Episcopal Church Historical Tours

On Friday, November 7th from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m., there are two tours being offered on the Boise State Campus that highlight the history of the Episcopal Church in Idaho, and both are located about 3 miles from the hotel. This information is also located on the Diocesan Convention webpage.

The Boise State tours offered on Friday are:

The Diocesan Archives in the Albertson’s Library at Boise State University were donated in 1989 as a result of the longstanding relationship between the Episcopal Church in Idaho and the university. Boise State University was founded in 1392 as Boise Junior College by the Right Rev. Middleton S. Barnwell, the Bishop of Idaho at that time.

The archival records located in the archives include records of bishops, committees, conventions, and special projects (most of which date from the twentieth century), the original registers of defunct parishes and microfilm of the registers of many of the active parishes. The oldest records in the collection are the parish registers from Saint James Parish, Silver City, dating back to the 1860s. More information here: http://library.boisestate.edu/special/

Christ Chapel located on the campus of Boise State University. Christ Chapel, on Broadway and University Drive just off of the east lot of Albertson’s (formerly Bronco) Stadium is the oldest Protestant church in all of Idaho, Montana, and Utah. Built in 1866, it was originally located at Seventh and Bannock Streets and it served as the primary place of Episcopal worship in Boise until St. Michael’s Cathedral was built.

More information here: http://www.boisearchitecture.org/structuredetail.php?id=1429

If you plan to participate in either of these tours, you will need to pick up a parking pass (look for the logo for more information on these pages). Parking passes will be available in the registration area at the Boise Hotel. There are only 30 passes, so they will be first come, first served. Please consider carpooling to these tour sites with your delegation. You can take one or both tours, and in whatever order you choose.

2014 Convention and Banquet Keynote Speaker: Bishop Michael Hanley

Bishop Michael was born in 1954 and grew up in Oklahoma and in New York City. He earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1976 and a Masters of Divinity from Seabury - Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, in 1981. He also holds a Doctorate of Ministry in Congregational Development from Seabury -Western (2005).

Before his election as Bishop of Oregon in 2009, Michael served parishes in Oklahoma, Missouri, and for nineteen years, Minnesota. He is known as a supportive mentor to people of all ages and stages of life, with a deep spiritual center. In a recent sabbatical he completed the 500 mile walking pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, with his daughter.

In his spare time he has been a storyteller performing for schools, churches, and other civic groups. He is married to Marla Martin Hanley, who, prior to their move to Oregon, was an associate academic dean at St. Catherine University in the Twin Cities. Michael and Marla are the proud parents of two adult daughters.

Following his ordination and consecration as bishop, he took on the task of visiting all 74 parishes of the diocese in his first 100 days, bringing to all a message of transition and renewal.

2014 Anglican Fellowship of Prayer Speaker Mary Leberknight of St. Luke’s, Idaho Falls AFP Coordinator in the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho

Mary Leberknight has been the coordinator of AFP in Idaho since 1989, and she has a wealth of experience to share. Mary was born Feb. 7th, 1940 and was baptized at an Episcopal Church in Redmond, Oregon. She grew up in a log cabin on a ranch in Campbell County, in northeastern Wyoming. Mary’s dad used to invite the Episcopal priest to

their house and others would join them for a service every couple of months when she was growing up. Her mom would fix dinner for everyone present.

Mary’s dad built the log cabin school that she attended with three or four other children until she went to high school in Gillette. Mary left the area when she attended Black Hills State College in South Dakota. The trip between the ranch and the college was all bad roads! Mary met her husband, Jim, when they were in college. They were married in Gillette, Wyoming on a day that was 12 degrees below zero and very snowy. They have five daughters and six grandchildren.

Jim later attended South Dakota State in Vermillion and then became a teacher in Hailey, Idaho where they attended Emmanuel Church. Of their time at Emmanuel, Mary said, “We were pretty popular there because we had little ones, and they helped to create a church family.” Jim earned a position at the Idaho National Laboratory and worked there until he retired.

Mary started attending St. John’s Episcopal Church when they moved to Idaho Falls in the late 1960’s. Mary joined a Bible Study at St. John’s, and it was such a blessing to her. St. John’s (which later became St. Luke’s) has been Mary’s parish ever since.

Mary has always made time to talk to God. She remembers being nine or ten and taking time to be with God before doing her ranch work. For Mary, prayer has always been a part of life.

Mary became involved with the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer when attending a national meeting with Juanita Hogg and Helen Young. Juanita was the AFP coordinator in the Diocese of Idaho at that time. Mary took over that role in 1989 and has been doing this work ever since. Mary is honored to have the opportunity to speak this year. Mary plans to continue to be involved with the AFP, but she will be stepping down as the AFP coordinator after 25 years.

