Bay of Quinte Conference Annual Meeting – May 23 – 25, 2014, Baltimore, Ontario
REPORTS, PART 1

and the Conference Assessment Board. She thanked those who were retiring.
The report continued with the introduction of this year’s candidate for ordination, Kim Falls.
Dorinda invited Kim to speak briefly to the Court.
MOTION 90TH.14.05
Dorinda Vollmer/Julie Bryson
“That Kim Falls be ordained to the Ministry of Word, Sacrament and Pastoral Care in the United
Church of Canada at the Annual Meeting of the Bay of Quinte Conference in Trinity United Church,
Cobourg, Ontario on May 25, 2014, all conditions of The Manual 2013 having been met.
The President announced that the ballots for this motion would be distributed at 2:15 p.m. today.
(The 4C report is found on page 71 of Volume 1.)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
A problem has occurred with the Wi-Fi hotspot and we were asked to unplug from it while the Business
Table reestablishes the connection.
GENERAL SECRETARY, NORA SANDERS
The President invited Nora Sanders to address the Court and she was introduced by the Executive
Secretary.
Nora began by thanking everyone for the invitation and saying she was honoured to be with us. She went
on to commend Bay of Quinte for exhibiting leadership in the church, especially in regard to the
Comprehensive Review Report, where our Conference had the highest return rate.
She called us to proclaim to the world that we are a church at work in the world. There is much potential
and possibility in the United Church of Canada.
Nora was thanked for her words and for her presence this weekend.
REPORTS, PART 2
(b) General Council Executive Representatives, John Young and Norma Thompson
Norma Thompson encouraged us to visit the United Church website from time to time. This year
has been challenging regarding the overall financial picture. In 2013, there was a break-even
situation in the General Fund and a modest surplus over all. However, across the country M & S
givings are declining, down $1 million in 2013, and $5 million has been taken out of the budget for
2014. Still, there is a need for fundamental financial restructuring.
John Young talked about the issue facing the Aboriginal Ministries Council – its’ relationship with
the United Church. They are now looking at how the denomination will address this.
8
Bay of Quinte Conference Annual Meeting – May 23 – 25, 2014, Baltimore, Ontario
The United Church has entered into a mutual recognition agreement with the United Church of
Christ in the U.S.A. and in the Philippines, as well as the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of
Korea. This is not a merger but rather an opportunity for ministers in these denominations to apply
for positions in the United Church of Canada and UCC ministers to apply for a position in these
denominations. Nora Sanders offered further insight into this process.
John expressed thanks to those who have attended the pre-GCE events that he and Norma have
held. It makes them better representatives of the Bay of Quinte.
In response to questions, John reported that the General Council is moving towards becoming an
Affirming Ministry. This poses challenges that are different from congregations in that it requires
office and support staff to also commit. Bruce Hutchinson is working with staff on this.
Norma Thompson reminded the Court that John’s term will end with GC 2015 when Judith
Evenden’s term will begin. Larry Doyle will be the alternate to Judith.
At this time, Bill Smith thanked Nora Sanders and presented her with a prayer shawl.
The report of the Representatives to General Council Executive is found on pages 27 to 29 of
Volume 1.)
(c) Finance Committee – Part 1 – 2013 Financial Statements
Bud Justice presented the 2013 Audited Financial Statements, which are in order. He noted that
$169,000. has been set aside for Transformational Ministry and these funds are available for use
within the Conference. He also reported that the Conference has over $1 million in total assets.
MOTION 90TH.14.06
Bud Justice/Don Willmer
“That the financial statements of the Bay of Quinte Conference for 2013 as audited by Welch and
Co. be accepted.” -- CARRIED
BREAK
A mid-morning break was taken at 10:25 a.m. with the Court reconvening at 10:45 a.m.
REPORTS – PART 3
(d) Finance Committee – Part 2 – Statement of Income and Expenses
A question was asked about the use of the surplus and assessments. Bud Justice reported that
some of the money has been placed in a GIC. He also noted that we are no longer being
assessed bank charges. Money will be transferred in order to reduce assessments by
approximately $20,000. It is hoped that we can draw on our surplus over the next few years to
keep assessments at their current level.
(Copies of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and Expenses, and other Financial Statements
are attached to these minutes as Appendix B. The Finance Report is found on pages 61 to 64 of
Volume 1.)

have since retired, but over 30 United Church ministers and others have participated in the
program during this time. On behalf of the Conference, Nancy offered thanks for their work. She
also thanked the Conference for supporting this work.
The SPE program will now be offered every second year with Kathy Edmunston as the new
director of the program. Kathy was then introduced to the Court.
Kathy reported she is excited about the program and her coming work in it. It is a partnership
offered by Bay of Quinte, the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care, Wooler United Church, and
Emmanuel College in Toronto. When it restarts in September, the program will take a maximum of
six students.

were shared at the tables, before the written ideas were brought forward to be placed as offerings in large
bowls, while everyone sang “Deep in our hearts”. A Prayer was given by Michelle Brotherton.
To finish, Karen asked everyone to visualize the room as it looked this morning when we stood in a huge

world. Michelle thanked Karen for creating so many moving moments this weekend, and presented her
with a prayer shawl.
