The following specifies voting privileges as identified in The 2016 Book of Discipline ¶602.1: a) Clergy members in full connection shall have the right to vote on all matters in the Annual Conference except in the election of lay delegates to the General and Jurisdictional or Central Conferences and shall have sole responsibility for all matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy. b) Provisional clergy members shall have the right to vote in the Annual Conference on all matters except constitutional amendments and matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy. c) Associate and affiliate clergy members shall have the right to vote in the Annual Conference on all matters except constitutional amendments, and matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy. d) Full-time and part-time local pastors under appointment to a pastoral charge shall have the right to vote in the Annual Conference on all matters except constitutional amendments and matters of ordination, character, and conference relations of clergy. e) Per ¶605.7, lay members of BOM have voice and vote in clergy session.

Plenary (online) - Afternoon Session – Thursday, July 17, 2021 Upper New York Resident Bishop, Mark J. Webb opened the 12th Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference at 1:30 p.m. At the table with Bishop Webb are Drew Griffin, Conference Lay Leader and Jeff Hodge, Conference Secretary. The bishop introduced representatives from Good News TV (GNTV) to explain the online Conference process and procedures for voting.

Monitoring Bishop Webb introduced Georgia Whitney, laity, and Scott Johnson, clergy, representing the Conference Committee on Religion and Race (CCORR) to explain the monitoring process. To determine how many times people of different backgrounds speak, speakers are asked to identify themselves prior to speaking by stating: name and gender, race, clergy or laity, district and local church you represent. The Conference Communications team will track this data and report it each day. Bishop Webb turned to the Conference secretary to help us organize this session.

Equalization Members Secretary Hodge explained that to comply with Conference rules, the first action will be to elect equalization members, both at-large and those serving by virtue of office. Only equalization members who participated in the 2020 Conference are eligible to vote on this motion. Hodge also noted the addition of Paula Kuempel, Chairperson of Equitable Compensation, as an equalization member by virtue of office.

The list of equalization members was approved.

Conference Board of Trustees Bishop Webb introduced Rev. Rich Barling, Chair of the Conference Board of Trustees to present their annual report. Rev. Barling introduced Kathy King-Griswold, laity, treasurer, who presented the trustee’s financial report. Total revenues for 2020 were $1,111,383 with expenditures exceeding revenues by $87,411 prior to transfers.

After the transfers, the net deficit is $396,125. The transfer to New Beginnings Fund was $308,714. Due to the sales proceeds and the number of sales, the total number of transfers were greater than the prior amount of $53,700 from 2019 between New Beginnings Fund and Camping and Retreat Ministry. The net deficit of $87,411 is largely a result of endowment fund payouts and distributions and legal costs exceeding the benefit of the sale of closed churches. Mrs. King-Griswold reported that the outstanding balance on guaranteed loan balance is approximately $850,000.

The work of maintaining and marketing the Conference’s closed churches continues in 2020 and 2021. As of May 3, 2021, it included 29 closed churches, five (5) of which have parsonages and seven (7) legacy locations.

Rev. Barling provided the insurance report and introduced Rev. Mike Weeden, Chair of the Cabinet, who presented the proposed list of churches to be closed.

Child Victims Act (CVA) Rev. Barling presented a pre-recorded report detailing the work of the Children Victim Acts Committee, given by Rev. Sara Baron, Rev. Rich Barling, Holly Rousch, and Rev. Mike Weeden. At last year’s Annual Conference, Conference Chancellor Peter Abdella reported on status of lawsuits filed against the Conference under CVA, which allowed retroactive filing by victims of childhood abuse. The Act is scheduled to expire in August of 2021. To date, twelve lawsuits have been filed. Churches named in all but two of these cases. In addition, there are eight additional cases where churches are named without the Conference. All relate to potential liability arising out of church-sponsored Boy Scout cases. Those churches have retained counsel. The cases stem from conduct going back to 40-50 years and involved churches in each of the four legacy conferences. A lawsuit for any reason is concerning, but these lawsuits present a host of unique and daunting challenges. First, the time elapsed from the abuse and today represents an enormous gap. Many people involved are deceased, written records are also rare. Record retention policies in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s did not envision retaining these records. Without witnesses and documentary evidence, it is very difficult to get a clear picture of what happened. In addition, applicable church and Conference insurance policies have been lacking. In many cases, we haven’t been able to identity the companies. In those few cases where we could identity insurance, the policies didn’t cover this.

These cases place us in a very moral, ethical dilemma; trying for out-of-court settlements. In addition to our chancellor, the Conference has retained a law firm that specializes in this work. We must defend ourselves using whatever resources we can. Trustees lead us in this defense. Our legal approach is to attempt to amicably settle. The Conference may have to use some of the AC’s resources for attorney fees and the third-party mediators and settlement payments to the deserving victims. Each of the administrative and financial teams have identified funds that could be used, operating reserve, trustee unrestricted funds, and pension and health funds.

Vested pension funds held by Wespath are not available as possible resources to remediate CVA claims.

The CVA Committee has been advised by legal counsel on a range of legal costs. This estimate is for planning purposes only. Chancellor Abdella concluded the report, inviting written questions about the report. Because the Conference is in the midst of these legal cases and litigation is pending, we cannot and should not get into an open discussion that would be public. These questions and answers will be posted. Questions about the Child Victims Act can be sent to cvaquestions@unyumc.org. Any questions can be directed to trustees.

Rev. Barling presented the complete report of the Conference Trustees for approval. It was approved, with 98.9% voting yes and 1.09% voting no.

Secretary Hodge made announcements before our dismissal for lunch. Bishop Webb introduced Rev. Carolyn Stow, who will succeed Rev. Hodge as Conference Secretary. Rev. Stow led the lunch time prayer.

The session is in recess until 1:30 p.m.

Thanks to Carolyn Stow as she prepares to be Conference Secretary when Jeff leaves. Carolyn prayed.

Vote on Amended Petition The amended petition was posted and available for review during lunch. Marthalyn Sweet, laity, the submitter of the petition, was given three (3) minutes for closing remarks. There was a time of silent prayer before the vote. The petition as amended was adopted, with 343 voting yes and 217 voting no.

Conference Committee on Nominations Bishop welcomed Rev. Tony Hipes, Chair of the Nominations Committee, who presented the Conference Committee on Nominations Report. Due to pandemic-related delays, there has not been a General Conference, impacting positions and teams elected for the quadrennium. Rev. Hipes offered a resolution seeking to suspend the rules for the election of some positions: WHEREAS the decision to postponed General Conference until 2022 extends the current quadrennium for yet another year, WHEREAS the UNY Conference Rules dictate some teams be elected quadrennially, specifically, College Ministry, Team, Hispanic Ministries Committee, and the Social Holiness Team, WHEREAS the UNY Conference Nominations Team does not want to constrain leadership transitions on these teams for another year by holding them to the current members, Therefore, the UNY Conference Nominations Team asks for a suspension of the Conference Rules to allow the election of these three teams for a four-year period.

The vote to suspend the rules was approved by a vote of 549, yes and 34, no. The nominations were posted and announced. The Conference Secretary ad interim will be Rev. Carolyn Stow. The Board of Trustees will serve ad interim until the 2022 General Conference. Since there is no paper ballot, the class of 2025 will continue.

For the Conference Committee on Religion and Race, there are three names that were inadvertently left on the written report that need to be removed: Carrie Wolfe, Pam Burns, and Rachael Jordan. It was also noted that Blenda Smith, Member Emeritus should be added to the list.