We are fortunate to have Mary share her story at the AFP breakfast. Please register for the breakfast so that you can hear about Mary’s life experience of prayer.

EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF IDAHO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Originator: Dan Gasiorowski, Emmanuel Church, Placerville

Whereas, In 2005 The Executive Council of the Episcopal Church recommends that dioceses and congregations to have disaster plans, (http://archive.episcopalchurch.org/3577_68487_ENG_HTM.htm)

Whereas, A church which finds itself unprepared during and after a disaster will inevitably miss valuable opportunities to minister to human need both within their congregation and in the community surrounding it; and (http://www.charleslafond.net/content/Congregational%20Disaster%20Response%20and%20Preparedness%20 Toolkit.pdf)

Whereas, It is not possible to predict when and where a disaster will occur; and

Whereas, It is the goal of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho Diocesan Disaster Committee to assist and see that all parishes have a disaster plan in place; and

Resolved, That the 47th Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho hereby directs all congregations, diocesan institutions and offices within the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho to have current disaster preparedness plans; now, therefore be it

Resolved, That Diocesan Council, in cooperation with the Diocesan Disaster Committee, shall establish procedures for monitoring progress in implementing this policy; and

Diocesan Task Force Originator: Rev. Karen Hunter, Grace, La Gracia Episcopal Church, Nampa and Farmway

Subject: A Diocesan Task Force to Study, Imagine, and Ask Questions

Whereas, the Diocese of Idaho has a number of people and groups charged with duties dedicated to the smooth running of the Church in the Diocese as it is and has been for some good time, and

Whereas, it is apparent to most that the church is in need of radical change if it is to be the Church of vibrant and relevant mission and ministry Christ envisioned, and

Whereas, the General Convention itself created a Task force to Re-imagine the Episcopal Church (TREC), and

Whereas, the Creator has empowered us to “dream dreams and see visions”

Therefore be it resolved, that a task force of all interested people in the Diocese of Idaho be organized to study, ask questions and imagine better ways of being church in the Diocese of Idaho.

And be it further resolved, that this task force would meet regularly, establish norms and guidelines, and report to the bishop and the Diocesan Council,

And be it further resolved, that the task force shall also form an Imagination and Clearness Committee. This committee will work at the invitation of a parish or ministry. Its task will be to study the structure and work of the parish or ministry in order to ask questions of those seeking direction and clarity. In this capacity the committee will not make direct recommendations, but will confine itself to clarifying questions, following the model and tradition of Quaker clearness committees.

Explanation: The world around us is changing. How we proclaim the gospel and live out our call to be the body of Christ in this essentially new place is a challenge demanding our best response. It only makes sense to met this new challenge by enlisting the creative gifts of all those called by the Spirit to study and dream and discuss and imagine together the place and possibilities of the church in a new and emerging world. Our old way of visioning was hierarchical, giving the responsibility to "those in charge", but we have understood for some time that all are called to ministry, and this certainly must extend to the ministry of vision and discernment.

The idea of this task force is to include in its membership all who want to commit to regular attendance and study. The members will determine together the training and instruction necessary to carry out their work. The task force will report to the bishop and the council. They will direct their attention as the Spirit leads or as requested by the bishop, council, or congregation. The first part of their task is to think and imagine. The second part is to become proficient in listening and asking questions as a way of encouraging others to think and imagine more deeply. “Consciousness precedes being.” (Vaclav Havel). The work of questioning and imagining is Holy Work. This task force makes a specific place in the diocese for those called to this work to engage together in an organized and accessible way. It puts that work at the service of the people.

The task force will have no institutional authority, will accept all members that agree to its self selected norms and will agree to function for the next three years after which its continuing existence can be reassessed. It can begin without funding and request a budget if necessary in coming years. The task force is not to make recommendations. It is to present ideas and ask questions, to dream dreams and have visions. It is something new.

Canon’s Report to Convention, 2014

2014 became a time of what I call, “Kickin’ it up a notch!” During this year, I focused on shifting the level of work that I have done with parishes in four very clear areas:

1) Training people to train others. At our May meeting, our Deacons reviewed the Eucharistic

Minister and Eucharistic Visitor trainings, with an eye toward leading those trainings in their home parishes, or their regions, or deaneries. Additionally, two persons have agreed to become trainers of Worship Leaders. This will enable us to train people faster, as there would ideally be four more people to take on this responsibility. The Deans of the Western and Eastern Deaneries have devoted two days in this past year to sharing of information about their deaneries, learning about methods of observing parishes, and raising questions and concerns about ministries in their regions. The discussion is fruitful and helpful in promoting the overall health of ministry in our diocese. These “deans meetings” are becoming a regular part of our diocesan calendar.

