible for all paintir .d
repairs to the house itself and generally repairs to appliances and utility services (wiring,
heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, etc.); also, the upkeep of driveways and provision for an
adequate lawn mower for the pastor and his family to maintain lawn. Toward these ends, the
Parsonage Committee and Trustees should meet regularly and as needed."
2. "I move that on p. 86. under the section entitled 'THE HOUSE', that item No. 10 be amended
by adding the following statement:
"At this point, it should be noted that more and more parsonage families are accumulating
furniture of their own, particularly bedroom furniture, andjocal church committees should be
sympathetic to this desire to make a parsonage feel like "home" instead of borrowed quarters."
3. "I move that on p. 86. under the section entitled "THE FURNISHINGS", that the next line
should be made to read in this fashion:
"The pastoral charge, or the church owning the parsonage, should be willing to provide:"
4. "I move that on p. 87, under the section entitled "GENERAL STATEMENT", that sentence 2,
par. 1 be amended so that it reads: "Therefore, it is suggested that "Open House" might be
desirable on occasion."
Section 1 of the proposed amendment passed. Section 2 lost. Section 3 carried. Section 4 lost. The

minutes should be in the binder, the most current reports be placed at 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.

Journal of Proceedings 133

RESOLUTION
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS AND REFERENCES
On behalf of the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church the Committee on
Resolutions and References expresses sincere appreciation to Methodist College for hosting our one
hundred and forty-ninth session. We have been especially aware of the beautiful grounds and clean
lovely buildings. We felt on the very first day the warm song of welcome sung by the well-known trio
of Dr. Richard W. Pearce, President of The College; The Honorable Jackson F. Lee, Mayor of the
City of Fayetteville; Dr. N.W. Grant, Host Superintendent.
We took note of the fact that The Welcome of the Burlington District was not diluted by distance
but was even more fervent. We join our voices as one to say: "Thank You, Bill Lowdermilk, and
Your Committee on Entertainment for serving us so well and with such graciousness."
We say to those who helped in the Cafeteria: "You have served us well." The meals were
outstanding. We commend the various agencies for displays that added to our understanding of
their work.
We gratefully acknowledge the use of the Allen 600 Series Computer Organ furnished by The
Allen Organ Company, Rocky Mount.
To The North Carolina Conference Chapter of the Fellowship of the United Methodist Musicians,
Roger Searles, Chairperson, we say, you have achieved a new mark of excellence in providing music
for the services of our Annual Conference. We are most appreciative. We express gratitude to The
Planning Committee for continuing the practice of evening worship services.
We commend the reporters of the Durham Morning-Herald. The Raleigh News and Observer,
and The Fayetteville Observer, who effectively shared the work of our Conference.
We thank the youth of this Conference for their presence and keen participation in this
Conference. We urge them, "Right on! Right on!"
We thank from the bottom, the very bottom of our hearts the staff and workers of The Murdoch
Center at Butner for sharing with us their beautiful children and young persons. It was a dance of
beauty and will be to us a joy forever.
We must mention with thanks those who planned and carried out the Memorial Service, done
with honesty and integrity. Dr. J.V. Early preached a splendid sermon. But in all fairness, we must
say Reverend Willis Stevens made the best speech of his life.
We thank that scientist and philosopher. Dr. George Schweitzer, for showing all of us what it
means to swing from star to star in preaching the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to Almighty God for our Bishop, who has presided over our Conference in such a
brotherly and fair manner. We thank him for his excellent and positive State of the Church Address
and we express the hope that this practice will continue. Your Committee has done some research on
Bishop Blackburn's middle initial "M." The latest poll reveals that his name should read Bishop
Robert "Move'em" Blackburn. We give heartfelt and deep thanks to our bishop for inspiring our
134 North Carolina Annual Conference
hearts and for strengthening us by his love.
To Mary Jeanne Blackburn we say: "Thank you for knowing so many of us and calling us by
name. Your presence has added a dimension of joy, warmth, and blessedness to our Conference."
We cannot conclude this without saying to Reverend Kimsey King and his staff, "Well done, good
and faithful servants."
We give thanks for each minister and each layperson who has attended this Conference because
one of our greatest blessings has been each other.
To all who have contributed to this 149th session, we hereby express appreciation and for all of
the high favors and blessings we have mentioned and for all of those known only to each person, we
accept these blessings with Thanksgiving from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the source of
every good gift. Amen.

E.M. Thompson, Secretary

tinue their investigation and report at the next session of the Annual Conference. At this point, the
Stark Proposal was ruled out of order. Stan Smith moved "That a Bishop's Task Force on Election

HAROLD DEFORREST MINOR
1925-1972
Harold D. Minor was born in Lake City, Iowa November 16, 1925. He died studdenly and
unexpectedly of a heart attack on November 21, 1972 in Parkview Hospital, Nashville, Tennes-
see. Memorial services were held at the United Methodist Publishing House, Adams Presbyteri-
an Church and Belmont Methodist Church all in Nashville.
The Reverend Mr. Minor's last gift to his fellowman was
gl^HtgBfe, the gift of his body to the Vanderbilt Medical School, Van-
Gderbilt University for medical research. His library was given
to the Divinity School of Vanderbilt University.
Following his decision for the ministry, Harold entered
Morningside College, Sioux City, Iowa from which he gradu-
l ated Cum Laude in 1947 whereupon he begun his training at
Garrett Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois. At Garrett
he sang in the choir and was a director of the Inter-Seminary
•^ '„ Movement. He served for two years as pastor of the Method-
f A \ ist Church in South Elgin, Illinois. He graduated from Garrett
\^^\^ _ in 1951.
gfa: ^L ^^fl^^ Mr- Minor is survived by his widow, the former Mary Ruth
^^ AJ ^^t Thompson of North Carolina and three sons, Michael S. of
^k <3 ^L Washington D.C., Sterling A. of Durham, N.C., and Gary B.
^L ^L wM of Franklin, Tennessee.
I^AAH Harold was received in the North Carolina Conference by
transfer from the North Iowa Conference, November 1,
1953, and appointed to the Faison Charge. He was appointed
the first full-time Director of Adult Education for the North Carolina Conference in 1956, and
to the General Board of Education, Curriculum Division, Nashville, Tennessee in 1961 as
assistant Editor of Adult Publications.
Harold's concern for genuine Christian education of adults was best expressed in his book
New Ways For A New Day (1965 Graded Press): "If our hearts are hardened and our minds
closed, we will fail our personal vocation, our church's mission, and our Lord's commission:
' Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age ' (Matthew 28:19-20). But if our hearts are
committed to God's mission and our minds are open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, one can
hardly imagine the Christian revolution that may occur."
In addition to New Ways for A New Day, he edited two other books, Creative Procedures
for Adult Groups, which he dedicated "To Mary Ruth and our three sons, Mike, Sterling, and
Gary", and Techniques and Resources for Guiding Adult Groups. Numerous articles by him
appeared in several church periodicals, and he was always in demand across the church for
leadership events, interpreting the role of adult education and resources for learning.
A warm, thoughtful, dedicated Christian educator, he was editor of Adult Leader for ten
years. Through these vignette quotations, we see his gentle spirit: "We grow through struggle
and overcoming, by being stretched and resisted and surrounded. To overcome, we need a dream
big enough to lift our sights beyond the barriers. And we need reliance upon a Creator who is
making us in His image. Fear paralyzes. When we are afraid of rejection or ridicule, our words
and actions, even our thoughts, are blocked, freedom of expression is impossible. Creativity is
lost. Tension rules and inhibits us. But love, expressed in words of appreciation or caressing
touch, frees our life forces. One who can communicate love can truly give new life to another
. . . (The Christian Home, March, 1973). His last article appeared in The Church School May,
1973.
A short time prior to his death, Harold had asked Dr. Thomas A. Langford, Dean of the
Divinity School, Duke University to write an article on the resurrection. After talking with
Harold, Dean Langford wrote: "What I had known was reinforced: Harold was a religious man,
178
North Carolina Annual Conference
a man who struggled to live, and a man who tried to serve others. He was rather self-effacing,
sometimes wrong, but resilient and determined. Now he is dead, but before he died he had
asked that I write about the resurrection. -Harold has died. The loss is real, but his death also
bears witness to the resurrection life we have in Christ." (Adult Leader, March-April-May,
1974).

The Reverend Jakie Locklear, Jr. was born on December 11, 1912, in the Prospect Com-

span of Reverend Locklear was 61 years. He died in Atlanta,
* Georgia while attending a Conference on Evangelism. He suf-
fered a fatal heart attack at the evening service held in the

Funeral services were conducted on Friday afternoon,
June 22, 1973 at the Prospect United Methodist Church by
The Reverend Simeon F. Cummings, assisted by The

and Dr. Joyce V. Early. Interment took place in the New
Prospect Community Cemetery. His funeral was well
attended by many of his friends.
He was graduated from the Prospect High School. He

Branch Street-Philadelphus Charge. Other Charges he served
in the North Carolina Conference are: Sandy Plains, Ashpole-
Pleasant Grove, Fairview-Hickory Grove and Collins Chapel.
It has been my privilege and pleasure to know Reverend Jakie Locklear and to be closely
associated with him in the pastoral ministry. During all these years I found him to be a man
called to preach. He was a man of genuine sincerity, loyal devotion, strong faith and deep
spiritual insight. He was a good preacher, a compassionate pastor and an evangelist. He was a
devoted husband and a loving father. He knew, loved and served the Lord with joy and
gladness. Best of all he loved to sing the gospel into the hearts of his audience.
He was faithful to the end, he fought a good fight, he kept the faith and he finished the
course in this world. Jesus said, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a Crown of
Life." Our Brother in Christ was faithful. We have faith to believe that he will receive the
Crown of Life.
"Servant of God, well done. Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle's fought, the race is won and thou are crowned at last."

HARRIS FREO SURRATT
1890-1973
The Reverend Harris Freo Surratt was born in Davidson County, near Jackson Hill, North
Carolina, July 16, 1890, a son of Cicero Harris Surratt and Rosalie Bischerer Surratt. He
graduated from Western Maryland College and Westminster Theological Seminary, Westminster,
Maryland. The Westminster Theological Seminary is now Wesley Theological Seminary, Wash-
ington, D.C.
On November 15, 1922 in Grace Methodist Protestant
Church, Greensboro, North Carolina, he married Miss Herati
Coe. She died on June 6, 1962 in Durham, North Carolina,
where they had lived since Brother Surratt retired in 1957.
After a long period of failing health, he died at Memorial
Hospital, Lexington, North Carolina, June 26, 1973. His fu-
neral service was held at Central United Methodist Church,
Denton, North Carolina, June 27, 1973, by the Reverend
Gilbert Miller, pastor of the church. Interment was in Moun-
tain View Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Denton, with Mason-
ic graveside rites. (A few days thereafter the body of Mrs.
Surratt was moved from the New Annex of Maplewood Cem-
etery, Durham, and re-interred beside him).
He is survived by one brother, Cone Theo Surratt, who
lives in Denton.
He joined the North Carolina Conference of the former
Methodist Protestant Church in 1917 at Mebane, North Caro-
lina, and was ordained an elder in 1918. He served the follow-
ing appointments in that conference: 1917-1 9 19-Orange Circuit, 1920-1922-Whitakers,
1923-1927-Charlotte, First Church, 1928-1929-Winston, First Church, 1930-Student, Yale
University, 1 93 1 Enfield-Whitakers, 1 932-1 934-Thomasville Central Church,
1935-1 938-Graham, First Church. With unification in 1939 he became a member of the North
Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church, and served the following appointments in that
conference: 1939-1942-Windsor, 1 943-1 946-Edenton-Windsor, 1947-1948-Tabor City,
1949-1 950-Rich Square, 1 951-1952-Kenly, 1953-1955-Rocky Mount, Clark Street,
1956-Four Oaks, 1957 -Retired; After retirement he served as Pastor of Visitation at Asbury
Methodist Church, Durham.
Thus, one sees that Brother Surratt served for forty years in the active ministry. They were
years of faithful labors and his ministry was effective in all the areas of the Church's mission.
He was a good gospel preacher and his sermon illustrations were centered in the scriptures,
magnifying the love of God and the redeeming grace of Christ. His delivery was of a mild
manner and the substance of his messages was inspiring and challenging.
He was a devoted shepherd to his people, ever mindful of all their needs. He and his good
wife worked as a team and the people loved them for their attentive ministrations. They found
a special delight in working with the children and youth.
Brother Surratt had a quiet dignity about him and walked unassumingly along the pathway
of privilege and duty. He performed his daily work with a calm assurance that he was always
about his Father's business, ever seeking to know and to do His will. His life was characterized
by simplicity and sincerity, which are attributes at the heart of integrity.
Though dead, he still lives through the good deeds he did, the transforming gospel he
preached, and the godly influence he exerted.
Doubtless, he could have spoken of his Home-going in these words of Studdert Kennedy:
"So I looked up to God,
And while I held my breath
I saw Him slowly nod,
And knew-as I had never known aught else,
With certainty sublime and passionate,
Shot through and through
With sheer unutterable bliss,
I knew
There was no death but this,
God's kiss,
And then the waking to an Everlasting Love.'

North Carolina Annual Conference
LOUIS demaro havman II
1885-1973
Louis Demaro Hayman II, the son of Daniel William Hay man II and Mary Elizabeth Perry
Hayman, was born at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on January 8, 1885. His first school was a
private school for the families of coastguardsmen afforded to his father and the other guards-
men serving the then isolated area known as the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The public-
schools of Dare County were the prelude to his college work
at Trinity College, Durham, where he won his A.B. (1913)
and B.S. (1919) degrees.
Louis was truly a "son of John Wesley." His first church
relationship was in the Kitty Hawk Methodist, a church
which had been organized by an Irish immigrant, Eliza Mur-
phy Hobbs and Daniel W. Hayman II, as the first Methodist
Sunday School and then the first Methodist church on the
outer banks.
Apparently Louis felt the call to preach at a very tender
age, for when he was about five years old ho was gathering
the local children in order to preach them a sermon. Some-
times, in lieu of a warmer congregation, he would align
sticks of stovewood and facing this attentive audience he
would again take his text and open it. No conversions were
noted here.
He was admitted to the membership in the North Carolina
Conference at Elizabeth City in 1910. He was ordained as
deacon in 1911 and elder in 1914. Eor more than forty years
he was faithful to his calling and ministry. Those pastorates he served were Windsor (1913),
Calvary, Durham (1917), Weldon (1919), Washington (1923), Trinity, Wilmington (1925), Troy
(1926), West Front Street, Burlington ( 1929), Steele Street, Sanford ( 193 1 ), Nashville (1933),
Ann Street, Beaufort (1937), Atlantic (1939), Whiteville (1943), Southport (1947), and Caroli-
na Beach (1950). He retired in 1953.
Following retirement, Louis and his wife Bess built and christened "Dunmoving" and moved
for the next to the last time into their little home at Southport. But Brother Hayman was called
out of retirement in the 1957-58 Conference year to organize a new congregation at the
promising sea-side resort of Yaupon Village. The church was orgainzed and a building complet-
ed. This church, now called Ocean View United Methodist Church, is a thriving congregation,
numbering 348 souls in 1973.
From his first appointment until his last; from Lakewood, Durham, to Ocean View, Yaupon
Beach, Louis was a building preacher. From Troy to the sea, several congregations are now
worshipping in churches organized and built under the leadership of Louis D. Hayman II.
While a student at Trinity College, Louis met the lovely young lady who was to be his
parsonage partner for life, Bessie Lucretia Widenhouse. They were married at Concord on
August 18, 1915, by Brother W. T. Albright, a brother-in-law to Mrs. Hayman, and a Methodist
preacher of the Western North Carolina Conference. Of this union there were two children, a
duaghter, Beryl, (now deceased) and a son. Dr. Louis Demaro Hayman III of Jacksonville,
North Carolina. Brother Louis' widow Bess is presently at the Methodist Retirement Home in
Durham. The other surviving members of his family are two sisters, Mrs. Cynthia Aguire and
Mrs. Rosalind Swain, both of Kitty Hawk.
Next to his Lord, his Bess and family, and his Methodist church, Louis loved the sea with its
moods, climates, and attendant interests. He was a builder of boats and a fisherman of no mean
ability. Folks who fished with him came to appreciate the art and labor of the fisherman. To
fish a day with Mr. Hayman was at one and the same time an anguish and a joy. The labor of
the first "haul" and the promise of the next were indicators of these emotions. His boats were J
creations in themselves. He had the uncanny know-how of building a boat so that she was as
seaworthy and useful as a boat should be.
In 1970, the Haymans moved to our retirement home in Durham where until his death on
August 22, 1973, Brother Hayman lived in a state of denning health and activity.
Journal of Proceedings 181
Funeral services were conducted in the Hall-Wynn Mortuary in Durham on August 23, by
the Reverends Joseph Coble, Superintendent of the Retirement Home, and Russell Knowles,
pastor of New Sharon Church in the Burlington District. Interment followed on the same day in
the Ocean View Cemetery on Yaupon Street in Beaufort. The Reverend R. L. Nicks, pastor of
the Ann Street Methodist Church in Beaufort joined The Reverends Mr. Coble and Knowles
for the interment service.
In the light of the creative activity of God and the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, it
is difficult to write "finished" to such a life. In his own words drawn from a letter written by
Brother Hayman concerning his "prospects" he pens,
"I shall not return again to the sea for commercial purposes . . . and once in a
while I will trek thitherward for renewal of the urge and fire that never will go out
until I close on the beautiful scenery of this fishing world to reopen in a land
beyond, where the nets are better, fish are bigger, goldenribbed boats to let, and
angels to wait on you while you revel in what is now a 'shadow of things to
come.' "
In an effort to express my estimate of this life now joined with heaven, I offer this tribute:
L'ENVOI
A barque has weighed its anchor And though at time of parting
It's compass course is Home. Those left behind are sad,
The sails are set for Heaven, Other friends have made the Westing
The tiller grip is strong. And the mooring will be glad.
No loss to clear this haven For the Master will be waiting
For that yet-out-of-sight At this last Port-O-Call;
For faith has caught the Vision He'll grant to him snug harbor
Of the Port of Sheer Delight. And a joy-filled "Welcome Home."
-William S. Davenport
HERSEY EVERETT SPENCE
1882-1973
Hersey Everett Spence was born June 12, 1882, near South Mills, North Carolina-the son of
a farmer, Joseph Newton Spence and mother, Lucy Indiana Spence. According to his own
testimony, Hersey spent his childhood fishing, trapping, hunting and reading. He was the
youngest of five children, with two older brothers, and with them he did not escape the rugged
chores of farm life. Indeed, he surprises us with the word that
(he worked on the farm until he was twenty-one years of age;
nor did the challenge of the soil or his horticultural know-
how ever leave him!
Even by contemporary standards his primary schooling
was meager. Not till the age of ten did the farm boy attend
the country school and, then, only for the annual three
months term. He had but one year of high school training,
yet in those years he studied in "spare hours" and "recited to
Mr. E. T. Burgess on Saturday afternoons at South Mills."
With this tutoring he was, nonetheless, able to matriculate at
Trinity College in 1903 and to graduate in four years, in
1907, with the B.A. degree, with honors in Classics and
English, and with the coveted Phi Beta Kappa-thenceforth
-^—A mm to be worn by chain on his lapel. Enrolling as candidate for
rs| the M.A. degree in English, he was awarded that degree in
H mm mm 1908. Such was his remarkable progress and evident promise
that he was immediately appointed by President John Carlisle
Kilgo as instructor in English (1908-10), and in 1910 he was
promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor of English Literature, serving until 1913. Thus, he
182 North Carolina Annual Conference
was a staff member at the time of the famous Bassett Case and Kilgo's eloquent defense of
academic freedom.
Such, in barest outline, are the academic beginnings of the professor who was to play a large
and influential role in the formative years of Trinity College and Duke University and whose
memoirs of the period, published in 1 954 under the title / Remember (Seeman, Durham, N.C.),
will remain an intimately colorful account of the era from Kilgo, through W. P. Few, to the
maturation of Duke University in the fifties.
Yet Hersey Spence was ambidextrous and quite as much a churchman and minister as an
academic. Indeed, from the year he became a member of McBryde's Methodist Church, near
South Mills in 1895, he mated Christian commitment with aspiring learning and helped to
formulate the presiding motto of Duke University. In 1902 he was licensed as a local preacher,
and preached; and did so weekly over the next sixty years.
Coincident with the year of his graduation from college, he was admitted to membership in
the North Carolina Annual Conference (1907). During the same year he studied for his Master's
degree he was regularly appointed pastor of Epworth Church, Raleigh (1907-08). Helpfully to
him, he became minister-in-charge at Mangum Street, Durham (now Calvary United Methodist
Church) for the years 1908-10 and while instructor at Trinity College. As assistant professor
(1910-13), he was without appointment. Apparently, having resigned his teaching duties at
Trinity, in the years 1913-16 he was appointed minister of Steele Street Methodist Church,
Sanford, N.C. During the war years 1916-18, Hersey Spence served as Executive Secretary of
the Board of Education of the North Carolina Conference and acquired an interest and compe-
tence which was to become the focus of his academic contribution of subsequent years. For
twenty-five of thirty-five years membership on the Board, he served as chairman and helped to
lay foundations for the educational concerns that have since characterized Conference planning
and effort.
In 1918, by invitation of William Preston Few, Spence accepted reappointment to Trinity
College as Professor of Religious Education and Biblical Literature. With the establishment of
Duke University by the Indenture of James B. Duke, he was appointed to the faculty of the
recently opened Divinity School (1926) in the year 1928 as Professor of Religious Education.
Thereafter, he served in that position until his retirement, with the lasting esteem of colleagues,
in June of 1952 and in the deanship of James Cannon III. So he completed thirty-nine years as
beloved teacher in Trinity College and Duke University.
Upon retirement Dr. and Mrs. Spence were actively engaged in the summer ministry of the
Blowing Rock Methodist Church and continued in that ministry throughout the fifties. In the
early sixties their home on Hope Valley Road, Durham, was destroyed by fire. They took up
residence at the new Methodist Retirement Home where Dr. Spence informally continued his
ministry of unfailing cheer until his death September 30, 1973. A few days later, Mrs. Spence,
who for many months had been in poor health, followed her husband to "the Land that is
fairer than day." Dr. Spence had been wedded to Bessie Octavia Whitted of Durham, N.C,
October 4, 1913, as he assumed his Sanford ministry. Mrs. Spence was an alumna of Trinity
College and held three degrees from Trinity and Duke, including a B.D. from the Divinity
School. For many years she was a teacher in the Department of Religion of Duke University
and retired in 1952 with her husband. The Spences had no children save the legion of young
lives their teaching had touched. During his academic career Dr. Spence received two honorary
degrees, from Asbury and from High Point College in deserved recognition of the vast range of
his influence as a Christian writer and teacher.
Such in briefest sketch is the bare pattern of an ebullient Christian and dedicated life. Rare
was Dr. Spence 's joyous consciousness of the goodness of God and of God's creation into the
riches of which he probed all his lifelong with thanksgiving. Above all, perhaps, he was known
for his compassion-a mindfulness of the needs but, also, of the worth of others. For him life
was God's gift for worshipful celebration.
Finally, "the memory of the righteous is blessed."
And so is the recollection of his life-long companion Bessie Whitted Spence: retired teacher
of religion in Trinity College, gracious homemaker, and friend of hundreds. Solicitous always,
Dr. Spence watched her slow decline and, anticipating the end, wrote this sonnet last spring and
gave me a final corrected copy.

