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

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

Note :      Information  for  the  Conference  Directory  derives  principally  from 
two  sources :  from  the  ministers  themselves  on  the  cards  provided

correct  reporting  of  his/her  own  address.  Spouse's  name  (when 
provided)  is  given  in  parentheses  after  pastor's  name.  If  there  is 
an  error  in  your  address  or  telephone  numbers,  please  notify  the 
Conference  Secretary  so  the  correction  may  be  made  for  the  Con- 
ference/ounza/.

SECTION  III 


JOURNAL  OF  PROCEEDINGS 
(Daily  Minutes) 


FIRST  DAY,  AFTERNOON  SESSION 
Monday,  June  7, 1976 

The  prelude,  "Fanfare,"  by  Cooke  was  played  by  Mr.  Henry  Batten, 
Organist  of  the  afternoon  from  the  Benson  Memorial  United  Methodist 
Church  in  Raleigh. 

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

Invocation :  The  Invocation  for  the  opening  session  of  the  conference 
was  brought  by  Bishop  Blackburn  on  the  occasion  of  his  fourth  session  as 
presiding  bishop.  Reeves  Auditorium  was  packed  by  Lay  and  Clerical 
Delegates  as  this  1976  session  opened. 

Welcome:  Bishop  Blackburn  presented  the  president  of  Methodist 
College,  Dr.  Richard  W.  Pearce,  who  brought  greetings  on  behalf  of  the 
college.  Dr.  Pearce  emphasized  the  distinctive  nature  of  this  college  as  a 
property  of  the  Conference  and  recognized  members  of  his  staff  including 
Bill  Lowdermilk  for  their  three  months  of  hard  work  in  preparation  for  the 
Conference.  Bishop  Blackburn  accepted  with  gratitude  the  preparations 
made  by  Dr.  Pearce  and  the  Conference  responded  with  applause. 

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

145 


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

Special  Words:  Rev.  James  Coile,  Conference  Secretary,  introduced 
Rev.  E.R.  Porter,  who  in  turn  presented  Mr.  Will  Chadwick  of  New  Bern 
to  present  to  Bishop  Blackburn  a  special  gavel  to  celebrate  the  Bicen- 
tennial of  the  Carolina  Circuit.  Bishop  Blackburn  expressed  appreciation 
for  anybody  who  would  sit  through  64  sessions  of  the  Annual  Conference 
and  accepted  the  gravel  with  great  appreciation  and  recalled  that  he  had 
spoken  at  Centenary  UM  Church  in  New  Bern  when  he  first  arrived  in  the 
bounds  of  the  conference. 

Special  Word  of  Welcome:  Bishop  Blackburn  .ecognized  Rev.  Norwood 
Jones  to  introduce  Mayor  Beth  Finch  of  the  City  of  Fayetteville  to  bring 
special  greetings  from  the  city,  mayor  Finch  was  greeted  with  a  round  of 
applause  and  she  expressed  appreciation  for  the  repeated  visits  of  the 
United  Methodist  Conference  and  for  the  presence  of  Methodist  College  in 
Fayetteville.  She  invited  those  who  had  time  to  visit  greater  downtown 
Fayetteville  to  do  so  and  assured  the  delegates  that  they  would  receive  a 
full  welcome.  She  wished  the  members  of  the  Conference  success  in  their 
endeavors.  The  Conference  responded  with  applause. 

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

Organization  of  the  Conference :  Conference  Secretary,  Jim  Coile,  was 
recognized.  He  moved  that  the  Rules  of  the  Conference  as  printed  on  pages 
11-15  be  approved.  It  was  seconded.  The  Rev.  James  Miller  was  recognized 
for  a  motion  relative  to  a  change  in  Section  IV,  Article  4,  of  the  Rules  of 
the  Conference :  "After  the  words,  'a  member  of  the  Cabinet. . .'  add  'or  the 
Conference  Staff.'  The  sentence  will  then  read:  'A  member  of  the  Cabinet 
or  the  Conference  Staff  (designated  by  the  Cabinet)  shall  serve  as  the 
covening  officer  for  the  organizational  meeting.'  "  The  amendment  was 
adopted.  The  Rules  as  amended  were  adopted. 

Official  Roll:  Rev.  Jim  Coile  moved  that  the  cards  as  signed  at  the 
registration  tables  by  both  lay  and  clerical  members  of  the  Conference  be 
designated  as  the  official  roll  of  the  Conference.  This  was  approved. 

146 


Bar  of  the  Conference :  Coile  moved  that  the  main  floor  and  stage  of 
Reeves  Auditorium  be  the  Bar  of  the  Conference.  It  was  approved. 

Official  Program:  Coile  moved  that  the  program  contained  in  The  Con- 
ference Program  and  Recommendationsd,  1976  and  enclosed  in  the 
delegates'  packets,  and  as  amended  by  the  presiding  bishop,  be  designated 
as  the  official  program.  This  was  done. 

Secretary  of  the  Cabinet  Recognized :  Rev.  James  Miller  called  attention 
to  pages  4  and  5  of  The  Conference  Program  and  Recommendations,  1976 
under  Committee  on  District  Records,  change  Charles  H.  Hutchinson  to 
L.A.  Newman;  Committee  on  Investigation,  Rev.  N.L.  Jones,  chair- 
person, to  be  added;  Committee  on  Minutes,  add  the  name  of  R.L. 
Bame;  Tellers,  Group  A,  Fayetteville  District,  change  Ernest  West  to  Mrs. 
Seavy  Wesson.  The  changes  were  moved,  seconded  and  approved,  and  the 
Committees  were  approved. 

Resolution:  Rev.  A.F.  Fisher  offered  the  following  resolution:  "That 
the  Conference  receive  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominations  for 
membership  on  General  Boards  and  Agencies  of  The  United  Methodist 
Church  and  that  nominations  from  the  floor  for  membership  on  General 
Boards  and  Agencies  of  The  United  Methodist  Church  be  postponed  for 
consideration  until  Tuesday  afternoon  and  that  nominations  received  on 
Tuesday  afternoon  lie  on  the  table  until  Wednesday  afternoon  at  which 
time  the  elections  shall  be  held."  It  was  seconded  and  Fisher  spoke  to  this 
with  the  hope  that  the  Conference  would  wait  only  until  Tuesday  instead 
of  waiting  until  Thursday.  The  resolution  was  adopted. 

Bishop  Blackburn  directed  Rev.  James  Miller  to  read  the  nominations  for 
membership  on  General  Boards  and  Agencies  of  The  United  Methodist 
Church  as  proposed  by  the  Cabinet.  Miller  read  the  list. 

Motion:  The  motion  was  made  by  Grier  Garrick:  "The  Lay-Clergy 
Equalization  Committee  recommends  that  the  college  Presidents  of 
Louisburg  College,  Methodist  College  and  N.C.  Wesleyan  College  be 
made  members  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  subject  to  their 
meeting  the  Disciplinary  requirements.  Their  order  of  precedence  in  the 
Lay  Equalization  Formula  will  folow  the  Lay  Persons  selected  by  virtue  of 
the  office  they  hold  and  prior  to  the  Lay  Persons  selected  from  the  local 
churches."  The  motion  was  seconded  and  carried  without  dissent  or 
debate. 

Motion:  Rev.  Charles  M.  Smith  moved  that  the  Quadrennial 
nominations  to  Conference  Boards  and  Agencies  be  moved  to  Tuesday  af- 
ternoon to  lie  on  the  table  until  Wednesday  afternoon,  and  that  the  floor 
be  open  for  further  nominations  on  Tuesday  afternoon  with  voting  to  take 
place  Wednesday  afternoon.  Bishop  Blackburn  remarked  that  this  would 
indicate  that  all  nominations  would  be  brought  by  Tuesday  afternoon  and 
would  be  voted  upon  on  Wednesday  afternoon.  The  Smith  motion  was 
passed. 

Election  of  Conference  Secretary:  Harold  Leatherman  nominated 
James  Coile  as  Conference  Secretary  for  the  coming  Gniadrennium.  He  was 
elected  by  acclamation.

Rev.  D.D.  Traynham  as  Conference  Statistician  for  the  coming  Quadren- 

147

The  Conference  responded  to  each  of  the  foregoing  elections  with  a 
round  of  applause. 

Passing  of  the  Character  of  the  Ministers:  The  District  Superintendents 
were  questioned  as  to  the  passing  of  the  character  of  all  the  ministerial 
members  of  the  Conference.  All  were  passed.  The  character  of  each 
District  Superintendent  was  also  approved  and  the  report  was  accepted. 
Question  18  was  considered  by  Bishop  Blackburn  to  be  satisfactorily  an- 
swered . 

Report  of  the  Division  of  Ministry:  The  Bishop  recognized  Rev.  W.W. 
Sherman,  Jr.,  chairperson  of  the  Division  to  present  the  report.  The  chair- 
person recognized  Rev.  Robert  Drew  to  call  Question  29,  "Who  are  ad- 
mitted into  full  connection?"  (For  names,  see  Condensed  Minutes.)  With

cerity of  his  purpose,  called  the  questions  and  the  entire  class  answered  in

Mrs.  Garrick  then  called  the  attention  of  the  Annual  Conference  to  the 
need  for  the  enlistment  of  persons  to  the  Lay  Ministry  and  urged  that  the

would  be  related  to  the  Division  of  Ministry  of  the  Conference.  She  also 
encouraged  the  payment  of  all  Conference  fringe  benefits  to  full-time 
Lay  Workers.  A  question  was  asked  by  Bob  Morris  from  the  Albemarle 
Charge  if  it  was  a  requirement  or  recommendation  that  the  fringe  benefits 

149 


be  paid.  The  Bishop  and  Mrs.  Garrick  both  responded  stating  that  it  was  a 
recommendation  and  not  a  requirement  for  Lay  Workers.  The  report  was 
presented  by  Mrs.  Garrick  for  approval  by  the  Conference.  It  was  ap- 
proved.

each  morning  in  Hensdale  Chapel  and  requested  that  the  men  to  be

make  preparation  for  the  Ordination  Service  during  the  evening  session. 

Point  of  Personal  Privilege:  Bishop  Blackburn  recognized  and  officially

Will  of  the  late  Rev.  Key  W.  Taylor.  To  follow  the  memorial  portions  of

resident  of  the  Joseph  F.  Coble  Health  Care  Center  of  The  Methodist 
Retirement  Home.  Her  death  occurred  on  Sunday  morning,  June  6.  Mr. 
Watson  requested  that  the  Conference  Secretary  send  appropriate  greet- 
ings to  Rev.  Mr.  Hall  and  that  the  name  of  Mrs.  Hall  be  added  to  the  list 
of  the  deceased  wives  of  ministers  during  the  Memorial  Service.  This  was 
so  ordered  and  the  Conference  was  recessed. 

Recess  Concluded:  Bishop  Blackburn  called  the  Conference  to  order 
and  began  the  sacred  service  in  memory  of  our  honored  dead.  Following 
the  prelude,  "Amazing  Grace,"  by  Martin  and  the  singing  of  the  anthem, 
"For  All  the  Saints,"  a  Ralph  Vaughan  Williams  arrangement,  sung  by 
the  North  Carolina  Conference  Ministers'  Chorus,  Dan  Holland,  director; 
James  Coile  read  the  roll  call  of  our  Honored  Dead  to  answer  Question  40, 
"What  ministers  have  died  during  the  past  Conference  year?"  (The  list  is 
included  in  the  Condensed  Minutes.)  In  answer  to  the  question,  "What 
ministers'  wives  have  died  during  the  past  Conference  year?"  Coile  read 
their  names.  The  prayer  was  offered  by  Rev.  Kermit  R.  Wheeler.  The 
Scripture,  Hebrews  11:32-12:2  was  read.  The  Memorial  Address,  "A 
Cloud  of  Witnesses,"  was  given  by  the  Rev.  W.  Junius  Neese.  The  service 
proceeded  directly  into  the  singing  of  the  hymn  which  was  a  call  to  the 
Sacrament  of  Holy  Communion,  "Let  us  Break  Bread  Together."