For the Committee on Native American Ministries (CONAM), the following names were left off the written report: Bethany Printup Dias, Carolyn Houston, Kay Wilbert, Elizabeth Brook Conlin, Susan Prossen, Thomas White Wolf Fassett, Rosalynn Kinsburgy, Mary Alice Nehan, Rosalee Shantunish. The full report is before the body for a vote.

JJ Warren, laity, spoke against the report, specifically changes to the Board of Ordained Ministry, claiming that Richelle Goff, clergy, was removed from the board because of her stance and recent actions that her church has taken to allow the performance of same-sex marriages.

Bishop Webb removed himself from his chair and made a personal statement in response to Mr. Warren’s comments, which included the following: “One of the requirements has consistently been the ability to

57

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

support United Methodist polity, The Book of Discipline, and The United Methodist Church. The requirement is consistent and validated by several Judicial Council decisions, including Decision 1366, which reminds that ‘under long-standing principle of legality, The Discipline contains the law of The United Methodist Church, governing the conduct of lay and clergy members and regulating all aspects of church life. No individual member or entity should violate, ignore, or negate Church law.

The principle of legality demands that all decisions and actions by official bodies and their representatives be based on and limited by the Constitution and The Discipline. The Board of Ordained Ministry is mandated to apply and enforce all relevant provisions. My nominations for the one-year interim Board of Ordained Ministry is before you for your action.”

Bishop Webb declared an attempt to nominate someone to the Board of Ordained Ministry from the floor, out of order. He reiterated his position, that the Board of Ordained Ministry is nominated by the Bishop.

Joel Holcomb, clergy, made a motion to divide the question by pulling out the Board of Ordained Ministry nominations from the rest of the nominations report. It received a second. The vote to divide the question was not approved, with 267 voting yes, 348, no. It needed 308 to pass.

Ian Urriola laity, Genesee Valley District, moved to appeal the previous ruling of the chair that the Board of Ordained Ministry nominations cannot be amended by the Annual Conference. Mr. Urriola explained that in his reading of The Book of Discipline, he agrees that the Bishop brings Board of Ordained Ministry nominations to the Annual Conference, but there is no clarity in The Book of Discipline that nominations cannot come to the Board of Ordained Ministry, from the floor. The vote to be taken is to uphold the Chair’s (Bishop’s) ruling. The vote to support the Chair’s ruling was upheld, with 435 voting yes and 165 voting no. 311 votes were required to pass The report of the Nominations Committee continued with the district nominations. After reviewing the nominations, Rev. Hipes moved the approval of District Nominations. The district nominations were approved, with 610 voting yes and 18 voting no. 315 votes were required for passage. Rev. Hipes then moved the passage of the entire Nominations Report. It was approved, with 563 voting yes and 86 voting no. 325 votes were required for passage.

Brett Johnson clergy, male, requested a declaratory decision from the Judicial Council to clarify the following ambiguity: Does paragraph 635.1(a) of the 2016/2019 “Book of Discipline” operate as a prohibition on nominations to the Board of Ordained Ministry from the floor of the Annual Conference?

The Request for a declaratory decision from the Judicial Council requires 1/5 support from the body. It was supported with 286 voting yes and 366 voting no. 131 votes were needed for passage.

Conference Council on Finance & Administration Bishop Webb welcomed Holly Rousch, Chair of the Conference Council on Finance & Administration (CCFA) and Bob Flask, Conference Treasurer, for the Council’s Report. Ms. Rousch presented the proposed 2022 budget, noting a $725,000 reduction in the budget over the previous year.

Sharon Rankins-Burd, clergy, asked about the future of the Conference Media Resource Center, which has been removed from the 2022 budget. Rev. Gottschalk-Fielding explained that there was no plan in place, but that a team would be put together to think of ways to provide resources in the future. The Budget for 2022 was approved with 565 voting yes and 44 voting no.

Bishop Webb thanked the CCF&A team for their work and expressed appreciation and gratitude for the faithful stewardship of the local churches. According to the Bishop, UNYAC was one of a few Annual Conferences in the connection that paid 100% of general church apportionments. It is an accomplishment that does not go unnoticed, and it is not taken for granted. He also explained that the Conference was able to reduce this year’s budget over 2020 because of reduction in costs and the ability to generate income through other sources. Ms. Rousch presented the entire report for approval. It was approved, with 95.3% voting yes and 4.7% voting no.

There was a brief break. When the session resumed, the Bishop introduced a video featuring Shelley Dawson Smith, laity, Immanuel UMC in Camillus, who described and praised the work of the Conference Mission Hub. An offering was taken for the Mission Hub, collecting a total of $6,014.01.

UNYAC2021.6 – Suggested Title: Support New York Senate Bill S.4814/Assembly Bill A.4697, also known as “Daniel’s Law” Whereas the biblical view of the criminal justice system is one that should be characterized by accessibility to all (Deuteronomy 1:17; 16:18), impartiality (Exodus 22:1-3), honesty (Exodus 23:7), integrity (Exodus 23:6, 8), and fairness to all without regard to status (Leviticus 19:15); and Whereas ¶162A of The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church names racism and the ways it manifests in both personal and institutional forms as sin and affirms the support of the United Methodist Church in efforts to “implement compensatory programs that redress long-standing, systemic social deprivation of racial and ethnic persons.”; and Whereas ¶164H of The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church names the need for “positive interaction between law enforcement officials and members of the community at large,” and identifies that “most criminal justice systems around the world are retributive.”; and Whereas Resolution 5031 of The 2016 Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church identifies that “Systems of retribution breed only violence and isolation,” leading to “misinformed and biased public perceptions of racial and ethnic minorities,” that “justify excessively punitive policies.”; and Whereas Resolution 5031 of The 2016 Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church urges police departments to “publicly establish standards of police conduct and policies for promotion that incorporate training in peacekeeping, life-protecting, other service roles, and law enforcement,” and that these “standards must include strict limits on the deadly use of force.”; and Whereas Resolution 3379 of The 2016 Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church states, “Overpolicing erodes community trust in law enforcement and sends a clear message to police that not all Americans are equal under law, as people in targeted communities do not have the same communities do not have the same constitutional protections other Americans enjoy.”; and Whereas Resolution 3379 of The 2016 Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church calls on Annual Conferences to “Engage with churches and local communities in speaking out publicly for police accountability regarding racial profiling, misconduct, abuse, and killings.”; and

73

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

Whereas Resolution 3379 of The 2016 Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church calls on local governments to “stop the criminalization of communities of color and the cacophony of ‘wars’ being waged against these communities” and to “make the enforcement and protection of international human rights law central to criminal justice and immigration policy.”; and Whereas The 2016 Session of the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference unanimously affirmed a call to eradicate systemic racism in the Church and in the world; and Whereas police brutality, especially perpetrated against Black communities and communities of color and including the extrajudicial killing of Black and Brown individuals by law enforcement officials, is a symptom of systemic racism that upholds white supremacy; and Whereas on March 23, 2020, seven officers of the Rochester Police Department restrained Daniel Prude, an unarmed Black man experiencing a mental health crisis, using a mesh hood, commonly called a “spit hood” in the process; and Whereas this interaction with law enforcement resulted in Daniel Prude being hospitalized; and Whereas on March 30, 2020, Daniel Prude succumbed to his injuries after being taken off of life support; and Whereas the Monroe County medical examiner ruled Daniel Prudes death to be a homicide caused by complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint; and Whereas on Feb. 23, 2021, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that the empaneled grand jury declined to indict the seven Rochester Police Officers involved in the case on criminal charges; and Whereas the events surrounding Daniel Prude’s interaction with the Rochester Police directly contributed to his death at their hands; and Whereas had more compassionate and appropriate care been provided in that moment, Daniel would not have ended up lying naked in the street with a spit hood over his head on a freezing winter night; and Whereas on Jan. 29, 2021, officers of the Rochester Police Department used pepper spray against a nineyear-old Black girl experiencing a mental health crisis in their attempt to detain her; and Whereas police departments lack the capacity and training to properly and safely respond to mental health and substance abuse crises; and Whereas Bill S.4814/A.4697, also known as Daniel’s Law, will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of all citizens by broadly ensuring a public health-based response to anyone in New York experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis; and Whereas Daniel’s Law will offer and ensure the most appropriate response to, treatment of, and transport of individuals experiencing crisis due to mental health conditions or substance use; and

