RE: 2012 Funding Plan for the Northern Illinois Annual Conference
Dear Mr. Chafin:
Attached is a copy of the funding plan for 2012 submitted for the portion of Supplement One to the Clergy
Retirement Security Program attributable to the Northern Illinois Annual Conference.
The total liability as of January 1, 2010, for 2012 is $51,791,804 based on the following key actuarial
assumptions:
!
!
!
!
7.0% interest
RP-2000 mortality table unprojected
Past service Rate (PSR) of $565 and
2% Past Service Rate future increases
In the opinion of The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of The United Methodist Church, the
attached funding plan meets the funding requirements of Paragraph 1506.8 of The Book of Discipline of The
United Methodist Church 2008. This opinion applies only to the attached funding plan.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Featherstone

CCFA Comment:
Action:
The Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits, partnering with the General Board of
Pensions and Health Benefits recommends the following policies for clergy health and pension
benefits for 2013:
I. Health Insurance
The Conference Board of Pensions recommends that the Annual Conference establish the
following policies and procedures for administration of the Conference Health Care Program,
effective January 1, 2013.
A. Mandatory Coverage
1. The following categories of employees are mandated to participate in the Annual Conference
health insurance program. In all cases, the spouses and dependents (such as children) of eligible
employees may enroll in the health plan at the election of the participant.
Category
Elder in full connection (including those from another Methodist
denomination and those from another conference) appointed to fulltime or service to a conference local church or campus ministry
Associate member appointed to full-time service
Provisional Members on elder track appointed to full-time local
church service
A full-time local pastor who is under Episcopal appointment to a
charge located in the conference
Ordained Elder appointed to extension ministries within the
connectional structure to a unit of the conference other than a
General Agency

2.
Every person serving in a capacity identified as mandatory above shall enroll in the
Northern Illinois Conference health plan. The Conference Board of Pensions may excuse a
participant in the mandatory coverage category, if there is coverage secured from another
source. In such cases, the Northern Illinois Conference will continue charging the salary
paying unit for premiums.
3.
Spouses and dependents of all participants in mandatory coverage categories are
encouraged to enroll in health insurance provided by the spouse’s employer, if available, in
addition to the annual conference plan. Spouses are no longer required to participate in the
health program. When possible participants and spouses in the health program shall be
enrolled in a Medicare Primary status.
4.
The General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits (Healthflex program) now
requires mandatory payment of rates for the entire population of several categories of
116

persons in order to avoid a 15% surcharge on rates for all enrolled persons. The General
Board of Pensions and Health Benefits (Healthflex program) will require the annual
conference to pay for each full-time elder, associate member, provisional member, and fulltime local pastor appointed to the conference or a conference local church, even if they are
not enrolled in the program.

available to and will be billed for all persons within any specific category employed with the
agency or local church.
4.
Each salary paying unit must execute annually a sub-adoption agreement with the
annual conference, should they desire to offer health coverage to persons in these categories.
C. Other Eligibility
1. These categories of persons are also eligible for coverage :

Board of Pensions) 75%
Divorced spouse enrolled in the plan at time of divorce for Divorced Spouse
2 years or in accordance with State and Federal law or
court order
D. Retirement Administration
1. Clergy persons eligible for health benefits, as itemized in Sections A and B, enrolled in
the health plan at Mandatory Retirement (Discipline paragraph 358.1), Early Retirement
(Discipline paragraph 358.2b), Full Retirement (Discipline Paragraph 358.2c), or
Involuntary Retirement (Discipline paragraph 358.3) and persons eligible for health
benefits as itemized in Section C are eligible for health coverage in retirement through
the conference plan. No clergy member retiring under the “20 year rule” (Discipline
paragraph 358.2a) is eligible for retiree health coverage.
2. A clergy person (or surviving spouse after death of an active member) enrolled in the
health plan 5 consecutive years before retirement or enrolled when first eligible for
coverage (and prior to participant’s retirement) is eligible for coverage after retirement.
The family status of the participant cannot change during retirement, except in cases of
adoption or childbirth. Participants electing to not participate in retirement health plan
at time of retirement may not elect to enroll at a later time.
3. Upon retirement the annual conference shall establish a Health Reimbursement Account
(HRA) for the household in the retiree’s name. Participants and their spouses may use
the funds in the HRA to pay for medical expenses including premiums, co-pays,
deductibles, dental services, medical services, coinsurance, etc. Like a savings account,
the funds do not need to be expended by the end of the calendar year and balances roll
forward when unused.
4. Annually, the annual conference shall deposit into each retiree’s HRA an amount equal to
$100 per year of ministerial service. An additional amount of $100 per year of service
shall be deposited into the HRA account during the retired participant’s spouse’s
lifetime. A maximum of 40 years of service is applied to this calculation.
5. Ministerial service years are determined by the Conference Board of Pensions and Health
Benefits. Diaconal ministers who on 7/1/1997 became Deacons in Full Connection (at the
start of that clergy classification) will have their years as a Diaconal Minister added to
their GBOP service years for the purpose of determining retiree health contribution rates.