Manager  of  Cokesbury  Book  Store  in  Raleigh.  Miss  Henry  gave  a  report 
of  the  activities  of  the  Cokesbury  Store  and  the  proposed  expansion.  She 
spoke  with  great  appreciation  for  the  support  of  the  people  of  the  Con- 
ference and  of  the  state  in  general.  She  again  referred  to  the  store  as  a 
"happy  store."  Miss  Henry  presented  a  check  in  the  amount  of  $5,711.49 
as  the  pro  rata  share  to  the  North  Carolina  Conference  from  Cokesbury.

lina Annual  Conference  and  announced  that  the  fund  drive  had  been 
extended  until  December  31 ,  1976,  and  hoped  that  other  monies  would  be 
forthcoming  to  the  Junaluska  Advancement  Fund.  Bishop  Blackburn 
stated  that  we  should  go  back  to  our  churches  and  try  to  raise  the  remain- 
der of  our  apportionment  and  pay  it  in  full  so  that  the  work  of  this  great 
Assembly  could  go  on.  The  Messages  were  received  with  enthusiasm  and  a

their  leadership.  All  received  an  ovation  from  the  Conference. 

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

152 


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

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

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

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

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

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

153 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

154 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

155 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

156 


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

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

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

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

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

SECOND  DAY,  AFTERNOON  SESSION 
Tuesday,  June  8, 1976 

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

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

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

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

157 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

158 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

160 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

161 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

162 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Announcements :  Secretary  James  Coile  made  announcements. 

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

163 


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

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

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

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

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

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

SECOND  DAY,  EVENING  SESSION 
Tuesday,  June  8, 1976 

At  7  :  15  p.m.  there  was  a  brief  service  of  hymns  for  those  gathered  in  the 
Conference  awaiting  the  evening  hour  of  worship.  At  7:25  the  organist  of 
the  evening,  Mrs.  Floyd  Johnson,  Director  of  Music,  Centenary  UM  Chur 
ch,  New  Bern,  played  the  prelude  "Voluntary  in  C  Major"  by  Stanley.  At 
7:30  the  Introit,  "All  Praise  to  Thee,  My  God  This  Night,"  by  Tallis 
Canon,  was  sung.  Hymn  Number  493  was  sung  by  the  Conference.  In- 
vocation by  Rev.  Charles  Owens  followed.  The  anthem,  "The  Lord  Is  In 
This  Place,"  by  Lloyd  Pfautsch,  was  sung  by  the  combined  church  choirs 
under  the  direction  of  Roger  Searles,  Organist/Director  of  Music  at  St. 
Paul  UM  Church  in  Goldsboro.  Bishop  Blackburn  then  introduced  Dr.  Er- 
nest T.  Campbell,  pastor  of  Riverside  Church,  New  York,  for  the  second  in 
a  series  of  three  Conference  sermons.  Dr.  Campbell  dynamically  spoke  on 
the  theme  of  "The  Expansion  of  a  Great  Faith,"  beginning  with  the  idea  of 
having  faith  as  a  mustard  seed.  Following  the  sermon,  announcements 
were  made  by  Bishop  Blackburn  along  with  appropriate  expressions  of  ap- 
preciation. The  Offertory,  "America,  the  Beautiful,"  was  sung  by  the  com- 
bined church  choirs.  After  the  benediction  by  Bishop  Blackburn  the  choirs 
sang  the  Choral  Response,  "The  Lord  Bless  You  and  Keep  You,"  a  Peter 
Lutkin  arrangement. 

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

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

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

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

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

Disposition  of  Randolph  Motion:  The  motion  to  reconsider  did  not 
pass. 

Nominations:  Bishop  Blackburn  opened  the  floor  for  additional 
nominations  for  Conference  boards  and  agencies. 

Several  names  were  submitted  from  the  floor  to  be  added  to  the  list  of 

165 


nominations. 

Motion:  Stan  Smith  moved  the  acceptance  of  the  Youth/ Young  Adult 
Caucus  nominations  by  acclamation  with  the  addition  of  the  name  of  Dave 
Harvin.  The  report  was  amended  to  add  the  name  of  Nancy  Best  as  an  at- 
large  member.  The  name  of  Terri  Morgan  was  added. 

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

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

Nominations  Made  From  Floor:  Nominations  were  made  from  the  floor 
for  the  various  Boards,  Commissions  and  Committees  of  the  Annual  Con- 
ference. 

Ballot  Suggested:  Secretary  Jim  Coile  stated  that  he  would  prepare  a 
Ballot  to  facilitate  the  election  of  the  nominees.  This  was  so  ordered. 

Adjournment:  There  was  a  motion  for  adjournment.  Bishop  Blackburn 
adjourned  the  session  at  11:14  p.m. 

THIRD  DAY,  MORNING  SESSION 
Wednesday,  June  9, 1976 

Communion  Service:  The  Sacrament  of  Holy  Communion  was  cele- 
brated in  Hensdale  Chapel  on  the  campus  of  Methodist  College  at  8:00 
a.m.  under  the  Division  of  Worship. 

Conference  Called  to  Order:  Organist  for  the  morning  session,  Mrs. 
William  Aycock,  Organist,  Haymount  UM  Church,  Fayetteville,  played 
the  prelude,  "If  Thou  But  Suffer  God  To  Guide  Thee"  and  "O  Eternity," 
by  Johann  Krebs.  Bishop  Blackburn  called  the  session  to  order  with  the 
singing  of  "When  Morning  Gilds  The  Skies."  The  morning  prayer  was 
offered  by  Rev.  George  Ports. 

Committee  on  Conference  Minutes:  Rev.  Troy  J.  Barrett,  chairman, 
moved  the  approval  of  the  Minutes  of  the  Proceedings  for  Tuesday  morn- 
ing and  afternoon  sessions.  They  were  approved. 

Report  of  the  Division  of  Higher  Education:  Bishop  Blackburn  called 
on  Rev.  Herman  Winberry  who  recognized  Kenneth  Hite  to  bring  the 
report  as  presented  on  pages  42-43  of  The  Conference  Program  and 
Recommendations,  1976,  and  on  page  37.  This  report  contained  the 
names  of  nominations  of  college  trustees  and  he  noted  that  some  of  the 
trustees'  names  were  omitted  from  the  report. 

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

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

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


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

Report  of  the  Joint  Advisory  Committee:  Herman  Winberry  resumed 
the  presentation  and  called  on  Paul  Carruth  to  give  a  report  from  the  Joint 
Advisory  Committee.  The  report  was  accepted  as  information  and  received 
by  the  Conference.  (See  Section  V.) 

Report  of  the  Regional  Commission  on  Higher  Education  and  Campus 
Ministry:  Winberry  presented  Langill  Watson  to  give  the  report.  Watson's 
report  was  received  with  appreciation  and  adopted  by  the  Conference. 
(See  Section  V.)  Watson  then  presented  the  nominations  on  pages  44-48 
of  The  Conference  Program  and  Recommendations,  1976,  and  with 
certain  changes  which  will  appear  in  the  Journal,  the  list  of  nominations 
was  adopted.  Watson  moved  "that  we  request  the  Division  of  Higher 
Education  to  reconstitute  the  Regional  Commission  on  Christian  Higher 
Education  and  Campus  Ministry  for  the  1977-80  Quadrennium."  Watson 
stated  that  this  was  necessary  in  order  to  work  with  the  Western  NC  Con- 
ference. It  was  seconded  and  approved  by  the  Conference.  Joe  Mann  and 
Dan  Earnhardt  were  recognized  as  full-time  campus  ministers.  Watson 
also  recognized  Rev.  Harvey  Estes. 

Point  of  High  Privilege:  Winberry  recognized  Rev.  James  McCallum 
who  spoke  briefly  and  recognized  Rev.  Harold  Leatherman  for  a  Point  of 
High  Privilege.  Leatherman  requested  Bishop  Blackburn  to  come  and 
stand  with  him  as  he  read  a  resolution  of  appreciation  in  honor  of  Bishop 
burn.  The  resolution  was  a  request  to  the  Jurisdictional  Conference  to 
reassign  Bishop  Blackburn  to  the  Raleigh  Area.  McCallum  said  that  this 
was  the  most  important  report  that  could  come  out  of  Jurisdictional  Con- 
ference. The  resolution  was  adopted  by  a  standing  ovation.  (See  Section 
V.) 

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

Special  Guests:  Bishop  Blackburn  introduced  our  college  presidents. 
Each  was  given  an  opportunity  to  greet  the  conference;  and  Dr.  Allen 
Norris  of  Louisburg,  Dr.  Bruce  Petteway  of  Wesleyan,  and  Dr.  Richard 
Pearce  of  Methodist  expressed  words  of  commendation  and  appreciation.

Bishop  Blackburn  gave  words  of  commendation  for  Dr.  Tommy  Lang- 
ford  in  regard  to  his  leadership  at  General  Conference  and  across  the 
Church,  and  since  he  could  not  be  present  at  Conference  this  day,  he 
recognized  Dr.  John  Bergland  to  represent  and  lift  up  the  cause  of  the 
Duke  Divinity  School.  Dr.  Bergland  expressed  profoundly  the  needs  of  the 
Seminary  and  the  sense  of  togetherness  and  oneness  of  the  Seminary  and 
the  people. 

Committee  on  Continuing  Education:  Herman  Winberry  presented  the 
report  of  the  Committee  and  encouraged  more  and  more  churches  to  put 
into  their  budgets  sums  for  their  pastors  and  key  lay  persons  to  participate 
in  the  opportunities  available.  Winberry  introduced  Rev.  Belton  Joyner 
to  speak  about  the  Doctor  of  Ministries  program  at  Drew  University.  Win- 
berry also  referred  to  the  fact  that  386  ministers  had  registered  for  the 
Bishop's  Seminar  on  Preaching  and  further  called  attention  to  the  Con- 
tinuing Education  opportunity  to  be  offered  in  Utrecht,  Holland,  and  to 
be  coordinated  by  Rev.  Charles  Bryant. 

Ministerial  Education  Fund:  Rev.  Wilbur  Jackson  presented  the  report 
for  the  Ministerial  Education  Fund  and  congratulated  the  Conference 
for  what  it  had  done.  He  gave  the  formal  report.  (See  Section  V) 

Winberry  called  on  Rev.  W.W.  Sherman  to  conclude  some  Division  of 
Ministry  Reports. 

Question  27:  Rev.  Bob  Drew  was  called  on  to  answer  Question  27, 
"Who  are  continued  on  probation?"  The  Conference  approved  the  names 
as  in  the  original  report  and  the  corrections  will  appear  in  thejournal. 

Qiiestion  30:  Bob  Bundy  was  recognized  to  answer  Question  30.  It  was 
passed  by  the  Conference. 

W.W.  Sherman  called  on  Rev.  E.M.  Thompson  concerning  the  Con- 
ference Relations  Committee.  There  was  one  addition  under  the  speci- 
fied Disciplinary  paragraphs.  Rev.  C.  Wade  Goldston  would  be  recom- 
mended for  retirement  the  first  of  January,  1977.  The  Conference  gave  its 
approval. 

Seminary  Visitation:  Rev.  W.W.  Sherman  spoke  for  Rev.  Paul  Boone 
giving  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Seminary  Visitation.  The  report  was 
received  by  the  Conference. 

Committee  on  Pastoral  Care:  W.W  Sherman  gave  the  report  of  the 
Committee  on  Pastoral  Care.  He  emphasized  that  14  people  were  helped 
by  the  Committee  on  Pastoral  Care  last  year  and  requested  the  adoption 
of  Item  25  on  page  37.  The  report  was  adopted  by  the  Conference  with 
appreciation. 

