Those delegates seated in sections other than those designated for voting delegates will not have their votes counted. Authorization to print or copy materials or to secure caucus rooms is required from either the Secretary of Convention or Canon Jack Spaeth. She asked that there be no distribution or placement of any written material in the vendor or registration area without her prior approval.

The Committee on the Bishop s Address will meet in the Library after Evensong, if necessary. Standing Committee ballots were distributed during Registration and will be collected between noon-1pm.

On the second ballot, the candidate with the highest number of votes will be elected. The Rev. Nancy Cox, of the Resolutions Committee, stated that there are no late resolutions to be introduced as new business to this Convention. 38

39 After a few logistical announcemetns about lunch, the Bishop called Convention into recess until 1pm. Noonday Prayer was led by Convention Chaplain Janet Waggoner. Convention was reconvened at 1:17pm. Bishop Smith gave his annual Address to Convention. Bishop s Address The Rt. Rev. Drew Smith As I prepared for this convention address, the eleventh that I have given, my mind is filled with thoughts of our life together over these almost fourteen years, of things done, and things that didn t get done. Most of all I ve been thinking of the holy privilege of relationships in Christ Jesus that are such a part of this ministry and have been such a gift to me at all times and in all places. To serve the church as the Bishop of Connecticut is a blessing beyond measure. I went back and read the very first address that I gave here in October, 1999, just two weeks after Bishop Coleridge had passed the Diocesan Crosier over to me. In that address, I did name three general concentrations for our shared Christian life as a diocese, which were mission, stewardship, and youth. In the time of our service together in the years since, those three focuses have remained a constant. Mission, it is so very clear in scripture that the church is called together by God, formed by the word and empowered by the spirit, not for its own sake, or even for the sake of its members, but to carry forward, expand, and work to fulfill the mission of Jesus. And that mission includes, evangelism and actions of social justice. It includes publicly identifying ourselves as belonging to God in Christ Jesus, and in public, inviting others into new life in Christ. It includes bringing divine wisdom, purpose, and mercy into civil discourse and public policy. And underneath that shared ministry over this past decade, we ve begun to turn around and face more outward and actually step outward, out to others with new joy and confidence. On visitations, I see a remarkable difference among parishes. To worship and visit in parishes that get it, about mission, that are coming to understand the centrality of mission to others is very different with visiting parishes that are concerned primarily, or only, with their own internal existence and survival. More and more, I trust, we are learning that our parishes are not here for us. They are here for the glory of God, and the sake of our neighbor. Stewardship. Here s a tougher nut to crack. There is so much of the Gospel that we hear and believe. But one side of it we don t believe, or don t take in, is the deep truth that we, you and I, are tenants in God s creation, and the riches we have, and we do have riches, are gifts of God s love, which God has claim on. The most popular of the three so-called Jack and Drew shows, the one we are asked to do in parishes most often, is titled Billable Stewardship: Or, How I Learned to Love the Tithe. It is pure joy to watch parishioners begin to get it as we talk of Jesus like a teaching and the blessing of choosing to make Jesus like a teaching a pattern of our own. And the exclamation point comes, when, at the end of the evening, Jack goes to a newsprint board and shows what the difference in parish mission would be, if all of the households were tithing. It is a show stopper. Invite us over. But to move, step-by-step, towards tithing the assumption of giving in the Old Testament and the practice of giving in Jesus day and to move beyond tithing a pattern of the 39