74

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

Whereas Daniel’s Law will de-escalate crisis situations so that as few New Yorkers as possible experience nonconsensual transport, use of force, or criminal consequences as a result of mental health or substance abuse crises; and Whereas police reform is a non-partisan issue; and Whereas the 2021 legislative session for New York State legislature ended on June 10, 2021, prior to the convening of the 2021 Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference; and Whereas Appendix B of this resolution is a memorandum of support that faithfully articulates the position of the Upper New York Annual Conference should Daniel’s Law be passed prior to the convening of the 2021 Session of the Upper New York Annual Conference; and Whereas Appendix C of this resolution is a memorandum of support that faithfully articulates the position of the Upper New York Annual Conference should Daniel’s Law fail to pass or is not voted on during the 2021 session of the New York State legislature.

Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, representing over 144,000 members in 956 faith communities across 49 counties in the state of New York, heartily and emphatically supports, as a matter of faith and conscious, New York Senate Bill S.4814 and Assembly Bill A.4697, also known as Daniel’s Law; and Therefore, be it further resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference calls on faithful United Methodists in the State of New York to relentlessly petition their State Senators and Assembly Members in support of the passage of anti-racist legislation that will eradicate police brutality across New York State, akin to Daniel’s Law; and Therefore, be it further resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference directs the Annual Conference Secretary to mail one of the attached memoranda of support for Daniel’s Law, depending on the status of Daniel’s Law at the convening of the 2021 session of the Upper New York Annual Conference and affixed with the seal of the Upper New York Annual Conference, to the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Majority Leader of the Assembly, Majority Whip of the Assembly, Minority Leader of the Assembly, Minority Whip of the Assembly, President Pro Tempore of the New York State Senate, Majority Whip of the State Senate, Minority Leader of the State Senate, Minority Whip of the State Senate, and the Governor of New York State (contact information attached) no later than fifteen (15) days after the adjourning of the 2021 session of the Upper New York Annual Conference.

UNYAC2021.7 — Proposal to Form a Study Commission on the Readiness of UNY for Implementation of the Protocol of Reconciliation and Grace Through Separation Conference Committee/Agency that would be affected by/responsible for implementation if passed: Conference Treasurer, Dean of Cabinet, Conference Chancellor, Director of Connectional Ministries, Director of Vital Congregations, Committee on Finance and Administration, Trustees, Board of Ordained Ministry, General and Jurisdictional Conference Delegation, and Nominations and Leadership Development, and Conference Board of Pensions & Health Benefits.

Whereas on Jan. 3, 2020, a team of United Methodists, convened by the late Bishop John Yambasu, released proposed legislation for General Conference entitled “The Protocol of Reconciliation and Grace Through Separation (“the Protocol”);” and

75

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

Whereas since that announcement, a number of groups have met to form new expressions of Methodism in the form of new, established denominations; and Whereas formal study is needed to determine how the Upper New York Annual Conference will be affected in the event that the Protocol be enacted by the General Conference; and Whereas it is wise and prudent to do the work of this study prior to the convening of the General Conference, rather than after.

Therefore, be it resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference authorizes the formation of a commission to study and report on the readiness of the Upper New York Annual Conference for the implementation of the protocol; and Be it further resolved that this commission shall be composed of the Conference Treasurer, the Dean of Cabinet, the Conference Chancellor, the Director of Connectional Ministries, the Director of Vital Congregations, a representative from the Committee on Finance and Administration, a representative from the Annual Conference Board of Trustees, a representative of the Board of Ordained Ministry, a representative from the Upper New York delegation to the General and Jurisdictional Conferences, and up to three persons named by Nominations and Leadership Development; and a representative of the Board of Pensions & Health Benefits.

Be it further resolved that this commission shall organize itself and name its own officers as it sees fit and that the Conference staff shall resource this commission as the commission determines; and Be it further resolved that this commission shall survey of every local congregation and every new faith community in the Upper New York Annual Conference and request the lay leader, in consultation with the pastor, to ascertain the following information: • • •

Has your congregation had conversations about the Protocol since it was announced?

Has your church council had conversations about the Protocol since it was announced?

If the Protocol passes, do you believe that your congregation will remain in the post-separation United Methodist Church? (an answer of “unsure at this time” is acceptable)

Be it further resolved that this commission shall also survey every appointed clergyperson serving in the Upper New York Annual Conference to ascertain the above information, as well as: • •

If the Protocol passes, do you believe that you will keep your membership in the post-separation United Methodist Church?

How many more years of active ministry do you believe you will have before you retire?;

Be it further resolved that this commission shall report the results of this study, along with an analysis of the financial implications of the data with a two quadrennia forecast, to the Annual Conference through the Communications Team of the Conference staff and to the Upper New York delegation to General and Jurisdictional Conference no later than Feb. 1, 2022; and

76

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

Be it further resolved that the commission reports the results of this study in two ways: 1) A broader, high-level summary that will be shared with the Annual Conference and the public, reporting key data marks in the aggregate in general ranges and keeping the specific information for individual congregations and clergy confidential and; 2) An executive, confidential report that is shared only with the cabinet, the Council on Finance and Administration, the Commission on Equitable Compensation, the Board of Pension and Health Benefits, the Conference Leadership Team, the General and Jurisdictional Conference Delegation, and any other conference teams or agencies the commission determines should see this executive report; this executive report will reveal the results of individual congregations.

Be it further resolved that the Upper New York Annual Conference calls on all those who are surveyed to fully cooperate in the commission’s work.

Trustees Report The complete Trustees Report is adopted.

Nominations Report The entire nominations report is adopted.

Declaratory Decision Brett Johnson requested a declaratory decision from the Judicial Council. This was supported.

Budget The 2022 budget of $9,125,000 is adopted.

UNYAC2021.8 — Proposal to Provide for Team Transparency and Greater Participation of Annual Conference in Mission Planning Whereas the Apostle Paul built churches with the transparency Christ modeled and taught, saying, “we refuse to practice cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth, we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God” (2 Corinthians 4:2), Whereas the “Annual Conference” is defined in paragraph 32 of The 2016 United Methodist Discipline as, “clergy and lay members” who meet annually to accomplish the work of the church, Whereas in paragraph 608 of The 2016 United Methodist Discipline, the “Annual Conference” is invested with the responsibility to “focus and guide the mission and ministry of The United Methodist Church within its boundaries,” Therefore, be it resolved, that all missional planning documents of the Conference Operational Team and Conference Leadership Team that are ready for implementation or being implemented be immediately made available to all members of The Upper New York Annual Conference.

Be it further resolved that the particular strategies articulated by the Conference Operational Team and Conference Leadership Team for the pursuit of our common mission be regularly submitted to the Upper New York Annual Conference.