Board  of  Managers,  Pastor's  School  and  School  for  Lay  Pastors:  Dr. 
Paul  M.  Mickey  was  recognized  by  Herman  Winberry  to  give  the  report. 
Dr.  Mickey's  report  was  comprehensive  and  well  received.  The  text  ap- 
pears in  Section  V.  It  was  adopted  by  the  Conference. 

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

168 


not  be  present  and  then  recognized  Dr.  Robert  L.  Wilson  of  the  Ormond 
Research  Center  for  his  report.  Wilson  emphasized  the  information 
gathering  work  of  the  Center  in  order  to  help  churches  understand  them- 
selves. Rev.  Cliff  Shoaf,  Director  of  Field  Education  for  the  Divinity 
School,  was  then  recognized  for  remarks.  Shoaf  reported  that  58  students 
would  be  serving  in  local  churches  this  summer.  This  program,  along  with 
the  Ormond  Research  Center  and  the  investigative  and  research  services 
offered  therein  and  the  Duke  Endowment,  providing  financial  under- 
girding,  constitutes  a  three-pronged  approach  to  help  the  Church  in  the 
North  Carolina  Conference.  Fisher  requested  that  all  ministers  and  laity 
call  upon  these  agencies  for  help.  Fisher  concluded  the  presentation  by 
emphasizing  the  work  of  Dr.  McMurry  Richey  and  the  Seminars  for  Con- 
tinuing Education  which  have  changed  the  week-long  Seminars  from  the 
summer  to  the  month  of  May,  a  change  which  has  met  with  great  success. 

Report  of  the  Joint  Committee  on  Disability:  Rev.  Amos  H.  Stone 
brought  the  report  from  the  Joint  Committee  and  he  stated  that  five  men 
were  being  recommended  for  emergency  aid:  Lewis  Dodson,  Evander 
Parnell,  J.C.  Dunn,  Wilford  Wise  and  R.C.  Hamilton.  The  Conference 
approved  aid  for  these  men. 

Black  College  Fund:  Dr.  E.C.  Calhoun  brought  a  report  from  the  work 
of  the  Black  College  Fund  and  expressed  greetings  and  an  explanation  of 
what  was  being  done  in  the  area. 

Herman  Winberry  closed  the  presentation  of  the  Board  of  Higher 
Education  and  Ministry  by  presenting  a  resolution  of  appreciation  to  Rev. 
W.W.  Sherman  in  honor  of  his  eight  years  of  work  on  the  Division  of  the 
Ministry.  Sherman  responded  with  gracious  words  of  appreciation. 

Recognition  of  Our  Chaplains:  Bishop  Blackburn  presented  Dr.  A. 
Purnell  Bailey  for  the  report  in  the  area  of  Chaplain  concerns  and  the 
recognition  of  the  19  chaplains  from  the  Conference  with  an  additional  15 
serving  within  the  bounds  of  the  Conference.  All  chaplains  were  requested 
to  come  forward  for  recognition. 

Division  of  Interreligious  and  Ecumenical  Concerns:  Bishop  Blackburn 
recognized  Mrs.  Robert  L.  Jerome  to  present  the  report  of  the  Division. 
The  report  was  duly  given  with  appropriate  expressions  of  appreciation 
for  the  work  of  others  during  the  last  Conference  and  a  particular  thanks- 
giving for  the  Ecumenical  Breakfast. 

Introduction  of  Guest:  Bishop  Blackburn  introduced  Dr.  Sam  Wiley 
of  the  NC  Council  of  Churches. 

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


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

Announcements :  James  Coile  made  announcements. 

Motion:  Rev.  Harvey  Lowrey  moved  "that  a  task  force  on  the  Native 
American  Church  be  appointed  by  the  Bishop  in  consultation  with  a  com- 
mittee of  Native  Americans  and  immediately  after  this  1976  Annual 
Conference  to  identify  the  needs  of  the  Native  American  Church  and  to 
make  appropriate  recommendations  thereof  to  the  Conference  Council 
on  Ministries."  The  Motion  was  seconded  and  Lowry  spoke  to  it  briefly. 
The  Bishop  ruled  that  this  motion  would  have  to  remain  on  the  table  for 
24  hours. 

Order  of  the  Day:  The  Bishop  called  for  the  Order  of  the  Day  to  pro- 
ceed to  the  Worship  Service  of  the  hour. 

Worship  Service:  The  Bishop  presented  Roger  Searles  to  lead  in  Hymn 
Number  294,  "I  Love  Thy  Kingdom,  Lord."  Bishop  Blackburn  again 
presented  with  deep  appreciation  Dr.  Ernest  T.  Campbell,  pastor  of 
Riverside  Church,  New  York,  for  the  third  in  a  series  of  Conference  ser- 
mons. Dr.  Campbell  again  preached  to  the  Conference. 

Benediction:  The  Bishop  dismissed  this  session  of  the  Conference  with 
the  benediction. 

THIRD  DAY,  AFTERNOON  SESSION 
Wednesday,  June  9, 1976 

Conference  Brotherhood:  Kelly  Wilson,  Jr.,  convened  the  meeting  of 
the  North  Carolina  Conference  Brotherhood  and  the  reports  were  given 
and  discussed.  (See  Section  V.)  After  nominations  were  made  and  ap- 
proved by  the  Brotherhood  the  annual  meeting  was  adjourned. 
Conference  Convened:  The  organist  for  the  afternoon,  Roger  F.  Searles, 
Organist/Director  of  Music,  St.  Paul  UM  Church,  Goldsboro,  played  the 
prelude,  "Suite  for  Organ,"  from  French  Baroque,  arranged  by  Wolff. 
Rev.  Robert  McKenzie  led  the  singing  and  then  led  in  prayer. 

Matter  of  Personal  Privilege:  James  Coile,  Conference  Secretary,  noted 
that  this  was  the  50th  anniversary  of  Rev.  W.  Carlton  Wilson's  becoming  a 
member  of  the  Conference.  Coile  asked  that  he  come  and  join  him  at  the 
Secretary's  desk  for  the  afternoon. 

Question:  Grier  Garrick  made  the  following  motion:  "I  move  that  the 
parties  responsible  for  passing  out  political  pamphlets  on  the  floor  of  the 
Conference  be  instructed  to  remove  these  pamphlets  at  the    earliest   op- 

170 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

171 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

172 


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

Report  of  the  Council  on  Finance  and  Administration:  Bishop  Black- 
burn recognized  Owen  Fitzgerald  to  present  the  report  because  of  the  ab- 
sence of  the  Chairperson.  Fitzgerald  expressed  appreciation  for  the  work  of 
Mrs.  Marjorie  Mann  who  serves  on  the  General  Council  on  Finance.  Fit 
zgerald  made  corrections  to  the  report,  on  pages  52-58  of  the  Book  of 
Recommendations.  To  Section  I  of  the  report  he  added  the  following: 
Following  the  recent  session  of  the  General  Conference,  the  North 
Carolina  Conference  has  received  two  new  annual  apportionments  for  the 
quadrennium,  1977-80,  as  follows: 

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

Motion:  H.  Langill  Watson  moved  that  the  Mass  Communication  Fund 
of  $11,375  be  included  in  the  Single  Askins.  Reginald  Ponder  spoke  in 
favor  of  the  Watson  Amendment.  W.M.  Jeffries  moved  to  include  the 
Missional  Priorities  Fund  in  the  Single  Figure.  Kermit  Braswell  spoke  in 
favor  of  placing  both  the  Communications  and  Missional  Priorities  Funds 
in  the  Single  Figure.  Ponder  spoke  in  favor  of  the  Jeffries  amendment.  The 
question  was  called  on  the  Jeffries  amendment  and  257  for  the  amend- 
ment. James  Noseworthy  moved  that  all  Missional  Priority  moneys  be 
"lumped  together"  into  one  small  apportionment.  With  an  explanation 
that  this  already  was  done,  Noseworthy  withdrew  his  motion.  A  vote  was 
taken  on  the  Watson  motion  and  it  was  approved,  placing  the  Mass  Com- 
munication Fund  in  the  Single  Figure  Askings. 

Question:  Ed  Earnhardt  asked  about  the  increase  in  D.S.  salaries  and 
the  response  was  that  the  increase  amounted  to  11.4%  increase,  or  $2,040. 

Motion:  Earnhardt  moved  to  delete  from  Section  III,  Item  4,  the 
authority  given  to  the  Conference  Council  on  Ministries  and  the  Council 
on  Finance  to  approve  funds  going  to  non-conference  agencies.  Al  Fisher 
spoke  against  the  amendment.  The  amendment  was  defeated. 

Report  Adopted:  The  report  of  the  Council  on  Finance  and  Adminis- 
tration was  adopted  with  the  exception  of  the  budget  which  was  scheduled 

173 


for  presentation  at  the  following  day's  session  of  the  Conference. 
Amendment  to  Council  on  Ministries  Structure: 

Bishop  Blackburn  recognized  Grier  Garrick  to  bring  his  Council  on 
Ministries  motion  back  to  the  floor.  This  was  the  amendment  which  was 
printed  on  the  back  of  THE  SADDLE  BAG  for  Wednesday,  June  9th. 
Jack  Crum  asked  that  the  resolution  be  tabled  for  a  year.  The  motion  to 
table  lost.  Bob  Wallace  offered  an  amendment  to  the  resolution  adding  at 
the  end  the  words  "with  the  present  members."  It  was  seconded.  Ted 
Carter  spoke  against  the  amendment,  expressing  the  feeling  that  the  Con- 
ference was  too  "hung  up"  on  placing  a  black  person  in  the  Methodist 
Building.  Stark  said  this  was  not  the  case  but  that  it  had  been  difficult  to 
find  the  right  person.  Ponder  offered  a  substitute  to  the  Wallace  motion,

Committee  on  Equitable  Salaries:  James  Bailey  moved  that  the  report 
beginning  on  pages  49-51  BOOK  OF  RECOMMENDATIONS  be  adopt- 
ed. It  was  seconded.  Kermit  Braswell  moved  that  Item  6,  Section  II,  page 
50  be  deleted.  Wade  Goldston  spoke  against  the  Braswell  motion.  Charles 
Mercer  spoke  for  the  Braswell  motion.  Clay  Elliott  from  Parkwood  Church, 
Durham,  offered  a  substitute  motion.  He  moved  to  delete  the  words 
"taking  other  employment  or  not."  Charles  Sparks  spoke  against  the  sub- 
stitute. 

The  substitute  lost. 

The  Braswell  amendment  was  voted  upon  and  it  lost. 

The  Parkwood  delegate  made  his  motion  to  change  item  6  on  page  50 
to  read,  "Any  Equitable  Salary  supplement  will  be  terminated  immedi- 
ately upon  a  full-time  pastors  not  continuing  full-time  pastoral  employ- 
ment. Such  a  pastor  may  be  reinstated  at  any  time  upon  returning  to 
full-time  ministerial  status."  The  Committee  on  Equitable  salaries  accept- 
ed this  without  vote.  Clyde  Cheezem  under  Section  B  of  I  wanted  to  re- 
move the  term  "$800"  and  change  it  to  $1500.  The  Cheezem  amendment 
was  withdrawn.  Denny  Wise  asked  what  the  projected  cost  in  the  increase 
in  equitable  salaries  would  be  to  the  Conference.  Bailey  answered  that  he 
did  not  know.  Wise  moved  that  we  defer  action  on  the  report  for  one  year 
to  see  the  effect  on  the  Conference  budget.  It  was  seconded.  Fisher  spoke 
to  try  and  clarify  the  issues  involved.  The  Wise  motion  was  withdrawn.

ference. 