40 New Testament would be to unleash among us faith and works so powerful that we can hardly imagine them. Youth, not to church of tomorrow, but a vital part of the church today, to include youth regularly in parish worship and in parish leadership, is to say to our youth, Yes, we are all baptized into the one spirit together, and you are first class citizens of God s realm. Yes, we all go to church school, no matter how old we are. Yes, we all have a place here, and yours is not the basement. Commitment to mission and ministry with youth, not only in primary, middle, and high school grades, but beyond into college and young adulthood. Together we ve made commitments in our mission and our budget over the past decade to these ministries and chaplaincies. Again, to say that it is such a joy as bishop to worship in parishes that get it, where youth, from infants to young workers and college students and young adults, are not just welcomed, but are treasured members of the congregation. Where they, the youth, know, they have a special place, which visitors to the parish can tell in a moment. It is interesting too, how there have been new challenges for each of these three arenas in the past ten years. To revisit them, mission, we know it is local. And now we know far better, I think, that it is local. We have deepened our companion relationship with the Diocese of Columbia, the renewal of which we will decide in this convention, through work, mission trips, and mutual episcopal visits, and prayers offered in our parishes, along with offerings and friendships, and with more of us dusting off, or learning Spanish for the first time. There is our historic link, through Bishop Seabury, with the Diocese of Aberdeen in Scotland. We now have diocesan and parish ties with so many overseas parishes, dioceses, and provinces in Mozambique, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, Ecuador, and Tanzania, just to name a few. And in response to that growing reality of interconnectedness, several years ago, our Diocesan Companion Committee, renamed itself the Companions, plural, in Mission Committee, and devotes itself to promoting parochial and diocesan mission connections throughout the world. And I ask you, and consider your parish, has your parish linked overseas yet? Stewardship has also evolved and become new for us in ways over these past years. The decade past has seen an enormous awakening to the reality of the gift of this earth and the universe we live in, because of the measurable effects of the warming of the earth and the shifting climate throughout the world. There has long been a small band of folks calling us to be stewards of creation, but now we are beginning to understand that. Stewardship is so much more than how we use personal wealth. It s how we care for all of creation. From such small steps as discontinuing the use of disposable water bottles and paper cups to, as some parishes are doing, participating in tomorrow s international day of climate action, which seeks globally to bring the earth s carbon dioxide level back down to 350 parts per million, our call to be stewards, as our call to be missioners, carries greater responsibilities and opportunities than we thought even a decade ago. And youth, here too, there is a new frontier, electronic communication is the norm among young folk. And the doesn t mean newsletters, or even webpages and , those are media for older generations. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, these are just a few new creations I ve been learning about, through which youth and young adults not only communicate, but meet and form virtual community. Old patterns of Gospel communication we ve use for years just won t work. It may not be a young adult s expectation that he or she should travel and spend two hours in church on Sundays. So, here s the challenge, how do we bring the Gospel message and the invitation into virtual communities online? How can we bring Christ into the electronic conversation? This is a new frontier, and thank God there are members of our diocese engaged in these media and who are concerned with carrying the message. So, stay tuned. No, that s old speak, maybe we should be saying, friend me. I don t have a Facebook page, yet. 40

41 The Anglican Communion. Across the world, we are in the midst of the richest debate ever about our fellowship in the Anglican Communion: what it is, what it isn t, who s in, should we regulate our life, and what s our future? Our Anglican Communion, and the Episcopal Church as a constituent member, is a living, breathing fellowship of area provinces from around the globe who share a Christian tradition of mission. And that fellowship has become newly alive with engagement, especially as some of the provinces, ours included, have recognized, welcomed, and ordained persons who are gay and lesbian, including persons living in committed partnerships, civil unions, or, as is the case in the State of Connecticut, same-sex marriages. In the course of private statements, personal conversations, and debates, and lately the formation of a right-wing movement in the United States which would have us displaced from the Anglican Communion in favor of themselves. The life and mission of the Communion has been challenged, and I believe, has been enriched and enlightened. While some concentrate on institutional questions are we in communion with you or not? Can we create a way to discipline each other? Can we remove a province? Will we have two tiers of membership? others have reached out to empower the mission of Christ in so many ways. Earlier I listed some the overseas mission connections which our diocese and our parishes are engaged. A number of those are in parishes, schools, or dioceses where, formally, we have been strangers. And here are just a couple of examples. Last August, I was privileged to represent this diocese and the Episcopal Church in the enthronement of the Archbishop in the Anglican Province of the Congo. Just recently, the Berkeley Divinity School has been invited to join with Duke and Virginia Theological Seminaries to send resources and teachers to theological seminaries in the Sudan. Several of our clergy have served, or are preparing to serve, as missionaries overseas, and more parishes are embarking on mission trips. There is a growing reality across the Communion of a companionship in Christ s mission, which transcends the particular debate of the particular day. The Anglican Communion is a treasure, a complex treasure, and I so strongly believe that it is a gift to the world for peace, for development, and for the gospel. I think that within our diocese, it is time for us to shed time-worn assumptions about the world we live in and practices within the church. The days when everyone went to church those days were never really here but what we think of as those days are long gone. We have greeters at our doors but few people to greet. Church schools, parish schools in the same ways that they did fifty years ago, but with a fraction of the participants. Membership, by and large, is not growing. Our youth, contrary to our myth, don t come back when they grow up, get married, and have children. Justices of the Peace perform far more weddings than clergy. We ve become grayer and grayer. Our place in society is no longer assured, nor is it seen as essential or important. In fact, when the church is in the public eye, often it is because of bad news. But it s time to recognize that we have to rise up from former attitudes and perspectives and ways of our lives if we are truly to be a blessing for God and our neighbor in this day. There are many parishes clinging to old ways, unable or unwilling to re-form. Can we get creative, innovative, even scrappy, to step out of the old into a new day? Can we shed the trappings of our cherished possessions and customs and become more like the disciples, like the primitive church, sent by Jesus out into the public on the go. And can we, as the diocese, create, recognize, and embrace new forming congregations and there are new forming congregations that may not fit in old molds, and nurture them without requiring that they fulfill our expectations of 1950 s church life? Will we support mission over the long term, planting seeds say in college communities or in ethnic or cultural communities which differ markedly from Anglo and support those missions, even when they do not pay off, as we might have expected in a model from the last century. The reality is that the world is changing while we tend to life in the past that just isn t anymore. Can we have the courage to name Jesus and do his mission as our identifying mark, rather than just claiming that we are warm and friendly? How can 41