77

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Daily Proceedings

Be it further resolved that the Conference Operational Team be accountable to the Annual Conference and nominated for a term by the Nominations Team to serve a four-year term.

Conference Advance Specials The list of Conference Advance Specials published in Journal Vol. 1 is adopted.

Closing Resolution The 12th session of The Upper New York Annual Conference is hereby adjourned until we gather on June 2-4, 2022 in Syracuse, New York for the 13th Session of The Upper New York Annual Conference. Further, that in matters of importance requiring attention between sessions of the Upper New York Annual Conference, a mail ballot be authorized, where the bishop and a majority of the district superintendents deem that process to be appropriate.

CVA Report to 2021 Annual Conference - Executive Summary As part of the Conference Board of Trustees Report to Annual Conference, the CVA Committee, comprised of representatives of conference administrative and financial teams, will share the conference’s legal response to the Child Victims Act. This executive summary is provided in advance of the CVA Committee’s report.

The Child Victims Act, signed into law in August 2019, opened a window for otherwise timebarred filing of civil cases by victims of childhood sexual abuse against entities and organizations like schools, churches and annual conferences. The window for filing such claims is scheduled to close this August. Multiple cases have been filed against the conference and/or local churches under this law. Several additional cases have been filed against local churches under other statutes for alleged abuse by leaders of church-sponsored Boy Scout troops.

The challenges faced by the conference and affected local churches are several. First, the allegations stem from as long as forty to fifty years ago, making it difficult to locate relevant records and witnesses. Second, applicable conference and church insurance policies are lacking, leaving the conference and affected local churches entirely responsible for legal and settlement costs. Third, the moral and ethical challenge of seeking justice for victims while safeguarding conference resources is significant. There are no easy answers.

The Book of Discipline authorizes the conference Board of Trustees to lead the response to these challenges. ¶2512.4 states “[t]he board may intervene and take all necessary legal steps to safeguard and protect the interests and rights of the annual conference anywhere and in all matters relating to property and rights to property whether arising by gift, device, or otherwise, or were held in trust or established for the benefit of the annual conference or its membership.”

The board has worked consultatively through the CVA Committee and has adopted a legal approach which seeks to amicably resolve the CVA claims whenever possible. In implementing this approach, it will be necessary to utilize some of the conferences' precious resources for attorneys’ fees, third-party mediators, and, ultimately, settlement payments to deserving victims. As a critical part of the conference's handling of the CVA claims, the CVA Committee has determined it is imperative each case be assessed for credibility, culpability, severity, and financial valuation.

The CVA Committee has identified potential assets to underwrite the costs of our legal defense, including internally designated funds administered by the Conference Board of Trustees, the operating reserve overseen by the Council on Finance and Administration, and the supplemental pension and health funds overseen by the Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits. Vested pension funds held by Wespath, including in-plan accounts of both individuals and the 2 conference, are not available as possible resources to remediate CVA claims because of the restricted nature of such funds.

Other assets, such as real estate, offices, district parsonages, camp and retreat ministry centers, could be leveraged to generate funds to support healing and reconciliation of CVA claims if necessary. To the extent such measures were required, the conference ministries could be severely diminished.

The CVA Committee has been advised of the range of total costs which might be incurred but has not established a public budget. Wanting to achieve a just resolution for claimants which stewards conference

205

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Reports

resources for the long haul, the CVA Committee has prioritized treating each claimant fairly and equitably, no matter when their claim was filed within the CVA window.

It could take 2-3 years to fully resolve the cases currently before us. Throughout this entire time, the CVA Committee will provide conference members regular updates as new information and needs arise.

We pray for the survivors of child sexual abuse and for the wisdom and courage to be guardians and advocates for the most vulnerable among us. For to such as these belong the Kingdom of God.

Pension and Health Benefits, Board of (BOPHB) The Board of Pensions and Health Benefits has worked to respond to the realities of COVID-19 and the impact that it has had on the church and the world. We felt grateful to be able to offer a 3 month “CPP holiday” in May, June, and July of 2020, whereby local churches with Comprehensive Protection Plan payments had them waived for those months. We were also grateful to able to offer 1 months’ worth of relief on church HealthFlex payments (MED), applied to December 2020, based on March 2020 billing.

Our generosity was made possible by Wespath’s generosity to us, and we hope that it eased the burdens on local churches whose budgets were strapped as the world changed around us.

We continue to be aware that our job is to care for those who have served, while also attending to the needs of the churches they have served and are serving. This results in a constant awareness of balancing differing needs while seeking justice and fairness. As with all other Christians and all other parts of the church, we are striving for perfection, but we are not there yet. We are thankful for your grace as we continue to work on your behalf.

Below is up to date information about the programs we offer and the policies we have in place.

It has been a humbling honor to serve as the Vice-Chair and now Chair of the Board of Pensions and Health Benefits and I am profoundly grateful to Mary Rublee who was the chair through 2020, to the entire board and its officers, and to the staff of both Upper New York and Wespath who inform us, support us and implement our decisions.

Programs, Policies, and Action Items This report will provide updates to the UNYAC BOPHB Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP), United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) and Pre-82 Plan. It will also provide updates to UNYAC Health and Protection programs including HealthFlex, Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP), and Via Benefits (formerlyOneExchange).

UNYAC Board of Pension and Health Benefits Initiatives More Health Plan Options in 2021 - The UNYAC BOPHB adopted Wespath’s HealthFlex Exchange. This was done to comply with Wespath’s mandate to have all Plan sponsors in their Healthflex Exchange by 1/1/2021. The transition has allowed UNYAC to offer more health plan options and provide participants with a premium credit that they can apply toward plans of their choice. Along with providing participants with more choice, the transition allowed for the conference to better control escalating costs. UNYAC’s benefit staff along with members of the UNYAC BOPHB conducted a series of seven online educational sessions between September and October of 2020 to help participants prepare for the changes and open enrollment.

As covered in the educational sessions, and as you have seen on your statements, the billing for the Wespath HealthFlex Exchange changed slightly from the former billing process. Local churches continue to be billed the blended premium rate of $13,920 (annually). Under the new Healthflex Exchange program, participants receive a premium credit to spend on the plans that best suit their need. If a participant chooses plan(s) that exceed the premium credit, the difference is billed to the participant.

Conversely, if a participant chooses plan(s) that costs lessthan the premium credit amount, the difference is placed in an HSA or HRA health account for the benefit of the participant. Local churches are billed a Blended Rate that is used to fund the clergy contribution dollars.

Participants are encouraged to elect a pre-tax flexible spending (FSA) account ($2,750 in 2020/21) deducted from their salary and administered through Health Equity. This is a pre-tax benefit to help pay for deductibles and other medical-related expenses (including vision and dental).

Julie Valeski, UNYAC’s Benefits Administrator, once again held a very successful retirement seminar for clergy and spouses who are approaching retirement age. We will continue this program in 2021-22.

Wespath has partnered with EY (formerly Ernst and Young) to offer free financial planning services to active participants, surviving spouses, and terminated and retired participants with a pension account balance of at least $10,000. EY’s financial planners provide confidential, objective guidanceon making investment decisions, saving for retirement, managing debt, understanding tax issues and evaluating insurance needs. This service has been significantly under-utilized. Retirement planning can be a confusing and stressful activity. The professionals at EY can assist you at no cost. We strongly encourage you to use this amazing service. You can getstarted by calling EY directly at 1-800-360-2539.

The UNYAC BOPHB continues to support wellness incentives through the Virgin Pulse Health Miles Program. You can earn up to $410 per year for walking, exercising, and participating in wellness activities and coaching.