2) The Preaching Practicum in February 2014, proved to be even more rewarding and exciting than could be anticipated. 20 people attended, both lay preachers and recently ordained, which maximized our small groups and the use of the facility. Preaching faculty (Tammy Jones, Rich Demarest, Ken Brannon, Don Paulson, Rand Fagg, and Lucinda Ashby) designed a full retreat complete with small groups, large groups, forums, and plenary sessions. The design was open, sensitive, and promoted authentic learning and sharing about preaching. Those who successfully participated in the weekend we given a one-year license to preach, and plenty of people with whom to form a community of preachers. The number of preachers interested for this year has doubled, leading us to plan two weekend retreats for 2015.

3) Transition Ministry has taken off, with several parishes engaged in different ways of doing transition. Holy Nativity, Meridian, and Emmanuel, Hailey are currently doing a self-study, which explores identity and context and creates a profile for potential candidates to review. This is extremely important for determining what kind and how much clergy leadership is needed in the parish. St. Francis, Alta, is in the process of working on a self-study appropriate for the ordaining of community clergy to serve both the parish and the deanery. St. Luke’s, Weiser, revisited their process, and completed a self-study, which led them to explore more about their lay ministry with a community priest—leading to a Mutual Ministry Review process.

4) The process of Mutual Ministry Review is being revisited and/or done for the first time in several parishes. Of interest is that with the help of St. Luke’s, Weiser, we are developing a unique process to do MMRs in parishes with community clergy; most commonly, MMRs were only done in parishes with stipendiary clergy, but the process is useful for both contexts.

The Congregational Vitality budget allowed for us to pay for formation and materials for a variety of contexts: The College for Congregational Development: We sent two people to CCD in August. After having done extensive work as a parish, Blake Coats and Denny Field attended a week-long course, and returned with a project to work on with St. Luke’s. They will also evaluate how CCD may prove beneficial to other parishes in our diocese.

The Episcopal Network for Stewardship: We paid for one person to attend the TENS Conference in Atlanta this summer. In addition, we paid for ten congregations to attend many of the sessions via Webinars. We paid the annual full diocesan membership price of $1,000 so that each parish could access the wealth of materials available for parish stewardship. Living the Questions: Several more copies of the Adult Education series “Living the Questions” were purchased for use all over the diocese—in congregations large and small, and in the Pocatello Women’s Prison. Confirm not Conform: Another congregation opted to use this vast resource of confirmation materials as a way to provide a solid base for Youth programs. Books, Materials, Hymnals: This year we provided “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, and “Hymnal 1982” to several parishes to complement their music during worship. We also gave copies of People of the Way, and Born of Water, Born of Spirit as a common study for four congregations in transition. Additionally, we supported efforts of congregations to enhance their worship experiences by providing supplies and materials where needed. We continue to provide copies of Forward Day by Day to our prison ministry, among other materials.

Commission on Ministry Convention Report 2014

The Commission on Ministry has met four times since the 2013 Diocesan Convention. The December 2013 Leadership Retreat for Commission, Standing Committee, and Diocesan Council with Bishop Thom was to have been held at Ascension Monastery in Jerome, but was cancelled due to the weather.

The Commission was busy with interviews during most of the year. The Diocese of Idaho has a great number of aspirants, postulants, candidates and ordinands in “the process” at this time. In addition, at each meeting, the Commission is updated on the ministry, and academic and spiritual formation for each of the individuals at the various points in their ordination process. The Commission follows this check-in at every meeting.

At the January meeting in Boise, the Commission and Standing Committee joined together and interviewed Joseph Farnes, St. Luke’s, Idaho Falls, and Michael Case, All Saints, Boise, for admission to Candidacy for the Priesthood.

At the March meeting in Twin Falls, the Commission interviewed Chip Mills, St. Thomas, Sun Valley, and Deb Adams, St. Francis, Alta, WY, for ordination to the Transitional Diaconate; and Megan Dembi, Holy Nativity, Meridian, for Ordination to the Priesthood. Pat Thomas, St. Michael’s, Boise, and Bev Lugo, Grace, Nampa, were interviewed for admission to Postulancy for the Priesthood. In Idaho Falls in June, the Commission and Standing Committee met together to interview Larry Speir for admission to Candidacy to the Priesthood. After lunch, the Commission met separately to interview Wayne Schmidt for admission to Postulancy to the Priesthood.