At Parting
So you must go! What fit phrase can I use
At parting? Since such loveliness I lose.
I cannot, will not, speak the word farewell;
Tis loveless, lifeless as funeral knell,
Nor aurevoir, nor yet auf Widershehen
Since your fair face I shall not see again.
Good bye means God be with you, 'tis a prayer
Consigning you to heaven's unfailing care.
Dear One, God shield you from the shades of night,
Temper day's glare lest it should prove too bright;
Make gains and losses blend in your release;
Lead you in paths of everlasting peace.
That is my prayer, Dear Heart, and that is why
I whisper as we part, Sweet Girl, Good bye.

ROLAND STANLEY MURPHY
1935-1974
Roland Stanley Murphy was born October 20, 1935, in Pitt County. He is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Huldah Irene Grant Murphy, and a son, Scott, of the home.
Brother Murphy died January 29, 1974, in a Kinston hospital, at the age of 38. Funeral
services were conducted by the writer, assisted by The Reverend D. W. Charlton, a former
pastor who had had much influence on Brother Murphy's call
to the ministry. Interment was in the cemetery of his home
town of Farmville.
The large funeral attendance attested the esteem with
which he was held.
Although he lived only 38 years and had only 42 months
in the ministry, he lived a full and witnessing life. His minis-
try was about the length of our Lord's earthly ministry.
Brother Murphy received his first appointment in 1970
and was appointed to the Kinston Circuit which he served
faithfully and effectively for three years. At the time of sud-
den and untimely death, he was in his first year as pastor of
the Vanceboro Circuit.
Before Brother Murphy answered the call to the ministry
he had had an outstanding experience and training as a sales-
man. He gave up business and home to preach Christ and the
Gospel and win souls. He loved being a preacher, a proclaimer
of Christ and the Gospel. He was an articulate preacher. He
was a good pastor. His people responded to his dedicated life
and leadership.
There is nothing so warm and thrilling as a heart committed to Jesus Christ as one's personal
Saviour and Lord. Roland was a committed man. He knew the joy of the "great salvation." He
has gone to be with the Lord he loved. Many people are better and the world is better because
he lived and served. We rise up to call him blessed. We ask God's continued presence and
blessings to be with his family.

HORACE GREELY RIDAUGHT
1903-1974
Horace Greely Ridaught ended his earthly ministry to God and his people by the angel of
God "whose I am, and who I served". It was in such faith and spirit that served his people.
Horace was born in Putnam County, Johnson, Florida, March 18,1 903. His father was John
Ridaught, his mother Tabitha Elizabeth Stokes Ridaught. He has three brothers deceased and
one living in Palatka, Florida.
At the age of eleven years he knew he wanted to be a
^^^^^^ minister, a servant for God. At the age of sixteen he was
£2 fttfc officiating in several Baptist churches. He was pastor of the
f Orange Springs, Florida Baptist church. A hint as to how he
/ ^_ jPL qualified for this church may be found in one of the interest-
•3^^ /ySP— " jng anecdotes in his book, Hell's Branch Office, which tells
how he won a coveted prize of a Bible and a twenty dollar
gold piece in Sunday School at a local Presbyterian church,
when he was twelve years old, by memorizing the twenty-
^^l^^k ^jf^^k ^^ eight page Catechism in five hours. As a result, he received
Jm ^m 3K ^H letters of commendation from all over the South and a schol-
^H ^m jf^| arship which enabled him to go to college.
^M ^B jB^I Horace attended the public schools of the County and
I H Norman Park Junior College, graduating in 1925, after which
■ "j| he attended Mercer Univeristy, also the University of Gaines-
fyyjj ville, Florida and Duke University. On finishing his schooling
^^^™ ^^^»— i^^^^™ at \orman Junior College and Mercer University, his first job
was teaching grades one through eight at Turner Farm, Citra,
Florida for two years.
In 1941 he bought eight acres of land at Citra, Florida which he increased to 185 acres. In
1943 he married Addie Jessie Dixon, and in 1944-1945 he built his ranch style home at Citra,
Florida. He was a man of many talents. He was a cattleman, a vegetable farmer, a salesman, a
meat cutter, a teacher, and minister, the last two being what he loved.
In 1949 and 1950 he was employed by Bankers Life & Casualty Company and led the state
in the sale of Health & Accident Insurance.
In December 1962, Horace, his wife and daughter (now Mrs. Virginia Ridaught Strickland)
united with the Methodist church in Pembroke. In March of 1963 he and his family moved to
Clinton. The Mission Board purchased five acres of land on Highway 421 and soon a Mission
church was erected where he served up until his death, February 1, 1974. All who knew Horace
will long remember his love for others and especially his love for the Church. His quick wit
made it a joy to be in his presence. His faith, encouraging words and persistent love and trust in
humanity was monumental. Yet, the simplicity of his trust and faith in God was almost mystic.
"He lived more in his seventy years than many will live in one hundred years." It would be
impossible to evaluate his life or to estimate his influence for good or to measure the help he
furnished friends, his family, and the Church.
He is survived by his wife Addie Dixon Ridaught, one daughter, Virginia Ridaught Strick-
land, and one grandson.
We shall miss Horace very much, but let us not mourn too deeply, rather let us give thanks
to God for Horace and his good work: for his love and guidance and the fellowship he shared
with his church and fellowman.
During his illness he fought bravely and cheerfully. He never lost his faith or hope and his
great desire to live until December, 1974, when he would have given the Lord 55 years of
service, the past eleven years being with the Methodist Church.
The funeral service was conducted by pastors and long time friends, Robert Mangum of
Pembroke and Mike Cummings of Clinton. He was buried in New Bethel Church Memorial
Gardens.

ERNEST CREASY DURHAM
1888-1974
Brother Ernest Creasy Durham was born June 2, 1888 Ihe on of Isaac W and Sarah
Durham of Chatham County, N.C. Quite early in life he felt his hea.. strangely warmed through
a call to the ministry. He answered the call by attending Trinity Col ege where he graduated in
1914. On July 23 of that year he married Roberta Womble of Lee County. They were privi-
' ,eged to share a wonderful companionship for the next sixty
years,
^^p^ Their ministry during the next thirty years was shared
J^^\ ™th the people of the following charges: Mebane, Vande-
A mere, Stonewall, Goldsboro, Vanceboro, Cedar Grove,
^Mfe ^ ' ' Burlington. Clinton, Warrenton, Carthage, Creedmoor, Fu-
quay and Tarboro. During this ministry four children came to
^& ^__ share and bless their home. First, there was Ralph Kilgo, who
^^^tT~,v^ shared with them tor only 17 months. Dwight Womble was
^Jt^T ^fcj the second son> n°w employed by DuPont in Wilmington,
jtflw A Delaware. Daughters sunning are Mrs. Edwin Green (Ruth
^k ■▲ ^L Arden) of Raleigh; and Mrs. Martin Lyles (Nell Marie) of
jfe& BJBn Rocky Mount- In 1944- after a long illness, Brother Durham
HO decided to retire, and they moved to 1316 Mordecai Drive
Raleigh, N.C.
For many years he had been a prolific writer and his
^^^^^^^^^^^^^B poems had appeared in the News And Observer, the Raleigh
Times and the Christian Advocate. In 1948 he compiled
many of his best known poems in a volume titled Poems Of
A Lifetime. Bishop W. W. Peele wrote in the "Words Of Introduction": "I have known Ernest
C. Durham through the years and have been greatly impressed with the perfect blending of his
warm heart and intellectual insight, two qualifications of a real poet." Brother Durham also
found time to serve as Chaplain of the Senate of the North Carolina Legislature for 16 years. He
was a gifted artist and shared his talents with many people.
Brother Durham and the writer lived in the same block of Mordecai Drive, and we saw each
other almost daily. He preached his last sermon in Trinity United Methodist Church on June 2,
1968, his eightieth birthday. Because of an injury, suffered in a fall, he and Mrs. Durham sold
their home and moved to the Kinton Rest Home in Fuquay-Varina in February, 1973. He was a
patient at Wake Memorial Hospital in Raleigh when he quietly passed away on Sunday Febru-
ary 3, 1974. #
Funeral Services were held at Trinity United Methodist Church at 10 o'clock on Tuesday
February 5th with the Reverend Jack Page, the Reverend Claude Chaffin, the Reverend Jesse
Bone and the Reverend John R. Poe conducting the service. Interment was in Montlawn
Memorial Park in Raleigh. From the closing poem in his book we quote:
Sunset! and all across the west
Are broken clouds and light;
The stroms are gone, and now comes rest;
I do not fear the night.
Tis not the end of perfect day:
Storms came and brought me fear;
But in the dark I learned to pray,
And found the Father near.
And now that all life's storms have passed.
And I see sunset's glow,
I've found a perfect peace at last;
I'm not afraid to go.

ETHERIDGE MERRELL RHINER
1922-1974
It seems significant that on Valentine's Day, February 14. 1954, Etheridge Merrell Rhiner \
should hear and heed God's call to the ministry and "give heart and mind and soul and strength !
to serve the King of kings." There is little doubt that his heart, kept pliable by the beautiful l
influence of his dedicated Christian mother, had for some time struggled over the tender,
persistent call of God. But on Valentine's Day, as he assisted j
other Christian laymen in a special service of worship, the call I
was again heard and the decision was made. Though Ethe- j
ridge was already thirty-one years old, the decision to be-
come a preacher of the Gospel was firm because the calling
was sure. Certainly these lines from Gerhard Tersteegen, the
great hymn-writer of the Reformed Church in Germany, are
appropriate in his memoirs:
"God calling yet! Shall 1 not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise.
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can 1 delay0
God calling yet! I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell, from thee I part;
The voice oi God hath reached my heart."
Etheridge Merrell Rhiner was born in Godwin. North Carolina, December 6, 1922. Before
completing high school, he was encouraged and persuaded by his ability, interest, and friends to
pursue a career in baseball and for several years played in the semi-pro leagues. Prior to entering
the ministry he was employed by Sears, Roebuck and Company.
On October 7. 1945, he was married to Verna Turlington of Coats, North Carolina, and to
this happy union were born two sons: Wayne and Gregory, and one daughter: Brenda. Brother
Rhiner was a good and devoted husband and father and consequently the family developed and
possessed a deep and abiding love.
At the age of thirty-two, Etheridge resumed studies to complete the requirements for a high
school diploma and during the period of the next nine years, while supporting a wife and three
children, received the A. A. degree from Campbell College, graduated from Atlantic Christian
College with an A.B. degree and from Duke University Divinity School with a B.D. degree.
Etheridge grew up in the Baptist Church and served three pastorates in that denomination
before coming to The Methodist Church in 1960. He was admitted on trial in the North
Carolina Conference in 1960 and ordained a deacon. Three years later he was ordained an elder.
His first appointment, while attending Duke Divinity School, was City Road at Henderson.
Thereafter he served as pastor of the following Charges: Princeton, Cokesbury at Raleigh,
Hawkins-Tabor, and lour Oaks.
Brother Rhiner. in his fourth year at Four Oaks, suffered a severe heart attack at his home
on Christmas Eve. 1973. After several weeks of hospitaliztion and several more weeks of
convalescence at home, under the loving care of his faithful and devoted wife, he was permitted
to preach again on March 17. 1974. On Saturday afternoon, March 23, as he and Verna were
about to take one of their regular afternoon strolls, his weakened heart was struck again and he
died before reaching the Johnston Memorial Hospital at Smithfield.
Funeral services were conducted on Monday, March 25, 1974, from the Four Oaks United
Methodist Church by his District Superintendent, Reverend Albert F. Fisher. Burial was in The
Devotional Gardens at Dunn, North Carolina.
In addition to his wife and three children, he is survived by one sister, Mrs. Randall Baker of
Baltimore, Maryland; one brother, Hugh S. Rhiner of Godwin, North Carolina; his mother, Mrs.
Estalene Cook Rhiner of Godwin, North Carolina; and his father, Weldon Rhiner of Wachula,
Florida.
Brother Rhiner was a good and faithful minister of the gospel of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

every aspect of his ministry- The conclusion of his earthly life and ministry at this Lenten
Season prompts the use of a stanza from one of the great poems by William C. Doane:
"(His) Lent is over, and (his) Easter won,
Waiting till over paradise the sun
Shall rise in majesty, and life begun
Shall grow in glory, as the perfect day
Moves on, to hold its endless, deathless sway."

MACK DONALD .MCLAMB
1886-1974
Reverend M.D. McLamb was horn September 1 , I KK6 in Brunswick County, North Carolina.
Ik- was the son of Lewis Joseph McLamb and Mary Katherine Stanley McLamb.
In his earl> years he was .i school teacher. In 1920 he entered the Methodist ministry at
Kitty Hawk, N.C. He served many pastorates in I astern North Carolina. Alter retiring from the
ministry in 1960 from churches in Robbins, N.C, he served
two years at Community Church in Rockingham. He was
married to Tallin Galloway in his early ministry, and to this
union was born one son. Edwin 1). McLamb who survives. He
was married to Mrs. Katie Henry McLamb in 1962, and she
gave him her constant care and attention until his death in
Lee County Hospital in Sanford, N.C. April 12, 1974.
His funeral was conducted from Last Rockingham United
Methodist Church on taster afternoon, April 14, by The Rev-
erend Dr. J.V. Early, Superintendent of the Rockingham Dis-
trict, and the writer o( this memoir. I served as his pastor for
almost seven years.
Brother McLamb was a gentle man and "the law of kind-
ness was in his mouth." He was a great supporter of his
pastors after his retirement. Every retired minister could take
a leaf from Brother McLamb's book; he never interfered in
any way with the work in this pastorate where he lived,
although he had served here once for four years as its pastor.
He only knew how to give praise and encouragement to his
pastor.
He was a faithful minister of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for more than
43 years. He was well-loved by the people that he served. He served one charge for four years,
went to another for one year and then was reassigned to that same charge for another four
years. He was a life-long student of the Bible, and he read the Bible through twice in the last
year of his life. Dr. Larly read his favorite Scripture from Isaiah 40 in the funeral service. The
last verse in that chapter was his motto: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint." Truly he waited upon the Lord until his strength had utterly failed.
God satisfied him, who loved life so well, with a long and fruitful life. He does now rest from
his labors, and his works do follow him.
"And friends, dear friend, - when it shall be
That this low breath is gone from me,
And round my bier ye come to weep.
Let One, most loving of ye all,
Say, 'Not a tear must o'er him fall!
He giveth his beloved, sleep.' " - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

MRS. HILDA AMICK WHITEHEAD
1909-1973
Hilda Amick Whitehead, daughter of Thomas Adolphus Amick and the late Maude Lednum
Amick, was born January 22, 1909 in Burlington, North Carolina. After completing her high
school education in the town of her birth she entered High Point College from which she
received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1930.
During her college days she met Talton Johnson White-
head, a young minister in the Methodist Protestant Church
whom she married in 1 934. For nearly 40 years she lived as a
devoted wife and was a tireless servant of her Heavenly
Father and His church, loyal to all good causes as a pastor's
wife and loved companion. During the first six years of their
life together they served the following Methodist Protestant
Charges: West End, Mount Hermon, and Christ Church in
Henderson. After the union of the three branches of Method-
ism in 1939 they served: North Gates, Fayetteville Circuit,
Aberdeen-Vass, Carr Church in Durham, First Church in
Graham, First Church in Washington, Whiteville,and Faith
Church in Burlington.
Wherever they went Hilda was conspicuous by the quiet,
unassuming, selfless service she rendered to those who needed
her most. Never was there the slightest evidence of a desire to
receive credit for her ministry, but always the consuming
desire for others to know that there was one nearby who
cared. She was a friend to all and was loved by all who knew
her.
Though Hilda knew no bounds as she reached out in her thoughtfulness of others, those who
were near and dear to her were always the recipients of her deepest concern. Her companion,
her son, her father, all of her home looked forward to her daily ministry in which she cared for
the spiritual as well as the physical. She was a good witness for her Christ in her home, her
church, and her community. She loved people and they loved her.
Death came to Hilda Whitehead in Memorial Hospital, Burlington, North Carolina on July
27, 1973. She is survived by her husband, The Reverend T. J. Whitehead; her son, Edwin H.
Whitehead; her father, T. A. Amick; and one brother, T. Lednum Amick.
A memorial service was held in Faith United Methodist Church, Burlington on Sunday
afternoon, July 29, 1973 by her pastor, The Reverend C. F. Hirschi, assisted by N. W. Grant.
Interment was in the cemetery of Center United Methodist Church of Alamance County.

MRS. CLARA POWELL LEE
1895-1973
Clara Morton Powell Lee was born on August 5, 1895, in Warren County, North Carolina,
the daughter of Clara Morton Bobbitt and Thomas Edward Powell.
She received her elementary and high school education in Warren County schools, graduat-
ing from Macon High School in 1912. Following this, she taught for a year, then went on to!
Woman's College, now the University of North Carolina at!
Greensboro; there in 1917, she gained her Bachelor of Arts!
degree with honors, having carried a double major in French-
and English and a minor in Latin.
While serving as the principal of the high school in Pol-:
locksville. North Carolina, she met Thomas Williams Lee, the]
Methodist minister in the adjoining town, whose wife had
died some time before. She went on for a year of study at'
Louisville Theological Seminary; and then in August, 1 922,'!
\+m**~ they were married in Macon Methodist Church. In the year*
^j^ ^^ immediately following marriage, she taught school during the
^^-rrflfffj iA^^^^, winters and continued her studies at Duke University during
^M ^Jj the summers. There, working under Dr. Hersey E. Spence,
JJ)J she received her Master of Arts degree in Religious Education
M in 1925.
I MA Throughout the years, conference assignments carried the
i JHj family from Rose Hill to Williamston, Trenton, Windsor, Gar-
W^^^m. ^^^^^^^^B ian(j Roxboro, Middleburg, and Efland. Clara Lee's family
was her great joy; her deep sorrow was the loss of two daugh-
ters in infancy. She was never too busy to listen to her children, never too tired to give them
encouragement and support. In her years of love and devotion to them, she communicated a
compassion, a high sense of personal integrity, and a striving for mental spiritual understanding
that influenced and enhanced their lives.
Throughout the years, wherever she lived her time was filled with dedicated service to the
community, the school, and the church. In 1925, while at Rose Hill, she served as the first
woman mayor in the United States.
She had a remarkable facility for teaching. Her tireless devotion and attention to detail
served her well, as she counseled her students, produced junior and senior plays, coached debate
teams and public speaking contests, and directed graduation exercises. Her ability to maintain
an orderly and motivated classroom won her the love and admiration of her students. Indeed, as
the family moved from one place to another, those whom she had taught would often write or
visit, recounting how she had inspired them and influenced their lives.
Throughout her active life, she organized and took part in the Woman's Society of Christian
Service, led churchwide study courses, played the piano where needed, taught Sunday School
and Vacation Church School, worked with young people in the Methodist Youth Fellowship,
and was active in prayer groups, spiritual life work, and Camps Farthest Out.
As a hobby, she liked to write, and from time to time had poems and stories in papers and
magazines. She published several of her plays, which she often put on in communities where the
family lived, to raise money for the school or church. She had some talent in cooking and
sewing, and over the years was always willing to contribute these abilities in community
endeavors of various kinds.
Upon her husband's retirement in 1948, the family moved to Durham, where they became
members of Duke Memorial Methodist Church. It was while she was W.S.C.S. Secretary of
Christian Social Concerns for the Durham District in 1954-1956, that she experienced the onset
of complications from diabetes, from which she had suffered for over twenty-five years.
Over the next years her health gradually declined and finally, eight years after her husband's
death, she became a member of The Methodist Retirement Home in Durham, in September of
1971. There, though weak, she was largely able to be up and about until one week before her
death. Spiritually aware to the end, two of her favorite Bible passages were John 14 and Psalm

91. These she asked to be read to her on the last day of her life. Having attained the age of
seventy-eight years, she died on September 17, 1973, and was buried from Duke Memorial
Methodist Church. Charles S. Hubbard, pastor of the church, conducted the funeral service,
assisted by LaFon C. Vereen who had been her father's last pastor, and William M. Jeffries, her
son-in-law. She was buried in Maplewood Cemetery in Durham.
She is survived by three daughters, Clara Elizabeth Lee (Mrs. John) Harvey, Jr., of Wilming-
ton, Delaware; Josephine Anne Lee (Mrs. William M.) Jeffries, of Greensboro, North Carolina;
Carolyn Powell Lee (Mrs. Eugene G.) Wollaston, of Chicago, Illinois; one stepdaughter, Susie

grandsons; two stepgrandsons; two sisters, Mary Powell Brantley and Caroline Powell, of Elon
College; and her brother. Dr. Thomas Edward Powell, Jr., of Burlington.