The UNYAC BOPHB created an investment sub-committee to review our investment policy and recommend changes. This sub-committee will be responsible for reporting to the full board on matters of investment performance, appropriateness of investments and compliance with adopted investment guidelines. The committee also has oversight over the UNYAC BOPHB investment compliance with UNYAC’s Fossil Fuel divestment resolution and will be responsible for the periodic reporting requirements set forth by UNYAC. Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) and Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP)—75%-and-above Appointments (No changes) We have not made changes to CRSP or CPP. CRSP pension benefits are for active clergy serving 75%-time appointments and above. Clergy who voluntarily contribute at least 1% of their total compensation to their United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) account will receive a matching 1% CRSP contribution through the program to their defined contribution CRSP account, as prescribed in the plan agreement, insofar as their congregation pays their benefit obligation.

CRSP - To fund this plan, all congregations that have 75%-time-and-above appointments are billed a percentage based on pension-based compensation (salary plus housing). There is no change to the 13.8% billing to churches.

CPP – Clergy in full connection, serving in 75% appointments as well as all FT appointed clergy, will continue to be billed to churches at 3% of pension-based compensation (salary plus housing). CPP offers death, long term disability, and survivor benefits to clergy and their families.

Clergy Retirement Security Program Defined Benefits (CRSP-DB) and Ministerial Protection Plan (MPP) Annuities The Board received the pension actuarial report from Wespath dated Sept. 30, 2020, outlining the components of UNYAC’s CRSP-DB, MPP Annuities as well as our Conference specific Pre-82 report. For end of year 2020, the UNYAC 2020 owed a CRSP-DB contribution in the amount of $1,673,330 which was due by Dec.31, 2020. Accordingly, the UNYAC BOPHB paid the 2020 CRSP-DB contribution in its entirety.

208

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Reports

According to the report, for year-end 2021, the UNYAC BOPHB is estimated to owe $1,608,465 to Wespath for the CRSP-DB. For year-end 2022, the UNYAC BOPHB is estimated to owe $1,536,187 to Wespath for the CRSP-DB. Special Grants UNYAC BOPHB has been providing assistance via special monthly grants, as established in previous years and as provided for in The Book of Discipline.

The Board of Pension & Health Benefits will annually review previous and future pension grants to retirees and widows/widowers but will not publish names, to protect their privacy and dignity.

The 2020 special grants included two retired clergy, one CPP participant and two clergy widows equaling a cumulative annual payout of $20,539.

UNYAC Healthflex Arrearage Policy (Effective 1/1/2020) As you are aware, the UNYAC BOPHB, with the support of the Cabinet, approved an arrearage policy to assist us in controlling the increasing deficits year to year, due to a small number of churches and/or pastors that were not paying their direct bills.

Due to the pandemic, and understanding the struggle faced by churches and pastors, the UNYAC BOPHB voted to delay the enforcement of the arrearage policy through 12/31/2020 while also asking churches who were able, to please continue to pay their direct bills, and to contact the benefits office if you could only pay a portion and needed to set-up a special arrangement. Many of you did just that and our collection rate for direct bills in 2020 was just under 99%! There are a handful of churches who also made a significant dent in their prior year (2019 and earlier) arrearage amounts. To all of you, we cannot thank you enough.

For calendar year 2021, the board has again voted to delay the enforcement of the arrearage policy through 12/31/2021. While things are looking up, there are still churches that are struggling, and we want you all to know that you have our support. As we did last year, we still ask that churches who are able, please continue to pay your direct bills.

Health Benefit Program Policies The guidelines by whichour health benefits program is administered are presented here for the sake of clarity and understanding by all: Blended Rate (MED)—Since our health benefits plan covers all full-time clergy, our connectional responsibility requires that every church served by a full-time pastor pay the blended rate. The blended rate is NOT an insurance premium for the individual currently serving as the church’s pastor. It is each full-time church’s equal [connectional] share of the total Conference premium that provides health benefits for active clergy, Conference staff and their families throughout our diverse conference.

Retired Clergy: Retired clergy, age 65 or above, must be enrolled with the Social Security Administration for coverage under Medicare, Part A and Part B,before they can be enrolled in the Via Benefits network.

Retiree Health Eligibility: A retired participant eligible for the Via Benefits programis defined as a

209

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VI. Reports

former active participant in the Conference’s Healthflex benefit planwith at least five years of continuous coverage at the time of retirement immediately preceding the retirement effective date (aka 5 year vesting), and whose primary coverage at retirement is through Medicare Part A and Part B. The formula for HRA funding is based on 3.33% of “fully funded HRA amount” per fulltime equivalent year of service up to 30 years of service and the 5-year vesting rule. CBOPHB determines the fully funded HRA amount annually.

Clergy Who Retire before the Age of 65: Clergy who retire before the age of 65 will share in the expense of their continued coverage in HealthFlex until their 65th birthday. If such early retired clergy chooses not to continue in the Conference HealthFlex program (i.e., go onto spouse’s healthcare program) they will forfeit their eligibility for Via Benefits and the retiree HRA when they become Medicare eligible at age 65.

Reporting back to UNYAC 2021: Retiree Coverage through Via Benefits: The conference will continue our agreement with Via Benefits (formerly OneExchange) to provide a choice of Medicare Supplement, Part D prescription and/or Medicare Advantagehealth insurance plans for the Conferences current and future eligible retirees who are already enrolled or will be enrolled in Medicare. These plans will continue to be combined with an individual Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) for each retiree and spouse, as applicable.

The 2020 UNYAC referred to the board a change to the HRA that was scheduled to begin January 1, 2020.

We were requested to bring an updated proposal to the 2021 Annual Conference Session. After requesting an actuarial assessment of our retiree health care costs, and receiving the report in February, we do not feel prepared to offer any changes at this time. Thus, the 2020 policy in place will continue throughout 2021, and we will inform you of future changes if they are to come.

In God’s Peace, Sara Baron Chairperson, UNY Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits

Rev. Voigt D. Archer Rev. Voigt Day Archer was born Nov. 13, l933 in E. Rochester, NY, the son of Voigt D. Archer Sr. and Erma Bahlef Archer. He left this life for the next on Dec. 1, 2020. Both his parents and his sister, Patricia Trescott, predeceased him.

Voigt attended primary and secondary schools in E. Rochester, then moved on to Syracuse University. While attending college, Voigt not only received an education, he fell in love with a young woman, Beverly Nason, with whom he would share a marriage of some 65 years. While he was brought up within a Presbyterian family, he was drawn to ordained ministry in the Methodist Church. He answered his call and went on to serve the church and the Lord of the Church all his life, both as an effective member of the Annual Conference and while in retirement.

Arch, as he was known to his friends and colleagues, seemed blessed in his associations and experiences along the way of his ministry. While studying for his divinity degree at Boston University School of Theology, he had a student job cleaning Marsh Chapel for its notable incumbent, Dean 'Howard Thurman.

Later in his ministry, in the depths of the Cold War, he was part of a group of Conference leaders who toured the Soviet Union and other Eastern European states. Perhaps most memorable, he took part in the civil rights march on Washington and was present when Dr. Martin Luther King gave his “I Have A Dream” speech. No doubt this experience bolstered Arch's lifelong commitment to racial equality.