retirement and eligible for health coverage in retirement will have a contribution equal to
$100 per year of service to the annual conference deposited in their HRA annually. Local
church and other lay employees are not eligible for the conference program in retirement,
but may be eligible for an HRA contribution administered by the local church or salary
paying unit.
7. Enrollment and contribution schedules are established each year by the Annual
Conference. The Northern Illinois Conference makes no promise of future contributions.
This resolution establishes rates for 2013 only. Retirees and active members of the plan
shall not rely on prior or present benefit offerings as a commitment for the future. The
annual conference, at its discretion, may eliminate funding of health insurance to retired
persons.
8. The Conference Board of Pensions and Health Benefits engages Extend Health to aid
retirees aged 65 and above in selection of suitable Medicare supplement coverage and to
act as patient advocate when necessary.
E. Active Administration
1. Monthly premiums are billed to each charge or salary-paying unit at rates established by
the Conference Board of Pensions. Premiums are due the first of each month. Accounts
90 days in arrears are subject to termination. Notification of accounts in arrears will be
provided to the District Superintendent, the pastor, the local church PPRC chair, and the
local church treasurer prior to termination.
2. Active participants seeking to enroll in the Flexible Spending Account Benefit provided
by the plan must enroll in November of the year preceding the year of the agreement.
3. Inquiries on billings and enrollment should be directed to the Conference Benefits
Administrator, Shirley Burkhart, at (312) 346-9766, ext. 120.

d. to Incapacity leave with CPP benefits
3. In order to waive participation, a mandatory clergy member must sign a waiver form at
time of appointment. Please note that persons assigned, but not appointed are not eligible in
the program.
B. Clergy Retirement Security Program Billing Schedule
Local Churches shall be billed by the Annual Conference at the following rates (“plan
compensation” means Section 425 compensation as defined by the IRS and pension plan
documents):
1. Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP)
The Comprehensive Protection Plan is the primary death and disability benefit for enrolled
clergy. Eligibility in the CPP program continues in 2013 as it was in 2012. For 2013, the billing
rate for CPP will be 3% of plan compensation, up to 200% of Denominational Average
Compensation. Appointments with compensation at less than 60% of DAC are billed as special
arrangements; 3.4% for required participation and 4.4% optional participation. When funds
collected for CPP coverage exceed the costs to the annual conference of providing the program
the additional funds shall accrue to the Pensions Reserve to prepare for future defined benefit
contribution requirements.
2. CRSP – Defined Contribution
The CRSP pension program includes a defined contribution component. Each clergy member
will have an individual account at the General Board of Pensions. All contributions into the
account are invested and the enrolled clergy member receives the appreciated value of the
account upon retirement. For 2013, 3% of the plan compensation shall be required from each
charge for the defined contribution component of the CRSP.
3. CRSP – Defined Benefit program
With the defined benefit component, each enrolled clergy member will receive a monthly cash
benefit from the plan upon retirement. The amount of the benefit is determined by the number
of full-time-equivalent years in the program and the denominational average compensation at
the time of retirement. Annual contributions made by the conference will be invested by the
GBOPHB so that the NIC obligation can be met. For 2013, 10% of plan compensation is required
to meet conference retirement benefit obligations. A portion of defined benefit funding accrues
to a reserve fund for funding future variation in market results and other benefits to retirees and
future retirees.
C. Billing Methods
The Annual Conference will invoice local churches monthly the 16% (3% + 3% + 10%) required
for support of the CRSP and CPP programs.
D. Pre-82 Defined Benefit Past Service Rate for 2013
The Conference Board of Pensions recommends that the annual pension rate for service prior to
1982, effective January 1, 2013, be $582 per service year. This rate meets The Book of Discipline
requirement that the past service rate shall not be less than eight-tenths of one percent of 2013
Conference Average Compensation ($61,164). Surviving Spouses shall be supported at the rate
of 85% of participant pension benefit amounts.
E. Excludable Housing allowance for retired clergy

In accordance with the Private Ruling Letter from the Internal Revenue Service, the Northern
Illinois Conference Annual Conference Session reaffirms the limits to housing allowance
exclusion for retired and disabled clergy found in the Standing Rules, at Section IV. C. 1, which
states:
1.
“C. ADDITIONAL CLERGY PERSONNEL POLICIES
1. Excludable housing allowance for retired clergy and clergy on disability
a. The practice of The United Methodist Church is to provide a parsonage or rental
allowance for each of its active ordained or local clergy.
b. Pensions paid to retired ordained or local pastors of The United Methodist Church
are considered as deferred compensation and are paid to said retired ordained or
local pastors in consideration of previous active service, and disability benefits are
considered payments in lieu of compensation for active service.
c. The Internal Revenue Service has recognized that the Northern Illinois Conference
is the appropriate organization to designate a housing/rental allowance for retired
ordained or local pastors who are members of this Conference.
d. Disabled clergy have the same legal relationship to an Annual Conference as do the
retired clergy and, thus, this Conference is also the appropriate organization to
designate a housing/rental allowance for disabled ordained or local pastors who are
members of this Conference.
e. An amount equal to 100% of the pension payments received by a retired clergy, or
100% of the disability payments received by a disabled clergy, is designated as
rental/housing allowance respectively for each retired or disabled ordained or local
pastor of The United Methodist Church who is or was a member of the Northern
Illinois Conference at the time of retirement or disability.
f. The pension or disability payment in which this rental/housing allowance applies
shall be the pension or disability payment resulting from all service of such retired
or disabled ordained or local pastor from all employment by any local church,
Annual Conference, General Agency or institution of The United Methodist
Church or of any former denomination that is now a part of The United Methodist
Church, or from any other employer who employed the clergy to perform services
related to the ministry and who elected to make contributions to the pension or
benefit funds of The United Methodist Church for such retired minister's pensions
or disabled minister's benefits.
g. The rental/housing allowance which may be excluded from a clergy's gross income
is limited to the lesser of
(1) The amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the clergy's
employer or other appropriate body
(2) The amount actually expended by the clergy to provide his or her housing, or
(3) The legally determined fair rental value of the parsonage or other housing
provided.
As specified in Rev. Rul. 71-200, 1971 C. B. 92, "the only amount that will qualify for
exclusion under Section 107 (2) of the Code as a 'rental allowance' is an amount
equal to the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances
such as a garage plus the cost of utilities."