MRS. BESSIE OCTAVIA WHITTED SPENCE
1885-1973
Mrs. Bessie Octavia Whitted Spence, daughter of Julius Monroe Whitted and Ella Howerton
Whitted, was born January 26, 1885, in Durham, North Carolina. She was educated in the
public schools of Durham and received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Trinity College.
Following her graduation she taught in Durham High School and served as Dean of Girls.
During this time she met, and came to love, Hersey Everett
Spence, a promising young assistant professor of English at
Trinity College. But God was calling Hersey Spence to His
service. So Bessie married the young preacher-professor on
October 8, 1913, and they went to Sanford where her hus-
band served as pastor of Steele Street Church until 1916.
Believing Christian Education was to be their true calling,
the young couple moved back to Durham, and Hersey Spence
served as Executive Secretary of the Sunday School Board of
the North Carolina Conference for several years. But both
felt the need of more education, so they went together to the
University of Chicago. There, Bessie Spence earned her Bach-
elor of Divinity degree. They returned to Durham-it was to
be home the rest of their lives-and to the new Duke Univer-
sity where her husband was to become a distinguished profes-
sor in the Divinity School, and where Bessie Spence was to
earn a Master's degree in Biblical Literature and become as-
sistant professor in the same University.
Bessie Spence was a great woman-scholar in her genera-
tion. Her husband wrote inspired prose and poetry. She lovingly edited every line he published.
While he gained renown as teacher of the Men's Bible Class of Duke Memorial Methodist
Church, she gained equal stature as a great teacher of children in the same Church.
Bessie Spence possessed many talents. She was an accomplished artist and pianist, and was a
gourmet cook. But her greatest attribute was her ability to love. Next to her Christian faith she
loved and supported her husband. Her first thoughts and efforts were always directed toward
him and his happiness. And his love for her was just as complete. Together, they loved and
influenced hundreds to find the peace and assurance only God can give to those who love Him
and each other. The world is a better place because Bessie Spence has lived in it. There are
many of us who shall always call her blessed.
Shortly after the death of her beloved husband, Bessie Spence peacefully died October 7,
1973 in the Methodist Retirement Home in Durham. Her body rests in the old section of
Maplewood Cemetery. Her spirit lives!

MRS. EMMA WOODS NICKS
1876-1974
When I first met Mother Nicks, she was the Durham district secretary of spiritual life for the
Woman's Society of Christian Service and she was teaching a Sunday school class at Hills-
borough Methodist Church. She was also serving as a "hearer" for some of the children of the
church as they memorized passages from the Bible. This busy life of service to others for the
glory of Jesus Christ was the story of her life.
The ninety-seven years on this earth began for Emma Cur-
rie Woods Nicks on September 20, 1876, in Orange County j
and ended in the same county on January 2, 1974. Having
been given the middle name, Currie, in honor of a minister \
who was serving Little River Presbyterian Church, Emma .
Nicks was one of eight children born to Emeline Hall and ;
William Doak Woods, faithful members of this congregation. ;
One sister, Mrs. Cora Woods McKay, a devoted member of |
Mount Sylvan United Methodist Church, survives.
The Christian heritage that began here was continued in
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, when Emma felt j
God's call to give her life as a devoted wife and helpmate to j
the Reverend Samuel Freeman Nicks on December 24, 1903.
Sam and Emma had both been students at Caldwell Institute I
aV i^%jR and when Sam entered Trinity College, Emma entered the
. AteF* x tf/*4K2 Southern Conservatory of Music, and their vow to each other |
JU&> ' ' wn made on April 25, 1900, provided them with the inspiration
they needed to continue their education before marriage.
Emma taught in the North Carolina public schools system while waiting patiently for Sam to
finish his education.
Sam and Emma served 42 years within the bounds of the Durham district of The North j
Carolina Conference, having lived in nine parsonages and having made lifetime friends every- \
where they went. Sam was known as a beloved builder of rural churches. The charges they j
served included Burlington Circuit, Pelham-Shady Grove, Milton, Yanceyville, Leasburg, Hills-
borough, Brooksdale, Cedar Grove, and Hillsborough again.
Six children were born to this union, four of whom are surviving. The two children, who
preceded them in death were S. F. Nicks, Jr., and Mariana Nicks Wilson. Those surviving are
John R. Nicks, Graham; Stella Nicks Bartlett, Hillsborough; Kathrine Nicks McDade, Cedar
Grove; and the Reverend Robert L. Nicks, Beaufort. Also surviving are nine grandchildren and
fifteen great grandchildren.
Not only were Emma and Sam faithful leaders of their "people" and the whole community
wherever they lived, but they worked together in making sacrifices that their children could
also be leaders. All six children received training in schools of higher education, four having
been graduated from Duke University. One son, Robert, is now serving the North Carolina
Conference.
Mother Nicks will be remembered by all who knew her for her great strength of Christian
character and her dependence upon the teachings of the Bible. Even until her death she loved to
hear her children read the Bible to her, and she rejoiced in hearing her favorite hymns.
Before a large crowd of family and friends, her funeral service was conducted at Cedar Grove
United Methodist Church by her pastor, the Reverend Herman N. Ward, at 11:00 A.M. on
Friday, January 4. Her grandsons carried her body to its final resting place, while God carried
her beautiful spirit to be with Him forever. As Mr. Ward said, it was "only natural for Mrs.
Nicks to go home after she has journeyed toward it for 97 years." It also seems only natural
that memorial gifts were designated for the Methodist Home for Children, since she was a lover
of all children. We rejoice in her victory.

MRS. HATTIE FLORENCE GIBSON MCLEOD
1880-1974
193
Mrs. Hattie Florence Gibson McLeod, daughter of the late Charles and Mahalia Gibson was
born in Richmond County, North Carolina. She attended the public schools of Richmond
County. At an early age she professed faith in Christ and united with the Beaver Dam Methodist
Episcopal Church.
She was united in holy wedlock with the Reverend Ed-
ward M. McLeod who preceded her in death three years ago.
To this union one daughter was born. As a minister's wife,
Mrs. McLeod spent most of her life in the North Carolina
Conference. She was a great help to her husband in his work
for she was diplomatic, genteel, and always interested in help-
ing him to advance the Kingdom of God.
Capable of instant affection for all with whom she came
into contact, Mrs. McLeod was one of the old school of
genuine graciousness and selflessness that made one happy to
be in her presence. Sparkling and effervescent, a delight and a
joy, devoted and selfless, tenacious and constant, loving and
beloved; these are the qualities that come to mind as I think
of Mrs. McLeod.
January 11, 1974, was home-going day for Mrs. Hattie.
After a few days of sickness, she slipped away to be with her
Lord and loved ones who had gone before.
She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Edna Gleaves, of the
home, four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and a
company of relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the Cool Springs United Methodist Church, with the
pastor, The Reverend W. F. Elliott, officiating; S. L. Townsend brought the sermon. She was
laid to rest in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Laurinburg, North Carolina.

MRS. ELIZABETH LASSITER BROOKSHIRE HARRIS
1902-1974
Mrs. Elizabeth Lassiter Brookshire Harris, the daughter of Charles E. and Florence Brook-
shire, was born February 1, 1902, in the Charles E. Brookshire residence near Pekin, Mont-
gomery County, North Carolina. From childhood she was blessed by the influence of a happy
Christian home and church-going parents. In her early youth she became active in the program
of her church and school.
After her graduation from Mt. Gilead High School in
1922, she began to prepare herself for a life of service. She
attended Guilford College one year and taught next year in
The Pee Dee Consolidated School near her home. Then she
made a decision that made her life a blessing for years to
come. On June 30, 1924, Elizabeth Brookshire was united in
Holy Matrimony to Loy Vernon Harris, a young Methodist
minister, starting his first pastorate that year. For seventeen
years this young couple brought renewed hope and strength
to every congregation on the Charges to which they were
appointed by the North Carolina Methodist Conference-
seven of them: Webb Avenue, Burlington Circuit, Scotland
Neck, High Point, Conway, Ahoskie and Whiteville. More-
over, the seven parsonages in which they lived for seventeen
years became ever filled with happiness as the laughter of
their children: Vernon, Jerry, Marvin, Harold, and Betty
Carol, filled the home.
Mr. Harris, having been a member of the Reserve Chap-
lain's Commission for several years, was called in 1942 to serve as a Chaplain with the U.S.
Army overseas during World War II. He returned home in the sun mer of 1945 apparently in
good health; yet he died unexpectedly June 13, 1946, after suffering a heart attack about 1 :30
that afternoon which some doctors thought had developed from the results of a prolonged
attack of pneumonia he suffered while in England in 1944. Before going overseas in 1942 Mr.
Harris made ample provision for a house for his family in Mt. Gilead, their home community, so
that the family could be among close friends and relatives during his absence. That was her
home for the rest of her life.
After the death of Mr. Harris, Mrs. Harris, fortified by courage, faith, and love, based upon
the promises o\ her comforting Lord, did a marvelous work in rebuilding a happy home for her
family. With well-made plans she provided for the needs of her family. She supervised the
education of all her children to the extent that she was glad to do part-time work to supple-
ment her income when needed at intervals between 1945-1955, until the boys were old enough
to secure employment. Along with all this she found time to do much work for her church and
community. Her interest in others is revealed in the amount of volunteer work she did through
the Mothers' Club, Women's Society of Christian Service, Red Cross, Hospital Aid, and Church
and Sunday School work.
Her funeral was held in The Mt. Gilead Methodist Church, conducted by the pastor, The
Rev. Lawrence E. Lugar. assisted by The Rev. S. D. McMillian and The Rev. E. C. Crawford.
She was buried in The Mt. Gilead Cemetery by the side of her husband. The Rev. L. V. Harris.
Written words are empty compared to the words she spoke to us as we talked with her along
the way. For several weeks she had checked in and out of several hospitals, ready to co-operate
with all the power that moves toward life more abundant. On January 29, 1974, she died in
Montgomery County Hospital. Or shall we say she was "checked out" to enter a better life
beyond? This was the faith by which she lived; and this is the faith that will bring hope and
comfort to those that remain.
"Let us think of her not as cold beneath the grass,
Nor shut within the Tomb;
But rather living in her Father's house,
In a larger and brighter room"

MRS. KATRINA KERN ORMOND
1884-1974
Katrina Kern Ormond was born December 26, 1884, in Alexandria, Virginia, the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. John Adam Kern. From the time of her birth she was joyfully Methodist. She
inherited a tradition of a grandfather, Dr. A. A. Eskridge, and a father who were Methodist
ministers. She grew up with a brother, Paul B. Kern, who became a Bishop in the Methodist
Church. She married Jessie Marvin Ormond, a Methodist minister. They had one son, John Kern
Ormond, who is a Methodist minister and one of their four daughters married a Methodist
minister, EUot Wannamaker Hardin. Two of their seventeen grandchildren, John K. Ormond, Jr.
and E. W. Hardin, Jr., have become Methodist ministers and with nine great-grandchildren
already on the scene, the line may yet be incomplete.
Born in Virginia, where she attended Ashland, Virginia schools and graduated from Ran-
dolph Macon Women's College, in Lynchburg, Virginia, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee with
her family while her father was at Vanderbilt University. It was there that she met and married
Jessie Marvin Ormond, a young divinity studi t from rural Green County, North Carolina. She
returned with him to North Carolina where they shared most of their ministry together in the
North Carolina Conference, until his death in 1954. They are survived by five children: Rev. J.
Kern Ormond, now of Elizabeth City, Mrs. Janet Lide of Winston Salem, Mrs. Margaret Hardin
of Columbia, South Carolina, Mrs. Jessie Pyne of Burlington, and Mrs. Elizabeth Byrum of
Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Her life always centered on people and much of her life centered on the Church, with its
joys, its fellowship and its love and so it was natural that with her death she would bring her
people together-her family and her friends-to Lakewood United Methodist Church, where she
had shared in Christian community for some thirty years, for a time of celebration and thanks-
giving.
Still, Katrina Kern Ormond was more than a Methodist and she was more than a relative of
Methodist ministers. She was "my darling daughter," "Kate," "Katrina," "Mother," "Mrs.
Ormond," "Grandmother," "Grannie." She was friend and family and beloved. She was a
person who cared and loved and gave of herself, celebrating the gift of life until she was no
longer able either to give or to joyfully receive and then she was ready to rest. She died on
February 14, 1974 after a brief illness.
She left a heritage of joy and faith and love.

MRS. EDNA LAWS PETTEWAY
1918-1974
Edna Laws Petteway was born on the 19th day of October 1918, the daughter of Henry Lee
and Lucie Tilley Laws in Rougemont, North Carolina. She was educated in the schools of
Durham County and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. For a time, she taught in
the public schools of Pitt and Durham Counties.
On Christmas Eve of 1944, Edna was married to Warren
Bernard Petteway. Into the family was born one son, Warren
Bernard Petteway, Junior. On the 21st of February 1974 in
Wilson Memorial Hospital, Wilson, she claimed Christ's prom-
ise of eternal life. Funeral services were conducted at First
Church, Wilson by Linwood E. Blackburn and Paul Carruth.
Burial was in Maplewood Cemetery, Durham.
These words, bare though they seem, will perhaps suffice
as boundary marks for the life of this good and generous
person. But more, much more, needs to be said if we are to
tell of the richness and beauty of her life. For Edna was
surely a person of remarkable gifts and talents. She had the
ability to create an atmosphere of creativity and expectancy
in areas where she was involved, an ability that brought out
the best in other people. She gave herself with devotion and
skill to her family and the Church. Her husband and son
looked to her as a tower of strength. Edna's service to the
Church included faithful work in teaching in the Church
School and in various capacities in the United Methodist
Women.
Her personal magnetism attracted a host of friends. Their deep concern and appreciation for
her was made evident in many ways. The crowded church at the time of the funeral and the
throng of mourners who covered the hillside at the burial can only suggest the void left in many
a life by her passing.
We address that seeming emptiness with those mighty words which begin the Apostle's
Creed: "I believe in God the Father Almighty." We believe that they speak to life's mysteries
and distresses. We pronounce them in the hope that they point to the Reality that will translate
present sorrow into ultimate joy and reunion. We can bear with sore distress of this time
because borne out of our trust in the divine Father, we sense that those who await us on the
other side are very close indeed.

1 98 North Carolina Annual Conference
GROUP A: AGENCY ANNUAL REPORTS FOR 1973-1974
THE COMMITTEE ON CHURCH ARCHITECTURE
The Committee on Church Architecture calls attention to the fact that building needs in order to
carry out the mission of the Church are just as great at this time as they have ever been. Because of
increased costs and changing conditions, it is much more important for a congregation to make
long-range plans both for building and for financing. Counseling services provided by conference
agencies and by professional architects are available to local congregations on invitation through the
district superintendent.
During the seven months' period the Conference Committee has been involved in the following:
1. The fall meetingheldin Raleigh on December 3, 1973, at which time Mr. John S. MacRae, III,
an architect from Greensboro, presented an illustrated lecture on designing churches. He used two
churches in particular to illustrate the procedures for developing church programs and designing
space to carry out the programs.
2. A cooperative venture with the Western North Carolina Conference Committee, The J. M.
Ormond Center, and The Duke Endowment Office of Rural Church Affairs in the development of
Guidelines. A Building Project for a United Methodist Church. These guidelines are based upon the
Disciplinary requirements and the recommendations made by conference and national agencies
related to church building programs.
3. The work of the Review Committee which continues to be a very significant service available to
all churches within the Annual Conference. Congregations wishing to apply for loans or grants from
conference or other agencies must submit for evaluation their preliminary architectural plans and
financial programs. The committee attempts to evaluate the plans on the basis of the proposed
program and to make recommendations concerning possibilities for financial undergirding of the
project.
4. The planning and execution of the program for the annual joint meeting with the Western
North Carolina Conference Committee on Church Architecture to be held in March. An invitation
was issued to Mr. Harold E. Wagoner, F.A.I. A., requesting that he deal with the trends,
developments, and the future possibilities in the field of religious architecture.

THfc COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
The Commission on Archives and History is composed of one layman and one clergyman from
each of the districts comprising the North Carolina Annual Conference. Members of this
(Commission are dedicated toward the preservation of our rich ecclesiastical heritage while
(striving to make themselves and their fellow Methodists worthy heirs ot this heritage.
I Members of theCommission met on September 8, 1973, at the Prospect United Methodist Church
in Robeson County, which is the largest Indian congregation in the United States. Dr. Adolph Dial,
a member of the Commission, spoke on the history of the Indian Methodist development in North
jCarolina. At this meeting. Dr. Ralph Hardee Rives of Enfield and Greenville was chosen to succeed
•the Reverend C. Franklin Grill of Raleigh as chairman. The Reverend Lawrence E. Lugar of Mount
LGilead was chosen to serve as vice chairman of the Committee.
The Commission members have expressed continued concern about locating a place for the safe
(repository of conference archives. A resolution has been offered to be presented to the members of
I the Annual Conference concerning this desire and the need for such a repository, to be located
Ipreferably in The Methodist Building in Raleigh.
; The Southeastern Jurisdictional Commission on Archives and History met in July, 1973, at St.
Simon's Island, near Brunswick, Georgia, a place with many unique associations with the early
history of Methodism in the New World. The North Carolina Conference had one of the largest
delegations present at the meeting which included lectures on John Wesley's association with the
I, early Georgia colony, his ill-fated romance in Savannah, tours to points of historical interest
adjacent to Epworth-By-The-Sea, and, on the last day, a visit to Methodist points of interest in
i Savannah.
During the period from June 1 to December 31, 1973, several historic celebrations were observed
] in local churches throughout the Conference, including the Historic Zion United Methodist Church
near Mount Gilead, which is one of the oldest Me chodist Churches in that area of North Carolina. A
• historical highway marker has been erected near this church by the Department of Archives and
i History of North Carolina.
- Several additional local church histories were added to the Commission's permenent records.
[Local churches are urged to prepare church histories which should be deposited with the
I Commission's files for future researchers. Histories of Methodist churches no longer in existence
should also be compiled for preservation.
f Joseph W. Watson, a member of the Commission from Rocky Mount, is to be commended for the
! collection of extracts of church deeds in Nash County which he has recently compiled. Such
collections from each of the counties within the Conference would make a valuable addition to the
Commission's permanent records.
Members of the Commission are assisting in the preliminary planning for the celebration of the
I 200th Anniversary of the Carolina Circuit, the first Methodist circuit in North Carolina, in 1976.
The Commission plans to cooperate with the Commission on Archives and History of the Western
I North Carolina United Methodist Conference and the Duke University Divinity School in this
special Bicentennial Celebration of North Carolina Methodism.
The Commission has continued to support the monthly preaching services and special
1 celebrations held at Whitaker's Chapel, near Enfield, and Rehoboth Church, near Roper and
Creswell. The Reverend Carl W. Barbee, retired member of the Conference, spoke at the Annual
"Homecoming" at Whitaker's Chapel in June. The Reverend Roy L. Matthews, Jr., Student Supply
Pastor of the West Halifax Charge, near Enfield, agreed in the summer of 1973 to serve as "Host
Pastor" at Whitaker's Chapel for the monthly services there. Dr. A. L. Whitehurst, lay speaker
from Plymouth, continues to retribute a worthwhile service to the Conference in holding monthly
services at the Historic Rehoboth Church which has recently been renovated by the Washington
County Historical Society.

BOARD OF CHURCH AND SOCIETY
The prime responsibility of this Board is to implement the social Creed. Therefore, we have given
strong emphasis to acquainting our Conference with the Social Principles (paragraphs 71-77, 1972
Discipline) and have used the media kit, "What Must We Do?" at R&R and at the District
Responsibility Workshops. This interpretive media kit has been placed in TRAFCO, many District
offices, and in several local churches for use with local church groups as a primary resource for
promoting our Social Principles.
Rev. Allan Brockway, editor of engage/social action, taught a course on the Social Principles at
R&R. Additional emphasis on the liturgical use of our Social Creed in local church worship services
was provided by offering for sale inexpensive copies of the Social Creed which can be placed easily in
hymnals.
An Alcohol Training Workshop was held in October with the cooperation of the Continuing
Education Division of East Carolina University. Over thirty pastors, representing eleven of our
Districts, attended this two-day event which featured an address by Dr. Thomas Price, Director of I
the Department of Drug and Alcohol Abuse for our General Board of Church and Society. We were
especially grateful for the cooperation of the Cabinet and the District Councils on Ministries for
their willingness to select and fund participants as requested.
We continued our involvement with related groups in sponsoring the Peace Education Booth at
the State Fair as well as our participation in the State Council on Social Legislation and the North
Carolina Council of Churches Commission on Social Ministries. In addition, promotion was
provided for the observance in our churches of World Order Sunday, Drug and Alcohol Concerns
Sunday, and "Trick or Treat" for UNICEF.

COMMITTEE ON CONTINUING EDUCATION
NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
THE ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE The Annual Conference Committee on Continuing
(Education is an integral part of the Division of the Ministry, however, it does have representation
(from other boards. It's tasks are to encourage the parish minister to update and enrich his
: professional skills and knowledge without interrupting his work at the parish level, to enable him to
participate in continuing education and career development.
Continuing education for ministers is defined as a structured and organized experience of
education in which the minister is a student and in which participation is a requirement. This
j definition is not intended to exclude events such as conferences and convocations but is designed as
a guideline for scholarship aid. It is the aim of the committee to encourage and aid every parish
minister serving full time to participate in a life long career of continuing education.
! FINANCIAL RESOURCES Scholarship aid for Continuing Education endeavors come primarily
I from these sources:
(1) The Conference Committee on Continuing Education and the Ministerial Education Fund.
!This is a small amount and is administered by the Conference Committee.
(2) The Duke Endowment which funds ministers serving rural parishes.
(3) The Center for Continuing Education at the Duke Divinity School administered by Dr.
McMurray Richey.
(4) Local churches. More and more parishes are putting an annual amount in the budget for an
improved ministry by way of Continuing Education.
A REPORT ON OUR WORK
(l)The Committee participated in the District workshops for administrative leaders. Our special
input was to the Pastor Parish Relations Committee. The need of the minister for Continuing
Education experiences was highlighted. The response from lay persons was positive.
(2) The Committee gave one minister a scholarship to attend a week long course at Candler School
of Theology. Another minister attended a personal growth laboratory at Princeton with the aid of a
partial scholarship.
(3) We had eleven ministers to attend in-residence seminars at the center for Continuing
Education at the Duke Divinity School.
(4) A Seminar on Transactional Analysis was held in the Fayettevilie District at Methodist
College, Dr. Garland Knott was the Chairman of the seminar which met weekly for six weeks. Dr.
Fred Cortner. an advisor at Ft. Bragg, was the instructor. Seventeen of our ministers attendedyour
committee invested $300 in this seminar.
(4) A Seminar on Transactional Analysis was held in the Fayetville District at Methodist College.
(5) Your Committee requested each District Superintendent to select a minister in the district to
be responsible for the concerns of Continuing Education. This was done and a minister is
responsible in each district to make known these concerns.
(6) We had nine ministers from our Conference to attend one of the summer clinics at the Duke
Divinity School last summer.
(7) We helped finance the Communications Workshop for 15 persons at the Continuing
Education Center at Duke University May 1-3, 1974.
(8) We have seventeen persons from our Conference registered to attend the Continuing
Education event at Edinborough. Scotland June 24-July 9. Twelve of these are ministers. We have
given eight of these ministers a small scholarship.
(9) Ten of our ministers and four wives of ministers attended a Conference at the Duke Divinity
School May 15-16 on "The Christian Experience in the Holy Land." Leaders were Dean and Mrs.
John Wilkinson of St. George's College, Jerusalem.
DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL The Conference Committee would like to thank Dr. McMurray
Richey, Director of the Continuing Education Center at the Duke Divinity School; and Dean Tom
Langford for making so many of the resources of the Duke University Divinity School available to
the ministers of the North Carolina Conference. The establishment of a Center for Continuing
202 North Carolina Annual Conference
Education at the Duke Divinity School here within the bounds of our Annual Conference is the
opening of many new opportunities to the parish ministers of this Conference.
DUKE ENDOWMENT We thank Dr. Wilson Nesbitt and the Duke Endowment for
encouragement, planned events, and funds related to the continuing education and career
development of ministers serving rural parishes.
NOMINATIONS We nominate for membership on the Pastors Board of Managers from the
North Carolina Conference for terms to expire in 1977 two persons: Herman Winberry. A. F.