Pastoral ministry was Arch's major focus in life. Members of several local churches benefited from his solid preaching, his wise counsel, and careful administration. Moreover, every area of his ministry was authenticated by the kind of person that he was. Arch was both a good minister of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and a consummate Christian gentleman. Methodists in Clockville, Ithaca, Homer, Skaneateles, Centenary Elmira, Sodus, Syracuse Bellevue Heights, Phoenix, and Baldwinsville, all benefited from his ministry and his witness. Some people who were children during Arch's tenure will remember being delighted by his puppet enhanced children's stories. While he worked hard, he also enjoyed spending his vacation time with his family at a much-loved cottage on Great East Lake in Wakefield, New Hampshire.

During his pastorate at Sodus, Arch required surgery on his vocal cords that left him with a diminished ability to speak. It was a preacher's nightmare, but with deep faith and considerable fortitude Arch was able to recover his voice. His determination in this dire circumstance was indicative of his strong commitment to fullness of life and his desire to serve his Lord.

Arch was active in the life of the Annual Conference. He was much involved with the Conference Camping Ministry. For many years he and Warren Covell directed older elementary camps at Casowasco. He once chaired the Central New York Conference Board of Pensions and often coordinated the ordination service for the Board of Ministry Beverly was very much a partner in Arch's ministry. She was good at it, having been raised in a parsonage.

Their marriage produced two children, Stephen Day Archer and Amy Elizabeth Caccia. Grandchildren are Jessica (Kevin) Guy, Amanda Archer, and Emma and Anna Caccia Over his years of ministries, Arch acquired many lasting friendships amongst his colleagues and his parishioners. People were drawn to this devout and self-giving man who in his caring, quiet way, exemplified what it means to be a Christian gentleman. He kept his life in harmony with the words of Dag

While stationed near Montreal with the Royal Canadian Air Force, he met the love of his life, Barbara Wallace.

Rev. Dr. Gurney O. Gutekunst Rev. Dr. Gurney O. Gutekunst, Jr., 96, of Queensbury, NY died on Jan. 10, 2021, at Glens Falls Hospital, from Covid-19.

Gurney was born in Buffalo, NY, on Oct. 27, 1924 and grew up in Detroit, MI. After graduating from high school in 1942, he enlisted in the Army and undertook an accelerated program of study in chemistry at the University of Michigan, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in two and a half years. He then was assigned to a team of chemists working on atomic energy for the Manhattan Project, rising to the position of Team Leader in Dayton, Ohio.

Though his interest in science continued throughout his life, Gurney’s greatest passions were of the spirit.

After receiving an M.A. in humanities at the University of Michigan, he enrolled in Union Theological Seminary in NY, where he received an M.A. in Theology. He continued his studies in theology at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Cambridge, writing his Ph.D. thesis on John Milton.

In 1959, Gurney became pastor of the United Methodist Church in Rowayton, CT, before moving to Amityville, NY in 1964. He then became the Senior Pastor at Christ Church in Glens Falls in 1967. After leaving Christ Church in 1976, he taught creative writing at North Country Community College. He returned to the ministry in 1983, serving as pastor at the Hartford Yoked Parish and North Granville Congregational Church for 18 years. After his retirement, Gurney was honored to be called upon as a guest preacher throughout the North Country, from Hudson Falls to Warrensburg.

While known for his illuminating and inspiring Sunday messages, for Gurney, faith was never confined to a book or a building. He found great joy and meaning in nature and music, passions that he passed on to his children and grandchildren. In high school and college, he played piano in dance bands and throughout his life enjoyed performing jazz standards with an enthusiastic band of family members.

Family was central to Gurney’s life. With Dottie, his beloved wife of sixty-four years, he organized frequent family times. These included hikes in the Adirondacks, fishing and boating on Lake Chautauqua, skiing at Whiteface, canoe camping in Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada, and reading aloud books ranging from Winnie the Pooh to The Odyssey. The family bond continued throughout the years, with regular reunions at the family farmhouse in Western New York.

Gurney’s curiosity and zest for life remained boundless until the end. Even in later years, he found joy and contentment in reading spiritual, literary, and scientific texts and listening to and playing music. Those fingers at the keyboard are now stilled, but Gurney’s passion and joyful music will live on in parishioners, students, friends, and of course, his children, grandchildren, and extended family.

Beloved and devoted husband of Dorothy; son of Gurney and Clara Gutekunst; father of Ann Valanzuolo of Longview, WA, David Gutekunst of Marina Del Rey, CA, and Claire Perlman Gutekunst and her husband Arthur Perlman of Yonkers, NY; grandfather of Kristin and Devon Gutekunst, Brian Valanzuolo and Jason and Jeremy Gutekunst Perlman; brother of Erath Matheson; uncle of many nieces and nephews; and friend and companion to his devoted dog, Pal. Interment will take place at a later date in Arlington National Cemetery.

Rev. Lynn Bradley Havens Rev. Lynn Bradley Haven’s time on earth ended on Dec. 26, 2020, at the age of 101. He had been maintaining a self-sustained lifestyle in assisted living at Beatitudes Campus in Phoenix, AZ until acute health challenges surfaced. After two months of medical and physical struggles, his life ended while under hospice care.

How do you distill over a century of life into a few paragraphs? Born in Binghamton, NY to the Rev. Reeves and Helen Havens, Brad was the second of three sons. His two brothers, Reeves Jr. and Robert preceded him in passing. Brad, his father, and both his brothers were ordained ministers in the Methodist Church. Brad’s humble depression-era childhood played out in small, rural northern Pennsylvania coal towns. He had stories of picking up coal which had fallen from mine carts to heat the family home.

His father’s ministry would eventually bring the family back to the Binghamton, NY area where he lived through his high school years. Brad remembers feeling a call to the ministry when he was 7 years old, delivering his first sermon at his father’s church while still in high school.

He graduated from Union-Endicott HS, Endicott, NY in 1937. His schooling continued at Asbury College in KY where he met and married June.

As an undergraduate student at Asbury College, Brad pastored several small rural churches. He then went on to Drew Theological Seminary in Madison, NJ where he received a Divinity Degree. He was ordained into the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1944, receiving assignments to several small rural churches in Pa. In 1952 he joined a university seminar group for a fact-finding journey to Europe after the war, which included visits to London, Berlin, and Yugoslavia. He gave many lectures to community groups and church study groups about his experiences. Over nearly 40 years of ministry, he pastored several large urban churches in Dunmore, Pa., Binghamton, NY, and Endicott, NY, within the Wyoming Conference of the United Methodist Church.

He was a talented and inspiring speaker, growing congregations and developing music ministries wherever he served. He loved music, playing the alto saxophone in a jazz band in college. He especially liked to listen to classical and choral music. He was a voracious reader, devouring hundreds of books on the Bible, religions, music, theology, psychology, history, and philosophy. He had a special love of The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid. He always had a way of bringing Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato into a conversation.

Early family memories include summer camping trips to National Parks and spending several weeks in the summer at the Methodist community of Ocean Grove, NJ where Brad taught weekly seminars. Favorite Christmas memories include living nativity enactments at the parsonage, complete with donkey and sheep. The family was always involved in the church choirs and special events. Music, including singing Christmas carols together, is another treasured family memory.

Retiring in the early 1980s, Brad and June moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1983 to be near three of their children who lived in the area. In 1985, Brad began serving several years as an assistant pastor at First United Methodist Church in Sun City, AZ. Brad was an avid hunter and fisherman, and his love of the outdoors

234

was a lifelong passion. He and June spent the summers in Show Low, AZ where they would take long backroad trips in their RV, sightseeing and camping all around Arizona and Colorado.