Recognition  of  Guest:  Bishop  Blackburn  presented  Mrs.  Norwood  Jones 
to  pin  an  orchid  on  Mrs.  Marion  Conner  who  so  beautifully  and  ably 
characterized  and  lived  for  the  congregation  the  role  of  Susannah  Wesley

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

Motion:  George  Forehand  of  Burlington  brought  a  motion  to  change 
the  structure  of  the  Division  of  Lay  Life  and  Work.  He  read  the  motion  as

seconded. 

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

176 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Motion:  Rev.  Sam  McMillan  made  the  following  motion:  "Amend  the 
Committee  on  Parish  Travel  Report,  last  paragraph  under  Item  2  to  read

change  without  question. 

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

177 


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

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

and  nonconcurrance  was  approved  for  that  report. 

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

Report  of  the  Committee  on  District  Conference  Records:  Rev.  Robert 
Pullman  brought  the  report  which  indicated  that  District  Conference 
records  were  in  good  order.  (For  complete  text  of  report  see  Section  V.) 
The  report  was  accepted  by  the  Conference. 

Report  of  the  Director  of  Methodist  Information :  John  Meares  gave  the 
report  and  expressed  appreciation  for  media  coverage  that  had  been 
provided.  He  particularly  expressed  appreciation  for  the  coverage  of  this 
session  of  the  Annual  Conference.  Meares  also  expressed  appreciation  for 
help  in  the  production  of  the  new  pictorial  directory  of  the  ministers  with 
the  hope  that  a  new  directory  could  be  produced  each  five  years.  His 
report  was  accepted.  (See  Section  V.) 

178 


Council  on  Finance  and  Administration:  Rev.  Owen  Fitzgerald  rose  to 
present  the  proposed  Conference  Budget  to  be  raised  January  1,  1977- 
December  31,  1977.  Fitzgerald  moved  the  adoption  of  the  Budget  in 
Section  II  of  The  Book  of  Recommendations.  It  was  adopted. 

Point  of  Personal  Privilege:  Charles  McAdams  read  a  statement  in 
tribute  to  Mrs.  Eda  Rogers  (see  Memorial  &  Resolution,  Section  V). 
The  Conference  was  asked  to  stand  in  silence  in  her  memory,  in  honor  of 
her  service  and  Christian  devotion.  The  Conference  stood  and  after  a 
period  of  silence  Mr.  McAdams  led  in  prayer. 

Report  of  the  Ministers  Credit  Union:  The  report  was  given  by  Rev. 
Maness  Mitchell.  The  report  had  already  been  handed  out  and  the  text 
appears  in  Section  V.  The  Conference  adopted  it  as  a  matter  of  informa- 
tion, with  appreciation  for  the  remarks  of  Rev.  Mitchell. 

Motion:  The  matter  concerning  the  Native  American  Task  Force  which

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

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

report  of  the  Committee  concerning  expressions  of  thanks  for  the  confer- 
ence and  the  hospitality  of  Methodist  College  and  the  cooperation  of  all

this  Annual  Conference  Session  refer  to  our  Conference  Council  on  Min- 
istries that  they  study  the  possibility  of  the  development  of  a  process  for  the 
evaluation  of  our  Annual  Conference  sessions,  and  that  the  Conference 
Council  on  Ministries  make  such  a  report  to  our  Annual  Conference  in 
1977."  It  was  seconded  and  adopted.

April  3,  1976,  at  10:00  A.M. 

Bishops  Robert  M.  Blackburn  and  Earl  G.  Hunt,  Jr.,  called  to  order 
a  joint  session  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  and  the  Western  North

the  200th  anniversary  of  the  United  States,  the  200th  anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  the  Carolina  Circuit  in  North  Carolina,  and  the  50th  anniver- 
sary of  the  founding  of  Duke  University.  The  call  to  order  came  after  the 
processional  of  peoples  representing  the  various  segments  of  the  two  con- 
ferences. Dr.  Terry  L.  Sanford,  president  of  Duke  University,  welcomed 
the  two  conferences  to  Duke  University  and  led  in  prayer. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

181 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON  SESSION: 

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

Reverend  Robert  Young  made  announcements. 

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

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

182 


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

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

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

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

Louisburg,  Pfeiffer, 

Brevard,  Methodist, 

Bennett,  N.C.  Wesleyan,  and 

Greensboro,  Duke. 

High  Point, 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DR.JOHNCLINE 


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

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

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

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


246 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He  wrote  himself: 

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

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


247 


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

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

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

All  free  from  fears. 

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

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

Then  we  shall  know! 

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

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

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

This  is  my  quest,  to  follow  that  star, 

No  matter  how  hopeless,  no  matter  how  far, 

To  fight  for  the  right  without  question  or  pause, 

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

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

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


248 


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

WILLIAM  STANLEY  POTTER 

William  Stanley  Potter  was  born  in  Stet,  Missouri,  November  6,  1904, 
the  son  of  the  Reverend  William  Oliver  Grafton  and  Myrtle  Mae 
(Moore)  Potter.  His  father  served  the  Missouri  Conference  for  45  years. 
He  attended  Central  College,  Fayette,  Missouri  graduating  in  1925. 
Having  earlier  committed  himself  to  a  life  of  service  in  the  Methodist 
ministry,  Stanley  attended  he  Divinity  School  of  Yale  University.  He 
received  his  B.D.  in  1928.  In  June  of  1959,  his  alma  mater,  Central 
College,  bestowed  upon  William  Stanley  Potter  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Divinity. 

Dr.  Potter  began  his  ministry  in  the  Missouri  Conference  being  Ad- 
mitted on  Trial  September  5,  1924  and  was  received  into  Full  Con- 
nection, September  17,  1929.  He  received  his  Deacon's  orders  September 
22,  1929  and  was  ordained  Elder  August  30,  1931.  He  served  the

On  May  1,  1936,  he  transferred  to  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Con- 
ference and  was  appointed  to  Home  Memorial  Methodist  Church  in 
Clayton.  Listed  below  are  the  appointments  Dr.  Potter  served  in  the

Mebane  June  1 968-June  1 970 

William  Stanley  Potter  retired  from  the  itinerant  ministry  June,  1970. 
He  and  Mrs.  Potter  moved  back  to  Sanford  to  their  lovely  new  home  at 
620  West  Chisholm  Street.  Wanting  to  stay  active  and  being  so  well-loved 
by  the  people  of  Sanford,  Dr.  Potter  was  elected  Minister  Emeritus  of 
Steele  Street  Church  soon  after  his  retirement.  He  served  in  this  capacity 
until  the  time  of  his  death  on  August  10,  1975,  in  his  home.  Funeral  ser- 
vices were  held  in  St.  Luke  Church  (formerly  Steele  Street)  on  August  12 
at  11:00  A.M.  with  the  minister,  Reginald  W.  Ponder,  officiating.  The 
Reverend  Edgar  B.  Fisher,  a  schoolmate  and  devoted  friend  of  Stanley 
Potter,  assisted  in  the  service.  Interment  was  in  Buffalo  Cemetery  at  San- 
ford. 

William  Stanley  Potter  was  married  to  Marion  Louise  Smith  of 
Amityville,  Long  Island,  New  York,  June  26,  1929.  Mrs.  Potter  is  a 
graduate  of  Mount  Holyoke  College,  South  Hadley,  Mass.  They  had  four 
children:  William  Stanley,  Jr.,  an  insurance  executive  in  Roanoke 
Rapids;  Elizabeth  Louise  (Mrs.  William  Spencer  Davis)  who  lives  in 
Springfield,  Virginia;  Frank  Grafton  with  Brodt  Music  Company  in 
Charlotte;  and  James  Richard  with  Wachovia  Bank  in  Charlotte.  The 
Potters  have  six  grandchildren. 

During  his  distinguished  career,  Stanley  served  the  North  Carolina 
Conference  on  The  Long  Range  Planning  Committee  (Chairman  1964- 
1968),  Board  of  Education,  Board  of  Evangelism,  Board  of  Ministry, 
Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death 
was  a  member  of  the  Division  of  Higher  Education.  He  served  on  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  High  Point  College  from  1956  until  his  death.  He 
was  an  evangelist  having  received  more  than  1,100  persons  into  the 
Church  by  Profession  of  Faith.  He  was  interested  in  Christian  Higher 
Education,  too,  and  was  instrumental  in  the  significant  advancement  of 
the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  in  this  area. 

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

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

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


250 


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

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

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

HAROLD  REYNOLD  BEEDE 


1905-1975 

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

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

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


251 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


252 


these  sentiments : 

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

memorials." 

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

RUSSELL  H.CAUDILL 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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


253 


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

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

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

Out  of  the  depth  of  sin  and  shame, 

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

Lord,  wilt  Thou  pardon  me. 

From  all  the  sin  that  binds  my  soul, 

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

Oh,  wilt  Thou  only  speak. 

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

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

Thy  precious  promise  I  believe, 

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

While  at  Thy  cross  I  kneel. 

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

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

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

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

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


254 


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

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

DR.  CHANCIE  DeSHIELD  BARCLIFT 


1902-1975 

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

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

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

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

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


255 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


256 


and  devotion  to  Jesus,  our  Lord  and  Saviour! 

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

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

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

Out  of  the  strain  of  the  doing 

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

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

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

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

GEORGE  MARYLAND  KELLEY 


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


257 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Paul  W.  Boone

GRAHAM  STANFORD  EUBANK 


1909-1976 

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

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

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

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

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


259 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

JAMES  RUSSELL  HAILEY 

1914-1975 

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

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

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

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

261 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

262 


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

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

I  cannot  say,  and  I  will  not  say 

That  Jim  is  dead.  He  is  just  away. 

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

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

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

Think  of  Jim  dwelling  on,  as  dear 

In  the  love  of  God  as  the  love  of  Here ; 

Mild  and  gentle  as  he  was  brave 

When  the  sweetest  love  of  his  life  he  gave. 

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

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

Think  of  Jim  as  still  the  same,  I  say; 

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

DANIEL  EDWIN  EARNHEARDT 

1892-1976 

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

263 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MRS.  PEARL  GRIFFIN  PETTY 

1895-1975 

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

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

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

265 


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

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

MRS.  KATIE  BIZZELL  BUNDY 

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

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

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

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

We  miss  you  now,  our  hearts  are  sore 

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

No  one  can  fill  your  vacant  place. 

Mrs.  Miriam  B.  McLain 


MRS.  WILLIE  MAE  GANNAWAY 


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

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

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

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


267 


with  her  daughter. 

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

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

NELLIE  FAISON  (SIS)  O'BRIANT 

1880-1975 

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

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

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

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


268 


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

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

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

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

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

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

"MY  GOD  AND  I" 

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

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

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

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

ADDIE  JESSIE  DIXON  RIDAUGHT 


1909-1976 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


270 


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

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

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

LALLAH  BROWN  WATTS 

1900-1976 


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

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

Lawrence  and  Lallah  Watts  dedicated  their  lives  to  the  Glory  of  God. 
Together,  they  faithfully  served  the  following  churches  in  the  North 
Carolina  Conference;  She  never  missing  an  opportunity  to  help  in  the

During  the  period  of  1938-1945  when  Mr.  Watts  was  State  Prison  Chap- 
lain, the  family  lived  in  Raleigh,  N.C.  and  attended  Edenton  Street 
Methodist  Church  where  Mrs.  Watts  served  as  president  of  the  Woman's 
Society.  She  was  actively  involved  in  all  phases  of  the  church  work  wherever 
her  home  was  located.  She  placed  strong  emphasis  upon  the  family  as 
an  institution,  consequently  contributing  to  the  happiness  and  well-being 
of  her  children  and  grandchildren.

Brown,  of  Greenville,  N.C. ;  one  brother,  Dr.  James  Brown  of  Baltimore, 
Md. ;  four  grandchildren. 

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

SECTION  V 


CONFERENCE  REPORTS,  LEGISLATION 
AND  RESOLUTIONS 

Group  A-Agency  Reports 


State  of  the  Church  Address 
June  1976 

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

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

273 


s 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

274 


United  Methodist  Church  reveal: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

275 


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

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

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

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

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

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

My  plea  is  in  the  realm  of  attitude  and  spirit. 