At the September meeting in Twin Falls, the Commission met interviewed Joseph Farnes and Larry Speir, both from St. Luke’s, Idaho Falls; and Michael Case, All Saints, Boise, for ordination to the Transitional Diaconate. Deb Adams, St. Francis, Alta, WY was interviewed for ordination to the Priesthood. Haydie LeCorbeiller was interviewed for admission to Postulancy to the Priesthood.

In addition to the regular meetings of the Commission, the chair has traveled as needed to congregations over the past year to train congregational discernment committees. These committees are charged with listening carefully to the movements of the Spirit in their meetings so that they can listen with aspirants to discern who God may be calling them to become.

Please keep our Postulants and Candidates in your prayers. The following changes in canonical status were made since the 2013 Diocesan Convention.

Admitted to Postulancy Pat Thomas, St. Michael’s, Boise (Priesthood): Utah Ministry Formation Program Bev Lugo, Grace, Nampa (Priesthood): Utah Ministry Formation Program Wayne Schmidt, St. Thomas, Ketchum (Priesthood): Church Divinity School of the Pacific Haydie LeCorbeiller, Trinity, Pocatello (Priesthood): TBA

Communications Report to Convention- 2014 This summer, a healthy sampling of Idaho Episcopalians (nearly 100) participated in the Diocesan Communications Survey. This survey was intended to assess our current means of communication and to anticipate future communication needs. If you are interested in the results of this survey, please contact me and I will be happy to share them with you. A second survey, in which 25 people participated, was more targeted to parish-level communicators. The results of this survey will help to target communication to parishes in the most useful way possible. We had not conducted a survey since 2011. The results from these surveys will help shape how communication tools are being used, what is working, what is not, and how we move forward in the most efficient way possible for everyone. Current Communication Tools: The Idaho Episcopal News e-newsletter continues to be published twice a month. It is used to share news and information on upcoming events. Our “open rate” for this publication is very good at around 40%. The Idaho Episcopal News also offers easy access to our Constant Contact event registration which is used for all diocesan events except Paradise Point. In 2014, two issues of the Idaho Episcopalian have been published and one more will be mailed in December. Our current distribution is 3000 households. We continue to work with parishes to receive updated parish contact lists. We use this information to update our mailing list. Gina Ahrens, the Diocesan Volunteer, works on this regularly. Please encourage your parish to submit updates on at least an annual basis so that we are able to send all Idaho Episcopalians this publication. Email addresses are also helpful, as we can then include everyone on the Idaho Episcopal News e-newsletter mailing list. The Diocesan Center website has been updated to a more mobile-device friendly format. We are working on making the website more informational and accessible. Our website gets a lot of visits each month (for example, 3788 in March) and most of those visitors look at more than one page (an average of 3.34 pages per visit). Currently, 25 of our 30 parishes use Digital Faith websites. The rest are using other website providers. All Digital Faith parish websites are being updated to a more mobile-device friendly format this year, as well. The Idaho Episcopal Foundation now has a Digital Faith website, as do Integrity and Paradise Point. Digital Faith is designed to connect parishes and the diocese to enhance news and event sharing, as well as to help optimize our results in search engines. The diocese pays $6000 a year for all of the websites, which comes out to about $20 per website per month. The diocesan Facebook page has 308 followers. Bishop Brian (592 friends) and Canon Lucinda (287 friends) also use Facebook regularly. Facebook has been a useful tool for sharing news, events, and photos with and from parishes, and with and from Episcopalians and affiliates in Idaho and beyond. Nearly half our parishes have Facebook pages: New to Facebook this year are: St. Thomas, Sun Valley; St. Matthew’s, Rupert; Emmanuel, Placerville; and St. James’, Payette. The Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church in Idaho have partnered with FaithStreet. This is a free listing service for churches, and it is an online search engine for people looking for a church. From 2011 to 2013, there was a 90% increase in the number of people who found their church online. To see if your church has updated their Faithstreet profile, search Faithstreet Episcopal Idaho and click on your parish profile. The Episcopal Church website has a listing of every Episcopal diocese and parish in the world. The listings are often out of date, as they need to be claimed and updated by a local person. This is yet another way for people seeking a church to find Idaho Episcopalians online. Moving Forward: If you have any questions or are interested in parish, diocesan, or Episcopal Church communication and you would like more information or to get more involved, please contact me. Thank you! Respectfully submitted, Jes Benson, Diocesan Communications

Council Report to Convention 2014

The Diocesan Council meets four times a year with Bishop Brian Thom serving as President of the Council. Meetings in 2014 were held at All Saints, Boise; St. Matthew’s, Rupert. Paradise Point; and Ascension, Twin Falls. In addition, one financial Webex meeting was held in June.

