2 Living Into the Decisions We've Made Author: The Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde By your fruits you shall be known. Matthew 7.16 What happens after we make a decision matters as much as the decision itself. That s true for us in our personal lives and certainly in our faith communities. In the five weeks since Diocesan Convention made two significant decisions on our collective behalf, your diocesan leadership has taken to heart its responsibility to discern the first steps toward the vision set before us. As a reminder, at convention we unanimously approved a resolution to foster deeper collaborative relationships through a reinvigorated regional structure, and we unanimously passed a budget that includes significant resources for congregational grants and the goal of establishing a long-term financial strategy for all congregations. Since then, your diocesan leaders have been praying and working our way toward the first steps in the post-convention implementation process. On our collective behalf, I offer deep gratitude for all who have given so generously of their time and energy toward our common mission. After a day-long retreat with more than 50 diocesan leaders, followed by several small group conversations and times of quiet reflection, Diocesan Council approved this week the following course of action: Congregational Visits: Four teams of diocesan leaders will share the work of making individual visits to every congregation in the diocese over the next year. Each team will consist of a senior member of diocesan staff (Paul Cooney, canon to the ordinary; the Rev. Paula Clark, canon for clergy development and multicultural ministries; Kathleen Hall, director of human resources and administration; or myself) and two or three members of either Diocesan Council, Standing Committee, or the Diocesan Finance Committee. We will ask clergy and wardens to determine what members of the congregation should join the conversation. Some may choose to include the entire vestry and financial leaders; others may opt for a smaller group or wider representation. The purpose of the congregational visits is to listen and strengthen the relationship between congregational and diocesan leaders, so that we might better understand the opportunities and challenges our congregations face. In particular, we seek a better understanding of the financial realities of each congregation. Such an understanding is essential in developing a comprehensive financial strategy for congregations and thus for the diocese. We will pray together and listen to the vision and dreams God has entrusted to our congregational leaders. We want to hear about what gives you joy and what might be holding you back. We ll explore practical matters: stewardship initiatives, capital campaigns, financial planning resources, physical plant needs, and opportunities for growth. We ll also be prepared to discuss all aspects of diocesan ministry and where congregational resources are invested. As we consider diocesan level ministry and staffing for the next decade, we want to know what would be of most help and support to congregations. We are forming the teams now and will begin the scheduling process after Easter. Our goal is begin our conversations in May 2016, to be completed by June With 88 parishes, each group would make two to three visits per month. We have made bold decisions together and now is the time to live into what we have decided. We know that the challenges before us are bigger, the opportunities are greater, and the vision God has entrusted to us is larger than any one congregation can realize on its own. But with God s help and alongside one another, we can accomplish far more than we can ask for or imagine. I believe our best days as a church are ahead of us. And I m honored to walk alongside you in the way of Jesus.
3 New Regional Structure: Our first task is to convene an exploratory conversation in each of the new regions. We will ask one or two leaders of each region to assist in that convening role, with the goal of holding the informal conversations between Easter and July 4. At those initial meetings participants will consider possibilities and gauge energy and interest. Joey Rick, canon for congregational vitality, will participate in all conversations and assist in identifying next steps. Thanks to the clergy of the new Central Montgomery County region, who have already held such a meeting and followed up with in-depth conversations, we have a working template for these first regional get-togethers. Given the diversity of our congregations, we anticipate considerable variety in these first gatherings and will rely on the Holy Spirit s guidance and the initial group s wisdom in moving forward. First Congregational Grants Our best estimate, based on increased congregational giving, is that we will have approximately $100,000 for growth and opportunity grants this year. This is wonderful news! Diocesan Council has asked a small working group to meet and bring to our April meeting proposed guidelines for the grant-making process. Our intention is to begin receiving grant applications in May. The first steps I ve outlined here are in service to a larger vision of fruitful ministry that will take years to realize. And even as we take these first steps, we know there is much that we will learn along the way. Good Friday Offering Supports Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East Presiding Bishop Michael Curry asks all congregations to participate in the Good Friday Offering, a decades-old tradition that serves as an important statement of our solidarity with the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. The Diocese of Washington has maintained a companion relationship with the Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East since Our own Lois Manderson pictured with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry at the Absalom Jones celebration at the Cathedral in January. The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East operates dozens of parishes, numerous schools and institutes of learning for children K-12 and adults, and several clinics, hospitals and rehabilitation centers. The school and medical facility serve Muslims, Christians and people of all faiths throughout Palestine and the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