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

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

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

The  Commission  on  Archives  and  History 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Board  of  Church  and  Society 

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

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

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

General  Council  on  Ministries 

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

279 


ence  of  The  United  Methodist  Church. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

—  Bishop  Blackburn  from  Council  of  Bishops 

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

—  David  Harvin,  Student  in  Wesley  Seminary 

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

—J.N.  Gibson  of  Gibson 

—  Board  of  Higher  Educ.  &  Ministry  — G.L.  Garrick  of  Jacksonville 

—  P.W.  Gibson  of  Gibson 

—  P.W.  Aitkin  of  Durham 

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

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

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

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

280 


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

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

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

Methodist  Ministers  Credit  Union 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

281 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What  of  the  Future? 

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

282 


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

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

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

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

Start  saving  every  pay  day  for  a  special  purpose.  Save  in  Methodist

service. 

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

Division  of  Diaconal  Ministries 

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

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

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

283 


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

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

official  binder,  that  the  most  current  reports  be  placed  in  the  front  of 
the  binder,  that  inside  tabs  be  used  to  designate  years,  and  that  no  more 
than  six  years  of  reports  be  in  the  binders. 

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

2.  The  district  superintendent's  composite  report. 

3.  The  attendance  records  by  charges.

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

Composite  Report  of  the  District  Superintendents 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FINANCES: 

Ninety-three  point  one  per  cent  of  the  Single  Figure  Apportionment 
was  paid.  This  is  an  increase  of  6.2%  over  the  paid  apportionment  of 
Single  Figure  last  year.  There  was  also  an  increase  over  last  year's  re- 
ceipts in  Ministerial  Education,  Interdenominational  Cooperation  Fund, 
General  Advance  Special,  Conference  Advance  Special  and  Youth  Ser- 
vice Fund.  A  slight  decrease  was  noted  in  the  giving  to  World  Com- 
munion, Human  Relations  Day,  Student  Day  and  to  the  Ten  Dollar 
Club.  We  are  current  with  our  recent  commitment  to  North  Carolina 
Wesleyan  College. 

CONCLUSION: 

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

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

287 


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

James  H.  McCallum,  President  of  the  Cabinet 


Burlington  District 

NICHOLAS  W.  GRANT    DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

288 


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

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

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

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

This  has  been  a  good  year  indeed. 


Goldsboro  District 

J.  PAUL  EDWARDS,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

289 


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

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


Greenville  District 

R.T.  COMMANDER,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New  Bern  District 

H.F.  LEATHERMAN,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

291 


dicate  areas  of  concern. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Raleigh  District 

W.B.  PETTEWAY,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

292 


crease. 

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

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

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

progressive  group  of  Methodists. 

EVANGELISM:  during  1976  Conference  year  the  pastors  and  laymen

increase.

ship of  the  Reverend  LaFon  C.  Vereen  we  will  be  in  the  new  facility  by 
Easter  this  year. 

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

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

293 


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

Rocky  Mount  District 

J.M.  CLINE,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

294 


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

Sanford  District 

J.H.  McCALLUM,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

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

295 


membership. 

Wilmington  District 

JAMES  A.  AUMAN,  DISTRICT  SUPERINTENDENT 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Methodist  Foundation,  Inc. 

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

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

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

Report  of  the  Joint  Advisory  Committee  on  Higher  Education 

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

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

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

Methodist  Information 

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

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

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

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

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

Division  of  Lay  Life  and  Work 

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

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

303 


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

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

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

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

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

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

304 


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

Ministerial  Course  of  Study  School 

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

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

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

Division  of  Stewardship 

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

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

305 


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

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

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

Four  Wills  and  Estate  Planning  Seminars  were  held  during  the  year.  On 
March  31,  1976,  a  Full  time  director  of  deferred  giving  was  employed.

and  Wills.

Department  of  Gifts  and  Wills 

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

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

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

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

Task  Force  on  the  Black  Church 

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

307 


Several  impacts  come  forth  from  the  report. 

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

B.  That  we  strengthen  existing  Black  congregations. 

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

Task  Force  on  Hunger 

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

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

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

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

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

308 


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

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

Division  of  Missions 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Report  of  the  Committee  on  Education  and  Cultivation 

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

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

310 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

311 


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

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

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

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

Church  and  Community  Committee 

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

312 


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

The  Town  and  Country  Parish  Development  Committee 

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

Urban  Committee 

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

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

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

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

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

Report  of  the  Committee  on  Church  Extension 

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

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

Summer  1975:  Parkwood,  Durham  $19,600.00 

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

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

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

Total  distributed  $28,600.00 

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

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

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

Division  of  Missions,  Inc.— 1975-1976 

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

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

Five  Churches  received  aid  through  the  Ten  Dollar  Club. 

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

Loan  funds  total  approximately  $1 ,400,000.00. 

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

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

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

314 


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

Committee  on  Parish  Travel 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

315 


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

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

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

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


Committee  on  Parsonage  Standards 

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

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

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

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

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

316 


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

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

Mrs.  James  A.  Auman,  Chairperson 


Status  and  Role  of  Women 

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

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

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

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

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

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

317 


women  have  been  elected  as  delegates  to  the  Jurisdictional  Conference. 

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

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

Conference  Board  of  Trustees 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

United  Methodist  Women 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

319 


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

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

1976  -  Highlights  of  first  five  months: 

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

1.  To  Deepen  spiritual  Relationships 

2.  Build  An  Informed  Community 

3.  Develop  Effective  Means  of  Communication 

4.  Strengthen  Ecumenical  Involvement 

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

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

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

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

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

320 


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

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

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

REPORT  OF  COMMITTEE  ON  CHRISTIAN  EDUCATORS 

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

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

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

(3)  2  weeks  vacation  over  all. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

338 


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

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

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

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

(6)  Work  schedule-recommendations: 

(a)  No  less  than  2  weeks  vacation 

(b)  One  full  weekend  off  per  quarter 

(c)  One  and  V£  days  off  per  week 

(d)  12  days  of  sick  pay  per  year 

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

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

THE  COMMISSION  ON  EQUITABLE  SALARIES 
Recommendations  for  1977 

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

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

Married  9000 

Single  8800 

Full-Time  Lay  Pastors 

One  or  more  dependent  children  8600 

Married  840o 

single  8200 

Student 

One  or  more  dependent  children  7200 

Married  7000 

Single  6800 

B.       Special  Recommendations: 

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

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

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

II.  Principles  Governing  the  Use  of  Equitable  Salary  Funds 

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

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

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

349 


mining  appropriations  from  Equitable  Salaries  Commission. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

350 


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

E.  Salary  budgets. 

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

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

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

B.  The  charge,  which  shall  indicate: 

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

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

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

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

INSURANCE  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

Report  No.  1 

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

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

Report  No.  2 

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

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

A.  One  of  the  churches  or  charges  of  the  North  Carolina  Con- 
ference. 

B.  One  of  the  institutions  or  agencies  of  this  Conference  receiving 
financial  support  from  the  Conference. 

C.  An  institution  or  agency  established  to  provide  a  ministry  or 
service  especially  for  this  Conference;  provided,  that  such  in- 


360 


stitution  or  agency  does  not  have  a  health  or  life  insurance 
program  in  which  the  minister  is  eligible  to  enroll. 
All  other  ministers  of  this  Conference  whose  credentials  beyond  that 
of  a  licensed  preacher  and  are  serving  full-time  under  Episcopal  Ap- 
pointment in  one  of  the  areas  as  described  in  A,  B,  C,  above. 

Report  No.  3 

Study  of  Disability  Income  Program 

The  1975  session  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  passed  a 
resolution  calling  for  the  Insurance  Committee  to  study  the 
feasibility  of  establishing  a  "Disability  Income  Program"  for 
ministers  of  the  Conference.  An  expression  of  concern  was  voiced 
from  the  floor  of  the  Conference  that  ministers  do  not  have  adequate 
protection  against  the  loss  of  income  resulting  from  total  disability 
and  in  view  of  the  high  cost  of  individual  disability  income  insurance 
policies,  it  was  suggested  that  the  North  Carolina  Conference  in- 
vestigate sponsorship  of  a  lower  cost  group  type  disability  income 
plan. 

Acting  on  the  resolution,  the  Insurance  Committee  requested  the  In- 
surance Consultants,  Hutchison  &  Associates,  Inc.,  to  make  an  in- 
depth  study  of  available  approaches  to  providing  disability  income 
benefits  and  to  present  to  the  Committee  its  recommendation  for  an 
overall  disability  income  plan  that  would  provide  an  adequate  level 
of  protection  in  the  event  of  total  disability. 

A  special  meeting  of  the  Insurance  Committee  was  held  on  February 
12,  1976  to  receive  and  consider  the  recommendations  of  the  Con- 
sultants and  based  on  the  results  of  this  meeting,  the  Insurance  Com- 
mittee makes  the  following  report : 

Basis  For  Study 

As  a  basis  of  its  study  of  the  status  of  disability  income  benefits 
available  to  ministers,  the  Insurance  Committee,  with  the  assistance 
of  the  Consultants : 

Reviewed  the  scope  of  disability  income  benefits  currently  available 
to  ministers  through  the  Social  Security  Program,  the  Emergency 
Aid  Fund  and  the  Reserve  Pension  Plan.  Also  considered  in  the 
review  were  benefits  available  under  special  circumstances,  such  as 
Workmen's  Compensation  for  occupational  related  disabilities  and 
Veteran's  Disability  benefits  for  ministers  eligible  for  such  benefits. 
Considered  the  relationship  of  available  current  disability  income 
benefits  to  current  salary  levels  to  determine  the  adequacy  of  present 
benefits  as  a  percentage  of  salary. 

Considered  the  underwriting  and  administrative  requirements  of 
various  disability  income  insurance  methods  including  Group  Long 
Term  Disability  Insurance  and  Group  Franchise  (individual  policy) 
contracts. 

361 


4.  Coordinated  with  members  of  the  Board  of  Pensions  and  the  Joint 
Committee  on  Disability  to  determine  the  basis  on  which  these  com- 
mittees administer  the  disability  income  benefits  that  are  currently 
available  from  the  Reserve  Pension  Fund  and  the  Emergency  Aid 
Fund. 