Members of Council include: Sue Bolen (St. Michael’s, Boise); The Rev. Bill Brown (St. Andrew’s, McCall); Doug Clore (Redeemer, Salmon); The Rev. Scott Ellsworth (St. Stephen’s, Boise); Dean Hagerman (All Saints, Boise); Stuart Hotchkiss (St. Michael’s, Boise), Vice President and Finance Committee liaison ; Charlie Manning (St. James, Payette); Jane Reynolds (St. Thomas, Ketchum); The Rev. Deb Seles (Ascension, Twin Falls); David Swain (Ascension, Twin Falls). Deans Mary Flaschner (St. David’s, Caldwell) and Anne LoPiccalo (Trinity, Pocatello) attend meetings with seat and voice, but no vote. Other regular attendees are Canon Lucinda Ashby, Secretary to Council; and Tom Jones, Treasurer.

Council is the governing board for the Diocese with fiduciary responsibility that includes the approval and presentation of the annual budget to Convention and year-round oversight of Diocesan finances and program. It also has an important role in the formation of Diocesan policy. Here are highlights from 2014:

Denominational Health Plan – In June, Council approved the plan as presented by the subcommittee of Clore, Hagerman, Seles and Accounting Coordinator Anjanette Potter. As a result, Council will establish a Human Resources Committee to regularly examine policy decisions regarding health insurance.

Children and Youth Ministry Coordinator – Council has responded to the resolution approved at last year’s Diocesan Convention (see attached for details).

Parishes in Arrears – Council remains deeply concerned about late and/or missing assessment payments at parishes like St. Andrews, McCall and Grace, Nampa. In addition to addressing issues of non-payment of assessment, Council intends to form a committee to assist parishes in areas where they are at risk: financial, facility, pastoral, and program.

Idaho Episcopal Foundation – The IEF came to Council in April seeking financial assistance to create a new Program Development Planner position. Council discussed the issue in June and denied the request. Subsequent to two additional meetings with IEF afterwards, Council reaffirmed its position at the Sept. meeting.

National Church Assessment – Whether or not this diocese has been paying the full ask of 19 percent remains an issue under debate. Council has approved an amount of $86,486 for General Church Asking in 2015. Finance Committee is working to sort out this situation and bring us up to full asking.

Per Diem Policy for Those Serving in Leadership Roles – Council decided in June not to adopt a per diem policy for itself, citing the need for too much administrative oversight, and leaving the matter of financial assistance at the Bishop’s discretion.

F inanc ial “Hygiene” – Although Council approved last year to conduct a financial audit in 2014, it was deemed necessary to first put our financial house in better order. Matters of fund balances, property values, parish assessment calculations and expense monitoring have been cleaned up and we are now able to proceed with the audit.

Grace/La Gracia – In September, Council denied Grace’s request for additional funding of portions of this ministry partnership with La Gracia. Non-compliance with administrative aspects of the original Missional Zone grant contributed to the September decision.

Respectfully submitted, Stuart Hotchkiss (Vice President)

Idaho Episcopal Foundation Report to Convention – 2014 The Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the Foundation members. The Board meets twice a year; after the Annual Meeting each spring, and in October. An Executive Committee comprised of the president, vice-president, past president, treasurer and Committee chairmen meet monthly to handle ongoing business subject to approval by the Board. Representatives from parishes in the diocese serve as members of the Foundation, and many also serve on Committees, which accomplish Foundation work. This past year the following events and changes transpired.

On April 26, 2014 the Foundation presented the fifth annual Bishop’s Banquet. The event was held at the Riverside Hotel in Boise, and highlighting the event was the presentation of the Mission in Excellence award to Carolyn “Buddy” Hall from St. Luke’s, Idaho Falls. The Cornerstone Awards were presented to The Rt. Rev. John S. Thornton and Clair “Denny” Densley for their significant contributions to the Foundation. A proposal to create a position of Planned Giving Development Director and in partnership with the Diocese was put forth before the Board at their October 2013 meeting. A task force of Board members and the Ex. Director was created, and from that body, a draft outline of the position was prepared and a proposal was presented to the Diocesan Council at their April meeting. At the September meeting of Diocesan Council, the decision was made to decline to participate.