F. Special Grants
1 The Conference Board of Pensions also recommends that a special grant be made to Vidal
Cordova, for his three (3) years of service with this Annual Conference. We recommend
for the year commencing July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013, a grant of $237 per year payable
monthly at $19.75.
2 The Conference Board of Pensions also recommends the special grant previously given to
Vernon L. Bell be continued for his widow, Enid. Mr. Bell died March 17, 1995. He served
11 years as a full member of the Northern Illinois Conference from June 13, 1954, to
August 15, 1965. He took voluntary Leave of Absence from 1965 and Honorable Location
in 1966. The service rate at the time of his voluntary location was $77. Thus, we
recommend for the year commencing July 1, 2012, to June 30 2013, a grant be paid to Mrs.
Bell of $847, actuarially reduced in the same manner as if this grant was paid under the
Methodist Ministers Reserve Pension Fund for payments commencing after early
retirement date and prior to normal retirement date. Payments shall be paid monthly.
3 The Conference Board of Pensions also recommends that a special grant be made to
James W. French for his 3.5 years of service with this Annual Conference from June 1,
1978 through December 31, 1981. We recommend for the year commencing July 1, 2012 to
June 30, 2013, a grant of $140.95 monthly be paid based on the present pension rate, but
actuarially reduced since payments are starting prior to full retirement age.
III. Group Life Insurance
The Conference Board of Pensions enrolls in the UMLife program. Every eligible retired clergy
person will be enrolled in the plan with a benefit of $5,000 at no cost to the participant. Active
clergy persons have $10,000 in coverage at the NIC expense when an application is filed during
the open enrollment period. Coverage beyond this amount is at the cost of the participant and
will be billed directly from UMLife.

Second, the Commission recommends that local churches provide in their budgets a

education and other cost incurred in the course of providing pastoral ministry.
RATIONALE
The Commission on Equitable Compensation has diligently worked this year to consider
the financial need of the clergy and churches while creating this ECC Schedule. Due to
the continued depressed economic conditions and increase in education expense & the
cost of living, we are recommending a 2% increase for starting full-time clergy and an
additional 1% increase for the 2nd and 3rd years. The commission looked at clergy and
teachers’ salary to justify this increase. FY 2010, FY 2011 and FY 2012 are provided to
assist the Annual Conference in making comparisons.

ACTION
The Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church will work and
advocate for state of Illinois and federal policies which include:
x
x
x
x
x
x
x
Supporting the passage of the National Criminal Justice Commission Act which calls for
the creation of a bipartisan Commission to review and identify effective criminal justice
policies and make recommendations for reform.
Ending mass incarceration by developing a fair criminal justice system based on
restorative justice principles
Calling for fair and non-discriminatory sentencing and practices that do not target
certain racial or ethnic groups
Calling for support of alternative forms of corrections and reentry programs that will
enable perpetrators and victims of crime (individuals, families, communities, and
society) as well as families of the incarcerated to be strengthened and local communities
safely restored.
The Northern Illinois Conference of The United Methodist Church will encourage and
mobilize congregations and individuals to:
Oppose the building of private prisons for profit, and the privatization of state run
prisons.
Engage in the study of the biblical basis of restorative justice, and discussions of how
individual congregations might engage in restorative justice ministries.
We call on the Conference Secretary to send this resolution to President Obama and all
state and congressional representatives from Illinois.
RATIONALE
The United Methodist Church's position on the criminal justice system is:
In the love of Christ, who came to save those who are lost and vulnerable, we urge
the creation of a genuinely new system for the care and restoration of victims, offenders, criminal justice
officials, and the community as a whole. Restorative justice grows out of biblical authority, which
emphasizes a right relationship with God, self and community. When such relationships are violated or
broken through crime, opportunities are created to make things right.

Social Principles, 164H
While the U.S. makes up only 5% of the world's population it confines 25% of the world's
incarcerated persons, with a total of 2.3 million incarcerated in the US today. This accounts for
a 600% increase in the past forty years. The US prison industry is one of the fastest growing
industries, spending over $60B on corrections.
Professor Michelle Alexander, author of "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the
Age of Colorblindness" statistically reveals that "More African Americans are under correctional
control today...than were enslaved in 1850" (before Emancipation Proclamation), due in major
part to drug related charges.
The General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of The United Methodist Church
recently added a sixth investment screen that would prohibit investment in companies that
derive more than 10% of revenue from the management and operation of prison facilities.
“Investments will not knowingly be made in any company/corporation in which 10% or more of
gross revenue is derived from the management or operation of federal, state, county, or
municipal correctional facilities (jails, prisons, penitentiaries, detention centers, prison camps,
transfer centers).”