Findings  and  Observations 

As   a   result   of  the   above   study,    the   Insurance   Committee   has 
developed  the  following  findings  and  observations : 
1.  By  virtue  of  (a)  continued  increases  in  the  level  of  disability  income 
benefits  provided  by  the  Federal  Social  Security  Act,   (b)  the  exist- 
ence of  Emergency  Aid  Fund  benefits  of  up  to  $360  per  month  for  a 
period  of  up  to  12  months,  and  (c)  recent  action  taken  by  the  Board 
of  Pensions  to  provide  a  monthly  disability  income  benefit  up  to 
33J/3%    of  Conference    average   salary   for   ministers   on   disability 
leave  of  absence,   there  already  exists  within   the  North  Carolina 
Conference  a  broad  and  generally  adequate  program  of  disability 
incomme  benefits  for  the  vast  majority  of  ministers. 
For  example,  a  minister,  age  40,  earning  $10,000  per  year  ($833  per 
month)    would   be  entitled   to   approximately   $410   per  month  in 
Primary  Social  Security  disability  benefits  starting  with  the  fifth 
month  of  total  disability.  The  Reserve  Pension  Fund  would  provide  a 
monthly  benefit  of  $309    (33 J/3%  of  monthly  Conference  average 
salary  of  $926)  beginning  at  such  date  as  the  minister  is  approved  for 
disability  leave.  Total  monthly  benefits  from  Social  Security  and  the 
Reserve  Pension  Fund  in  this  example  would  equal  86.3%  of  the 
minister's  monthly  gross  salary.  Since  these  benefits  would  not  be 
taxable  to  the  minister  (no  tax  on  Social  Security  or  on  the  first  $100 
per  week  of  disability  benefits  paid  from  the  Reserve  Pension  Fund) , 
the  total  disability  income  benefit  would  exceed  100%  of  net  take- 
home  pay,  assuming  the  minister  is  in  a  15%  or  higher  tax  bracket. 
Whereas  these  benefits  would  not  generally  be  provided  for  casual  or 
short    term    disabilities,    the    Emergency    Aid    Fund    Benefits    are 
available  for  such  casual  and  short  term  disabilities  subject  to  deter- 
mination of  eligibility  by  the  Joint  Committee  on  Disability. 
2.  Because  of  the  level  of  disability  income  benefits  already  provided  by 
the  Conference,   the  implementation  of  a  Conference-wide  Group 
Long  Term   Disability   Insurance   Plan  would  not   benefit  a  vast 
majority  of  ministers,  since  the  insurance  carrier  integrates  current 
Conference  and/or  governmental  disability  benefits  with  the  benefits 
of  the  disability  insurance  plan  which  would  result  in  a  reasonable 
monthly  disability  insurance  benefit  being  available  only  to  those 
ministers  who  earn  in  excess  of  approximately  $16,000  per  year. 
Whereas  group  franchise  policies  do  not  integrate  with  other  Con- 
ference and/or  governmental  disability  income  benefits,  the  cost  and 
administrative  requirements  of  these  policies,   when  considered  in 
light  of  the  number  of  ministers  who  need  supplemental  long  term 
disability  income  protection,  do  not  make  this  approach  feasible  for 

362 


Conference-wide  sponsorship. 
3.  Whereas  there  are  a  small  number  of  ministers  who  have  elected  not 
to  participate  in  the  Federal  Social  Security  Program,  and  whereas 
there  are  a  relatively  small  number  of  ministers  whose  annual  salary 
is  such  that  existing  benefits  would  not  provide  a  monthly  disability 
income  benefit  equal  to  or  exceeding  60%  of  gross  salary,  which  is 
generally  considered  as  an  adequate  level  of  protection,  the  In- 
surance Committee  feels  that  these  are  individual  considerations 
requiring  individual  attention  on  the  part  of  the  minister  rather  than 
consideration  and  action  by  the  Conference. 

Recommendations 

Based  on  its  study  and  on  the  foregoing  findings  and  observations,  the  In- 
surance Committee  recommends  to  the  Annual  Conference : 

1.  That  in  view  of  the  level  of  disability  income  benefits  currently 
provided  by  the  Conference  and  by  existing  governmental  plans  and 
in  view  of  the  relatively  small  number  of  ministers  that  would  benefit 
from  a  Conference-wide  disability  insurance  plan,  no  action  be  taken 
by  the  Conference  to  establish  a  disability  insurance  plan  at  this 
time. 

2.  That  each  minister  who  is  concerned  about  or  has  a  special  need  for 
disability  income  benefits,  as  a  supplement  to  benefits  currently 
provided  by  the  Conference  and/or  governmental  programs,  seek  in- 
dividual professional  advice  from  a  qualified  insurance  or  financial 
counselor  to  determine  the  alternatives  that  are  available  for  meeting 
the  individual  concern  or  need.

THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE  LAY  WORKER 

"The  Committee  on  the  Lay  Worker  recommends  to  the  Annual  Con- 
ference that  the  minimum  salary  standards  for  Lay  Workers  be  at  least 
equal  to  standards  set  by  the  state  for  teachers  with  comparable  degrees  and 
experience.  We  further  move  that  at  the  Annual  Charge  Conference  the 
District  Superintendent  ask  the  local  Pastor- Parrish  Relations  Committee 
about  its  plans  to  bring  salary  support  for  the  Lay  Worker  up  to  these 
minimum  standards."

Mr.    Robert   Garrison,    Business  Administrator,    Hayes-Barton   United

The  Committee  on  the  Lay  Worker  calls  the  attention  of  the  Annual  Con- 
ference and  especially  the  attention  of  local  churches  employing  Lay 
Workers  to  Par.  507.1:  "The  employing  agency  shall  include  the  Lay 
Worker  in  the  retirement  plan  of  the  Lay  Employee  Pension  Fund  (Par. 
1377.12)  or  other  such  appropriate  plan  as  provided  by  the  Board  of  Pen- 
sions or  other  boards  or  agencies  of  the  United  Methodist  Church."  For  the 
sake  of  uniformity,  we  recommend  that  the  pension  plan  for  Lay  Workers  in 
the  North  Carolina  Conference  be  based  upon  an  annual  contribution  of 
9%  of  the  employee's  salary  — 6%  to  be  paid  by  the  employing  agency  and 
3%  by  the  employee  (or  some  combination  of  percentages  to  add  up  to 
9%). 

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

The  Committee  on  the  Lay  Worker  also  calls  upon  all  local  churches 
within  her  bounds  to  consider  a  pension  program,  as  well  as  hospitalization 

364 


and   life   insurance,    for   ALL    LAY   EMPLOYEES  — not   only   those   who 
qualify  as  Lay  Worker. 

The  North  Carolina  Conference  Committee  on  the  Lay  Worker  re- 
commends to  the  Annual  Conference  that  the  minimum  salary  standards 
for  Lay  Workers  be  at  least  equal  to  standards  set  by  the  state  for  teach- 
ers with  comparable  degrees  and  experience.  We  further  move  that  at 
the  Annual  Charge  Conference  the  District  Superintendent  ask  the  local 
Pastor-Parrish  Relations  Committee  about  its  plans  to  bring  salary  sup- 
port for  the  Lay  Worker  up  to  these  minimum  standards.

HOUSING  EXCLUSION  ALLOWANCE 

REPORT  II 

INTERNAL    REVENUE  SERVICE   DOCUMENT   NO.    5045    (10-67) 
DECLARES 

"Rental  Value  of  Home  Furnished  a  Clergyman,  and  cost  of  utilities 
paid  for  him,  as  pan  of  his  compensation  for  carrying  out  his  du6es  as 
clergyman,  are  not  income  to  him.  if  he  is  duly  ordained,  licensed,  or  com- 
missioned." 

A  Rental  Allowance  to  Clergyman,  paid  as  part  of  his  compensation,  is 
not  income  to  the  extent  he  used  it,  in  the  year  received,  to  provide  a 
home,  or  pay  utilities  for  a  home  furnished  him.  However,  the  church,  or 
organization  which  employs  him  must  have  officially  designated  the 
payment  as  a  rental  allowance  before  the  payment  was  made." 

"The  above  rules  are  also  applicable  to  retired  clergymen  where  a  rent- 
free  home  or  rental  allowance  is  furnished  him  in  recognition  of  past  ser- 
vices in  carrying  out  his  duties  as  a  clergyman." 
A  REVISED  RULING.  63.  156,  163  2  CB  79  STATES: 

..the  rental  value  of  the  home  furnished  to  a  retired  minister  as  part  of 
his  compensation  for  services  is  excludable  from  his  gross  income  under 
Section  107  ( 1 )  of  the  Code.  Also,  the  rental  allowance  paid  to  him  as  part 
of  his  compensation  for  past  services  is  excludable  under  Section  107  (2)  of 
the  Code,  to  the  extent  used  by  him  for  expenses  directly  related  to 
providing  a  home."  (See  Code  Sec.  107,  Reg.  1.107.1     1103.01) 

Therefore  the  following  resolution  is  presented  to  the  North  Carolina 
Conference  of  the  United  Methodist  Church,  meeting  in  Fayetteville, 
North  Carolina : 

Whereas,  The  United  Methodist  Church  has  a  tradition  of  providing 
housing  (a  parsonage)  for  its  ministers,  or  in  instances  where  no  parsonage 
is  owned  by  the  charge,  giving  the  minister  a  housing  allowance ; 

Whereas,  Retired  Ministers  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  are  en- 
titled to  the  same  privileges  as  those  in  the  Effective  Relationship:  and 

Whereas,  the  most  practical  method  of  providing  housing  for  the 
Retired  Ministers  is  by  means  of  rental  allowance; 

Therefore  Be  It  Resolved,  that  the  amount  of  $3,000.00  per  year  be  set 
as  a  fair  and  reasonable  rental  allowance  for  each  Retired  Minister  of  this 
annual  conference;  that  the  first  $3,000.00  paid  to  a  Retired  Minister  each 
year  by  The  Board  of  Pensions  of  The  North  Carolina  Conference  of  the 
United  Methodist  Church  and  $2,100.00  of  this  is  designated  as  the 
payment  of  this  Housing  Allowance  and  $900.00  for  Utility  Allowance. 
The  Housing  Allowance  is  specifically  designated  as  compensation  to  the 
minister  for  the  cost  of  renting  or  providing  housing  for  himself  and  his 
family  and  those  costs  related  thereto,  pursuant  to  the  Code  as  stated  in 
Document  5045  (10  67). 

The  Board  of  Pensions  emphasizes  that  the  Retired  Minister  who  uses 
this  Housing  Allowance  must  be  able  to  furnish  proof  that  he  made  ex- 
penditures in  the  amounts  claimed.  If  the  full  $2600.00  cannot  be  sub- 
stantiated as  expenditures,  then  claim  should  be  made  only  for  those 
amounts  which  can  be  verified. 


382 


We  also  remind  the  minister  who  uses  this  allowance,  that  the  amount 
he  claims  as  a  Housing  Allowance  exclusion  must  be  included  as  Income  in 
reporting  his  Social  Security.  It  is  possible  that  reduced  Social  Security 
benefits  would  offset  any  claims  for  the  Housing  Allowance  exclusion. 
Please  consult  your  Social  Security  Advisor  about  this  matter. 

Further,  the  Board  of  Pensions  absolves  itself  of  any  responsibility  in  the 
event  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  disallows  any  housing  allowance 
claimed. 

MINISTERS  RETIREMENT  FUND 
CONSTITUTION  AMENDMENTS 


REPORT  III 

To  provide  a  more  consistent  and  equitable  basis  for  administering  the 
Ministers'  Retirement  Fund  we  recommend  the  following  revisions  in  the 
Constitution  (see  page  326  of  the  1975JOURNAL)  : 

Assessments:  The  first  paragraph  now  reads  as  follows:  "Each  charge  in 
the  conference  shall  be  required  to  pay  into  the  Ministers'  Retirement 
Fund  annually  an  amount  equal  to  1  %  of  the  conference  average  salary  as 
determined  by  The  General  Board  of  Pensions  for  each  minister  under 
episcopal  appointment  to  that  charge." 

We  recommend  this  paragraph  be  revised  to  read  as  follows:  "For  the 
benefit  of  this  fund  there  shall  be  placed  in  the  conference  budget  annually 
an  amount  equal  to  one  per  cent  (1%)  of  the  total  salaries  and  utilities  paid 
to  all  pastors  and  associates  of  the  conference  based  upon  the  Conference 
Journal  figures  for  the  year  preceding  the  year  in  which  the  budget  request 
is  made  to  the  Annual  Conference.  This  amount  will  be  apportioned  to  the 
charges  on  the  same  basis  as  all  other  conference  budget  items. 

We  further  recommend  that  in  the  second  paragraph  the  word  travel  be 
deleted  from  the  sources  of  income  upon  which  the  ministers'  one  percent 
(1%)  payment  to  the  fund  is  based  and  that  this  revision  become  effective 
with  the  payments  to  be  made  by  the  ministers  based  upon  their 
renumeration  for  the  calendar  year  1976. 