Brad lost his beautiful wife June in 2008 after 66 years of marriage. He is survived by his four children; Claudia Kennedy (Alan deceased May 2020), Pamela Havens (Robert Perry), Lynn Havens (Pamela) and Janine Hoffman (Patrick). Brad also leaves four grandchildren; Kathryn Lask, Scott Kennedy, Jonathan Havens, Alicia Havens and six great-grandchildren; Megan, Nicholas and Matthew Lask, Jameson and Hudson Kennedy and Arden June King. the gravesite. A family-only interment service will be held at the gravesite.

Rev. Dr. Milton Tennyson Jefferson Milton Tennyson Jefferson was born in Spokane, WA, of parents from New Hampshire and Texas with shared lineage to President Thomas Jefferson. His first years were spent living in various western states with his federal government-employed father. The family was pleased when his father was assigned Chief of Postal Inspection for New England and they purchased a home in Reading, MA and added a sister to the family.

Milton's school age years had three emphases: home, school and church. In his early years he accepted Jesus Christ and spent much time in church activities. He learned the art of hobby letterpress printing which he enjoyed throughout his life.

He quickly developed leadership qualities and his Boston University Yearbook said he would be "governor". However, he felt the "call to Christian ministry" and after school of management he entered Boston University School of Theology. He married Shirley Williams in June of 1952 and together they shared the seminary experience.

Part-time work in the United Methodist Church of Reading, MA equipped him for the practical side of ministry. The Central New York (CNY) Conference of the United Methodist Church welcomed him and appointed him to Trumansburg, NY to begin his fulfilling full-time professional career. The church grew in numbers and expanded physically during his busy four years, through ministry to foreign students, mission awareness, and reactivating members.

Sodus, his second appointment, made building a larger building necessary to meet the needs of a growing congregation. He continued his commitment to foreign college students, enhanced ministry to migrant workers and established a ministry to the handicapped. Sent by the Rotary Club as their representative on a People-to-People Mission to Eastern Europe and the then-Soviet Union, he said the experience changed his life.

Liverpool, Milton's third appointment, was in an area with much potential and challenge, where he found opportunity everywhere to stretch his capabilities. The church mortgage he inherited was retired, surrounding properties were purchased, a new parsonage was purchased, an endowment fund was expanded, missionaries to Africa and South America were supported, and inner-city ministry in Syracuse, NY was shared. Church membership grew so rapidly that assimilating new members was a constant concern necessitating ongoing leadership development of the congregation. Milton was chosen by his Bishop to be part of an evangelistic team from the General Board of Evangelism to Mexico where he was honored for his efforts with baptisms of Christians. Throughout his ministry he served on community boards wherever he resided and was recognized by the community of Liverpool for his service to his church and community.

CNY Conference (later North Central and Upper NY Conference) benefited from his leadership in their Pension Committee, World Service and Finance (where he served as Chairman) and Archives & History Commission. He was the Conference Statistician and an elected delegate to the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference (NEJ) of the church. He held district leadership in each of the districts he served.

Rev. Dr. Milton T. Jefferson retired from active ministry July 1, 1989 and later the Liverpool Church honored him with the designation "Pastor Emeritus", an honor he cherished.

Virginia (Ginny) Magee Virginia (Ginny) Magee embraced the glory of Heaven, in the company of her Lord and Savior on Dec. 15, 2019, while surrounded by her family at the Presbyterian Home in New Hartford.

One of four children, Ginny was born in Hackensack, NJ, to Mildred and Walter Pitt, on Feb. 22, 1926. At the age of seven, her family relocated to East Rockaway on Long Island, where she graduated from East Rockaway High School in 1945. Following her graduation, Ginny was employed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in New York City.

On Nov. 20, 1948, she was united in marriage to Rev. Morton A. Magee at Bethany Church on Long Island.

They were blessed to share in this covenant union for 54 years, until his passing in 2003. In 1956, Mort's job in construction brought them to Central NY. He felt the Lord calling him into the ministry in 1959, so with three young children, the family entered the Lord's service. Their first charges were at the South Ilion, North Columbia and Columbia Center Methodist churches outside of Ilion. Ginny's passion for serving her Savior and supporting her husband in his ministry made her a good fit for the role of a pastor's wife. She and Mort served well together and as part of her supportive role, she taught Sunday School, sang in the church choir, worked at times as the church secretary and made routine visits to shut-ins with her husband to hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes. Where you saw one, you would often see the other as they shared a love for all the people the Lord brought across their path. In addition to the churches early on in their ministry, they also served parishes in Vernon and Windsorville, CT, Remsen, Prospect, Dexter, Brownville, Chadwicks, Sauquoit, Watertown, and Vienna - all in upstate NY. Gifted with gentle hands and a warm heart, Ginny worked part-time as a nurse's aide at various nursing homes in the communities where they had resided. She looked forward to going to work and cherished this role as an opportunity to offer help and comfort to those in her care. Her love for her residents was evident by all the little "extras" she would do to make their days easier. She left her touch on the hearts of the residents she cared for at the Vernon Haven Convalescent Home in CT, the Sunset Home and Faxton-Sunset St. Luke's Home in Utica and the Samaritan Keep Home in Watertown.

An especially sweet mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she will long be remembered for her gentle and kind spirit, her shining smile and her humble heart. She never longed for any recognition but went about her day-to-day routine out of the spotlight, content to live a faithful life of love as a reflection of her Savior. Ginny always saw the good in everybody and embraced life with the belief she was living in the center of God's will. Because of that, one would never hear her complain about anyone or anything, even in her later years when the journey became more difficult and challenging.

Rev. S. Thom Scholten The Rev. S. Thom Scholten, 86, died peacefully at Daughters of Sarah Nursing Home in the early morning hours of Sunday Aug. 11, 2019, surrounded by his three children who had been celebrating his birthday with him. Thom was the youngest of six children born to the Reverend Walter A. and Frances (Thoms) Scholten on Aug. 10, 1933 in Morrisville, New Jersey.

He attended a one room schoolhouse for much of grade school in Mountain Lakes, NJ, and described it as a happy time. The family moved to New York and Thom attended Arlington High School in Lagrangeville, NY. He was a Boy Scout and was on the high school track team before graduating in 1950. Thom went to Hope College in Holland, MI, as his parents had before him, where he studied History and Political Science; he graduated in 1954. Answering the call to

260

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VII. Memoirs

ministry, he studied at the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, earning his M. Div. Degree in 1957. While at college and seminary, Thom befriended several other students who would become lifelong friends; they collectively referred to themselves as “The Troops”.

Following his studies, he was called to the Pompton Plains Reformed Church in NJ. He enjoyed many meals cooked by the church ladies there, who worried about his ability to feed himself. Soon after starting at his next church, the Bradley Gardens Reformed Church, he met his future bride on Sept. 3, 1961, who immediately declared to her best friend that she had met her future husband. Wilma Fristensky and Thom were married on July 28, 1962. While in Bradley Gardens, Thom helped oversee the building of the new church, which still stands today. On Sept. 1, 1965 they moved to Keyport, NJ, where Thom would serve the Keyport Reformed Church for seventeen years. In 1983 he relocated to Upstate NY. He worked for a time at the Silver Bay YMCA and substituted at the Kingsbury Baptist Church in Kingsbury, NY. He became affiliated with the United Methodist Church and served the yoked congregations of Northville and Edinburg, where he served from 1984-1989. From there, he went to Middleburgh, NY, where he served the Middleburgh Methodist Church and Fultonham Union Church from September 1989 until June 1992.