Annual Meeting held in Boise

The Foundation’s 2014 Annual Meeting was held in Boise. Board and Foundation members participated in the meeting that included a presentation from Adrienne Smith, Director of Development for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise. At the meeting, committee chairpersons spoke about the activities and agendas of their respective committees. The Foundation elected Skip Owen, from Grace Church in Glenns Ferry to the Board of Directors.

Board of Director’s Spring Meeting

The Board elected Bruce Turner as President and Julie Slee as Vice President for the term commencing April 26, 2014. In addition to Bruce and Julie, the board includes The Rt. Rev.

The Committee assisted James Meier in creating two permanent endowment funds in memory of his brother Robert Meier, and for the benefit of St. Francis of the Tetons. One endowment will support the Columbarium and Memorial Garden and the other will support the ongoing operations of St. Francis. James Meier contributed $50,000.00 to seed both funds. The Committee is working on an expansion of the IEF Endowment Fund Enabling Resolutions which will include a gift acceptance policy.

Recognition Committee

This committee, under the leadership of Julie Slee, prepared and presented the annual Bishop’s Banquet, Excellence In Mission Award and Cornerstone Award. The committee continues to honor new donors with Idaho Episcopal Foundation paperweights. Each paperweight is personalized with the donor’s name, and awarded to donors in recognition of their support of the mission of the Foundation. Additionally, each donor is listed on a Idaho Episcopal Foundation plaque. The plaques list each parishioner who has given to the Fund, and are displayed in their respective parishes.

Paradise Point Camp and Youth Ministry 2014 Report to Diocesan Convention

I have found it difficult to convince myself that I have just completed my sixth summer at Paradise Point. The tremendous amount of support coming towards camp and youth ministry has me often excited and overwhelmed of the possibilities of what could come next. There have been many changes over the years, some easy to handle and some more difficult, but all of them have been good. As I reflect, I am always thankful for a safe and successful summer, where lives have been changed, memories have been made, and spiritual formation is inevitable.

This summer, Paradise Point served 278 registered youth campers with a total of 1,588 camper nights (up from 226 campers, 1,446 nights in 2013; and 221 campers 1,361 nights in 2012). Diocesan scholarships supported 25 campers with a total of $3619 of assistance.

The introduction of Ultimate Adventure Camp as a new youth session was a great highlight. Campers had the option of a horseback riding, rock climbing, or mountain biking focus. Qualified and trained guides were recruited to lead these groups and an intentional program and schedule was created. Campers spent three days of the week learning the basics of their equipment and developing their knowledge and experience of the specific focus they were involved in, all while enjoying the activities Paradise Point offers.

Beginner’s Camp took part in a “Despicable Me” theme day and the youngest of our campers loved trying to track down where Gru hid the Moon. The 5th Annual Olympics session was as exciting as it has ever been and had more spirit than ever. The second summer of Water Week proved to be just as popular as last year’s and was a total hit. Teen Camp moved to the end of July and saw a renewed interest with the addition of a rafting trip and age specific programming implemented.

The Leadership Development Program grew to serve 41 teens (up from 19 last year). The Leader in Training (LIT) sessions for 14 and 15 year olds, the Counselor in Training (CIT) program for 16 and 17 year olds, and the Junior Counselor program, are all aimed at creating camp, church, school, and community leaders. For the second year most of the LIT spots filled within the first day of registration.

Chip Mills, newly ordained deacon from St. Thomas, was selected as the Spiritual Director for the youth camps and was a wonderful addition. He brought theology outdoors and inspired the campers and staff with his youthful spirit and engagement. Whether it was at bible study, on the Wibit, hanging from the high ropes, or on the tube behind the boat, Chip was a true Paradise Point Camper and I am grateful for his ministry and love for fun.

Paradise Point’s Family Camps were filled with fellowship and community and all of them saw an increase in new family attendance. The 4th of July Family Camp was a well attended and is on the schedule again for 2015. Fat Goose, Heart of the Diocese, and Labor Day Camps continue to join families together in a wonderful setting. While the Adult Camp added in the spring was canceled due to low numbers, I am very excited to have it on next summer’s schedule and continue to promote what will be a wonderful weekend for coed adults of all ages to experience Paradise Point.

The Staff have been amazing to work with this summer. With many of them returning as staff, or previous campers, the spirit and tradition continued to thrive and grow. The international staff this year added a wonderful cultural aspect represented Ireland, Mexico, Poland, and England very well. They brought new and exciting ideas, songs, and games and will always be a part of the Paradise Point Family.