We  recommend  this  paragraph  be  revised  to  read  as  follows:  "Each 
minister  shall  pay  into  the  fund  one  percent  (1%)  of  all  money  excluding 
travel  he  or  she  receives  each  year  from  the  charge  or  charges  he  or  she  is 
serving,  and/or  conference  sources  (this  includes  salary,  utility  allowances, 
minimum  salary  fund  payments,  Duke  Endowment  funds,  and  missionary 
sources. ) "

REPORT  OF  THE  METHODIST  BOARD  OF  PUBLICATION,  INC. 
I.  General  Statement 

For  many  years  the  Methodist  Board  of  Publication,  Inc.,  has 
recognized  that  its  main  responsibility  has  been  the  publication  of  the 
North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate.  For  most  of  those  years,  it  operated  a 
printing  concern  in  connection  with  its  publishing  responsibility.  The  lat- 
ter operation  was  brought  to  an  end  in  December,  1974,  when  the  print 
shop  was  leased  to  Emporium  Printing  and  Packaging  Co.  After  almost 
two  years  of  operation,  Emporium  decided  to  terminate  this  phase  of  its 
operation.  As  a  result  of  this  step,  your  Board  was  presented  with  the  op- 
portunity to  sell  all  of  its  printing  equipment  at  the  fair  market  value  of 
$50,000.  The  sale,  which  was  consummated  in  Novemeber,  1975,  was  to 
Media,  Inc.,  of  Greensboro. 

The  large,  two-story  Advocate  building  at  429  W.  Friendly  Ave.  in 
Greensboro  has  been  vacated  and  is  being  offered  for  sale.  The  editorial 
offices  of  the  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate  have  been  moved  to  the 
campus  of  Greensboro  College,  where  a  suite  of  three  rooms  has  been 
made  available  by  that  institution. 

Circulation  of  the  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate  has  remained  at 
approximately  15,000  to  16,000  subscriptions  during  the  past  year. 

Your  Board  is  aware  of  the  fact  that  the  North  Carolina  Christian  Ad- 
vocate is  a  service  arm  of  the  church.  As  a  significant  communications 
medium,  its  role  is  crucial  to  the  welfare  of  our  people.  The  failure  to  share 
in  the  service  which  it  offers  should  be  viewed  with  concern,  if  not  alarm. 
In  promotion  of  circulation  among  our  churches,  your  Board  and  the 
limited  staff  of  the  Advocate  must  lean  heavily  upon  the  leadership  of 
pastors  and  local  church  administrative  leaders.  We  call  upon  the  pastors 
and  the  lay  leadership  of  our  two  conferences  to  give  renewed  vigor  in 
promotion  of  the  subscription  campaign  proposed  in  our  list  of  recom- 
mendations. 

We  take  note  of  the  fact  that  Dr.  James  C.  Stokes,  who  has  completed  a 
decade  as  editor-business  manager,  is  retiring  as  of  June,  1976.  At  our 
Board  meeting  in  November,  1975,  when  this  information  was  announced, 
your  Board  expressed  to  him  its  commendation  for  his  services  and 
achievements. 

Our  resolution  included  the  following:  "We  commend  Dr.  Stokes  for  his 
faithful  and  dependable  leadership,  for  his  courageous  and  prophetic 
editorials,  and  for  the  many  advances  in  Christian  journalism  evidenced  in 
the  issues  of  the  Advocate."  We  are  sure  that  this  annual  conference  joins 
with  the  Board  in  sharing  the  sentiments  expressed  at  our  November 
meeting. 

It  gives  us  pleasure  to  announce  that  the  Rev.  C.  Alison  Simonton  of  the 
North  Carolina  Conference  will  assume  the  editorship,  upon  appointment 
to  the  post  by  Biship  Robert  M.  Blackburn  at  the  June  session  of  the  con- 
ference. Mr.  Simonton  brings  to  the  position  an  unusual  array  of  gifts  and 
qualifications.  We  covet  for  him  your  enthusiastic  support  as  he  enters  into 
his  new  labors. 

The  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate,  while  being  the  official  news 

384 


journal  for  the  North  Carolina  and  the  Western  North  Carolina  con 
ferences,  in  a  larger  sense  belongs  to  all  of  the  rank  and  file  of  pastors  and 
church  members  in  our  great  state.  It  has  had  a  distinguished  past,  and 
holds  forth  good  promise  for  an  even  greater  future.  We  call  upon  you  of 
this  annual  conference  and  upon  all  of  the  people  whom  you  represent  to 
join  with  your  Methodist  Board  of  Publication  and  with  the  new  editor  in  a 
great  forward  movement  in  this  publishing  enterprise.  Our  goal  in  all  of 
this  is  not  simply  the  enhancement  of  this  distinguished  publication,  but 
through  it  the  glorification  of  Christ,  our  Lord,  and  the  building  up  of  His 
Church. 

We  Recommend  That 

1 .  A  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate  subscription  campaign  be  held 
annually  in  each  local  church.  The  dates  of  the  campaign  to  be  from 
January  15  through  February  15  for  the  Western  North  Carolina  An- 
nual Conference  and  from  February  15  through  March  15  for  the 
North  Carolina  Annual  Conference.  The  purpose  of  the  Advocate 
Campaign  will  be  to  give  each  local  church  an  opportunity  to  con- 
centrate on  Advocate  subscriptions  both  new  and  renewal.  Special 
rates  will  be  limited  to  the  campaign  time-slot  except  for  those 
received  from  the  1976  annual  conference  session  until  February  15, 
1977,  for  the  Western  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  and  until 
March  15,  1977,  in  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  when 
special  group  rates  will  apply  and  all  subscriptions  received  during 
these  times  will  apply  against  the  church  and  district  quotas.  The 
purpose  of  including  the  months  from  the  1976  annual  conference 
sessions  until  the  time  of  the  1977  campaigns  in  the  respective  con- 
ferences is  to  get  us  moving  immediately  on  subscriptions. 

2.  The  quota  of  Advocate  subscriptions  for  each  local  church  for  the 
period  from  the  annual  conference  session  in  June  1976  through 
February  15,  1977,  for  the  Western  North  Carolina  Annual  Con- 
ference and  through  March  15,  1977,  for  the  North  Carolina  Annual 
Conference  be  one  Advocate  subscription  for  every  six  members 
based  on  each  church's  reported  total  full  membership  in  the  1975 
Journals  of  the  respective  conferences.  Where  the  membership  is  not 
divisible  by  six  the  next  highest  number  will  become  the  quota 
(Example:  a  church  with  43  members  divided  by  six  equals  a  quota 
of  7-  !/3  ;  thus,  the  quota  in  this  case  would  be  8) . 

3.  The  quota  in  each  district  will  be  the  sum  of  the  quotas  of  its  local 
churches  and  that  this  district  quota  be  carried  in  all  regular  reports 
or  mailings  by  the  district's  and/or  conferences  to  the  local  churches 
along  with  each  district's  progress  made  to  reach  its  quota  in  the 
form  of  subscriptions  received. 

4.  The  district  superintendents  of  the  annual  conferences  report  by  July 
1 ,  1976,  the  quotas  of  their  churches  to  the  proper  annual  conference 
agency  responsible  for  making  regular  mailings  to  the  churches  so 
that  reports  on  Advocate  subscriptions,  and  each  church's  progress 
on  reaching  its  quota,  may  be  regularly  available  to  all  of  the 
churches. 


385 


5.  Each  local  church,  not  having  already  made  a  report,  be  prepared  to 
report  to  the  1976  fall  Charge  Conference  progress  made  to  date  in 
reaching  its  quota. 

6.  Each  district  superintendent  be  asked  to  designate  a  District  Director 
of  Promotion  for  the  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate  in  the 
promotion  of  circulation. 

7.  Each  local  church  nominate  to  the  1976  fall  Charge  Conference  the 
name  of  a  person  to  be  its  Advocate  Campaign  chairperson  and  this 
person  be  a  member  of  the  Administrative  Board  of  that  church. 

8.  That  the  subscription  rate  be  $3.25  a  year  for  subsriptions  in  Gold 
Star  churches  with  the  number  of  subscriptions  for  this  category 
being  one  subscription  for  every  3.5  members  based  on  each  church's 
reported  total  full  membership  in  the  1975  Journals  of  the  respective 
conferences,  $4.00  a  year  for  those  churches  which  meet  their  quota 
during  the  campaign  period,  which  for  the  new  conference  year  only 
will  include  the  "early  period"  from  the  date  of  the  respective  annual 
conferences  until  the  close  of  their  campaign  dates  as  specified  in 
recommendation  number  one  above,  $4.25  a  year  for  the  All  Ad- 
ministrative Board  Plan,  and  $4.50  a  year  for  individual  sub- 
scriptions. Those  churches  reaching  their  quotas  by  the  end  of  the 
campaigns  in  1977  in  their  respective  conferences  will  receive  a  10% 
refund.  The  refund  check  will  be  sent  to  the  church  or  an 
organization  designated  by  the  church.  No  refunds  will  be  sent  to  in- 
dividuals. Gold  Star  churches  may  add  new  subscriptions  for  new 
families  for  $3.25  a  year  throughout  the  year  until  the  next  year's  an- 
nual Advocate  Campaign. 

9.  As  soon  as  it  is  economically  feasible,  the  Advocate  be  published 
weekly. 

10.  We  further  recommend  the  following: 

Whereas  current  appraisals  of  the  Board's  property  at  429  W. 
Friendly  Avenue  in  Greensboro.  N.C.  set  the  value  at  less  than  had 
previously  been  estimated,  your  Board  hereby  request  sales  price  at  a 
lower  figure  than  that  approved  by  the  annual  conference  of  June, 
1973;  the  Board  being  authorized  to  accept  a  sales  offer  in  ac 
cordance  with  its  best  judgment.

On  behalf  of  the  members  and  delegates  of  this  one  hundred  and  fifty-

for  the  benefit  of  this  Annual  conference  Session  and  you  have  done  these 
things  in  such  a  beautiful  manner.  Thank  you  good  and  faithful  servants.

his  very  throughtful  sermon  to  the  ordinands.  for  the  Bread  of  Life  so  per- 
suasively offered,  for  the  treasure  in  a  clay  pot  so  penetrating  as  it  was 
pored  out,  we  bow  in  gratitude  to  God  for  our  Conference  preacher,  Doc- 
tor Ernest  T.  Campbell.  And  we  are  thankful  for  the  fresh  jokes,  especially 
the  one  about  the  man  who  got  off  and  on  the  train. 

For  one  of  the  highest  moments  of  inspiration  and  with  our  hearts  still 
aglow,  did  not  our  hearts  burn  within  us  at  the  dramatic  presentation 
"Susannah  Wesley?"  We  declare  our  appreciation  for  this  sterling  presen- 
tation by  Mrs.  Marion  Conner. 

To  Sue  Henry  and  her  staff  we  offer  Thanks  for  the  Cokesbury  Book 
store  display. 

We  express  delight  again  this  year  that  many  of  our  young  men  and 
women,  and  young  adults  participated  in  the  sessions  of  the  conference. 
We  note  with  gladness  and  appreciation  the  large  number  of  laymen  and 
laywomen  attending  and  participating  in  all  sessions. 

To  our  Conference  Secretary,  Jim  Coile  and  the  staff  he  has  assembled 
we  give  Thanks  for  many  hours  of  labor  in  our  behalf  and  also  for  the  team 
spirit  that  has  been  evident  in  your  work.  Well  done,  thou  good  and  faith- 
ful servants. 

In  this  last  year  of  the  quadrennium  we  express  our  deep  gratitude  to 
Mary  Jeanne  Blackburn  for  adding  so  much  charm,  graciousness,  and  war- 
mth for  three  of  these  years  and  we  send  our  love  to  her  on  this  fourth  year 
with  the  words,  "We  missed  you  so  much." 