Name: Continuation of the Partnership with Bolivia
Author: Rev. Orlando Moller
CCFA Comment:
ACTION
The Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church (NIC) approves the
continuation of the partnership between NIC and the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista en Bolivia
(IEMB) through the 2012-2016 quadrennium.
Furthermore, the NIC re-affirms the covenant it established with the IEMB in 2008 that would
include but not be limited to the following:
1. Leadership training and exchange of leadership
2. Volunteers in Mission (VIM) teams to help build and restore facilities with the IEMB
3. Medical teams to help reengage and support the health ministries that the IEMB has
developed in their proud history of being a social holiness movement
4. Social Justice issues to support the IEMB and its wonderful membership which stands at
70% indigenous
5. An ecumenical partnership with the Chicago Religious Leadership Network on Latin
America (CRLN) to promote the understanding of the change in Bolivia among the Northern
Illinois society at large.
Furthermore, the NIC further affirms Bolivia Partners as its body to coordinate all efforts
associated with the partnership between the NIC and IEMB for that 2012-2016
quadrennium. Bolivia Partners is accountable to and will report to the Program Council of the
NIC, in cooperation with the Bishop and the Office of Connectional Ministries.
RATIONALE
In 2008, the Northern Illinois Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (NIC) passed
a resolution affirming a partnership with the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista en Bolivia
(IEMB). This partnership agreement was renewed by the Episcopal leadership of Bolivia in 2010
and celebrated at the 2011 Northern Illinois Annual Conference. This partnership has flourished
under the guidance of the Bolivia Partners task force which was formed shortly after the
completion of the first NIC Volunteers in Mission (VIM) trip to Bolivia in February of 2009.
Membership in the Bolivia Partners was and remains open to all United Methodist within the
NIC who express interest. The goal of Bolivia Partners has been to bring to fruition the various
objectives as defined in the partnership agreement between the NIC and IEMB. This model of a
task force assembled specifically to implement objectives of a partnership has worked well as
demonstrated by the multitude of joint activities between the NIC and IEMB that have occurred
over the last three years.

CCFA Comment:
Action:
To celebrate the Centennial of Filipino Methodism in America, the Filipino American United
Methodist Ministry of Northern Illinois Conference (FAUMMNIC) hereby petitions the 2012
Northern Illinois Annual Conference Session for the following actions:
One worship service at the 2013 Annual Conference shall be dedicated to celebrate the
Centennial of Filipino Methodism in America;
Said service shall be organized by various Filipino elders and lay members of the Northern
Illinois Conference (NIC);
A combined choir from various Filipino churches in the NIC shall perform at said service to
showcase the Filipino UMC ministry in the US;
A short history of Filipino Methodism in the US and in the Illinois area shall be presented at said
service;
A special offering during said service at the 2013 Annual Conference shall be taken for Central
Conference Pension Initiative (CCPI) in support of retired Filipino clergy in the Philippines; and
The NIC shall encourage all of its congregations to recognize and to celebrate the Centennial of
Filipino Methodism in America in a worship service prior to the 2013 Annual Conference,
preferably during the month of May to commemorate Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.
Rationale:
The Filipinos are the second largest Asian American group in the US, behind only the Chinese.
We are referred to as the “Invisible Minority” due to our ability to assimilate quickly to the
American lifestyle, our capacity to contribute to the American economy, and our reluctance to
seek assistance from the welfare system. Over 90% of Filipinos graduate from high school and
over 50% graduate from college and beyond. We are mostly employed in the health care
industry as doctors, nurses, dentists, nursing aides and therapists, while the younger
generations can be found in the accounting and computer-related industries.
We seek representation and recognition within the United Methodist Church as a faithful
ethnic minority. We also deem it timely and appropriate that the United Methodist Church,
starting with the NIC, recognize the vital and vibrant contributions of the Filipino Americans to
the spiritual life of the church during its Centennial Celebration.

Name: Support for Raising the Minimum Wage in Illinois
Author(s): Rev. Dr. Norval I. Brown, Grace United Protestant & Thorton UMC; Rev. C. J.
Hawking, Exec. Dir. Arise Chicago; Laura Dean F. Friedrich, Deputy Director
Protestants for the Common Good
Section: Church & Society (Section 1)
CCFA Comment:
ACTION The Northern Illinois Conference endorses Raise Illinois, which is a legislative and
grassroots campaign to increase the minimum wage in Illinois from the current $8.25 an hour to
about $10.65 an hour by 2014 through small increases each year. In support of this proposal, the
Northern Illinois Conference encourages our churches to pay all church employees in the
Northern Illinois Conference a minimum of $10.65 per hour by 2014.
The Northern Illinois Conference encourage its local churches to collaborate with other
congregations, community groups, and/or advocacy organizations to learn about the concerns of
low-wage workers and participate in local and state initiatives to improve wages and working
conditions for low-wage employees.
The Northern Illinois Conference encourage local congregations to highlight
opportunities for their members to bring their faith to public and legislative discussions of
justice for low-wage workers.
RATIONALE
The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church acknowledge the dignity of all
workers and their right to earn a living wage. Scripture declares “the laborer deserves to be paid”
(I Timothy 5.18).
The current Illinois minimum wage of $8.25 an hour generates an annual income of
$16,500 for a worker who works a 40-hour week for 50 weeks, an amount very close to the
Federal Poverty Level for a family of four. Minimum wage workers often sacrifice time with their
children and other family members to work a second job in order to support their families
Research shows that raising the minimum wage will strengthen local economies as workers
spend their additional income on basic necessities in their communities, thereby generating new
jobs and assisting with overall economic recovery.