With the support of Bishop Brian, Diocesan Leadership, and the Paradise Point Committee, Camp continues to see vital improvements. This summer the Wylla Barsness Memorial Bench received an accessible ramp, the Dining Hall renovation project was wrapped up and included new doors leading to the deck, the beach volleyball court was completed, axe throwing was implemented, a Giant Swing was installed at the ropes course, and new furniture was added to the King Lodge rooms.

As a continuation of the Strategic Ministry Plan and the “Next Right Steps”, the Paradise Point Committee embarked on the revision and development of Camp’s Master Plan to comply with the requirements of applying for a Conditional Use Permit from the City of McCall and Valley County. This lifelong permit secures the intentional future development of Paradise Point and was required to obtain a general building permit for any purpose. This was a successful process and received unanimous approval from the Planning and Zoning Commissioners of the City of McCall and Valley County.

Paradise Point would not be able to operate without the generous support of the donors and champions. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all that give to the Ministry of Camp through Paradise Point Sunday, individual donations, congregational support, and volunteering. This commitment sustains the vision the Diocesan Leadership of 1935 provided us with.

The Youth of the Diocese continue to meet throughout the year as much as possible. Last year’s Diocesan Convention saw the first Official Youth Presence and the youth are looking forward to this year’s gathering. Although the Spring Youth Event had low numbers, the youth that attended had a great time at St. Thomas and took full advantage of all that Sun Valley has to offer. There was a great turnout at the Fall Youth Event at Paradise Point and was accompanied by perfect fall weather.

I am incredibly grateful for the support of the staff at the Diocesan Center and share my enormous gratitude for the good work and dedication they provide. I would like to recognize the members of the Paradise Point Committee and thank them for the time and energy they have devoted to the growth and development of the Camp Ministry. Thank you to Bishop Brian, his vision and direction have been the groundwork for the accomplishments that have taken place over the last few years. This combined energy has fostered another great summer and guarantees a future of incredible memories and spiritual connection with God in one of the most incredible place on Earth.

Respectfully Submitted,

Marty Beck Director of Camp and Youth Ministry Paradise Point Summer Camp Episcopal Diocese of Idaho

During 2013, the diocese’s adult Sexual Abuse Prevention was reworked. The three diocesan “trainers of trainers” (Holladay Sanderson, Marty Beck, and Michael Case) spent the Spring and Summer producing a video and print program based on Safeguarding God’s People and on the work of FaithTrust Institute.

The reworking and design was done to answer concerns raised in diocesan evaluations of the materials of Safeguarding God’s People. These concerns that centered on repetitiveness and focus of that program. Hopefully the training has been improved and enhanced. We await new sets of evaluations. In October 2013, the first workshop to Train Trainers for the diocesan adult sexual abuse prevention training was held in Twin Falls. Unfortunately, only three prospective trainers arrived: two from the Southwestern Deanery, one from the Central Deanery. None hailed from either the Western or Eastern Deaneries.

A second training for trainers of Adult Sexual Abuse Prevention Training needs to be held. However, discussions have been held about refocusing on the trainings, both child and adult, in a new way. After the introduction of the Code of Sexual Ethics and Professional Conduct at the 2011 Diocesan Convention in Pocatello, several trainings were held so that workshops for Safeguarding God’s Children could begin. Members from around the diocese were trained. New trainers are in varied locations including Boise, Weiser, Meridian, Sun Valley, Twin Falls, Fort Hall, Idaho Falls, and Salmon.

Several congregations throughout the diocese purchased their own copies of Safeguarding God’s Children so that training could happen on an as-needed basis locally. In addition, the deans of each deanery should have a copy of the program available to them. It remains troubling to report that only four Safeguarding God’s Children trainings have been reported to the diocese since the last convention. Our diocesan policy requires that vestries and all those who work with children in many capacities be trained. If you have any questions about the diocesan policy, please do not hesitate to contact Holladay Sanderson+ at All Saints in Boise. Trainings can be arranged in your congregation or region!

If training is not available to fill an immediate need, Safeguarding Online is alive and functioning well. A variety of modules are available for our formation. It is easy to access on the diocesan web page and each module takes 30 minutes to complete. Per diocesan policy, online training is only a placeholder until in-person or ‘platform’ training can be accessed.

I would encourage every congregation to have key people first take Safeguarding Online and then take the required in-person or platform training. Our diocesan policies, available online, denote who must be trained. The online training takes a total of 2 hours. The platform training takes a total of three or four hours and offers the opportunity of discussion. It is required by policy for many members of our congregations, beginning with our Vestry members.

Safeguarding our children and all the people of God are ministries we all share.