Bishop  Robert  Blackburn  has  been  with  us  for  a  quadrennium.  For  his 
fairness  and  patience  as  presiding  officer,  for  his  openness  and  availability 

387 


as  our  chief  pastor,  for  his  willingness  to  face  tough  decisions  and  not 
sweep  them  under  the  rug,  for  the  strong  challenge  of  his  episcopal  leader- 
ship, for  his  devoted  preaching  of  the  word,  for  the  inspiration  of  his 
presence  among  us  as  a  Christian  person,  we  here  and  now  declare  our 
highest  appreciation  and  give  Thanks  to  God  for  our  Bishop.  We  express 
appreciation  to  our  Bishop  and  the  Division  of  Ministry  for  the  impressive

mittee, Thank  you  for  well  prepared  reports  and  for  the  ambitious  plans 
presented  to  us  for  our  work  in  the  future.  One  of  the  greatest  blessings  of 
this  Annual  conference  and  we  give  Thanks  to  God  for  it,  has  been  each 
other.  For  this  time  of  meeting  and  greeting  each  other  in  the  spirit  of 
Christian  Community  we  praise  Thee,  O  God.  Yes,  we  are  Thankful  for 
each  one  who  has  been  present.  Add  all  of  these  blessings  together  and  we 
must  acknowledge  and  accept  all  of  them  as  evidence  of  God's  Love  to  us. 
So  to  our  living  Lord  Jesus  Christ  be  all  praise  and  honor  and  glory  for  the 
blessed  gift  of  His  Holy  Spirit  in  This  Pentecost  Week.

Resolution  in  Memory  of  Mrs.  Eda  M.  Rogers 

Eight  years  ago  in  this  auditorium  the  1968  Session  of  the  North 
Carolina  Annual  Conference  elected  me  as  your  Conference  Treasurer- 
Business  Administrator.  I  began  to  assume  the  duties  and  responsibilities 
of  this  office  with  fear  and  trembling.  But  I  soon  discovered  in  the 
Treasurer's  Office  Staff  a  team  effort  and  spirit  which  dispelled  the  anxiety 
which  I  had  previously  experienced. 

389 


One  member  of  this  staff  was  Mrs.  Eda  Rogers,  assistant  secretary.  In 
her  responsibilities  as  assistant  treasurer,  she  was  coordinator  of  office  ac- 
tivities and  secretary  to  the  Treasurer.  Eda  Rogers  was  one  of  the  most  ef- 
ficient persons  I  have  ever  known.  Her  dedication  to  her  job  left  nothing 
to  be  desired.  Her  loyalty  to  me  and  to  the  conference  could  at  no  times 
be  questioned.  But  more  important  than  any  of  these  qualities  is  the 
fact  that  she  was  a  beautiful  Christian  person.  Her  life  day  by  day  bore  the 
fruits  of  the  indwelling  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  She  was  an  unusually  unselfish 
person,  always  thinking  of  the  welfare  and  the  well-being  of  others.  She 
was  always  cheerful  in  her  service  to  and  relationship  with  others,  and  for 
twenty-one  years  was  a  faithful  servant  of  this  conference  through  the  Con- 
ference Treasurer's  Office. 

On  May  6,  1976,  following  a  brief  illness,  Eda  Rogers  passed  from  this 
physical  life  into  the  next  phase  of  her  eternal  life. 

Therefore,  I  move  that  this  session  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Con- 
ference stand  for  a  brief  period  of  silence  in  her  memory  and  in  ap- 
preciation for  her  many  years  of  effective  and  dedicated  service  to  this  Nor- 
th Carolina  Conference. 

(The  Conference  stood  in  silence.  Editor)

Lay  Workers  as  Voting  Delegates 

Recognizing  that  Diaconal  Ministers  (Lay  Workers)  are  professional 
persons  ministering  in  the  United  Methodist  Church,  and  whereas  the 
General  Conference  voted  to  give  the  Annual  Conference  the  privilege  of 
granting  consecrated  Lay  Workers  voting  delegate  status  to  the  Annual 
Conference;  we  move  that  the  consecrated  Lay  Workers  of  the  North 
Carolina  Conference  be  given  this  right,  within  the  framework  of  the  Lay 
Equalization  plan,  and  ask  that  the  implementation  be  referred  to  the  Lay 
Equalization  Committee.

Nominations  Study  Committee 

Be  it  resolved  that  a  study  Committee  made  up  of  three  Cabinet  Mem- 
bers, three  Pastors,  and  six  lay  persons  be  appointed  by  the  Bishop  to  study 
the  process  for  making  nominations  to  Annual  Conference  and  General 
Conference  Boards  and  Agencies  and  to  prepare  a  proposal  amending  the 
Standing  Rules  of  the  Annual  Conference  in  order  to  expedite  nominating 
and  electing  process  while  at  the  same  time  giving  the  delegates  of  the  An- 
nual Conference  the  opportunity  to  participate  fully  in  the  election

Be  it  further  resolved  that  the  Council  on  Finance  and  Administration 
provide  adequate  funding  for  the  Study. 

Youth-Young  Adult  Delegates 

The  Lay  Clergy  Equalization  Committee  recommends  that  the  three 
Youth/Young  Adult  at  large  delegates  to  Annual  Conference  from  each 
district  be  selected  by  a  committee  composed  of  the  District  Superin- 
tendent as  Chairman,  the  District  Coordinator  of  Youth  Ministries  and  the 
District  Coordinator  of  Young  Adult  Ministries. 

Lay-Clergy  Equalization  Committee

College  be  made  members  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  conference  sub- 
ject to  their  meeting  the  Disciplinary  requirements.  Their  order  of 
precedence  in  the  Lay  Equalization  Formular  will  follow  the  Lay  Persons 
selected  by  virtue  of  the  office  they  hold  and  prior  to  the  Lay  Persons  selec- 
ted from  the  local  churches.

Trustees  of  the  Methodist  Retirement  Home  Inc.  to  review  their  financial

WHEREAS,  moving  is  part  of  our  itinerant  system,  and 

WHEREAS,  the  reimbursements  now  paid  by  the  Conference  do  not

Economic  Development,  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Staff  Personnel  Committee  of  the  Conference  Council

Regarding  Chaplains  for  the  North  Carolina  Division  of  Prisons 


Whereas: 


Whereas: 


Whereas: 


Wh< 


From  :  Board  of  Church  and  Society 
There   are   only   three   full-time   Chaplains   in   the 
North  Carolina  Division  of  Prisons  to  provide  reli- 
gious ministry  to  12,600  inmates  in  77  prisons  across 
the  state;  and 
There  is  no  Chaplain's  position  at : 

Polk  Youth  Center  in  Raleigh  where  490  young 
men  are  confined. 

Harnett  Youth  Center  where  510  young  men  are 
confined. 

Caledonia  Prison  where  566  adult  men  are  con- 
fined. 

Odom  Prison  where  385  men  are  confined. 

Craggy  Prison  where  220  men  are  confined. 

Blanch  Prison  where  105  men  are  in  close  custody; 
and 

In  65  "field  units"  across  the  state  religious  ministry  is 
made  available  mostly  by  volunteers;  and 
Neighboring  states  have  privided  Chaplaincy  ser- 


South  Carolina  has  10  full-time  chaplains; 

Georgia  has  9  full-time  chaplains; 

Florida  has  26  full-time  chaplains  and  12  part- 
time  chaplains: 
Now,  therefore,  be  it  resolved  that  the  North  Carolina  Conference  of  the 
United  Methodist  Church  call  upon  the  North  Carolina  General  Assembly 
to  fund  the  proposal  of  the  Department  of  Corrections,  calling  for 
$136,000  to  provide  chaplain  services  for  our  prison  population. 

Supporting  a  Criminal  Victim  Compensation  Act  for  the  State  of  North 
Carolina 

From:  Board  of  Church  and  Society 
Whereas:  The  state  owes  a  duty  to  each  individual  to  protect 

them  from  crime,  and; 
Whereas:  When  the  state  fails  in  this  duty,  the  state  ought  to 

reimburse     the    victim     of    crime    for     the    injury 
sustained,  and; 
Whereas:  Twelve  states  have  already  enacted  such  legislation: 

New  York,  California,  Hawaii,  Maryland, 
Massachusetts,  New  Jersey,  Alaska,  Illinois, 
Delaware,  Rhode  Island,  Washington  and  Wiscon- 
sin: 

Now,  therefore,  be  it  resolved  that  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 
of  the  United  Methodist  Church  call  upon  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
state  of  North  Carolina  to  enact  a  Criminal  Victim  Compensation  Act,  to 
include  widows  and  families  of  law  enforcement  officials  killed  or  injured 


393 


in  the  performance  of  duty,  any  victim  of  violent  crime  who  suffers 
physical  injury  and/or  loss  of  time  from  employment,  any  "good 
Samaritan,"  who  is  injured  in  the  assistance  of  a  law  enforcement  official 
in  the  performance  of  his  duty,  and  any  citizen  injured  through  police  ac- 
tion. 

Concerning  administration  of  jails  in  North  Carolina 
From  :  Board  of  Church  and  Society 
Whereas:  The  administration  of  jails  in  North  Carolina  is  a 

national  disgrace ;  and 
Whereas:  There  is  a  lack  of  uniformity  of  supervision,   ad- 

ministration and  facilities;  and 
Whereas:  There   is   a   need   for  standardization  of  facilities, 

management,  staff  and  care  of  prisoners : 
Now,  therefore,  be  it  resolved  that  the  North  Carolina  Conference  of  the 
United  Methodist  Church  expresses  its  concern  about  our  jails  to  the 
County  Commissioners  in  the  100  counties  of  the  state  of  North  Carolina; 
Be  it  further  resolved  that  local  churches  work  to  effect  change  where 
such  is  needed. 

Concerning  the  humanization  of  Prisons  in  North  Carolina 
From  :  Board  of  Church  and  Society 
Whereas:  The  prisons  in  North  Carolina  are  inhuman  places  of 

terror;  and 
Whereas:  Safety   and  security  in   our  prison   system   is   at   a 

minimum;  and 
Whereas:  Helping  and  rehabilitation  programs  touch  only  a 

few;  and 
Whereas:  Our  present  prisons  tend  to  reinforce  criminal  at- 

titudes and  behavior,  and  recidivism  rates  are  high 
for  those  who  serve  prison  sentences,  and 
Whereas:  If    the    physical    safety    of    all    caged    adults    and 

juveniles,  men  and  women,  were  achieved,  we  could 
more  responsibly  address  larger  questions  like  the 
diminution    of    crime    and    the    rehabilitation    of 
criminals: 
Now,  therefore,  be  it  resolved  that  the  North  Carolina  Conference  of  The 
United  Methodist  Church  call  upon  the  North  Carolina  General  Assembly 
and  the  North  Carolina  Department  of  Corrections  to  develop  a  more 
adequate  and  humane  prison  system  aimed  at:  alleviating  overcrowding; 
a  full  policy  of  rehabilitation  and  human  respect;  provide  adequate  protec- 
tion of  inmates ;  provide  fully  adequate  medical  attention ;  afford  proper 
food,  recreation  and  physical  conditions;  develop  serious  educational  and 
vocational  programs;   rejecting  absolutely  any  practices  of  brutality  and 
harassment;    and  in  other  ways  develop  programs  aimed  toward  a  full 
policy  of  rehabilitation  and  human  respect.

SECTION  VII 
STATISTICAL  TABLES 


NOTE: 

An  explanation  of  the  numbering  system  : 

The  charge  number  for  stations  or  circuits  continues  in  use  as  heretofore 
and  is  subject  to  change  when  any  change  in  a  name  or  alignment  affects 
the  alphabetical  listing. 

The  new  CHURCH  numbers  have  been  assigned  to  all  local  churches  per- 
manently for  the  benefit  of  persons  doing  research.  The  letters  indicate  the 
county  (by  abbreviation)  in  which  the  church  is  located.  The  figures  are 
the  church  number  within  its  county. 
NOTE  ON  TABLE  2A  SINGLE  FIGURE  ASKING 
The  Conference  Budget  is  distributed  as  follows :   (1975) 
General  Fund  Num.  ber  Percen.