Title: Reauthorization of Hyatt Boycott Monitoring and Organizing Task Force
Authors: Rev. Teran E. Loeppke, Rev. Douglas Asbury, NIC Commission on Christian
Unity and Interreligious Concerns, NIC Board of Church and Society
Section: Church & Society (Section 1)
CCFA Comment:
ACTION
The Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church and all of its boards,
agencies, churches, etc., will:
Reaffirm our United Methodist commitment to supporting and advocating for the
human right to collective bargaining as document in Para. 163 of The Book of Discipline,
2008, especially in light of recent widespread state government attacks on collective
bargaining rights.
Reaffirm and support the 2011 decision within Judaism by The American Conference of
Cantors, to join the worker-led boycott of properties of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation,
excluding those that have successfully concluded contracts with the unions representing
their workers. 1
Continue formal support of the existing worker-led boycott of Hyatt hotels until just
settlements of the labor disputes are achieved.
Maintain and support the Monitoring & Organizing Committee comprised of clergy and
lay leaders as they keep our constituencies informed and advocate publicly for the
advancement of the boycott in coordination with UNITE HERE (the union of hospitality
workers) and other religious and community organizations. The Committee will
continue work to ensure that NIC representatives do not patronize the specific Hyatt
hotels under boycott across North America while travelling and will inform Hyatt
executives of our decision to remain part of the boycott. 2
RATIONALE
Though some progress has been made regarding worker compensation issues, the Hyatt Hotel
Corporation has continued to be resistant to meeting the most important demands of the
workers in terms of worker safety, job security, and workload and has at times employed threats
and coercion to badger workers into dropping the boycott. The Committee has been
instrumental, along with other religious groups and UNITE HERE, in raising public awareness
of the workers’ plight and has participated in a number of site visits to talk with workers about
conditions they face and experiences they have had as well as in demonstrations and visits or
attempted visits to meet with Hyatt officials. The Committee continues to serve as a resource

for local churches to host workers as speakers at various church events, so that people at the
local parish level can be made more fully aware of the realities of this struggle, and the resources

labor disputes between Hyatt Hotels Corporation and the workers are resolved.

Author(s): Daniel Diss, Chair of Daily Procedure
Section Assignment: Order (Section 5)
CCFA Comment:
ACTION
The Northern Illinois Annual Conference amends the Standing Rules of the Northern Illinois
Conference to include at I.D.4 to include at the appropriate place in the list found therein
(Journal 2011, page 184) the following legislative designation “800 Resolutions of Appreciation,
Celebration, and Recognition.”
Further, add to I.D a further item which shall be designated item 9 or whatever the next in order
paragraph number is, “The 400 and 800 series documents may be acted upon with a single block
vote during the opening plenary or other appropriate time during a plenary. The 800 series
documents may be given a time of recognition and celebration during a plenary session in order
to mark the event(s) being celebrated, recognized, or appreciated.”
RATIONALE
From time to time significant events such as a significant number of years of service to a
conference-related agency, the anniversary of a congregation, or the anniversary of a conferencerelated agency need to be marked and celebrated. Resolutions have been offered from time-totime to mark and recognize, by action of the annual conference, these type events. Adding this
category of legislative designation allows for these type resolutions to be bundled with other
like resolutions, helps them stand out as moments of recognition, celebration, and appreciation,
and allows the annual conference to act on them in such a manner which is an efficient and
effective use of time as well as celebratory for the milestone being marked. Further, we already
act upon all 400-series documents in this manner.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ABUSE
(Passed in Plenary, June 10, 1997)
WHEREAS, the 1996 Annual Conference charged the Bishop’s Task Force on Sexual
Harassment to bring a policy statement to the 1997 Annual Conference, which would
incorporate the actions of the 1996 General Conference;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following statement be adopted as the policy of
the Northern Illinois Conference:
The United Methodist Church of the Northern Illinois Conference stands in opposition to the
sins of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct and will not tolerate or
condone these behaviors. The Northern Illinois Conference bears affirmative covenant
responsibility to create an environment of hospitality for all persons, which is free of
harassment and encourages mutual respect, equality with one another and kinship in Christ.
Affiliation with The United Methodist Church (whether in positions of licensed,
commissioned, certified, consecrated, ordained or diaconal ministry, volunteer leadership, lay
ministry, or lay employment) not only implies, but also requires a high standard of behavior
consistent with the gospel. Every complaint of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual
misconduct shall be diligently pursued according to the 1996 Book of Discipline of The United
Methodist Church.
In this context the primary concern of the Northern Illinois Conference is the protection of
and care for all persons, as well as the achievement of justice and reconciliation of all parties
whenever possible. The Body of Christ is best healed when protection, justice, remedial
actions and reconciliation can occur.
The United Methodist Church has found sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual
misconduct within the ministerial relationship to be incompatible with biblical teachings of
hospitality, justice and healing, and took action at the 1996 General Conference to continue
the church’s efforts to eliminate sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct in
the denomination and its institutions.
134
DOCUMENT 703 – POLICIES 247
POLICIES
“All human beings, both male and female, are created in the image of God, and thus have been
made equal in Christ. From the beginning, God intended us to live out our equality in relation
with one another. Yet, in our human brokenness, we have given greater value and power to men
than to women. Jesus was sent into this world that we might experience whole relationships with
one another and with God. ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there
is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus’.” (Galations 3:28 RSV; The
Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church, Nashville, TN: The United Methodist
Publishing House, 1996, p. 481).
Sexual Harassment, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct are violations of an individual’s
integrity and of the covenant relationship intended by God. In the creation stories and in the
life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we affirm that we are created in the image and likeness
of God. To harass or abuse another person sexually is to deny that value. Sexual
harassment, sexual abuse or sexual misconduct within the ministerial relationship involves a
betrayal of sacred trust, a violation of the ministerial role and exploitation of those who are
vulnerable. Any expression of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual misconduct is a sin
against God and other persons.
There is no simple, all-inclusive definition of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual
misconduct. Often the definitions may overlap and a particular form of behavior may fall
within two or more of the prohibitions. Further, the following definitions are illustrative
guidelines and do not attempt to serve as definitive legal conclusions, to cover all possible
situations or to limit or preempt any subject matter ultimately governed by The Book of
Discipline or within the purview of the General Conference and the Judicial Council.
Sexual misconduct occurs when a person in a ministerial role of leadership engages in a
broad variety of sexual contacts or sexualized behaviors with a congregant, client, employee,
student, staff member, etc. (adult, teenager, or child) within the ministerial relationship.
Sexual misconduct includes sexual harassment, sexual abuse and any form of criminal sexual
conduct.
Sexual harassment may be defined, according to the 1996 Book of Resolutions, as an
“unwanted sexual advance or demand, either verbal or physical, that is perceived by the recipient
as demeaning, intimidating or coercive. Sexual harassment must be understood as an
exploitation of a power relationship rather than as an exclusively sexual issue.” Particularly
where there exists a differential in power and authority between the participants or special
vulnerability of the victim, sexual harassment may include the development or attempted
development of a sexual or romantic relationship between a person in a ministerial role of
leadership (pastor, educator, counselor, youth leader or other position of leadership) and a
person with whom he or she has a ministerial relationship, whether or not there is apparent
consent from the individual. The Book of Resolutions goes on to state that “sexual
harassment also includes the creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting
from discrimination on the basis of gender.” (The book of Resolutions of The United
Methodist Church, Nashville, TN: The United Methodist Publishing House, 1996, p. 482.)
Sexual abuse may be defined as a sexual invasion of the body and/or mind by force or other
coercive means. Sexual abuse may be rape, sexual assault, incest, indecent exposure,
statutory rape, involuntary or ostensibly voluntary sexual intercourse with a child, promotion
of prostitution, pornography with children, fondling, indecent assault, and aggravated
indecent assault. Sexual abuse is also an internal assault, a deliberate violation of emotional
integrity, a hostile, degrading act of violence. Sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship
occurs when a person in a ministerial role of leadership engages in sexual contact or
135
POLICIES
sexualized behavior with a congregant, client, employee, student, staff member, co-worker or
volunteer. It is an abuse of power through sexual harassment, sexual contact or sexual
activity in which the person violates the free choice or abuses the vulnerability of another
person for whom he or she is responsible (adult, teen or child), or allows or causes that person
to engage in sexual behavior.