BURLINGTON DISTRICT
N.W. Grant — Snoerintendent
The report of the 45 charges, consisting of 60 local churches, of the Burlington District for the
1973-1974 Conference year indicates progress in many areas. Someone said: "A man's reach should
exceed his grasp." This reach, we hope, will ever be our experience.
Membership and Evangelism: During the year nearly 700 persons were brought into the
fellowship of the church yet during the same period we lost in one way or another approximately 600
of them. Twenty seven charges experienced an increase.
Education: Fourteen hundred and eighty-six individuals attended some kind of training
opportunity as we attempted to improve the leadership level of our churches. Twenty-one local
churches held some kind of training school and as a result we experienced an increase in our church
school enrollment. Fifty-two of the sixty local churches held Vacation Church Schools.
Missions: Every facet of mission endeavor, local and world wide enjoyed improvement in intent,
participation, and financial response. Fifty-six new Ten Dollar Club members were secured. The
United Methodist Women under the leadership of Mrs. T.J. Jones lead our District in all areas of
concern. It is our prayer that the constituency of the Burlington District beyond the membership of
the United Methodist Women, would catch some of the enthusiasm and faithfulness of this group
and move forward as we work together to reach our goals.
Stewardship: Each charge met its financial responsibilities during the 1973 conference year under
its own power. The District paid its Conference obligations in full. In the fall Charge Conferences
the response to the call of the church in the field of finance was most heartening. An increase in
percentage of acceptance of Conference askings was an indication of the faithfulness of the people of
the District.
Building and Improvements: Extensive renovations have been wrought to the following churches:
Davis Street. Saxapahaw, and Shiloh. Debts have been retired and the following churches
dedicated: Christ Church, Saxapahaw, Hebron, and Faith. Webb Avenue-Trinity (Name changed to
Emmanuel) has constructed a plant which cost nearly a million dollars. Cedar Cliff, and Bethel in
South Alamance will soon embark on a building program as their plans have been drawn. Three
new parsonages have been built: Hebron, Phillips Chapel, and Salem. The two last named have not
only been built during this year but paid for. Fairview and Lebanon have completed payment of
their parsonage debts.
Appreciation: What could any pastor do without his or her lay people? The answer to this
question is evident, "nothing." Therefore let me express my gratitude for the faithfulness of a large
portion of the 20,000 people in the churches of the Burlington District. The Lay Leader, George H.
Forehand, and Mrs. T.J. Jones, President of United Methodist Women have led well during these
days. We worked well together and enjoyed every minute of it. As we come to the end of the year we
thank God not only for our successes of the past but look forward to wonderful day ahead. As soon
as the Annual Conference is over the Superintendent and his family will move to a beautiful new
District parsonage located at 31 18 Truitt Drive, Burlington, North Carolina.

GOLDSBORO DISTRICT
A.F. Fisher. Superintendent
The pastors and lay people of the Goldsboro District of the North Carolina Conference of the
United Methodist Church have again demonstrated their concern and support for the cause of
Christ by their work during this conference year. As always, it is impossible to enumerate all the
achievements of the churches, but there are a number of significant areas which must be lifted up.
LICENSE TO PREACH: One of the most meaningful experiences of the Church is the granting
of the License to Preach to persons entering the ministry. The Goldsboro District Conference this
year approved the License to Preach for three men: Raymond Gardner Gurley. currently serving the
Brietz Church in Smithfield as a Part-Time Lay Pastor; Richard Eugene Hasty. Jr.. a rising
sophmore at the University of North Carolina, who will be taking an appointment at Conference:
and Henry Eugene Howell, a student at Wayne Community College. These men have much to offer
our Conference in the years ahead, and we give them our full support in their work.
MEMBERSHIP: The reaching of new persons as members of the United Methodist Church is a
prime concern for the District. Since January 1, 1974. the Goldsboro District reports 160 persons
206 North Carolina Annual Conference
added on Profession of Faith, and 159 persons added by Transfer, making a total of 319 new
members. With a loss of 100. the Goldsboro District shows a net gain of 21 9 new members.
FINANCES: For the fourth consecutive year, the Goldsboro District has paid 100 per cent or
better of all its Askings. Again, the churches of the Goldsboro District have led the Conference in
acceptance of the Askings for next year, and have shown significant increases in all areas.
particularly in increased salary support for their pastors. By this kind of stewardship, the people of
this District have proven their commitment to the program of the Church.
The Goldsboro District had a total of 37 new Ten-Dollar Club Members in 1973.
Also, it must be noted that a total of $178,768 has been spent on buildings and improvements in
the District. Specific building projects include Dedication of the parsonage on the Bethel-Rones
Charge. Dedication services for the renovation of the Providence Church on the Magnolia Charge,
renovation of the inside of the church building of the St. John Church, major renovation of
sanctuary and fellowship hall at Wallace United Methodist Church, and approval of plans for two
new parsonages, one at St. Paul Church, Goldsboro. and one for Trinity Church on the Institute
Charge.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: In order to strengthen the educational program of our
churches, there have been a number of workshops and training sessions. More than 400 people have
taken part in local church workshops, and over 300 persons have been involved in sub-district or
district workshops. There have been 185 people taking part in Vacation Church School Institutes
and 200 people attended teacher-training session.
SPECIAL MINISTRIES: There have been a number of areas of special ministries in the
Goldsboro District, including cooperative services between United Methodists and other
denominations; worship services in prisons, hospitals and rest homes; clothing closet for needy and
transient persons; and food distribution.
Several churches report special youth programs and projects, prayer retreats, new study
opportunities, and active participation in service project in the community, including Scouts,
kindergarten, etc.
St. Luke Church. Goldsboro. was recognized as "Church of the Year" by the Wayne County
Mental Health Association as a result of their support and participation in the mental health
program.
DEDICATION OF PASTORS AND LAY PEOPLE: It would be impossible to present this
thrilling report without recognizing the marvelous work and support of the pastors and lay people of
the Goldsboro District. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work and serve with these
people, to feel their support, to share with them their pride in their commitment to the United
Methodist Church, and to realize with them that they are truly God's witnesses and will continue to
be effective witnesses in the years ahead.

NEW BERN DISTRICT
Harold F. Leatherman. Superintendent
The following report is made with a deep sense of gratitude to God and appreciation for the
ministers and the congregations they serve.
MEMBERSHIP
The New Bern District had the second largest Net Gain in membership, 332. This fact is the most
significant part of the entire report.
STEWARDSHIP
More churches are realizing the importance of an Every Member Visitation program as the best
metfroo of undergirding the church with sound financial support. As a result, a large number of
churches are participating in programs that put Stewardship in proper focus.
The amount raised for Buildings and Improvements amounted to $247,470.
The growth of membership in the Ten Dollar Club continues, and more emphasis is being placed
in this area as a means of ministry beyond the local church.
Increased support of Ministers, Single Figure and Advance Giving indicates growth in the area of
Stewardship.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The response to "The District Workshop for Work Area Chairpersons" and "The Workshop for
Local Church Administrative Officers" was outstanding. The number attending indicates a
willingness on the part of our leadership to be more effective in their respective leadership role.
LAY LIFE AND WORK

attending was small, but since this was a first, it is our belief that the enthusiasm manifested by
those present will result in a larger participation in the future.

from Methodist College and Dr. Richard Pearce shared with us something of his hopes and dreams
for Methodist College.

improve our average attendance.

ROCKY MOUNT DISTRICT
Paul Carruth, Superintendent
Saint Paul declared that there is nothing to be gained by boasting (II Corinthians 12:1). Still, he
went ahead to boast. We take him seriously not simply because he was one of the greatest men who
ever lived by more importantly because he so completely convinces us that he lived not for himself
Journal of Proceedings 211
i but for Christ (II Corinthians 5:15). This brief report lists only a fraction of what we hoped would be
accomplished in the Rocky Mount District, but it is offered in the hope that it may give
praise to God whom we earnestly desire to serve.
! In the Rocky Mount District, 251 souls were added to the rolls of the Church by Confirmation
' during 1973-1974 . By transfer of Church letter, 407 were added for a total of 658 additions. This
represents a net gain of 22 for the year.
After a stewardship emphasis program that sent a team of leaders to every Charge of the District,
18 Charges had Every Member Visitations. Excellent responses were reported to these Visitations.
The amount raised for building and improvements in 1973 was $176,360. The Shiloh Church of the
Gaston Charge was completed, and the parsonage at Spring Hope was dedicated by Bishop
; Blackburn. The Middlesex Church has been paid for and was dedicated on June 2, 1974 by Bishop
Blackburn. A fellowship hall has been constructed at both Mount Pleasant Church and at
; Spring Church. Spring is the church of our Conference located in Virginia. Nashville Church
expects to begin a $300,000 education building in the immediate future. Nashville has $100,000 in a
: building campaign. West Nash. Wilson, has just completed a very successful campaign for funds
; looking to an addition to its education building. Ninety thousand dollars was pledged. Roanoke
1 Parish is planning the construction of a fellowship hall.
The district participated in a number of leadership development activities during the year
I including district wide workshops in the following areas of responsibility: Local Church Work
; Areas, Administrative Officers, Vacation Church School and Stewardship. The Halifax County
Teacher Training Workshop was held, and a cluster of Churches in the Roanoke Rapids area held
f training sessions for youth workers.
Dr. George Outen spoke at the best attended Lay Rally in six years. The United Methodist
Women have vigorously pursued the program and responsibilities of their new organization.
The Year of the Church School is marked by the reopening of Sunday School at both Speight's
! Chapel and at Eden Church. Church School enrollment is numbered at 8581 with an average
(attendance 4881. New members added this year total 276. The net increase in enrollment is 75.
Thirty-two churches participated in teacher training sessions, and 48 churches held Vacation
[ Church Schools.
There are changes in leadership, both clerical and lay, through the years in all our churches. Still,
|the congregations carry on, and their ministry in their communities continues to shape the lives of
[men after the intent of the divine Father. This superintendent acknowledges an immense debt of
! gratitude for the faithfulness and devotion of an able group of pastors and laymen with whom it has
been his pleasure to work during the past six years. In particular, James R. Watkins, District Lay
leader, and Mrs. A. D. Haverstock and Mrs. C. H. Banks, District Presidents of the United
Methodist Women have been a great source of encouragement. The District Trustees and District
Treasurers have furnished unusually fine leadership. It is understandable if special indebtedness to
my brothers in the ministry, the fine pastors of the district and their wives, claim a special measure
of their strength and help during this eventful and meaningful period has been a source of
! satisfaction and joy. God bless them every one.
SANFORD DISTRICT
James H. McCallum, Superintendent
The Sanford District continues to progress in many areas of our work. Since January of this year
there has been a net gain of 83 new members, making our total membership 15,790.

REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE ON DISABILITY
Ministers' Emergency Fund
1. The Sustentation Fund is to be used for emergency relief in the form of grants to effective
ministers and lay pastors serving appointments whose salary is paid by the local church or
conference treasurer, and who become disable to the extent that they are unable to continue their
work, and those whose income is not adequate to meet emergency needs.
2. Emergency appropriations shall be used to bring the disabled minister's income up to a
maximum of $4,320 per conference year. If the applicant receives other personal income in the
excess of $4,320 such additional income shall be deducted from the emergency grant. In no event
shall the emergency funds be used to supplement an applicant's income of $4, 320 or above.
3. Payment of this $4,320 will be on the basis of $360 per month. Payment will be made only
during those months the applicant aualifies for Emergency Funds. No funds will be appropriated
without three-fourths approval ot the Joint Committee on Disability.
secretary must place all necessary forms in the hands of the Cabinet members at the beginning of
each conference year.
4. The Joint Committee on Disability secretary must place all necessary forms in the hands of the
Cabinet members at the beginning of each conference year.
5. In all cases the applications - the district superintendent, the doctor, and the applicant - shall
be completed and forwarded to the chairman of the committee before approval of funds will be
made. Any minister expecting to receive Emergency Funds at the beginning of the conference year
should make application not later than two weeks before the annual conference convenes.
6. The Joint Committee on Disability may require physiological and psychological examination
when deemed necessary by the committee. These will be done by a doctor approved by the
committee and results of test will be sent to the committee. In such a case the committee may share
the expense of the examination in an amount not to exceed $100.
7. Funds will be made payable within thirty days following committee approval.
8. In cases where application for Emergency Funds occur during the session of the annual
conference, the applicant's district superintendent, and the applicant, when possible, shall present
an oral application to a joint committee of the Cabinet and at least three members of the Joint
Committee on Disability. At this time appropriate action will be taken in keeping with the best
interest of the applicant and in the spirit of the Emergency Fund. The written forms must be
completed and placed with the committee within thirty days of this meeting.
9. All cases shall be reviewed at the middle of the Conference year to determine progress made in
each case. It shall be the responsibility of each applicant's district superintendent to see that the
progress reports - statements from the doctor and the district superintendent - are completed and
214 North Carolina Annual Conference
placed with the committee. Should this review of the applicants' disability reveal that he is capable
of reassuming work, it shall be the responsibility of the Joint Committee on Disability to bring this
information to the attention of the Cabinet.
10. Should the disability continue beyond one vear or through one annual conference we call
attention to the fact that the General Board of Pensions makes medical disability payments, based
on a man's service years. We also call attention that it is possible that in some cases retirement may
offer specific advantages over Emergency Fund Aid.
11. Should the disability continue beyond one year or through one annual conference, the Joint
Committee will conform to Disciplinary Requirements as found in paragraph 357 which demand
annual conference approval.
12. We recommend that expenses of travel, telephone, postage, etc. for committee be paid from
the Emergency Fund.
13. Be it resolved, that the Joint Committee on Disability and the Cabinet work with the agencies
and institutions to utilize talents and abilities of disabled ministers. It is recommended that where
it is possible to give full or part-time employment by matching a need of the institutions or agency,
to that of the disabled minister, it is strongly urged to do so. It k recommended that the
administrative head of each institution and agency supply a list of possible positions to the Cabinet,
and to the Joint Committee on Disability, who will work for mutual satisfaction and placement. The
final decision will rest with the Cabinet.
14. That the Joint Committee on Disability shall assume the conference coverage of Group Life
Insurance and Health Insurance only for that time that a person is on Disability. This is an addition
to the monthly basic grant of $360, provided no other provisions for such insurance is made.
15. The committee urges that the church and/or interested individuals recognize the contributions
made by the Conference by providing rent free house for those men who are disabled and cannot
continue their pastoral work.

Many of our Christian Educators are involved in a local level in co-operating with educational
workers in other denomination* in providing leadership training to church school teachers. There
have been several workshops for local teachers and in one case a workshop for the directors to
participate together. Methodist educators are finding much in common w ith Christian Educators of
other denominations and also a real source of talent and help.
The North Carolina Christian Educators Fellowship has met several times this past year, always
keeping in mind to have programs that will sharpen their skills and to make them aware of ways to
help their church. A committee has been formed by the Christian Educators Fellowship to seek out
and provide effective help, in the area of the Church School Year 1974, for Pastors and the churches |
in the North Carolina Conference.

COMMITTEE ON CAMPING MINISTRY
J.S. Blair. Jr., M.D.. Chairperson
The committee is pleased that during 1973 Christian Educatioi outdoors grew both in the
i numbers of participants and in the goals reached. We have constantly reminded ourselves that our
; purpose is to provide the setting, facilities, and opportunities for studv and experience whereby
those involved will learn more about the relationship between God, man and nature. The
ij opportunity to teach the responsibility we all have for the care of God's creation has been a
■ challenge and a joy.
During the summer camping program (and the year around retreat usehhe number of participants
I continues to increase. Having Myra and C. P. Morris at Don Lee and Jerry Jackson at Rockfish have
' been big factors in this increased participation. Other factors have been the program for
I developmental disabilities at Chestnut Ridge, increased family camping at Kerr Lake and church
i camping at Rockfish.
Through the planning and work of Bob Reed our camps superintendent, maintenance of our
\ buildings and grounds has been excellent.
As it has been in the past one of the most rewarding programs in the camping ministry was the
, camps for people with special needs. Children with developmental disabilities, including the
mentally retarded, experienced the thrill of the discovery of the natural world sometimes for the first
time. We are proud that the N. C. Conference through the camping ministry was the pioneer in this
area of ministry.
We admit that we were not as successful in involving the older youth in camping as we had hoped.
' Because of our experiences we are designing primative, adventurous, innovative camping
t experiences in 1974 for older youth.
Finally, the committee acknowledges that we are greatly indebted to The Reverend R. Keith
. Glover who served the camping ministry well for almost six years. Keith left us this year. He
demonstrated to us that he is innovative, knowledgeable, creative and blessed with the ability to
dream and then work for the realization of the dream. He will be missed.
THE DUKE ENDOWMENT
Office of Rural Church Affairs
January 1. 1973 — December 31, 1973
This report for the calendar year of 1973 presents a better overall picture of appropriations made
j to rural churches even though it includes some of the appropriations reported for the conference
year 1972-1973. It should be noted that appropriations for Parish Development Grants will be
; increasing as the appropriations for Regular Pastorates (supplements through the Equitable Salary
I Program) decrease.
The grants from The Duke Endowment are enabling funds designed to develop strong pastoral
charges that are self-sustaining, providing adequate support for pastoral leadership and engaging in
mission at home and afar. Program planning and leadership training are high priorities in the work
of the rural church as it is being challenged by a constantly changing community.

THE COMMISSION ON ENLISTMENT
FOR CHURCH OCCUPATIONS
One of the most rewarding experiences any person can have is to be told that through his work
another has been helped in finding his or her way to the building of a life for the total good of
mankind. This past short Conference year of seven (7) months has brought two such notices to this
Commission and they were gratefully received. It is our prayer that the decisions made will be
lasting ones for Christ and His Church.
The above is what the work of the Commission on Enlistment for Church Occupations is all about
and the results for which we work and strive to achieve. The various members are constantly being
urged to stay knowledgeable of the needs in this particular field and to be constantly mindful of
these people who may be willing and able to find their rightful place in the building of His Kingdom.
To this end we have pointed the following activities in our Conference:
1. An evening meal for fellowship was held prior to the opening of our last Annual Conference
Sessions for those coming into our Conference On Trial. This affair was sponsored jointly with
the Division on the Ministry.
2. A direct urging to all our pastors through the District Secretaries to observe Ministry Sunday
during the month of September. From the results obtained, this effort should be promoted
and activated to a greater degree for a grand opportunity is being missed by those who do not
cooperate.
3. Using the District Program Councils an effort has been made to stimulate the giving to the
offerings received at our Lay Rallies. This money provides much-needed scholarships in the
local districts.
4. Planning sessions have been held that the Testing and Guidance Clinics to be held in March.
1974 at Wesleyan College might reach the largest number of high school students and be of ser-
vice to them. Our Commission wishes to thank Mr. H. Ray Brackett. a Wesleyan faculty mem-
ber, and his fine staff for the excellent work done in this endeavor.
Journal of Proceedings 221
5. The filing system of prospective persons interested in the pastoral ministry and the other
Christian vocations is continuously being brought up-to-date. This project can be most helpful
if cooperation is received from our ministries and others in positions of leadership.
This has been a good period of work for our Commission and we anxiously find ourselves awaiting
hat we might be able to do in the months ahead.

THE DIVISION OF EVANGELISM
1 For the Division of Evangelism, the 1973 Seven Months Year was largely one of preparation for
he Convocation on Evangelism. March 4-6, 1974. at Highland Church in Raleigh. But a serious
Utempt was made to implement the final phases of Key 73 at the local church level
To that end, nine of our District Directors attended the training sessions at Lake Junaluska in
August, and were subsequently instructed to contact and encourage all pastors within their Districts
o participate in those activities scheduled under Phase V entitled: "Calling Our Continent To
Proclamation." Those activities included:
. a. Youth Outreach Weeks during July and August.
b. Booth displays and services at State and County Fairs during September and October.
c. Area Impact Weeks.
d. Use of film: "More Than You Are" on regional television.
Similar attention was given to Phase VI, "Calling Our Continent To Commitment," which
focused upon:
a. Reclaiming Christmas as a distinctly Christian festival, through Confirmation services, clus-
ter Bible Study of an ecumenical nature, designed to reflect our common Christian
commitment.
b. A Covenant Celebration on Sunday, December 30th, to celebrate new commitments in the
local congregation.
The Division also provided leadership in the area of evangelism for the Responsibility Workshops
:onducted conference-wide in September, for the purpose of:
a. Clarifying the function of the work area on Evangelism.
b. Offering guidance on how this area might be developed within the local church.
c. Showing how the work area is related to the Council on Ministries, and to the church's total
ministry.
d. Identifying evangelistic leaders at the District and Conference levels.
e. Introducing resource material for local church evangelism.
The Division stands ready to assist the Conference and the local church in any way it can to make
ivangelism a vital and meaningful expression of the church's ministry, and appreciates the
•pportunity to be of service.