He ended his career serving the Fort Ann and West Fort Ann Methodist churches from 1992-1996, when he retired to Hudson Falls, NY. He had many good years in Hudson Falls, despite some intermittent health crises. Ultimately, he moved to Albany, NY, in June 2018 to be closer to his children.

Throughout his life and career, Thom was an advocate for social justice. He was a member of the NAACP in the early 1960’s and was present on the mall in Washington, DC with many clergy to hear Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech. He was also involved in ecumenical causes throughout his ministry. On more than one occasion, he offered our own couch as a bed for whoever might be passing through town and need a place to lay his head for the night. He enjoyed following politics, never shy about expressing his displeasure with the actions of the government. Thom collected different things over the years (stamps, coins, tin toys) and enjoyed reading immensely, mostly church history, the New York Times and comic books from his childhood. He deeply enjoyed listening to classical music. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family, especially on summer vacations in the family’s cottage at Sabbath Day Point. Those long summer evenings of reading, or playing cards or board games with his family, or entertaining the Troops on the porch, with the crickets singing in the background, are what sustained him.

Ossie had many hobbies including painting, photography, and traveling (Outer Banks, NC-SC-and TX).

Osceola won awards for his oil painting. Rev. Wharton loved cooking and trying new recipes, often taking meals to friends and those in need. His sense of civic duty was also evident in his affiliation with the Lions Club and Masonic brotherhood.

Osceola's professional career was varied; although he always worked in service to others. Ossie was employed as a social worker, spent time as a District Executive with the Boy Scouts of America, and was an agent for Nationwide Insurance Company and Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company. Later in life, Ossie decided to go back to school. Rev. Wharton earned a master’s degree from Colgate School of Ministry in Rochester in 1987. He then began his ministry within the United Methodist Church. Ossie served 2 years in Rochester; 11 years at the United Methodist Churches of Andover and Greenwood; and in 1997 moved to Wayland to become the Pastor of the Wayland United Methodist Church. In 2004, Ossie received the Harry Denman Evangelism Award, honoring United Methodists who bring people into a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. Over Ossie's pastoral years, he became a pillar of the community and friend/colleague to thousands. Reverend Osceola Wharton leaves an exemplary legacy of kindness, caring, and stewardship. His smile, his faith, and words of comfort will be dearly missed by all he has touched.

While raising two sons, Jefferson and Jonathan, Nancy worked as a reading specialist in the Perry Elementary School. She also helped with a religious arts class for children on Sunday mornings at the Perry United Methodist Church.

For 17 years, she gave book talks sponsored by the Perry Public Library to the children of Perry Elementary School. In later years, children who were now adults would meet her “on the street” and express appreciation for her book talks. She was also an advisor for the Perry High School yearbook.

Next, Nancy became the Spiritual Director/Chaplain of the Spiritual Life Volunteers, a program sponsored

by Catholic Charities, and served the patients and staff at the Wyoming County Community Hospital in Warsaw, NY for ten years. Nancy trained many volunteers from several churches to be Spiritual Life

Volunteers. This program touched the lives of hundreds of patients over the years and is a program that continues to this day.

A first love of Nancy had always been photography as well as her personal spiritual journey. After completing a two-year program sponsored by Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in spiritual direction, she combined her spiritual direction training and photography to develop a method that allows people to see God through their personal photography in God’s creation in nature. She shared this method by leading several retreats at Asbury Retreat Center and taught these workshops for the Silver Lake Experience sponsored by the Silver Lake Institute.

She also played the bass drum in the Perry Community Band, a drum set and tambourine in the Praise Band of the Geneseo United Methodist Church, which brought her and the congregation much joy. Her greatest joy over her later years was helping to babysit her grandchildren and attend their musical and sporting events.

Rev. Duk Joong Won It is with heavy hearts that we report the passing of the Rev. Dr. Duk Joong Won, who died of natural causes on July 14, 2020. Beloved husband to Insook, father to Amy and SunMie, and grandfather to Sophie and Ian. Duk Joong was 79 years old.

His life was a testament to the triumph of spirit, strength, and intelligence over adversity. Born in North Korea in 1940 he left home as a refugee of the Korean War and was separated from his mother, a story he recounted in his autobiography, Three Day Journey. His separation from his mother was also recounted in this documentary: http://legaciesofthekoreanwar.org/story/reverend-duk-joong-won/ Once in South Korea he worked hard to educate himself so that he could fulfill his dream of moving to America. The requirements to get a visa were stringent, both on the Korean side as well as the American side. But his hard work and faith prevailed, and he achieved his goal, coming to the USA in 1965 to study at the University of Maryland. In 1974 he earned his PhD in Economics.

Shortly after arriving in America, he was lucky to be reconnected with Insook Kim, who was studying music at the University of Miami. Despite the distance, their affection grew and in time they were married. They settled near Washington, DC where they raised two daughters.

At the time, the DC area did not have a large Korean population and there were few options to teach Korean American children about their background and Korean culture. Duk Joong helped found the Korean School of Washington to satisfy this need for his community's children.

Duk Joong oversaw a consulting firm, Applied Systems Institute, and pursued government and private sector contracts. Through his hard work and diligence, his firm’s business took off and became an early pioneer in smart card technology.

Although he was lucky to escape North Korea, he never forgot the family members he had left behind. As he grew older, the separation weighed on him and he decided to attempt the near-impossible task of visiting North Korea to reconnect with his family. Against the odds, he did manage to gain permission to visit and in 1990, after more than 40 years, he returned to the land of his birth. By then his mother had passed, but he was able to see his three sisters and their families.

274

2021 Upper New York Conference Journal Vol. II VII. Memoirs

The experience had a profound impact on Duk Joong and made him anxious to do more with his life.

Always a devout Christian, he chose to help people and serve God by entering seminary in Washington and then New York to train to become a minister.

Duk Joong and Insook moved to the small upstate NY towns of Savannah and Jordan, joining these communities as their minister, a rewarding and enriching experience for both pastor and congregation.

The Wons eventually retired to Rowland Heights and adopted the Los Angeles area as their home. In their new community, Duk Joong made many new friends through his church and his community of retired ministers. With the love and support of his family, he was able to live his final days with dignity and grace.

His loss will be felt by his family and the many lives he's touched over the years.

Donna Jean Young Donna Jean Young was born June 15, 1936 in California. As a child, she was adopted but later met her birth mother and sisters. She had six children, and was predeceased by two daughters, Vicki and Debbie. Her family gave her a great deal of credit as she went to college while her husband and six children were living on a Navajo reservation, visiting her family on weekends only.

In 1969, the family moved to NY where, as a teacher, she taught at Roeliff Jansen, Ichabod Crane, and for many years on the Onondaga Nation, near Syracuse, NY. She was part of an exchange with the New Zealand Maori teachers while working in Syracuse. When she retired, she went back to school in Kentucky at Asbury Theological Seminary and became a Methodist minister and eventually an Elder of the church. She pastored churches in upstate NY and eventually Montana.

She traveled to Russia, organized church trips to Israel, and spent time on a commune in India. Her seminary internship was in Cornwall, England. Mama Llama, as she was called, loved to travel. She wasn’t a snuggly, at baseball game kind of gramma, but she was absolutely without judgement, generous without a fault, and a 4 ft 11” tornado. Her second husband called her the bobcat. On Sunday of her first week at the hospital, she woke up briefly and wanted to let everyone of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to know that she loved them very, very much. I have many stories: funny, poignant, tragic, and inspirational. Her children have her legacy, their families, all of them. Thank you Momma.

She is survived by her children Lori Simpson, Kathy Downs, Pamela Ray and Danny Garvansites; 22 grandchildren.