HOUSING COVENANT
(Passed as amended in Plenary, June 7, 1999)
WHEREAS, the Clergy Compensation Task Force has been charged with the responsibility
of addressing issues related to equity in clergy compensation, and
WHEREAS, a study done by the Task Force revealed a great inconsistency in clergy housing
provisions and conditions, and
WHEREAS, the study also disclosed a lack of understanding of minimum housing standards,
as well as responsibilities for upkeep and maintenance,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following housing covenant be approved as a
document to be used annually by each church of the Northern Illinois Conference:
HOUSING COVENANT BETWEEN PASTOR ____________________________
AND __________________________________ UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS CONFERENCE
A parsonage is a dwelling place provided by the church for the use and occupancy of the
pastors of the United Methodist Church who may be entitled to occupy the same by
appointment every year. The justification of this option is that it is the backbone of our
denomination’s appointment system. The parsonage is to be mutually respected by the
ministerial family as the property of the church and by the congregation as the private home
of the ministerial family. The property is on loan. The pastor and family are entrusted with
the care of the home for the duration of the pastoral appointment. To be less than Christian
stewards of this “trust” decreases the effectiveness of the Christian ministry. The
Staff/Pastor Parish Relations Committee is the advocate for the parsonage family, and it is
their responsibility to see that this covenant is followed. The Board of Trustees has the
responsibility for the upkeep and general maintenance of the property, and it is responsible
for its renovations and good maintenance.
A housing allowance is another option for the pastor and the church if both parties and the
cabinet are in agreement. If a housing allowance is the option both parties choose, the
amount shall be in a reasonable arrangement reflecting the average housing in the
community and within an easy commute of the charge.
136
POLICIES
In this option, the pastor is the one who should take care of his/her property.
If a parsonage is provided, the parsonage family shall care for and maintain the property and
be financially responsible for damage done by pets, personal equipment or tools, and/or
family life-style except for the reasonable wear and tear. In addition, the following points are
made as means of clarification:
Any damage done by pets is considered more than normal wear and tear.
If life style choices such as smoking, pets, etc. affect the condition or health
environment of the parsonage, the pastor must pay for thorough,
professional cleaning prior to the new pastor’s arrival.
Good housekeeping is the responsibility of the pastor.
It is the responsibility of the Trustees to keep a record of the parsonage and its equipment. It
should include such things as a history of the parsonage, decorating and renovation dates,
electrical circuits, guarantees, date and place of purchases, repairs, upgrading, and whom to
call for service. It is the responsibility of both the pastor and the Trustees to keep these
records updated.
At the parsonage it is desirable to have a phone list for emergency service and
maintenance/operation manuals for parsonage appliances and equipment. Again, it is the
responsibility of both the pastor and the Trustees to keep these records updated. Before
emergencies occur, it is essential that the Staff/Pastor Parish Relations Committee, the
Trustees, and the pastor agree on who is to act when major problems happen. When
authority is granted, the responsible party can act. Therefore, the following guidelines are to
be used:
Emergencies that need to be dealt with on an immediate basis should be handled
according to the repair service list already approved by the Trustees.
Non-emergency items of concern and repair should be brought for consideration
or action to the Trustees at a regular or special meeting.
If unclear situations arise, the Book of Discipline and the latest Journal and Year Book of
Northern Illinois Conference will be referenced.
The parsonage is to be inspected at least annually and at the time of each change of pastors to
ascertain what items of routine maintenance and decorating need attention. The parsonage
committee or trustees should plan and work to see that reasonable amounts are included in
each annual budget to attend to these matters. An Annual Local Church Parsonage Report is
to be made every year at the charge conference and submitted to the district superintendent.
The Trustees are responsible for insuring the basic parsonage structure and church owned
contents for fire, earthquake, accident, weather conditions, flood and other external causes.
The pastor shall maintain a renter’s insurance policy for personal liability, property liability,
personal property, theft and other actions consistent with the form of insurance. To the
extent possible these policies should be coordinated through the individual broker and/or
insurance company.
The following chart shows the standard parsonage equipment which churches are expected to
furnish (Standing Rule IV-B-3 of Journal and Year Book.) Pastor may waive items to be

LOCAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH BASIC POLICY
STATEMENT ON SEXUAL AND GENDER HARASSMENT AND
MISCONDUCT OF A SEXUAL NATURE
(Passed in Plenary, Second Consent Calendar, Friday evening, June 7, 2002)
WHEREAS, it is both the ethical and legal responsibility of the individual church to ensure
that there are mechanisms for addressing grievances in matters of sexual misconduct by both
laity and/or clergy.
WHEREAS, misconduct of a sexual nature within the life of the Church is incompatible with
biblical teachings of hospitality, justice, and healing.
WHEREAS, the Church needs to be a place where one is respected and free from any
misconduct of sexual nature.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following statement be adopted as the Sample
local United Methodist Church Policy on Misconduct of a Sexual Nature.
The _____________ United Methodist Church affirms The 2000 Book of Resolutions, Sexual
Abuse Within the Ministerial Relationship and Sexual Harassment Within the Church, which
states that sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship and sexual harassment within the
church are incompatible with biblical teachings of hospitality, justice and healing. The 2000
Book of Discipline, Par. 2702.3, also recognizes that sexual misconduct and sexual harassment
may constitute chargeable offenses by lay persons as well. In accordance with The 2000 Book
of Discipline, 161F, all human beings, both male and female, are created in the image of God,
and thus have been made equal in Christ. As the promise of Galatians 3:26-29 states, all are
one in Christ, we support equity among all persons without regard to ethnicity, situation, or
gender.
Sexual misconduct, including sexual abuse and sexual harassment, occurs when a person
within a ministerial role of leadership or authority, including pastor, educator, counselor,
youth leader, lay member or other position of leadership engages in sexual contact or
sexualized behavior with a congregant, pastor, client, employee, student, staff member, coworker or volunteer.
139
POLICIES
Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual advance or demand, either verbal or physical, that
is reasonably perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating, or coercive. Sexual
harassment includes, but is not limited to, the creation of a hostile or abusive working
environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender (Book of Discipline 1611). It
also includes intimidating or coercive behavior that threatens or results in a tangible
employment action.
Gender harassment is behavior that is harassing in nature against a woman because she is a
woman or against a man because he is a man.
Sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship involves a betrayal of sacred trust, a violation
of the ministerial role and exploitation of those who are vulnerable. This may also be the case
with laity having leadership roles invested with authority or influence. Similarly, sexual and
gender harassment are usually understood as exploitation of power relationships rather than
as exclusively sexual or gender issues.
Sexual and gender harassment, sexual abuse and misconduct of a sexual nature within the life
of the Church interfere with its moral mission. __________ United Methodist Church
prohibits and will not tolerate these behaviors, which are sinful, demeaning, abusive and
wrong, and commits itself to fair and expedient investigation of any complaint of sexual and
gender harassment, sexual abuse or misconduct of a sexual nature within the church and to
take action deemed appropriate and in compliance with the Book of Discipline. Further, the
__________ United Methodist Church bears affirmative responsibility to create an
environment of hospitality for all persons, male or female, which is free of these sins and
encourages respect, equality and kinship in Christ.
Some instances of harassment can be resolved informally by conversation between the parties
or facilitated mediation. In all other instances, the conduct must be reported immediately to
at least one of these people: the chair or another member of the Pastor Parish Relations
Committee, the pastor, another UMC pastor, a district superintendent, or the Bishop. If the
conduct involves a clergy person, it must be reported to the clergy person's supervisor,
district superintendent or the Bishop. Furthermore, the provisions of Paragraph 359, 413 and
Paragraphs 2701-2706 of the Book of Discipline (2000) shall determine the procedure. In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Book of Discipline and this Policy, the
former shall govern.
The __________ United Methodist Church will not retaliate against any person who brings
forward a complaint. All staff, leaders and volunteers are expected to immediately report any
knowledge of harassment, abuse or misconduct to anyone of the persons listed above. Prompt
and appropriate investigation and corrective action will be taken, including discipline.
Persons who make false accusations will be subject to discipline.
While the United Methodist Church cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality, it will make
every reasonable effort to maintain confidentiality by disclosing information about the
complaint only on a "need to know" basis and as necessary to promote God's call for justice,
reconciliation and healing.
Anyone who has any questions or concerns about this policy or the issues addressed is
encouraged to air those questions or concerns to the PPRC or _________________.