Respectfully submitted,

The Rev. Holladay Sanderson, Chair Committee on Sexual Ethics

Standing Committee Report to Diocesan Convention October 6, 2014

The formation, purpose, and procedures of Standing Committees are stipulated in The Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church and The Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho. The Board of Directors for the Corporation (the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho) consists of the Bishop, the Vice-President of Diocesan Council, and the members of Standing Committee. In addition, the ecclesiastical authority in the Diocese if there is no Bishop is the Standing Committee.

The four main functions/responsibilities of the Standing Committee include 1) monitoring and approving all financial transactions which involve church property throughout the diocese; 2) giving consents, or not, for the ordination of deacons and priests in the Diocese of Idaho; 3) giving consents, or not, to the election of Bishops in The Episcopal Church; and 4) serving as a council of advice to the Bishop of Idaho.

In addition, the Bishop must receive the consent of the Standing Committee when taking the following actions: setting the date and location of diocesan convention if not previously decided by the previous convention; changing the date and location of diocesan convention previously determined; calling a special meeting of convention; replacing an officer of convention; alienating property; starting, incorporating, or dissolving a congregation; and determining how to proceed in the presentment and trial of a clergy member.

Current Standing Committee members include the Rev. Ken Brannon (President), the Rev. Rand Fagg (Secretary), the Rev. Marilyn Butler, John Field, Lee Manning, and Patty Rowett-Matlock. The Bishop and the Chancellors are often invited to attend. Fr. Brannon and Mr. Manning are stepping down at this convention and one clergy person and one lay person will be elected.

As of this writing, the Standing Committee met seven times, either in person or by conference call. We also conducted business via electronic and postal mail. Major actions included:

• Welcoming Ms. Rowett-Matlock to the committee; • Reviewing protocols for the various consent processes; • Assisting the Bishop with sabbatical planning; • Providing a number of Episcopal and ordination consents; • Providing consent to Holy Nativity for a loan refinance and providing consent for a temporary

easement at Holy Nativity so that Meridian can repair/improve water lines; • Receiving information from the Diocese about a new master plan for Paradise Point; • Receiving a consent request from the Bishop for bank financing to begin construction of a new

home for the camp director at Paradise Point; • Advising the Bishop to share plans for Paradise Point more widely with the Diocese.

Respectfully submitted,

The Rev. Ken Brannon President

Eastern Deanery Convention Report, November 2014 The Eastern Deanery of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho consists of eight distinctive parishes with community populations of:

St. John’s, American Falls, ID 4,421 Trinity, Pocatello, ID 54,777 St. Paul’s, Blackfoot, ID 11,852 St. Luke’s, Idaho Falls, ID 57.899 Epiphany, Arco, ID 942 St. Phillips, Challis, ID 1,083 Redeemer, Salmon, ID 3,044 St. Francis, Alta, WY 394

The goal of this dean is to enhance communication between the Diocese and between the other churches in the deanery; to improve church websites; to support each parish’s community outreach programs; and to share news from the other parishes. To that end, I will visit each parish twice a year, and host training seminars in the fall and spring for Senior Wardens or an appointed persons.

Six of the eight parishes are from small towns yet they make a strong impact on their communities through their outreach programs which include:

Monthly Food Bank Pantries Daily Soup Kitchen Monthly Meals FISH – Friends in Service Here – helping needy families Angel Trees November Turkey Boxes My Brother’s Table Yearly Bird Banding Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center Ministry Our Gathering Place Choral Rendezvous

The parishes are responsive to community need and they seem to find a way to help, whether on their own, or with support of other denominations in their communities.

Anne LoPiccalo, Dean

Western Deanery Report, 2014 The Western Deanery consists of seven unique congregations in communities with populations ranging from 52 to 82,000.

Our Deanery Doer’s group, comprised solely of a community of lay representatives from all seven parishes, attempt to level that disparity by meeting several times a year to brainstorm ideas helping each other become stronger in faith and fellowship. This group is open to any and all who wish to come and participate. We share “what’s happening” in each of our parishes, and discuss Diocesan issues as they arise to incorporate them locally in our communities.

The communication between our Western Deanery parishes has vastly improved over the last few years which creates the feeling of one large entity, rather than seven individual small ones. The Deanery Representative and Dean have visited all of the seven, a minimum of twice a year…more when time allows. This is to share news from the different communities, which reminds us again we are all proud members of the Idaho Episcopal Diocese.

I cordially invite all of you to come and visit our Western Deanery parishes in Caldwell, Emmett, McCall, Nampa, Payette, Placerville, and Weiser. You will find a warm welcome with the passion to be the hands and heart of Jesus in this world.

Mary Flaschner, Dean