42 we together really get to the roots as disciples on the road with Jesus, not for the sake of our survival, but for the sake of the Gospel? I see all this, as a challenge before us, especially for the next chapter for us and our next bishop. Pastoral blessings. The General Convention last summer passed resolution #C056, which provided for pastoral generosity in those dioceses whose civil jurisdictions have made same-sex marriage legal. The bishops in the six states where same-sex marriage is now a matter of law, we have been in regular conversations since then about the implications and the limitations of pastoral generosity. The Bishop s agree, the resolution does not give canonical permission for clergy of this church to officiate in same-sex weddings. What then, does it mean for Connecticut? To answer that, I have asked the Standing Committee, as the bishop s council for advice, to consider what this resolution might mean for us, and the Standing Committee has met once with the three bishops to discuss the question. After that, the bishops have drafted proposals for policies for our diocese, which we plan to share with the Standing Committee for further discussion. Because we will have a new diocesan bishop soon, it seems best for me not promulgate new policies during this episcopacy, but rather to share that what I outlined at the last convention to continue, that pastoral blessing may be offered by clergy whose parishes have considered the question of pastoral blessing of same sex marriages and whose vestries have signified to the bishop their support of these blessings. Diocesan Staff. Publicly today, I want to thank our whole diocesan staff, many of whom have served us in this diocese for many years. Many are here with us this weekend, many in yellow shirts. In their work and ministry, our staff are committed to the mission that God has given us to do, and often in complex and difficult situations. They seek to serve our parishes, our members, and of course, our mission. Each person brings gifts, perspectives, and energy, which all fit together for our common life and mission, and I want you to know of my tremendous joy to serve as bishop with these, my sisters and brothers. I thank you, our staff, for your love of God, and your support of our life and work as a diocese. But there is one person I will single out today, whose has served as the executive secretary for me for most of the time that I have served as bishop, Julie Burnap. She has been a constant, gentle companion and mentor in ministry over ten years. In addition to her staff assignments, which she executes with utter competence and grace, for a decade she has managed my schedule, listened to musings, from time to time offered valuable insights and perspectives, suggested timely attention to tasks undone. Julie has also been a valued companion and support to many staff members of our diocese, and though she prefers to remain quiet and in the background, this is a time for me to say to Julie, here in public, thank you, thank you, thank you a million times for all you have done. A word, or three, about our diocesan budget for We are a cash diocese, unlike many other dioceses, our endowment contributes only about 6% of our mission and ministry. As we drew a budget for the new year, we already knew that our income goal for 2009 would not be met by parish giving, and several conversations indicated that the same would be true So, there are several consequences. While on one hand we celebrate mission, the budget we will consider today severely cuts several central areas of mission and reduces several mission positions. The next bishop will not have the modest funds for mission initiatives that have provided to this bishop. We will not fill several open staff positions. Rather than cutting staff members, we have chosen rather, to dip into reserves and also to reduce the salary of every diocesan employee for This is the first time in this episcopate where we have had to present a budget that cuts mission. The very areas where we have increased our work, we will have chopped in Thankfully, there is a group from the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council, who have offered to work to find ways to increase our budget. And even if these difficult economic times I do ask every delegate and cleric to support 42

43 efforts in our parishes back home to maintain and restore each parish s 12.5% apportionment for our bishops and our diocese. Well, this is a time of transition for all of us. I intend to retire from serving as your bishop at the end of January, Many have asked, what will you do, what plans do you have, I hope you will take some time for yourself? Well, I have lots of ideas and proposals, some in the church, some outside it. Recently, at a meeting of the Bishop and Diocesan Executive Council, we read in our Bible study one of my favorite sections of scripture, the second chapter of the Epistle to the Philippians. The chapter contains the passage in which St. Paul talks about emptying and how Jesus not only emptied himself of the quality of God to be born human, but also emptied himself even further, taking the form of a servant or a slave. He writes how we, likewise, should empty ourselves of our own place and ambitions so that God can fill us and work through us. So, as we considered this passage in little group, one member leaned forward and said, So Drew, how will you empty yourself for Christ in this next chapter in your life? There it was, the word of the Lord. I hadn t been thinking of retirement in quite that vein, but thanks be to God for the word. So, I m preparing to make room for God in new ways in my next life chapter. I m eager to see what God will bring. And that is my prayer and hope for the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. That the diocese empty ourselves of all the things that tie us up and keep us where we are, and hold us back from God and God s mission entrusted into our hands. And having emptied ourselves, of our own ambitions, that we prepare ourselves, make ourselves more ready and more eager for what God brings for the next life chapter of this great diocese. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, didn t count equality with God as something to be exploited, or grasped, or held on to, but he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, death on the cross. Therefore, my beloved, let this same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling, for it is God who is at work in you, and in you, enabling you both to will and work for God s pleasure. It has been a privilege beyond all measure to serve as your bishop. Thank you each and all and everyone for who you are, how you pray, and where you serve. With both hands, praise the Lord. Thanks be to God. 43