THE METHODIST FOUNDATION, INC. 1973-74
The past year, our I vth. has again reflected a generally favorable performance. Estimated annual
ncome is now in excess of $230,000. During the past year we have again experienced a rather
weak equities market -a historic high opportunity for investing in high-yielding fixed-income securi-
ties and mortgages. During the year there was no reason for any major change in our investment
lolicies. We continue to pay close attention to the performance of individual companies and
ndustries in the equity sector — gradually building up our holdings in proven companies rather than
uther diversification of names. We futher consolidated the fixed income sector into larger units in
>rder to take advantage of more attractive trading oportunities. During the year we added to our
eal estate portfolio investments yielding historically high rates. There is reason to believe that the
:oming year will reflect continued improvement in our overall performance and amount of
lisposable income generated.
SL. Gulledge.Jr.
President
222 North Carolina Annual Conference
DIVISION OF HEALTH AND WELFARE MINISTRIES
The division, during the year, lias continued to give strong support and where possible, guidance
to both our Methodist Home for Children and the Methodist Retirement Home. It is our
responsibility each year to nominate new trustees to both Homes replacing those who rotate off.
Our division, in cooperation with The Methodist Children's Home, gave careful consideration in the
nomination of Dr. I . Manin Vick as the new administrator of The Methodist Children's Home.
Through the leadership of the district lay-chairman, and the Conference chairman of Golden
Cross, much valuable financial aid has been given to the Methodists who needed help with
hospitalization. This continues to be one of the tine programs of our church.
Likewise, the division continues in its support of the Chaplaincy Program at the Duke Medical ij
Center and with the work with alcoholics in the Good Shepherd Home at Lake Waccamaw. N. C.
The principal interest of the division during the year has been a new look at areas where the
Church can become involved in work with the mentally handicapped, under the leadership of Dr. j
Robert Pit/cr of the Southeastern Methodist Agency for the Retarded. Dr. Donald Stedman, child j
psychologist and professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina and Mr. Robert Denny, '
executive secretary of the State Developmental Center at Chapel Hill. Representatives from both I
our division and the division of the Western North Carolina Conference were in attendance. When
it became quite obvious that little is being done in this area by our Church, and that there are many ■
areas where we can and should become involved, it was decided to have a two-day study involving
not only the representatives of the divisions of Health and Welfare Ministries of the two conferences. .
but also representatives from most of the boards and agencies from each Conference. This study was •
held in Greensboro on April 2-3. In addition to the leaders that were present in Chapel Hill, Dr.
Gerald Benbergs. director of the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center of Texas University ,
was present. Our own Bishop Robert M. Blackburn was also present as a resource person.
Following the intensive two-day study, this division is making recommendations to the Annual
Conference of areas where most churches can become involved. It is hoped that the North Carolina
Annual Conference w ill give even greater emphasis to this area of need in the future.
J. Paul Edwards, Chairperson
TRUSTEES OF THE METHODIST HOME FOR CHILDREN, INC.
Since the Annual Conference has changed the Conference fiscal year to correspond with the
calendar year, the Trustees decided to change the fiscal year for the Methodist Home to correspond
with the Annual Conference year, beginning January 1. 1974. This has required a number of
adjustments in record keeping and reporting. Hereafter the fiscal year will be the calendar year
ending December 31.
jV/7'iti'i — i iie Home serves children wno need to live in its residential program. At the same
time every effort is made to maintain the strongest possible ties between the children and their
relatives. This family involvement is essential to the child's mental health and general happiness.
One cottage is temporarily closed. Nine cottages on campus and one off-campus cottage are
presently operated, with a capacity of 1 13 children in residence. In addition, a few children can be
cared for in Mother's Aid and in Foster Homes. Usually four to six students are in some form of
Post-High School Education.
General Operation — More than a year ago the Superintendent made know n his desire to retire.
He had already reached the age for voluntary retirement in the Annual Conference. The board
acceded to his request and appointed a Search Committee to nominate a successor. In view of the
impending change in administration, an effort has been made to maintain a stable "status quo"
situation during this period. It is anticipated that the new Superintendent will be elected in April
and will take over the administrative responsibility after the Annual Conference in June.
Finances — During the period of fifteen months ending December 31. 1973 the Home has
operated within its income, in spite of the rapidly increasing cost of everything which had to be
purchased. The adjustments in records and procedures made necessary by the change-over in fiscal
sears makes a financial statement very complicated. For that reason this report does not contain a
financial statement. The Auditor's Report gives the details and indicates that the records of the
Home are proper and in good order.
In adopting a Budget for the year 1974 it has been necessary to reduce total expenditures
somewhat below the figure which was estimated as necessary to maintain the level of services. The
Journal of Proceedings 223
rusiccs felt that it was necessary to live within the limits of our income, even at the cost of reducing
•niccs. The increasing-cost of everything has advanced more rapidly than our income. The
aerating Budget for the year 1974 was set at $554,128.
frventy-fifth Anniversary — The period 1974-75 marks the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the
funding of the Methodist Home for Children. The Home was chartered in March 1899 as the
Methodist Orphanage." The first child was admitted in 1900. The name was changed to
.Methodist Home for Children" in 1955. Plans for the appropriate recognition of this Anniversary
re in the making but have not been completed at this time.

THE METHODIST RETIREMENT HOMES, INC.
Durham, North Carolina
You enable the Church to serve its retired members through The Methodist Retirement Homes,
c. both through a part of the budget of your church and through individual and organizational
fits and perpetual gifts through wills. Thank you! Did you know that those of retirement age are
e fastest growing segment of our population?
Within the bounds of our conference there are, right now, 30,000 Methodists of retirement age,
ith 4,000 reaching retirement age annually. These fellow Christians, living longer, cannot secure
teded help to remain in their own homes, thus a retirement community becomes a welcomed
swer for many.
Aware of this increasing need, the Conference is expanding its retirement facilities giving The
omes a new capacity of 400 by 1976.
An increasing number of applications are coming for admission to The Home in Durham. With
e present rate of applications received by the staff of The Home in Lumberton that facility will be
led as quickly as the doors are opened.
An increasingly large percentage of the applications for your Home in Durham is coming from
ospective residents who are approaching the need of constant care. This is a larger percentage
ian it has been the policy of The Home to accept because the mandate of the Conference was to
ovide a Christian Retirement Home for those in the early years of retirement. An increasing
imber of elderly retirees needing nursing care--those who are creating problems for their
milies--are putting pressure on the Admissions Committee and The Home to help solve their
oblems. Unfortunately, constant nursing care is requiring a greater percent of specialized time
id increasing the overall per member cost. The trustees of The Home recognize this as a great need
id a compassionate Christian concern and sincerely hope and pray that the Conference will soon
id a way to accept the responsibility for providing nursing care. Your Home staff is doing all that it
n.
During the next few months The Home expects to be participating not only in the Medicaid
ogram but also in the Medicare and in the Intermediate Care Programs. Again, please remember
at the Trustees are commissioned primarily by the Conference to provide Retirement Homes.
Plans are completed for the Health Care Center in Durham. If bids are reasonably close to the
timated cost of $2,000,000 construction should begin this summer with the 120 bed facility
heduled to be completed within eighteen months.
A majority of the applicants for The Home in Durham are still coming from a radius of 60 miles
id all of the applications so far for The Home in Lumberton have come from within a radius of 60
iles of Lumberton. This means that if we are to serve the Methodists of eastern North Carolina we
11 be compelled to provide additional Homes-a minimum of one in the Northeastern section of the
onference and one in the Central Coastal Plains area. Even with these two additional facilities. The
hurch will be able to serve less than 2% of our retired Methodists.
It is not likely that the Conference will be in position for a capital funds campaign for the
;pansion of Retirement Home facilities in the foreseeable future. The Conference demonstrated
atesman like wisdom in authorizing the Board of Trustees to search for governmental and/or
■ivate funds for an additional Home in the Northeastern section of the Conference. Other
onferences of The United Methodist Church have been able to provide Retirement Home facilities
rough such funds.
224 North Carolina Annual Conference
The Conference must look forward as rapidly as possible toward providing a facility in the Centra
Coastal Plains area.
The Operating Budget for the Home in Durham for the year 1974-1975 has been set by the Boan.l
of Trustees at $822,650.58. The Home has no endowment and has no reserve funds to cove]
depreciation. The Methodist Retirement Homes, Inc. has $500,000 to put into the new Home El
Lumberton and $1,000,000 to put into the new Health Care Center in Durham. These funds havt!
accumulated over a period of 19 years from generous gifts and thoughtful wills and the earnings or
these funds. Approximately 25% of this amount has been realized during the past two years.
The property in Durham, including buildings, etc., has a value in excess of $2,000,000 and a lonj':
term mortgage liability of $318,000. The Home's equity as of June 30, 1973 was $3,271,468.04. ■

REPORT OF THE REGIONAL COMMISSION
HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAMPUS MINISTRY
June - December 1973
The Regional Commission is a joint committee representing the Western North Carolina Annuai
Conferece and the North Carolina Annual Conference primarily to provide support and guidance:!
for a program of Campus Ministry in North Carolina.
In June 1973, following the resignation of Dr. Phillip Shore, Rev. H. Langill Watson became ,i
chairman of the Commission. Dr. Glenn Rankin was elected vice-chairman, succeeding Mr.
Watson.
The Regional Commission, with funds from the two Conferences, supports fourteen campus
ministries. Nine full-time ministries are:
UNC-Chapel Hill - Rev. Robert L. Johnson, Chaplain
North Carolina State University - Rev. Neal McGlammery, Chaplain; Ms. Sheryl Scrimsher.j
Associate
East Carolina University - Rev. Dan Earnhardt, Chaplain
Appalachian State University - Rev. Manuel Wortman, Chaplain
Western Carolina State University - Rev. George Weekley, Chaplain
UNC-Greensboro - Rev. Doug Camp, Chaplain
A & T State University - Rev. Earl Wilson, Chaplain
Duke University - Ms. Cathy Carlson, Chaplain
Wake Forest University - Rev. Mark Rose, Chaplain
A part-time ministry is supported at Pembroke State University - kev. J.J. Juren, Chaplain
A joint ministry with the Presbyterian Church US is supported at UNC-Charlotte - Rev. David*
Frye, Chaplain
Cooperative ministries with several denominations are supported at North Carolina Central
University - Rev. Robert Murrary, Chaplain; and at UNC- Wilmington - Rev. Milton Boone,
Chaplain; and a ministry to black students at UNC-Chapel Hil1 - Rev. Preston Jones. Chaplain.
The Commission held only one meeting during the seven month period of this report, an overnight
meeting, October 8-9, 1973, at Pfeiffer College.
At the Pfeiffer meeting a major report was received from a Study Task Force appointed by Dr.
Shore. The task assigned to the Study Group was a look at our total campus ministry program with
the aim of seeing where possible changes might be indicated to: 1) enter into joint ministries; 2)
recommend changes in present ministries being supported; 3) recommend changes in use of funds at
the disposal of the Commission.
Growing out of this report, plans were launched to end our Methodist ministry at Duke University
and to join with the Presbyterians in support of a joint ministry under the auspices of the Du
Journal of Proceedings 225
Chapel ministry. Steady progress has been made in this endeavor and hopefully such a joint ministry
will be launched in September 1974. A concommitant part of this arrangement is the
recommendation that the Jordan Building at Duke University be discontinued as a center for
campus ministry activity, and such a recommendation has been referred to the Trustees of the
Jordan Building.
It is the hope of the Commission that a similar joint ministry with the Presbyterians can be
inaugurated at Wake Forest University, however, at the present time no discussions or concrete
plans are underway.
On October 29. 1973, a joint meeting of the cabinets of the Western North Carolina and North
Carolina Annual Conferences, with the college chaplains, was held at Duke University to discuss the
needs and challenges of Campus Ministry.
Consultation continues with the various denominations of North Carolina represented in the
North Carolina chapter of United Ministries in Higher Education, with the hope of extending and
strengthening Christian witness on the various college campuses in North Carolina. A particular
concern is to more adequately provide a ministry to predominantly black campuses and creating
joint ministries on several campuses where such effort seems feasible.
A continuing concern of the Regional Commission is the lack of funds to adequately support the
campus ministries under the sponsorship of the Commission. The problem has several facets;
inflationary pressures, the need for expansion of ministries, and perhaps most troublesome, the
imbalance between the historic 60-40 financial support given by the two conferences occasioned by a
continuing lessening of support from the North Carolina Conference. A fervent hope of the
Commission is that this historic ratio of support can be re-established, in which case much of the
financial squeeze now felt by the Commission can be relieved.
As we look to the future, our conviction is firm that our chaplains provide a vital religious
presence on our State University campuses, a presence we can ill afford to discontinue. Yet, that
prospect will become inevitable if additional financial support cannot be found.

THE DIVISION OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAMPUS MINISTRY
June- December 1973
Two meetings of the Division were held in the seven month 1973 Conference Year.
A called meeting of the Division was held on June 19. 1973, to elect a chairman to succeed Dr.
Cameron West. Rev. H. L. Watson. Vice Chairman of the Division was elected Chairman. Mr.
Kenneth Hite was elected Vice Chairman. Other business concerned budget allocation by the 1973
Annual Conference, the method of nomination of Trustees of our Conference colleges, how to
implement the 1973 Annual Conference action recommending that each local church set up a
scholarship fund for students enrolling in one of our Conference colleges, and priorities for 1975 to
be presented to the Conference Council on Ministries.
The Fall meeting of the Division was held November 15, 1973. Adoption of the 1975 budget,
nomination of college trustees, and distribution of 1974 College Sustaining Funds were regular
items of business. Two special reports were received by the Division.
The first was from a sub-committee appointed to recommend a program for enhancing local
church support for our Conference colleges through local church scholarships. The report as
adopted encourages each local church to establish some supportive scholarship scheme and to
designate local church memorial gifts for a Conference Scholarship Fund.
The second report was a college enrichment proposal presented to the Division by the presidents
of Louisburg, Methodist. N. C. Wesleyan colleges. The proposal was referred to a special study
232 North Carolina Annual Conference
committee which met December 14, 1973. In response to the recommendations of this Committee,
the Division is recommending to the 1974 Annual Conference that meetings be held in each District
during November 1974 under the joint sponsorship of the Divison ot Higher Education, District
Councils on Ministries, and the three colleges. The purpose ot" the meetings will be to consider the
role our colleges play in realizing our goals as Methodists, to interpret the needs ot the colleges, and
most ot all. to get a "grass roots" response from the laity of our Conference as to how we may more
creatively approach the needs of church supported higher education in the North Carolina
Conference.
The major concern of the Division in 1973 has been how to deal in a creative manner with the real
and urgent needs facing our three colleges. Two issues are central to the whole matter: 1). How to
provide financial support adequate to enable the colleges to continue to function as vital and
meaningful centers of learning; 2). How to reverse a continuing downward trend in enrollment.
Neither issue is a problem unique to North Carolina Conference Methodists, but rather a reflection
of a state and nationwide crisis in both public and private higher education. How successfully the
crisis posed will be dealt with will in the end be determined by the kind of will and determination
expressed in both tangible and intangible ways by the people of the North Carolina Conference. The
hour is at hand when a new level of response must be realized or drastic changes in our present
programs in higher education will be made.

THE DIVISION OF INTERRELIGIOUS AND ECUMENICAL CONCERNS
District Responsibility Workshops were held in eleven Districts in September. These were led by
three of our District Chairmen, and the attendance was good.
Regular meetings of the Division are being held in towns where outstanding ecumenical projects
are taking place.
A pictorial display of "Cooperative Church Ventures," depicting interesting ecumenical
activities, was viewed by those attending Summer R. & R. Two Workshops were held at these
Sessions. A film, "A Legend," was furnished by our Division for use in the Center for Learning at R.
& R. This is an excellent film and may be obtained from our Conference TRAFCO office.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was observed in several communities in our Conference in
January. These were cooperative experiences and were enthusiastically received.
Materials are being collected for a News Letter which will be sent to local chairmen. This letter
will feature interesting ecumenical projects from across the Conference.
C.O.C.U. is very much alive! It is pursuing these priorities this year: 1. Institutional Racism; 2.
Faith. Worship and Ministry; 3. Generating Communities; 4. Study of the Local Expression of
Church; & 5. Interim Eucharistic Fellowship. The next Plenary Session will be in November 1974.
Ecumenism is a living reality. A deep and vital interest in the movement is apparent among most
of the "main line" Protestant denominations, as well as among many Roman Catholics and Jews.

DIVISION OF LAY LIFE AND WORK
This has been an interesting year for our Conference Division of Lay Life and Work. We sense a
regaining of strength in our programs and an expansion into some new areas.
At the beginning of the last Conference year our Division started out with great enthusiasm to
encourage the starting of as many new Methodist Men's Groups in the North Carolina Conference
as possible. "Encourage" we did. "Starting" we also did, but we found that it will take a lot more
encouragement and active participation of our Division over a longer period of time if we are to
achieve the desired results. We plan to pursue the same goal during the coming Conference year as
well as enlisting more participation in the Methodist Men's Scholarship Program.
The Division of Lay Life and Work recommended at least two programs to each District Council
on Ministries: a lay/clergy dialogue and listening sessions within each district. The District
Councils responded in different ways, although some of them had both the dialogue and listening
sessions.
The number of Districts holding District Lay Retreats increases each year. We are also finding
lay participation is increasing among most of the districts that have held Lay Retreats in previous
years. Since we did not hold a Conference-wide Lay Retreat this year, District retreats are becoming
more important to our total program.
Many local churches observed Laity Day. Different approaches were tried in some churches:
dialogue sermons with the lay leader and the pastor, films, panel discussions, as well as more
traditional services.
The Lay Training Workshop sponsored by the Division of Lay Life and Work were planned and
the leaders for the most part were trained during the final months of 1973. (The workshops were in
early 1974.) The training of leadership for these workshops was handled in a different manner from
previous years and we feel the Workshops were improved as a result. The Conference Staff and
Belton Joyner in particular deserve much credit in this endeavor.
A number of persons from our Conference attended the National Conference of the Laity at
Purdue University in July.
The Division of Lay Life and Work appreciates the support of Bishop Blackburn and others. In
closing, our report for 1973 should indicate our great excitement and anticipation for 1974 and the
years to come. We are glad to be a part of the North Carolina Conference.

THE COMMITTEE ON THE LAY WORKER
The Discipline of the United Methodist Church defines a Lay Worker in Paragraph 501 in this
manner: "A Lay Worker in the churches is a person other than the clergy whose decision to
make a career of the work (either full-time or term) in the employed status in the church or
church-related agencies is accompanied by the meeting of standards of excellence in the chosen
field of service and who has been consecrated by a bishop."

The Committee on the Lay Worker calls the attention of the Annual Conference and
especially the attention of local churches employing lay workers to Par. 507.1 of the Discipline
of the United Methodist Church "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 Pensions or other boards or agencies of the United Methodist
Church." The Cumulative Penison and Benefit Fund is now the successor to the Lay Employees
Pension Fund. Into this plan, the consecrated Lay Worker moves with guaranteed participation
based upon the above legislation. The responsibility of the Committee on the Lay Worker is to
see that this guarantee is given to the Lay Worker and where necessary to enter into negotiation
with the employing agency to see that this support is established. Detailed information on the
Cumulative Pension and Benefit fund is available from the General Board of Pensions of the
United Methodist Church, 1200 Davis Street, Evanston, Illinois 60201. 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 agent and 37c 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 the Blue
Cross-Blue Shield Insurance plan, and to participate, in their behalf, in the Conference program
of Group Life Insurance.
236 North Carolina Annual Conference
The Committee on the Lay Worker also calls upon all local churches within her bounds to
consider a pension program, as well as hospitalization and life insurance, for ALL lay
employees-not just those who qualify as Lay Workers.

Mrs. Grier Garrick, Secretary
DIVISION OF MISSIONS
This seven month year has been a productive time for our Conference as God's people in mission.
There is a re-birth in our commitment to missions evidenced by a dramatic increase in our giving
through the Advance during the past year. We are moving vigorously in the field of parish
development. The joy of mission involvement is that the paradox of God's love is made evident in
the moment that we feel we are giving our selves away. In that very moment God gives us more to
give.

CHURCH AND COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
1. HARNETT COUNTY, Miss Bernice Ballance, Community Worker, continues to do a fine job
working with the County and the Fayetteville District.
2. ROBESON COUNTY CHURCH AND COMMUNITY CENTER. Reverend Robert Mangum,
Director, Miss Mary Cameron and Miss Kathy Mitchem, Community Workers. The Robeson
County Church and Community Center began in 1969 under the funding from The Bishop's
Fund for Reconciliation. The Center continues a service-social change reconciliation ministry
under United Methodist and Interdenominational support from Robeson and beyond. The
Center plans to continue with a Director and a team of two Community Workers and others.
3. PAMLICO PARISH. Reverend Ray Sparrow, pastor in charge. The Parish continues to make
creative and helpful strides in the churches and beyond. Camp Don-Lee is serving the Parish as
well as the Conference. Dr. C. P. Morris, Director.
4. BEACH MINISTRY AND SEAMAN'S SERVICE CENTER continue in ministry along our
beaches at Morehead and Wilmington, particularly during the summer.
5. KITTY HAWK. Reverend Willie Teague and this group continues to minister to our folk, and
others who come, on our outer banks there.
6. KENANSVILLE PARISH. Reverend Jack Benfield, pastor is one of our newest parishes which
is showing what can be done for good and for God, in and through a parish.
7. PROSPECT UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. Mrs. Ruby Locklear. Indigenous Community
Developer. This program is now in its third year with progress being made.
8. TOWN AND COUNTRY COMMITTEE. Reverend George Johnson, Chairperson. The Town
and Country Committees met in Goldsboro in the fall of 1973 and made plans to send a group of
persons to Hinton Rural Life Center. We also discussed how to provide leadership to our
churches in town and country situations. We noted low morale, low salaries, work load, etc. It
was decided that we needed to help some of our men catch a new vision of what might be ex-
pected in the parish. To that extent the following has been done:
1. Sent a delegation of 10 persons to Hinton, October 8- 11
2. Gave support in finances and leadership to the Parish Fellowship
3. Through our leadership we have helped in the planning of the following:
a. Parish Fellowship Retreat, January at Amity UMC. Chapel Hill.
b. Parish Consultation, February at Methodist College
c. Bishop's Visitation with leaders of small membership churches, in January.
We feel that through the above we have begun a vital ministry to small membership churches in
that a new attitude is being reflected in our Conference. As parish situations develop we will
continue to offer leadership and encouragement in this exciting and promising form of ministry.
9. URBAN MINISTRIES COMMITTEE. Reverend John K. Ormond. Jr., Chairperson. During
the 1973, seven month conference year, the Urban Committee of the Division of Missions made
several important steps toward broadening our understanding of urban dynamics and imple-
Journal of Proceedings 237
meriting a more comprehensive urban ministry concept in the North Carolina Conference.
With the invaluable support of the Association for Christian Training and Service, consulta-
tion on urban possibilities for ministry was entered into in several cities in the Conference. In
Fayetteville, the Urban Committee along with the Fayetteville District Council on Ministries,
sponsored an "Awakening Weekend" staffed by Urban Action of Atlanta. Continued dialogue,
training and planning has gone on with the Fayetteville Urban Committee, looking toward the
establishment of a full Hedged Urban ministry in the Fayetteville area sometime in 1974.
Continued development of an urban coalition with the Western North Carolina and South
Carolina Conferences has also taken place. This dialogue has begun to develop into a real
opportunity for sharing resources, ideas and training and development of urban leadership,
continued involvement with the Association for Christian Training and Service and the Tri Con-
ference Piedmont Coalition, and further consultation with local communities to give support to
present ministries and to help develop new models to meet their changing needs.
10. CHURCH EXTENSION COMMITTEE. Dr. W. W. Austin, Chairperson. This committee has
adopted rules and regulations for the $10 Club and has carried out the work very well. The
number of $10 Club members continues to increase. Approximately 300 new members this year.
The combined foreign call was Singapore and Bolivia, the Conference call was Wellons Village.

COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND CULTIVATION
Report for June, 1973-AprU, 1974
This committee has restructured naming three sub-committees: The Advance. Mission Interpre-
tation, and Mission Studies.
The greatest amount of activity during this period has been with the Advance, under the
chairmanship of Reverend Clyde Dunn of Red Springs. Missionary Salary Support received the
greatest promotion, with continued effort in mission specials. Many local churches have begun
partial support of missionaries, and every district has increased its commitment to "Second-Mile
; Giving." The total amount of Advance Giving during 1973 is in excess of $160,000, as compared to
I $125,000 the prior year. The Advance continues to support the following mission projects:
New Delhi. Ramakrishnapuram
Robeson County Church and Community Center
The Ten Dollar Club-Phase II
Conference Advance Projects
Hinton Rural Life Center has been accepted as the priority mission project for the Southeastern
I Jurisdiction. The committee expresses appreciation to Bishop Robert M. Blackburn and to his
[ Cabinet for their support of our Mission Special promotion. Also, a word of commendation goes to
the local churches for their participation in mission. As a result of that involvement by local
churches, we have been able to help the United Methodist Church to increase missionary salary
support giving by more than 12% already. We need your continued support in the area of mission
salaries.
One new approach to mission involvement has been tried in the Rockingham District, the mission
saturation event called "Adventure in Mission Week-End." Through seven churches and individual
"Faith Promises" $14,000 was pledged to mission giving. Similar mission saturation events will
occur in other districts beginning in 1974 and 1975.
The Mission Interpretation Sub-committee is chaired by Mrs. Edna Lambright of Newport,
I North Carolina. This committee has met and planned for the Fall Mission Rallies for 1974 during
the month of September. Mission interpreters will appear in every district for promoting mission
awareness and involvement. Some mission interpreters who have appeared during 1973 Conference
year are Reverend Billy Starnes, Dr. David Flude, Mrs. Lorena Kelly. Miss Kamela Edwards.
, Reverend Jim Brinks. Mrs. Julia Dixon, and Mr. and Mrs. Don Sibley.
238 North Carolina Annual Conference
The Committee on Mission Studies under the direction ot its chairperson, Reverend Milton Mann
of Hertford, has provided material and resources for mission education and cultivation. The
interest of this group has been to highlight the mission studies each year and to encourage each local
church to participate in the studies. Also, attendance at summer R & R at Methodist College,
Fayetteville, is encouraged by this committee. Leadership personnel and other splendid resources
are provided through the mission studies sub-committee. There were more than 40 persons present
at the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference on Mission at Lake Junaluska in the summer of 1973,
youth and adults. This experience is a highlight in mission education.
The District Chairpersons of Mission who have aided in personal leadership and promotion of the
mission cause in the North Carolina Annual Conference are as follows: George W. Johnson, F.
Roderick Randolph, Milton T. Mann. Edward Franklin Smith, Dr. Lee Adams, Troy James
Barrett, Peleg Dameron Midgett. Ill, Amos Henry Stone. Clyde H. Dunn. Charles B. Myers.

Committee on Pastoral Care have been implemented during the seven-months year. The first
Pastoral Care seminar for ministers and their wives was held at Wrightsville Beach on November
2-3. 1973 for the New Bern and Wilmington Districts. Leadership was provided by Rev. and Mrs.
Warren R. Ebinger from Washington. D. C. (General Board of Church and Society), and members
of the Committee on Pastoral Care. Sixteen couples from the two districts attended, including
Bishop and Mrs. Robert M. Blackburn. Rev. and Mrs. Harold F. Leatherman. and Rev. and Mrs.
W. Junius Neese. Important discussions in the area of the problems of the minister and the
minister's family were held in an atmosphere of concern and trust with indications of new insights
recorded by a number of the participants. Similar seminars are now in the planning stages for
several more districts during 1974.
The Pastoral Counseling Service at the Duke Medical Center has provided professional
counseling services for parsonage families in the North Carolina Conference during the
seven-months year, but the record of this assistance cannot be detailed without revealing the
confidential nature of the problems involved. It should be sufficient to record the fact that there
were parsonage families within our conference who had personal problems of such a nature that
professional help was necessary for their solution. During 1974 we anticipate more individuals and
families w ill take advantage of this service and the financial assistance offered by the Committee on
Pastoral Care. The following guidelines for expense-sharing by our committees are recommended
for 1975:
1. Cost of first visit to the counseling service would be met in full by the committee, up to a limit of
$20.22.
2. Cost of successive visits to the counseling service, to a maximum of four, would be shared by the
committee on a 50%-50% basis, until the total support for the initial visit and successive visits
reaches $50.00.
3. The total support for these visits to the counseling service (by an individual or a family) would be
$60.00.
4. Some psychiatric services are always available from local psychiatrists through the provisions of
the Major Medical coverage of our conference Blue-Cross and Blue-Shield insurance program.
These would not apply, however, at a pastoral counseling service for other than specialized medi-
cal consulting services.
5. Referrals can be made by the individual involved (by calling the Duke Pastoral Counseling Ser-
vice in Durham - 684-3586). the Bishop, the Cabinet, or the Division of Ministry, but all matters

dealt with in the counseling sessions will remain privileged information until the individual in-
voked w ishes some report to be made.
The desire of the Committee on Pastoral Care continues to be for stronger, happier, and more
productive family relationships in the parsonages of our conference. To this end we direct our
programs and proposals, and welcome the support of other conference agencies in our efforts.

COMMITTEE ON PARSONAGE STANDARDS
A GUIDE FOR BUILDING, FURNISHING, AND MAINTAINING PARSONAGES
INTRODUCTION
It is the policy of the North Carolina Conference that every pastoral charge shall provide a
parsonage in which the pastor and his family shall reside.
It is recommended that in each pastoral charge having a parsonage, the charge conference
elect a Parsonage Committee whose responsibility it shall be to work closely with the charge
trustees and the pastor-parish relations committee in providing an adequate and comfortable
residence fur the pastor. This committee should meet regularly and as needed. In charges of
more than one church, each church should have a representative on the Parsonage Committee
except where one church owns the parsonage, then the Parsonage Committee should be elected
by the Administrative Board of thai church.
Parsonages should be so designed that pastoral appointments can be made on the basis of the
needs of the charge rather than the suitability of the parsonage to receive the family assigned.
The following suggestions are GOALS toward which to work. They are given with the idea
that the pastoral charge should know what is expected of it and that the parsonage family may
know what to expect in the parsonage.
THE HOUSE
It is suggested that the parsonage have:
1. Minimum of three bedrooms (four are preferable) with ample closet space in each.
2. A family room or den preferably separate and apart from the kitchen.
3. Kitchen with built-in cabinets, sink, hot and cold running water. Large enough for family
eating space, or a breakfast nook.
4. Utility area large enough for washer, dryer, ironing equipment, etc.
5. Two baths.
6. Living room, large enough for necessary parsonage entertaining.
7. A dining room is desirable, but where there is no dining room, the dining area should adjoin
the living room in a living-dining room combination.
Journal of Proceedings 241
A home study in the parsonage is a desirable option in addition to the church office-study.
It should have an outside entrance and be suitably equipped.
Garage with doors and/or carport.
0. Dry storage space large enough to accommodate such items as extra mattresses, furniture,
etc.
1. Adequate heating equipment and insulation, including storm windows and doors. Central
air-conditioning is recommended.
2. Adequate rotary TV antenna: The purpose of this recommendation is to save the roof of
the house from excessive wear due to moving antennas.
HE FURNISHINGS
he pastoral charge should provide:
. All heavy furnishings, including electric or gas cooking range, refrigerator with freezer
compartment, automatic hot water heater, automatic washing machine and dryer. A dish-
washer is a desirable option.
. Bedroom, dining room, and living room furniture.
. Good mattresses, floor covering, shades or blinds, curtains or draperies in all rooms.
. Some lamps and occasional tables.
. Note: Discarded furniture should not be put in the parsonage.
The minister's family should provide linens, blankets, pillows, baby beds, dishes, china,
rystal, silverware, cooking utensils, radio, TV, and other personal items which they desire.
'ARSONAGE GROUNDS
Parsonage grounds should have foundation shrubbery, shade trees, adequate yard space for
hildren, paved driveway and walks, and a power mower where there is a large lawn.
:are of property
A clean parsonage is much to be desired by all.
It is urged that a minister's family try to do periodic cleaning and keep the home as clean
ind attractive as possible.
Any abuse of the furnishings or house beyond normal wear should be the responsibility of
he parsonage family. It is recommended that pets should be kept out of doors. Any damage by
)ets is also the responsibility of the minister's family.
Walls and woodwork should be painted at least every four years, or more often if needed,
■specially in much-used rooms (kitchen, den, children's rooms) with care being taken by the
Sarsonage family to clean areas where a little cleanser can do the job. The expense of painting,
landing and refinishing floors, repairs, periodic pest extermination, cleaning of carpets and
iraperies, are expenses to be borne by the church.
It is the responsibility of the minister's family to leave the parsonage clean and in good
.ondition when he moves to another charge. As close to moving time as possible, each family
should wash windows, screens and window sills, and leave curtains, draperies, carpets, shades
ind blinds clean. Special attention should be given to closets, cabinets, and drawers. Bathrooms,
■citchens, storage rooms and attics should be clean. Mattresses and springs should be vacuumed
ind in good repair. Refrigerators and stoves as well as all other appliances should be clean and
in working order. Check light fixtures, exhaust fans, hot and cold air ducts to assure cleanliness.
The following information should be left by the pastor for his successor:
All guarantees, repair parts list, and instructions for use of equipment belonging to the
parsonage. He should indicate when and from whom equipment was purchased, and whom to
call for service. He should leave, also, a list of persons to call for various reasons, where to find
various items, and when and by whom various improvements were made.
THE PARSONAGE COMMITTEE
The parsonage committee should have a current inventory on parsonage furnishings. A
copy of this inventory should be given to the minister and the trustees of the parsonage
property. This inventory should include date of purchase of each item listed.
The parsonage committee should meet with the minister and his wife at least annually.
Needs should be discussed openly. Furnishings should be evaluated at this time to decide the
242 North Carolina Annual Conference
condition of pieces, to discard unacceptable items, check for needed repairs, and replace items
if needed.
The parsonage committee should recommend to the finance committee an amount to be
set aside each year, or included in the budget, for repairs and maintenance. An amount equal to
27. up to 57c of the parsonage value is suggested to be set aside each year to accumulate for
large repairs. The house should be kept well painted outside and inside, and should be checked
periodically for pest control.
When a minister moves, the parsonage committee should see that the lights, telephone,
and water are connected, taking care of a deposit for public utilities. The committee should
take care of the needs of the new minister's family as soon as possible, checking the house
before they arrive and checking with the family upon arrival.
BUILDING A NEW PARSONAGE
In all matters pertaining to the location and building of a parsonage, the DISCIPLINE
should be consulted.
Paragraphs 1436-37 of the 1972 DISCIPLINE give the procedure for building a parsonage.
In part, it states that the pastor and district superintendent shall give their written consent to
build or purchase a parsonage; that the District Board of Church Location and Building shall
approve of the proposed site; the building committee shall submit a statement of the need for
the proposed facilities and architectural plans and financial estimates and plans to the District
Board of Church Location and Building for consideration and approval. Paragraph 1403.2
pertains to acquiring the property.
Parsonage sites should be selected that will hold their value and be a wise investment.
Whenever a new parsonage is built, its many uses shoud be considered. As a rule, a parsonage
should be built, not bought. The type and cost of the house should be in keeping with the
homes of the community.
GENERAL STATEMENT
Ordinarily, the congregation likes to see the parsonage. Therefore it is suggested that "Open
House" be observed occasionally.
The slogan of the North Carolina Ministers' Wives Association is "Leave every parsonage
better than we find it." It is hoped that each minister's family will seek to maintain this goal.

DIVISION OF STEWARDSHIP
The purpose of the Division of Stewardship is "to interpret the biblical and theological basis for
stewardship consistent with the doctrines of The United Methodist Church and inform the church of
the same through educational channels and study materials." Discipline. 1022.
In September our Division participated in Responsibility Workshops to train local church
stewardship persons how to function with their local Council on Ministries and carry out their
responsibilities according to Guidelines For Stewardship.
A program for stewardship education in the local church was developed and tried at Pleasa
Grove Church near Raleigh with a high rate of success. It was entitled "A Christian Stewardship
Crusade" and approved by the Division for preparation in manual form for use in the local church
upon request.
Members of the Division were briefed in Richmond, Virginia of the new Commitment Plan as an
interdenominational tool for program planning, budgeting and pledging in the local church. The
Commitment Plan replaces the EMC materials. These materials on the Commitment Plan will be
available through Cokesbury in 1974. Plans have been laid for helping those churches who want to
use the new materials when they become available.
The Division operates on a point of view that every local church should employ the Commitment
Plan or the Christian Stewardship Crusade to supplement its stewardship emphasis in the church.
Various members of the Division have participated in the Conference and National events to
coordinate our program in stewardship with that of the general church.

DEPARTMENT OF GIFTS AND WILLS
June 1 -December 31, 1973
The department operates under the Division of Stewardship and has established a n^w program
entitled "Wills and Estate Planning Seminar" for local churches to inform them of what can be
done by persons who make wills and express some thought to charitable deferred giving to churches
and conference agencies through their will. A staff of volunteer leaders is being compiled to make
this program available to every local church upon request. During 1974 at least one church in eac'i
district is being asked to volunteer to conduct this program.
The Department of Gifts and Wills is not primarily a collecting agency of funds representing
proceeds from estates; however, it can and occasionally does function in a trust role and invests
funds in Methodist Foundation, Incorporated for administration according to the terms of the will.
Assets of over $1 18.000.00 from wills are on deposit in Methodist Foundation. Incorporated in
specific trust accounts which are administered according to the terms of each respective will. Most
wills that were solicited through our agency have been probated through local attorneys with
distributions to local churches and conference agencies outside of the Department of Gifts and
Wills.
246 North Carolina Annual Conference
Nearly $3,000.00 was paid out in scholarships and trust accounts representing interest on invested
funds. Ministerial scholarships are now available in small amounts upon application to the
Department of Gifts and Wills.
Brochures and pamphlets are distributed through the Coordinated Mailing and upon special
request to interpret the value of making wills and remembering God's work in one's will.
The department also stands ready to assist any local church to set up a local committee on wills to
strengthen this vital emphasis on the local level.

THE CONFERENCE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Annual meeting of the Conference Board of Trustees was held at 12:30 p.m. on June 5. at
Methodist College during the Annual Conference Session.
The financial statement as presented by the Conference Treasurer showed funds totaling
$443. 139.37 held by the board as of May 31. 1973. Income for the year was $26,177.99.
During the 7-months year, the Board of Trustees transferred to the Reserve Pension Fund the
sum of $340,000.00 with the understanding that this amount fulfills the obligation from the Trustees
Fund to the Board of Pensions for funds held in trust by the Trustees for the benefit of Conference
Claimants.
At the meeting of the Board in October 1973. Dr. Bruce Petteway. of Elizabeth City, was elected
Chairman of the Board, replacing Mr. Elisha M. Herndon of Durham, whose tenure on the Board
expired in June 1973. At this meeting the Board authorized the sale of the staff parsonage at 4712
Rampart Street in Raleigh and the purchase of another residence more in keeping with the
parsonage standards as recommended by the conference Parsonage Standards Committee. These
two transactions are proceeding on schedule. The new residence has been purchased and is being
furnished and made ready for occupancy by a Council on Ministries staff member in June 1974.
A new conference headquarters staff parsonage committee has been constituted consisting of Mr.
Marshall Hartsfield. Chairman, a Raleigh attorney and a member of the Conference Board of
Trustees; and Mrs. Helen Springer and Mrs. Rose Harrison both of Raleigh, appointed by the
Conference Council on Ministries.
Upon recommendation by the 1973 session of the Annual Conference, your Board of Trustees,
through the Conference Treasurer-Business Administrator, has pursued throughout the past year,
the matter of the General Church Insurance Program. Mr. McAdams, Treasurer-Business
Administrator, attended a General Church Insurance meeting in St. Louis in the fall of 1973 and
subsequently has had many conferences and negotiating sessions with the General Council on
Finance and Administration office; the Insurance underwriters; the Commissioner of Insurance for
the State of North Carolina and the North Carolina Fire Insurance Rating Bureau. We are happy to
report, following several months of negotiations, that on May 23, 1974, representatives of the j
Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company of New York, the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner's <
office and the North Carolina Fire Insurance Rating Bureau met in Raleigh to arrive at what is 1
hoped to be final approval of the program for North Carolina. We will communicate with all of the
charges of the conference when this program is finalized. We anticipate some final decision within j
the next week.
We have also successfully pursued another matter relative to the conference property. The 1973 j
session of the General Assembly of North Carolina passed legislation which would make the
Episcopal Residence, the Headquarters staff parsonages and the District parsonages subject to ad |j
valorem taxes. Mr. McAdams, working with the Attorney General's office. Senators Strickland of
Wayne County and Staton of Lee County, and The Reverend Collins Kilburn of the North Carolina j
Council of Churches, was successful in having the law re-written and ratified by the 1974 General
Assembly, thus removing these parsonages from the properties subject to ad valorem taxes as of
January 1. 1974.
The Methodist Building continues to be fully leased and your Board of Trustees during the past
year has endeavored to properly supervise and maintain this building and all other conference
property entrusted to our care.

Residence accounts have been reviewed by the Trustees, audited by the conference auditors and wi

I As of December 31. 1973, funds held by the Trustees as reported by the Conference Treasurer
Jotaled $130,570.62. At the annual meeting in June 1973, the Trustees authorized a loan to itself in
the amount of $29, 700.00 for financing the balance due on the new Episcopal Residence.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The seven months period from June through December 1973 was one of planning, training and
.»tud> for the newly organized United Methodist Women.
In June all Conference officers attended the Regional School at Lake Junaluska for training by
kVomen Division members and staff.
1 During the R and R weekend at Methodist College, all of the Executive Committee spent a day in
wilding community, planning and setting goals. We were guided by a member of the Women's
Division staff. Our first goal was to build the group into a team.
I United Methodist Women sent the Secretary to the meeting of Board of Global Ministries in New

METHODIST MINISTERS CREDIT UNION
REPORT TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE
June 5. 1974
Methodist Ministers Credit Union continues to grow not only in assets but in service. The latter
>ives meaning and purpose to the growth in assets.
The balance sheet for May 31. 1974 is given below for your information, but it is out of date today
secause change is always with us. At times the changes are sudden and drastic.
The steadfast loyalty of our members has been of such a quality that the sudden and drastic
hanges in the financial world about us have been less disruptive to our Credit Union than to many
bgencies serving the savings and lending needs of our population.
i When others have felt the shock and crunch of tight money, our shares have continued to grow.
[When other Credit Unions and savings institutions were suffering because funds were being
^withdrawn and shifted to sources of higher yield in 1973, insofar as we know not a dollar was
withdrawn to be invested elsewhere. Such support and loyalty is the Credit Union's way of putting
lervice above profit.
248 North Carolina Annual Conference
Since last Conference our Credit Union has entered an entirely new field of service. Our field of
membership has been redefined to include "Full-time employees 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."
Now we are ready to extend our hand of service not only to the employees of our present colleges,
homes and agencies, but to the employees of any new institution or agency of or related to our
Conference. It is now our purpose not only to serve the ministers and their families, as we have in the
past, but all other full-time lay employees of the institutions and agencies of our Conference.
Making Credit Union service available to these employees adds a new and significant fringe
benefit to their employment. We call upon all administrative personnel to help us make this new
service known. In response we promise to give the best service our abilities and resources will permit.
With the new potential in membership and service it seems appropriate to briefly describe some of
the basic functions of our Credit Union. We will confine this to three areas.
1. SAVINGS
2. LENDING
3. COUNSELING
Thrift should be a part of our way of life as employees of the church. We encourage it. We
recommend that you save some from your earnings for yourself after giving to the Lord His tithe.
At present we have two savings Programs:
A. SHARES
B. DEPOSITS
Share accounts make up out basic savings. Share are $5.00 each and every member must have at
least one share. Dividends are paid annually on December 31 on shares on record on that date.
Currently the dividend rate is 4.5%.
Shares earn life insurance for you, too, on the first $2,000.00 saved. From six (6) months of age to
age 55 the ratio of insurance and shares is dollar for dollar. At other ages the insurance ratio is less.
The insurance earned is determined by the age at the time of investment. Double indemnity
accidental loss of sight, and dimemberment to age 65 have been added to the basic life insurance
coverage.
Deposit accounts may be opened by members and non-members, laymen and churches can
invest in deposits. The initial deposit must be at least $100.00 and may be added to at anytime in any
amounts up to a total of $20,000.00 per account.
Deposits are investments. Deposits earn guaranteed interest (currently 5%) and are compounded
quarterly, but earn no life insurance. Members are required to have all insurable shares possible
before opening a deposit account.
Savings of either type may be withdrawn subject to limitation provided by law. There is no
penalty. Earnings are paid on the shares or deposits in the account at the end of the earning period.
Investments made by the tenth earn from the first of that month.
The second area of service is in lending. All loans are required by law to be for "provident or
productive purposes."
Our loans.are divided into two basic tvpes:
A. PERSONAL LOANS
B. ESTATE LOANS
Personal loans may be either secured or unsecured. Unsecured loans are signature or character
loans and are limited in size. Secured loans are those where collateral is pledged. These are limited
by our volume of shares, the value of collateral, and the ability of the borrower to repay. Personal
loans are made for consumer credit (purchase of cars, vacation, education, medical expense, debt
consolidation, etc.) and for the purchase of real estate.
Interest on all these loans is 12% APR the same as it was in 1960. We do not discount interest.
You pay for the exact amount of money you use for the exact number of days you use it.
Estate Loans are made only for the purpose of buying shares. The interest rate currently is 6%
APR. Shares purchased by an Estate Loan are limited to $2,000.00, but may be in smaller amounts.
All these loans are limited to a term of 36 months or less.
The dividends you earn on your shares purchased by such a loan are more over the period of
thirty-six months than the interest paid on the loan.
Insurable loans of all kinds are insured against death and total and permanent disability without
added cost to the borrower. There is no insurance fee added here for the basic coverage
Temporary disability coverage is available at the creditor's option and expense-never more than
Journal of Proceedings 249
SH.W) per thousand tor 12 months, $17.24 tor 24 months, or $27.02 tor 36 months.
The third area of service is counseling. Counsel concerning financial problems and needs is
available without tee and is always aimed at your best interest. There is no profit motive to
determine the counsel given. Sen ice to you. the member, is the gu ig force.
The assets shown in this balance sheet represents your investmeir in these important services to
you and vour fellow members. We must double these resources in she shortest possible time. The
need is great. Let us make our response swift and generous.

RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
THE NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
BIBLICAL BASIS
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has annointed me to preach good news to the
>oor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to
et at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke
:18-19)
Against this Biblical background, we affirm the following basic assumptions with regard to
conomic development as an aspect of Christian mission:
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
. Christian mission is concerned with the redemption and fulfillment of whole persons in
community.
. Economic development is a legitimate goal of Christian Mission and a legitimate function of
the Christian Church when and insofar as it is pursued as an aspect of human and com-
; munity development.
. Human development means self-fulfillment, dignity and self-determination.
;. Community development requires justice and cooperation.
i. Any economic development program of the Church must be beamed to persons and groups
I suffering from poverty and injustice without regard for race or ethnic backbround.
In view of this basic assumption, the committee recommends the following goals:
DE VELOP A WARENESS
Most of the people in our churches reveal little awareness either of the extent or the depth
of poverty in our midst or of the mandate of our Gospel to be in mission to the poor and
the oppressed. We expect to develop programs which will cultivate such awareness.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
As awareness grows commitment will follow. But effective commitment requires training in
the ways of helpfulness. Too often in the past our well-meaning efforts have been counter-
productive because of paternalistic attitudes or ill-advised procedures. We will train leaders
to equip them for effective support of community-based, self-help efforts of the poor.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Among our constituency there are many persons who possess technical skills which are
desperately needed by the low income people's groups who are trying to help themselves
economically. We will recruit such persons and provide a linkage between them and the
groups who desire to utilize their service.
MARKETING ASSISTANCE
Many self-help groups are producing commodities which could readily be sold through
church channels. Marketing is one of their major problems. We encourage exploring the
possibilities of creating a marketing network among our churches for such cooperatively
made products.
FINANCIAL AID
Poor people's self-help efforts lack access to the usual channels of business credit. Their very
poverty makes capital accumulation difficult. In the start-up phase, they need grants and
loans. We will canvass all possibilities of financial assistance to self-help efforts of low-
income people, including Advance Specials, Fund for Reconciliation, special contributions
260 North Carolina Annual Conference
from local churches and churchmen, National Division funding, etc. We will seek to be aware
of the various governmental assistance programs and seek to enable persons to benefit from
them.
Membership of the Joint Committee is as follows:

Mrs. Clarence Cade, Secretary M. Dewey Tyson
George W. Johnson Jack L. Hunter

Report of the Bishops' Call for Peace
and the Self-Development of Peoples
At the 1972 session of the General Conference, the United Methodist Church authorized the
implementation of a call throughout the United Methodist Church for peace andj
self-development. "On the basis of our personal relationship to Christ every United Methodist is
urged to relate his or her commitments and lifestyle to the quest for world peace and the
self-development of peoples." Part of that call was the instruction to each Annual Conference
of the United Methodist Church to implement the Bishops' Call, "developing its own initiatives
and utilizing its distinctive opportunities and expertise. Annual conferences are also encouraged
to initiate and enter into cooperative ecumenical programs designed to increase public
awareness and stimulate concerted action for world peace and human development. Annual
conferences are urged to review critically program priorities and investment policies in the light
of the Bishops' Call."
In complying with the dictates of the General Conference, Bishop Robert M. Blackburn
appointed the Bishops' Task Force for Peace and the Self-Development of peoples for the
North Carolina Annual Conference. According to the instructions of the General Conference,
the Bishops' Task Force is not a programming agency, but is to act as a catalytic agency, a
resource agency and a support agency for programming boards and agencies in order to enable
them to fulfill the concerns of the Bishops' Call in their respective agencies.
The North Carolina Conference Task Force as appointed by Bishop Blackburn has been at
work throughout the year, and makes the following recommendation to the 1974 session of the
North Carolina Annual Conference:
We respectfully request the boards and agencies of the Conference to incorporate two j
concerns in their programs:
1. That there be a concerted effort on the part of the programming boards and agencies to.)
bring before the constituents of the North Carolina Conference the problem of amnesty. Our j
hope is that the total concerns of amnesty, the pros and the cons, and the Christian :
conscience be brought to bear upon this problem, and that wherever possible commitments i
to action may be initiated.
2. That the North Carolina Conference programming boards and agencies involve themselves ,
by being educated about the problems of migrant labor, and that constructive programs be !
initiated throughout the Conference to help meet the needs of migrant laborers, to find new
ways to better their living and working conditions, enabling them to live their lives more j
fully as God intended.
3. The Task Force also recommends that the North Carolina Conference be a participant in a !
Tri-Conference Convocation with the Western North Carolina and South Carolina
Conferences to be held April 20th, 21st, and 22nd, 1975, at First United Methodist Church,
Charlotte, North Carolina. Each District of the three areas will be asked to send a team of
Journal of Proceedings 261
five people, including the District Superintendent, to be trained to go back into their
Districts to help develop programs and actions in the local churches. This will be one of the
most significant experiences of this type to be held by the United Methodist Church in the
Carolinas.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE ON EQUALIZATION OF
CONFERENCE MEMBERSHIP
The Committee on Equalization of Conference Membership recommends to the 1974 Session
of the North Carolina Annual Conference that the following Lay persons be made voting Lay
Members in the Annual Conference in order to equalize the number of Lay Members with the
number of Clerical Members.
All Lay Chairpersons of Conference Boards & Divisions.
All Lay Members of General Boards.
All Lay Members seated and all Reserve Members.
in attendance for the majority of the time at the
latest session of the General Conference.
All Lay Members seated and all Reserve Members
in attendance for the majority of the time at the
latest session of the Jurisdictional Conference.
All District Lay Leaders
All District Presidents of United Methodist Women.
One additional youth/young adult member from each District to be selected by the rules presently
abided bv.
The additional Lay Members needed w'll be selected by local charges on the basis of
membership as listed in the latest publisher. Conference Journal. All charges with a membership
above a determined number will have one additional lay member. The number of members
required for a charge to have an additional lay member will be determined by the number of lay
members needed to fulfill the quota for the Conference. For example, if 50 lay Members are
needed to fill the formula the 50 charges with he largest membership having only one lay
Member from the charge lay membership would each be eligible to elect a second member. The
Lay Members to General and Jurisdictional Conference shall be Lay Members to Annual
Conference at the Conference following their election. In case a Lay Member does not attend
General or Jurisdictional Conference the Reserve Member seated takes his seat. The Conference
lay leader will be responsible for seeing that this formula is implemented each year.

One or more dependent children 6,700
Married 6,500
Single 6,300 j
B. Special Recommendations:
1. Travel allowance is based on the distance of a student's parsonage from the school he jj
attends. When the parsonage is 25 miles or less, it shall be $100; when the parsonage is more j
than 25 miles but less than 50 miles, it shall be $200; when the parsonage is at least 50 miles j
but less than 75 miles, it shall be $300; when the parsonage is at least 75 miles but less than 100
miles, it shall be $400; and when the parsonage is 100 miles or more from the school, $500
shall be maximum travel allowance. One half of the travel allowance will be made available
between September 1 and December 31 and the other half between January 1 and April 30.
The Commission requests permission from the Annual Conference to make such adjustments in
Equitable Salary schedules for the fiscal year 1975 as the availability of funds may necessitate.
2. Retired Supply Pastors: $3,500 (including travel and utilities).
3. Part-time Supplies: Ministers of any status who are serving part-time will receive income |
from Equitable Salary funds, if any, on a basis negotiated with the church, the pastor, the j
District Superintendent, and the Equitable Salary Commission.
1 1. Principles Governing the Use of Equitable Salary Funds
The Commission urges each charge receiving Equitable Salary funds, its minister, and District
Superintendents so to administer the affairs of the charge that it may move as rapidly as
possible toward full financial support.
To enable the conference, the commission, and the superintendents to carry on their j:
cooperative efforts in understanding, harmony, and for the greatest good for all concerned, the j
following principles and procedures are set forth:
1 . The family or marital status of the pastor at the time of assignment to the charge and as of j
January 1 shall govern the amount paid the minister.
Any monies remaining in the operating balance and/or allowable contingency ot the Equitable j
Salary Funds at the end of the fiscal year shall be divided equally among the full-time lay pastors j
receiving Equitable Salary supplement as a bonus at Christmas, provided that no one shall receive j
funds to make their total income more than that of the conference member receiving Equitable
Salary Funds. Any residue of these funds remaining shall be divided among the student pastors as
travel bonus, as determined by the Equitable Salary commission. The permission granted to the
Commission in the last sentence of I. B. 1 shall not be used to defeat the intent of this nrovision.
2. In considering the salary for a charge, all income, including salary, travel, utilities, bonuses,
and expense allowances are included as salary in the making up of appropriations to the charge. I
All contributions must be reported, so that all ministers involved may be treated alike.
3. No charge may receive from Equitable Salary more than one-third of the total salary |j
received with the exception of newly-established congregations. Charges must be arranged so ,j
that no more than one-third of the total salary be supplemented from Equitable salary funds, j!
Charges asking for more than one-third supplement must make an additional application, '•
indicating the reasons for being given special consideration.
4. Beginning at the 1974 Annual Conference, full-time Pastoral Charges of less than 400 j
members, in order to receive Equitable Salary funds, must appear before a committee from ji
Equitable Salary before September 10 and show cause why supplementary funds must be made
available for that charge. Creation of circuits and/or charges should be on the basis of mutual |
agreement by all churches on the circuit rather than simply from the desire of the larger church .
to withdraw for its own benefit and advancement.
5. In the division of circuits in which one church seeks to become a station, it is I
recommended that such church assume all salary obligations and its proportionate share of j|
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 recommends 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 inform all charges receiving aid or expecting to receive aid in ,
Journal of Proceedings 263
the future of this regulation. This requirement must be kept in mind in preparing for
any requests.
c. When a charge has been established as a student appointment and desires to be
served by a full-time minister, this change may take place at such time as the charge
shall pay two-thirds of the amount needed to provide such full-time ministerial
support and shall agree to reduce the aid by 10 percent each year.
d. When there is a division of a charge forming one or more student appointments,
the charge must pay two-thirds of said salary.
6. When a new church is to be established and becomes a new charge, the District Superin-
tendent shall present for study the complete details of the proposed project not later than May
1. These details shall be presented by them to the Conference Division of Missions and the
Commission on Equitable Salaries. If such new church is approved by the Division and Commis-
sion, the Commission shall provide Equitable Salary assistance and the Division shall supple-
ment the salary to make it adequate, and shall assist the new charge in providing living quarters
for the minister and a place to meet and worship. It shall be understood that each year the new
charge shall accept more of the budget until it becomes self-supporting. We recommend that
each new church shall become self-supporting in a period of ten years or less.
NOTE: Exception will be made if the charge has made a reasonable effort to become
self-supporting and is willing and able to increase its salary by at least $300 annually,
to increase its one-figure askings proportionately, and to reach full support within
five additional years.
7. Any equitable salary supplement will be terminated immediately upon a full-time pastor's
Itaking 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.

SOME PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES
FOR BUDGETARY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
THE COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND
ADMINISTRATION AND THE COUNCIL ON MINISTRIES
(Adopted by the Executive Committee of the Council on Finance and
Administration and The Budget Committee of The Council on Ministries during a
joint meeting of these two committees on February 7, 1974.)
Basic Assumptions: (Quotes are from The Discipline)
A.The Council on Finance and Administration has a supportive relationship with the Council
on Ministries as well as with all other agencies authorized to receive funds from the North
Carolina Conference.
B.The Council on Finance and Administration has the responsibility for preparing the
Conference benevolence budget which "includes those conference allocations and
expenditures directly associated with the program, mission and benevolent causes of Annual
Conference program agencies and institutions." In fulfilling this function, CFA "shall make a
diligent and detailed study of the needs of all the conference agencies and causes asking to be
included in the budget of any conference fund. The chairperson of each conference agency,
or other duly authorized representative shall have opportunity to represent the claims of the
chairperson's agency before the council."
"In preparing the conference benevolence budget, the Council shall make diligent effort to
secure full information regarding all conference benevolence and service causes that none
may be neglected, jeopardized, or excluded. In studying the requests of conference program
agencies for allocations from the conference benevolence budget, the council shall seek and
consider the recommendations of the Annual Conference Council on Ministries regarding the
askings of such agencies as they relate to conference program priorities. Basing its the Annual
Conference for its action and determination the total amount to be apportioned for the
conference budget; the council shall also recommend to the Annual Conference for its action
and determination the amount or the percentage of the total of the conference benevolence
budget which shall be apportioned to each cause included in the said budget."
C. The Annual Conference Council on Ministries "receives program recommendations . . ; devel-
ops these recommendations into a coordinated program to be recommended to the Annual
Conference ..." and provides "implementation for and administration of the coordinated
program as adopted by the conference."
D.One of the functions of the Council on Ministries is to "study and coordinate the budget
askings of the conference agencies as they relate to the conference program and to make
recommendations regarding the same to the Council on Finance and Administration ..."
On the basis of the above assumptions and administrative order as set forth in The Discipline,
the following guidelines are recommended:
1. Early in January, prior to each regular session of the Annual Conference, the Council on
Ministries shall receive from the various program agencies and causes budget askings to be
included in the conference budget to be voted upon in the following June session of the
Journal of Proceedings 265
Annual Conference. These budget items include all those now carried in the Conference
budget under the heading: "World Service and Conference Benevolences," excluding
World Service.
The Council on Ministries shall study, coordinate, and make recommendations concerning
these budgets in relation to the program priorities of the Conference. The Council on
Ministries may make recommendations to increase or decrease any or all of these budgets
prior to presenting them to the Council on Finance and Administration. In making budget
recommendations, the Council on Ministries should always keep in mind that, traditionally
speaking, the charges of our conference, on an average, have not been accepting more than
a 3 to 8 percent increase over the preceding years. (The average increase over the past 5
years has been 5.72%.)
2. By March 1, the Council on Finance and Administration shall receive from all conference
agencies and causes, including the Council on Ministries, their budget requests to be
raised the following year. A minimum of 25 copies of the composite budget of C.O.M.
shall be received indicating:
(1) budget amount requested by each agency or cause;
(2) recommendation or request from C.O.M. for each program agency or cause. The
composite budget shall be accompanied by detailed information concerning each
of the component budgets so that C.F.A. may have in hand basic information
helpful in fulfilling the function requirement of the Discipline as referred to in
Assumption B above.
3. In March (date to be announced each year) C.F.A. will hold budget hearings at which
time the C.O.M. budget will be presented by those persons as directed by C.O.M. keeping
in mind that the Chairperson of any conference agency, or duly authorized representa-
tive, shall have opportunity to represent the claims of said agency before C.F.A. if they
so desire. C.F.A. expects if the latter is true, that this presentation would be made with
the knowledge, cooperation and support of C.O.M.
4. If, after reviewing trie requests from all conference agencies and causes, C.F.A. deter-
mines that the total askings (budget requests) exceed the amount likely to be approved
by the Annual Conference and subsequently the charges, C.F.A. will proceed to adjust
the total budget downward. In this process, C.F.A. will refer back to C.O.M. that portion
of the total requested by C.O.M. in order that they may make the necessary adjustments
in relation to conference program priorities in order to bring that portion of the budget
in line with the total necessary reduction.
This procedure could involve an extra meeting for C.O.M. and C.F.A. or a committee of
each. An alternative might be for C.O.M. at the time of the budget hearings, to provide
C.F.A. with some priorities or direction in approaching the matter of necessary reduc-
tions if such were needed.
5. After the budget is finalized following either of the above alternatives, it will be pub-
lished in the Book of Recommendations and subquently voted upon by the Annual
Conference.
6 The budget as adopted by the Annual Conference shall then be apportioned to the
charges by the Single Figure-Fail Share formula. These apportionments will be given to
the District Superintendents prior to July 15. The Superintendents will in turn pass them
on to the charges prior to their fall E.M.C. efforts.
7 Following the charge conferences and not later than November 15, the District Superin-
tendents will report the acceptances to C.F.A. If after compiling these acceptances, it is
determined that the acceptances are short of the adopted budget, C.F.A. will make the
necessary adjustments and finalize the budget to be raised the following year. If it
becomes necessary to adjust the budget downward, C.F.A. will follow the same proce-
dure as in #4 above as the adjustments relate to C.O.M.
8. Under our budgeting system of raising some funds one year and spending them the next
year it is not always possible to anticipate two years in advance the exact needs. To
compensate for this uncertainty, we use supplementary appropriations, the funds for
which are derived from earnings on central funds, and a small amount from the contin-
gency fund in the Conference budget. .
9. Requests for Supplementary appropriations may be made in writing to the Chairman ot
266 North Carolina Annual Conference
C.F.A. at any time during the year or personally to C.F.A. at the time of any of its
meetings during the year. These requests will normally be acted upon during the meeting
following the request unless there is some definite reason for the decision being post-
poned. C.F.A. expects that such requests from program agencies or causes will be cleared
through and coordinated with the Director of the Conference Council on Ministries and
does not presume to suggest specific procedures to be used by C.O.M.
10.C.F.A. will expect that any other conference program budget matters not covered in
these guidelines will be studied and coordinated by C.O.M. through whatever method it
deems appropriate prior to presentation for consideration by C.F.A.
11. In conclusion it should be understood that C.F.A. desires to be supportive of all confer-
ence budgetary needs and accepts with humility the tremendous stewardship responsibili-
ty which is ours. We also desire to act responsibly, without prejudice and with fairness to
all, realizing that at no time will there ever be all the funds necessary to accomplish
everything which everyone desires to do.
In addition to the above guidelines, the Council on Finance and Administration further
recommends that immediately after adoption of the budget by the Council on Finance
and Administration at the March meeting each year, copies of the budget be placed in the
hands of all conference agencies included in the budget. At least 10 days after these
budgets are mailed and prior to May 20, any agency, board or commission representatives
may appear before a called appellate session of the Council on Finance and Administra-
tion to appeal any matters or amounts contained in the proposed budget. Persons wishing
to appear before this session of C.F.A. should let their wishes be known at least within
15 days after receiving the copy of the budget in order that C.F.A. may make the
necessary arrangements for the called session. If no appeals or concerns are expressed,
C.F.A. may not need to meet for this session.

REPORT OF THE DIVISION OF
HEALTH AND WELFARE MINISTRIES
I. RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . That commendation be expressed for the work of Chaplain Wesley Aitken and his staff in
the chaplaincy program at Duke Medical Center and that we continue our support of this
270 North Carolina Annual Conference
program in the amount of $5,500 for the year.
2. That recognition be given for the work with alcoholics by the Reverend J.C. Dunn in the •
Good Shepherd Home at Lake Waccamaw, N.C., and that we continue our support in the
amount of $2,500 for the year.
3. That we commend the Reverend Vassar W. Jones and the Louisburg United Methodist
Church for the work they have done in connection with the training center for the
retarded. We further recommend that others use this as a guide for establishing this type
of program.
4. Following a study made jointly by leaders of our conference with the Western North
Carolina Conference, and with the assistance of the North Carolina Council on Mental
Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, we recommend that each local church find :
some area where it can give assistance to the mentally retarded. We make the following
suggestions of places to begin:
a. Space for day care centers for mentally retarded
b. Youth and adult activities
c. Sunday School classes for all ages
d. Camping program enlarged
e. Protective community living settings
f. Planning and advocacy for those with special needs (For further information on these :
suggestions, contact Reverend Simeon Cummings, Coordinator of Outreach Ministries
in our Methodist Building in Raleigh)
II. GOLDEN CROSS COMMITTEE
1. The committee recommends the continuation of the Golden Cross Ministry.
2. We further recommend that the daily allowance for Golden Cross assistance be $35 per
day during the 1975 conference year. (Any minister desiring information about Golden
Cross aid should contact his district representative of the Division of Health and Welfare
Ministries).
IIL RETIREMENT HOME COMMITTEE
1. The committee requests the bishop to appoint the Reverend Joseph F. Coble to be
administrator of the Retirement home tor me conference year 1974-75, and the Kever-
end LaFon C. Vereen as administrative assistant.
2. That the week of Mother's Day be reserved as a period for publicizing and promoting the
Church's ministry to the senior citizens through the Methodist Retirement Home, and
that other interests and causes not be permitted to encroach upon or conflict with the
traditional emphasis.
3. Questions have been asked as to how the money given to our Home through our single
figure asking is used: "We would report to the Annual Conference that the money given
each year to our Methodist Retirement Home is used to supplement the income of the
Home for those members who cannot pay their entire cost. If this money were not
available, then our Home would be forced to accept only those who can pay their entire
expenses. The number of persons of limited income served by our Home is determined
by the giving of our Annual Conference."
IV. CHILDREN'S HOME COMMITTEE
1 . The committee requests the bishop to appoint Dr. T. Marvin Vick to be the administra-
tor, and the Reverend James M. Waggoner to be chaplain for the 1974-75 Conference
Year.

publicizing and promoting the Church's ministry to children through the Methodist
Home for Children, and that other causes not be permitted to encroach upon or conflict
with the traditional emphasis.
V. LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE
1. The request came to the division from the Board of Trustees of the Methodist Retire-
ment Home as follows: 'That the Annual Conference authorize The Methodist Homes,
Inc. to sponsor a Home in Edenton and to seek for sources of funds with construction to
begin when funding is available."

INSURANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
Report No. 1
The Insurance programs of this conference provide a valuable service to the ministers and
ministers families. These programs also represent significant financial costs to the charge and
to the ministers. With an acute awareness of these factors, The Insurance Committee undertakes
its duties.
BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HOSPITAL INSURANCE
We recommend that the Hospital Insurance Plan now in effect with North Carolina Blue
Cross Blue Shield be continued until the anniversary date for renewal, January 1, 1976. The
benefits of this policy continue at the present scale; along with:
1 . Major Medical
2. Coverage for students until his 26th birthday or graduation.
We recommend that the premium payments continue under the present arrangement, that is,
the local church making each quarterly premium payment in the amount of $107.43 for family,
$38.16 for a single person and $75.36 for parent and one child: and that each minister make an
additional quarterly premium payment of $22.02 for a family, or $7.65 for a single person, or
$15.90 for a married person with one child.
272 North Carolina Annual Conference
We propose this premium payment schedule because it has enabled our conference to
stablize the premium rates. January 1, 1972 we had a deficit account of $68,923.15, even
though a rate increase of 104% had gone in effect the previous June. As of January 1 , 1974 this
entire deficit had been liquidated, and there was $7,145.21 held in reserve. If our experience
continues in this way, a rate decrease may be in order next year.
GROUP TERM LIFE INSURANCE
We recommend that the pesent Group Term Life Insurance policy with Fidelity and
Guaranty Life Insurance Company be continued until the anniversary date for renewal, January
1, 1976. We further recommend that the coverage be the same, and that premiums be paid by
the local church.
The average age of our ministers has increased to 49.8 years. This increased average age
justifies a rate increase of $2.10 per quarter. Therefore, we recommend that this $2.10 per
quarter for the July 1, 1974 and October 1, 1974 be paid by the Insurance Committee from
Cash Refund Receipts. Beginning January 1, 1975 the $2.10 quarterly increase be paid by the
local church. This will make the quarterly premiums $25.74 for a minister with family and
$24.00 for a single minister.
DELINQUENT PREMIUM PAYMENTS
One of the disturbing aspects of our Insurance program has been the delinquency in premi-
um payments; some by ministers and few by churches. The conference treausrer has given an
excessive amount of time in an effort to collect these unpaid premiums. The Insurance Commit-
tee has authorized the treasurer to enforce the terms of the Insurance Contracts. These terms
require that any premiums that are not paid, by the time the payment to the Insurance
Company is due-those who are delinquent in their premium payments will have their insurance
coverage terminated immediately
The minister of the charge and the District Superintendent must be notitied 10 days prior to the
termination of the policy, by First Class mail as to the payment delinquency of the charge and/or
the minister.
LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR CHURCH GROUPS
The Chanbley Insurance Agency of Raleigh, North Carolina has a blanket liability insurance
program that is available on a conference basis, which permits each church in the conference to
participate. This policy provides health and accident coverage for any church group that is
involved in a church sponsored outing or activity. The master contract for the entire conference
is $25.00 per year. For any church planning an outing that will last over 3 days the costs are $
.12 per day, per person; if the activity is less than 3 days, the cost is $ .08 per day, per person.
A church participating, sends the list of names of the persons participating in the event and
premium payments, before the outing begins Participation in this plan is voluntary.
We recommend the implementation of this plan. We recommend that the $25.00 be paid by
reserve funds held by The Insurance Committee.
Report No. 2
The Insurance Committee was asked to conduct a study as to the feasibility of providing a
Blue Cross Blue Shield Hospital Insurance Program for lay employees of the local church. This
study was made with the following results:
530 questionnaires were sent to local churches
381 charges responded to the questionnaire
321 charges had no eligible employees
60 charges had eligible employees
46 charges had eligible employees and were interested in the insurance
Based on these facts, Blue Cross Blue Shield declined to organize a group for lay employees.
Report No. 3
The General Church, has a property insurance policy, which has been publicized throughout
the entire United Methodist Church.
The insurance laws of the State of North Carolina prohibit this policy being sold in this
state. The Conference Trustees are keeping up with the developments pertaining to this insur-
Journal of Proceedings 273
ance. As soon as this insurance becomes available lor our state, each charge will be informed.
Norwood Jones, Chairperson
REPORT OF DIVISION OF MINISTRY
REPORT I
"The ordained ministry of the United Methodist Church cherishes its origin in the Christian
tradition and in the Wesley an heritage from which it has come. It seeks obedience to the Holy
Spirit through cooperative efforts to perfect a ministry for the whole church. It faces the future
eager to share new understandings and forms of the ministry which may be revealed." (Para.
304, 1972 Book of Discipline)
The Division of Ministry believes its reason for being is to encourage, to guide, and to
maintain appropriate standards for ordained ministers and lay pastors as they equip themselves
for ministry in various areas of the United Methods Church. Recognizing the emphasis of
our church upon an educated ministry and seeking to encourage ministers to honor this goal,
the Division of Ministry recommends to the Annual Conference that the minimum educational
requirement for Associate Membership in the North Carolina Annual Conference be an A.B.
Degree, or its equivalent, from an accredited college and that this requirement be made for
those seeking admission as Associate Members at the 1976 Annual Conference and each subse-
quent Annual Conference.
We urge each local church to observe Ministry Sunday on September 15 1974 (or the
nearest convenient date) to focus attention on the Pastoral Ministry. We encourage each rrrmis-
ter to use this occasion and others to share with his people his sense of call to the ministry. If
there is joy and excitement in the parish ministry, it ought to be communicated. If there is not,
it will be communicated.
We call attention to the Ministerial Education Fund as a special opportunity to assist
students preparing for the parish ministry. We urge all churches to keep alive the goal of paying
in full their apportionment to the Ministerial Education Fund. Should sufficient funds become
available there are some exciting opportunities in the area of Continuing Education
We call to the attention of all clerical members of the Annual Conierence, including those
under Special Appointment, the importance placed upon attendance at Annual Conference in
paragraph 660.6 of the 1972 Book of Discipline, part of which reads: "Should any minister in
active service absent himself from the session of the Annual Conference without a satisfactory
reason for the absence, the matter shall be referred by the conference secretary to the Division
of Ministry."

iECTION D. The Conference Board of Pensions has been notified of a revision in the RULES AND
REGULATIONS of the General Board of Pensions concerning Disability Legislation.
Some of the changes which affect our conference are recorded here.
I 129 Subject to the provisions of this Section, disability benefits shall be paid to a minister who is
granted disability leave, if at the time the disability occurred such minister was serving
under appointment with pension credit on the Annual Conference or under special appoint-
ment with contributions being made to the Disability and Survivor Benefit Fund as pro-
vided under P. 225, if medical evidence shall have been secured and reviewed as required in
P. 357.3 or .4 of the Book of Discipline, and if it appears from such medical reports that his
or her health has failed as a result of illness or injury such that the minister is incapacitated
for ministerial work and the support of his or her family for a period of at least 180 days.
I 129-b ... at the discretion of the Conference Board of Pensions if benefits are to be paid by the
Annual Conference, benefits MAY be continued to a minister who received disability ben-
efits during the entire calendar year 1974 under previous regulations even though he or she
may not have been under appointment with pension credit on the Annual Conference at the
time disability occurred, and the amounts of such benefits MAY be continued on the same
basis as those being paid during calendar year 1 974.
P. 130 While receiving disability benefits, a minister may at any time be required, by the General
Board of Pensions or by the Joint Committee on Disability, to have an examination by a
medical doctor approved by the General Board or the Joint Committee and/or to authorize
his or her medical doctor or doctors to provide any required information, to the . . . Joint
Committee on Disability on a form to be provided by the General Board of Pensions if
benefits are being paid by the Annual Conference.
P. 131. blf disability benefits are to be paid by the Annual Conference, the Conference Board of
Pensions, after recommendation to it by the Joint Committee on Disability, shall have full
authority to determine eligibility for benefits, amounts of such benefits, and dates of their
282 North Carolina Annual Conference
beginning and discontinuance, provided that the annual disability benefit payable to a
minister shall not exceed one-third of the average salary of the conference of which he or
she is a member. The Conference Board of Pensions shall report to the General Board of
Pensions all disability benefits approved by the conference board, indicating exact amounts
and for what specific periods and other information as required by the General Board. It is
recommended that benefits for total disability be the equivalent of one-third of the average
salary, but in the event years of service are used in the formula for determining the amount,
then years with pension credit in other conferences shall be counted the same as years in the
conference of which the minister is a member.
P. 132-b If a minister who is receiving disability benefits from the Annual Conference recovers suffi-
ciently to engage in a remunerative occupation, the disability benefits may be reduced or
terminated by the Conference Board of Pensions at its discretion.
P. 133 A minister receiving disability benefits during the conference year in which he attains age
sixty-five may continue to receive such benefits only through June 30 next following his
sixty-fifth birthday if the final day of the regular session of his or her Annual Conference
falls in the month of May or June; ....
P. 134 While on disability leave, a minister shall receive pension credit during such leave up to a
maximum of fifteen years.
P. 135-b At the discretion of the Conference Board of Pensions, any or all provisions of P. 129-133
(except P. 129-a) in Section D of this Chapter may be applied to a lay pastor under appoint-
ment who. at the time disability occurs, shall have completed at least four consecutive years
of service with pension credit in one Annual Conference, and who at the time disability
occurs is not a currently participating member of the Ministers Reserve Pension Fund, any
benefits so determined to be provided by the Annual Conference whose Board of Pensions
determines such benefits.
P. 225-b Subject to the approval of and by special arrangement with the General Board of Pensions
in each case, a ministerial member of an Annual Conference who is under appointment
without pension credit on the conference or who is in the supernumerary relation may be
afforded the disability and survivor benefit protections of the Disability and Survivor
Benefit Fund, by an annual contribution to that Fund in an amount equal to 2% of the
average salary of the Annual Conference of which the minister is a member, such payment
to be made either by such minister, his or her Annual Conference, or the institution or
agency to which he or she is appointed according to a schedule of payment to be determined
by the General Board of Pensions; ....
We also call attention to a recent ruling which in some cases permits Exclusion of Disability Pension
from being considered as "Taxable Income". It is suggested that you call this to the attention of
your tax consultant, of ruling 105(d) and make use of forms 1040X or for 834 to claim eligible
income exclusion on Disability Income.

REPORT II
HOUSING EXCLUSION ALLOWANCE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DOCUMENT NO. 5045 (10-67) DECLARES:
"Rental Value of Home Furnished a Clergyman, and cost of utilities paid for him, as part;
of his compensation for carrying out his duties as a clergyman, are not income to him, if he is ^
duly ordained, licensed, or commissioned."
"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 services in carrying out his duties as all
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 compensa-
tion for services is excludable from his gross income under Section 107 (1) of the Code. Also, f
the rental allowance paid to him as part of his compensation for past services is excludable
undei 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) I
for its ministers, or in instances where no parsonage is owned by the charge, giving the minister
a housing allowance, and
Whereas, Retired Ministers of the North Carolina Conference are entitled 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 j
means of rental allowance ;
Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the amount of $2750.00 per year be set as a fair and j
reasonable rental allowance for each Retired Minister of this annual conference; that the first
$2750.00 paid to a Retired Minister each year by The Board of Pensions of The North Carolina '
Conference of the United Methodist Church and $2100.00 of this is designated as the payment '
of this Housing Allowance and $650.00 for Utility Allowance. The Housing Allowance is j
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 j
stated in Document 5045 (10-67).
Journal of Proceedings 297
|j The Board of Pensions emphasize that the Retired Minister who uses this Housing Allow-
llce must be able to furnish proof that he made expenditures in the amounts claimed. If the
I S2750.00 cannot be substantiated as expenditures, then claim should be made only for
Hose amounts which can be verified.
I We also remind the minister who uses this allowance, that the amount he claims as a
ousing Allowance exclusion must be included as Income in reporting his Social Security. It is
ossible that reduced Social Security benefits would offset any claims for the Housing Allow-
foce 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
evenue Service disallows any housing allowance claimed.

REPORT NO. Ill
Ministers Retirement Fund Constitution
The annual conference adoption of The Single Figure Askings and the change of the fiscal year
ffectsthe Constitution of the Ministers Retirement Fund. Therefore, we recommend the following
evisions in the constitution. (See pages 299 and 300 of the 1970 Journal. )
• I. Assessments: This section now reads: "Each charge in the conference shall be required to pay
nto the Ministers' Retirement Fund annually an amount equal to 1.12% of the Charge Single
tigure Asking for each minister under episcopal appointment to that charge."
We recommend this section to be changed so that it reads: "Each charge in the conference shall
>e required to pay into the Ministers' Retirement Fund annually an amount equal to 1% of the
'onference average salary as determined by The General Board of Pensions for each minister under
•piscopal appointment to that charge."
1 Under paragraph 2 of this section, it reads: "Each minister shall pay into the fund one per cent
1%) of all money he receives each year from the. charge he is serving, or conference
[ources . . . etc."
We recommend this be revised, so that it reads: "Each minister shall pay into the fund one per
:ent (1%) of all money he receives each year from the charge or charges he is serving and/or
;onference sources . . . etc."
I II. Deadline for Receipt of Payments: This paragraph now reads: "Each charge and each
hiember of the fund shall submit the required payment no later than the last day of the month
following the month in which the North Carolina Conference meets. The Treasurer shall notify all
members that this payment is due. This notice shall be made not later than 30 days before the
Annual Conference session convenes. Payments made after this date will be credited to the charge
and the account of the minister making the payment. However, this delayed payment extends the
benefit payments for one year, if he has been a member less than 10 years. If the minister has been a
member over 10 years, he will collect no dividends for the year or years of the delayed payment(s)."
We recommend this section be revised so that it reads: "The fiscal year of the annual conference
shall be the same as that of the annual conference fiscal year; January 1 through December 31. Each
member of the fund shall submit the required payment no later than January 31 of each year. The
Conference Treasurer shall notify all members that this payment is due. This notice shall not be
made later than December 1 of each year. Payments made AFTER January 31, will be credited to
the minister making the payment. However, this delayed payment extends the benefit payment tor
one year, if he has been a member less than ten (10) years. If the minister has been a member over
ten (1 0) years, he will collect no dividends for the year or years of the delayed payments.
Paragraph 2 of the section shows the scale of Benefits to be paid to superannuated members ot
the fund.
Show Chart - down to
"If superannuated at the end of ten years of membership - $1,100.
We recommend this chart be extended, so that it reads:
"If superannuated at the end of eleven years of membership-$l 200
If superannuated at the end of twelve years of membership-S 1 300
If superannuated at the end of thirteen years of membership-SHOO
If superannuated at the end of fourteen years of membership^ 1500
298 North Carolina Annual Conference
If superannuated at the end of fifteen years or more of membership-$1600."
After ten years of membership, a member is eligible to receive dividends payable to the account.
This new scale of benefits is to become effective: January 1, 1975.
REPORT NO. IV
Tax-Deferred Annuity Plan
Recently the General Board of Pensions announced the implementation of a Tax-Deferred
Annuity Plan. Since this program is handled exclusively by The General Board of Pensions, we
advise any minister — Lay Pastors — or church Employed Lay Persons who have an interest in such a
plan to contact:
The General Board of Pensions
1200 Davis Street
Evanston, Illinois 60201
The General Board of Pensions will furnish information, rules of operation, and application
materials on request. Our Conference Board of Pensions is NOT equipped to assist in any way with
this program.

BOARD OK PENSIONS RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING PAYMENT TO WIDOWS
We request the North Carolina Conference, meeting in Fayetteville, June 6, 1974, grant the Board
of Pensions permission to delay the implementation of Widows benefits as adopted in the Funded
Reserve Program Constitution, until further study; and that a new recommendation be made at the
1 975 session of the annual conference.
We further recommend that the rate for widows be revised to be at the rate of 75 per cent of the
per service year rate, rather than at the 70 per cent rate we are now paying.

GROUP C: RESOLUTIONS
COUNCIL ON MINISTRIES
RECOMMENDATION FOR CHARTER
The Charter of the Council on Ministries defines the composition of the membership of tne
Committee on Council Staff Personnel as "two Board Presidents, two District Superintendents,
President of United Methodist Women, one officer of Division of Lay Life and Work, two At
Large Members with Council Chairman and Director as ex-officio".
We recommend that the words "or Division Chairperson" be added following "board
Presidents" so the section will read as follows: 'two Board Presidents or Division Chairpersons.
304 North Carolina Annual Conference
two District Superintendents, President of United Methodist Women, one officer of Division of
Lay Life and Work, two At Large Members with Council Chairman and Director as ex-officio".

RESOLUTION FROM
THE
COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY
The Commission on Archives and History of the Western North Carolina Conference and of
the North Carolina Conference are jointly preparing plans for a celebration of the 200th
anniversary of the organization of the Carolina Circuit in 1976.
Duke University has expressed an interest in hosting a joint session of the two Annual
Conferences in June, 1976 and will act upon such a proposal if recommended by both
Commissions and approved by both Conferences.
"The North Carolina Conference Commission on Archives and History therefore requests
the Conference Entertainment Committee and the Annual Conference meeting at Methodist
College, June 3-6, 1974 to hold a joint session of the Western North Carolina Conference and
the North Carolina Conference in June 1976 at Duke University, and if not feasible, a joint
special session of the two Annual Conferences to be held at a time agreeable to all parties at
Duke University to celebrate the bicentennial of the Carolina Circuit, and the birth of our
nation, and the golden anniversary of the Duke Divinity School."
Dr. Ralph Hardee Rives, Chairperson
Rev. James David Jones, Secretary
A RESOLUTION FROM
THE DIVISION OF EVANGELISM
We recommend that the Conference Division of Evangelism be authorized to create a special
Task Force on Black Evangelism, to deal more adequately with the crucial needs of the Black
Church, related to declining membership, to increased Black participation in the larger life and
work of the Church, and to the recruitment of ministers and church and community workers.
We recommend the re-appointment of the Reverend Tommy Tyson and the Reverend
Joseph Kinkle as Conference Evangelists for the 1974-75 Conference year.
M. Dewey Tyson, Chairperson
W. C. Feltman, Secretary
A RESOLUTION FROM
DIVISION OF MISSIONS
WHEREAS, 43% of the membership of the North Carolina Annual Conference is in churches
of 300 or less which comprise 79% of all churches in the North Carolina Conference; and
WHEREAS, traditionally and historically, most of these churches, by virtue of small size and
relatively weak financial strength, have been grouped into multi-church charges, sometimes
without due regard to the efficiency of available resources; and
WHEREAS, there has been in the minds of many clergy and laity a stigma attached to
ministerial appointments and to the status of multi-church charges and small membership
churches; and
WHEREAS, congregations of small membership are often apprehensive about their self
determination and therefore threatened and defensive; and
WHEREAS, it has been demonstrated that inter-congregational cooperation has been
successful in providing stronger leadership, membership, finances, and program, and
WHEREAS, The Bishop, Cabinet Members, and other Conference Leadership have expressed
interest in and commitment to inter-congregational cooperation;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That the North Carolina Conference commit itself to provide a richer Christian
experience for every individual and family through participation in a fully programmed
Journal of Proceedings 305
church life. One of the ways this goal may be achieved is through inter-congregational
cooperation. This inter-congregational cooperation may be carried out in multiple pat-
terns. These multiple patterns must be determined by the participating congregations on
the basis of the need of their members and community. When congregations respond in
this manner and participate in cooperative programs in this way they are taking on
characteristics of Parish as described in the *Discipline 106.3. (See below).
2. That the small membership churches be assured of their value and strength in the total
ministry of our Conference.
3. That one of the goals of the North Carolina Conference be that the inter-congregational
cooperative parish compare favorably with the larger station parish appointments.
Realizing that it will take time for this goal to be achieved the Annual Conference must
commit itself to provide enabling resources.
i 4. That an inter-congregational cooperation training experience be held annually for laity
and clergy.
1 5. That it be understood that inter-congregational cooperative activities are not restricted to
the small membership church, in the realization that some larger churches may also
benefit through cooperative and/or extended ministries.
6. That an inner-board committee be appointed to serve as a trained and enabling group to
assist in the development of inter-congregational cooperation. This committee will be
amenable to the Town and Country Sub-committee of the Division of Mission and will
consist of the following:
A Cabinet representative, Clergy and Laity with expertise in parish development,
Outreach staff person, Town and Country Chairman, representative of the Parish
Fellowship, representative of Equitable Salaries, representative of UMW, representa-
tive of UMYF, Chairman of the Division of Mission.
Discipline 106.3
A parish may be identified as one or more local churches who, because of geographic location
I particular needs, coordinate program and organization to fulfill a ministry directed to all the
eople in the general geographic area. It may include local churches of other denominations,
(owever, those United Methodist Churches involved in the composition of the parish shall be
penable to a Charge Conference, organized according to the Discipline of The United
Jethodist Church to which minister(s) may be duly appointed or appointable as pastor in
|harge and associate pastor(s). Some forms of the parish structure include: parish/staff type,
xtended ministry, enlarged charge, group ministry, yoked Field, and federated church."