703-05 RACIAL HARASSMENT
(Passed as amended in Plenary, Saturday, November 15, 2003)
WHEREAS, harassment (for example race, color, national, cultural or ethnic origin) results
in loss of self-esteem for the victim, and is a violation and breakdown in the sense of
community within the church; and
WHEREAS, racial harassment is both a moral and ethical concern and illegal under state
and federal law; and
WHEREAS, under our United Methodist Discipline, racial harassment is also a chargeable
offense for both clergy and laity; and
WHEREAS, the policy and the procedures which follow are intended to insure that the
churches and other agencies of the Northern Illinois Annual Conference of the United
Methodist Church have a clear understanding of the definition of racial harassment and of
the fact that racial harassment, as well as other forms of harassment, are not permitted
among us.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following statement be adopted as the Basic
Policy of the Northern Illinois Conference on Racial Harassment, including the additional
advisory procedures designed to improve our ability to respond effectively to complaints of
this nature.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance to laity, clergy, and lay employees of the
Northern Illinois Annual Conference for the prevention and remediation of racial
harassment. The existence of a policy, including procedures for complaints, will act as a
deterrent to inappropriate behavior.
THEOLOGICAL BASIS
“The first two chapters of the Book of Genesis describe the ‘creative genius of God.’ Psalm
24 ‘reaffirms the relationship between God and all of God’s creatures and the divinity of
God.’ Yet, in spite of humanity’s common legacy as God’s descendants, we have consistently
established differences among God’s children because of race . . . [engaging] in verbal
exchanges and behavioral demonstrations which have rejected the sacredness of all persons.
When [a] prejudicial and /or racist attitude is expressed in a behavior that is focused
specifically in the abuse, humiliations and defamation of persons because of their race or
ethnicity, it has become racial harassment.” (The Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist
Church: 2000, #157, “Racial Harassment,” p.393)
As we seek to dismantle the racism and cultural biases in our structure, policies, and
practices, we will also continue to work to create an environment in which all people are
respected and welcomed. “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the
members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” (I Corinthians 12:12)
“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it, if one member is honored, all rejoice
together with it.” (I Corinthians 12:26)
DEFINITION
The General Conference of 1992 defines the following conditions as racial harassment:
1.
Abusive and/or derogatory language that in a subtle or overt manner
belittles, humiliates, impugns, or defames a person or a group of
143
POLICIES
persons based on racial and ethnic traits, heritage, and
characteristics;
2. A behavior (individual, group, or institutional) which abuses, belittles,
humiliates, defames, or demeans a person or a group of persons based
on racial or ethnic traits, heritage, and characteristics;
3. Documentation, printed or visual, which abuses, belittles, humiliates,
defames, or demeans a person or a group of persons based on racial
or ethnic traits, heritage, and characteristics.
(The Book of Resolutions of the United Methodist Church: 2000, #157,
“Racial Harassment,” p. 393)
The Northern Illinois Annual Conference will not tolerate any acts or communications that
belittle, humiliate, impugn or defame an individual or group on the basis of his/her/their
racial or ethnic traits, heritage, or characteristics. We prohibit behaviors that contribute to
the creation of a racially hostile and offensive church or work environment marked by one or
more characteristics of the definition quoted above. This environment is manifested when
words or actions directed toward a group, or an individual of a particular race or ethnic
origin, are unwelcome and seriously and pervasively abusive, belittling, humiliating,
defamatory or demeaning to the victims.
These prohibitions against racial harassment apply to any person within the Northern Illinois
Annual Conference, whether laity, clergy, or staff. The offended person may be another
individual in the church, a recipient of the church’s services, a staff member, or a community
member. The prohibitions may apply at any place or time.
While all persons are expected to take part in maintaining an environment safe and free from
racial harassment, each supervisor, pastor, and congregational leader is responsible for
taking steps to create such an environment. This responsibility is also intended to cover any
racial harassment complaints lodged against third-party providers of services to the Northern
Illinois Annual Conference or individuals involved in business relationships with the
Conference. Those who have knowledge of incidents involving substantiated racial
harassment and fail to respond appropriately also are in violation of this policy.
PROCEDURES
I.
In any event, the procedures outlined in ¶ 359 and ¶ 2702,
number 1 (clergy) and ¶ 2703, number 3 (laity) of the 2000 Book
of Discipline, and other relevant sections, may be pursued by
either of the parties. The following procedures are
supplementary in nature and do not, in any way, supersede the
tenets of the Book of Discipline. In the event of any inconsistency,
the Book of Discipline shall govern.
II.
If you are racially harassed:
a. State firmly and clearly to the harasser that this behavior is
unwelcome and you want it to stop. It may be helpful to
take another person with you for support. This action, in
some cases will resolve the issue.
b. Keep a journal which documents all incidents of suspected
racial harassment including dates, times and descriptions of
the incidents. Record the names of any witnesses to the
harassment. Keep copies of all written materials you
complete in reference to the harassment. If you receive any
written letters, cards, or memos of a harassing nature, keep
144
POLICIES
c.
them and note the date and how the material was received
(mailed to your home, left on your desk, etc.).
If the issue cannot be resolved through personal
confrontation, you may: (1) inform your Staff-Parish
Relations Committee, your pastor, the District
Superintendent, your immediate supervisor, or other such
person or group as may be appropriate in the particular case
at hand. Keep copies of all correspondence. Remember that
the church supports an environment free from racial
antagonism and that the above named persons are
committed to helping you; (2) present your situation to the
Chairperson of the Commission on Religion and Race of the
Northern Illinois Conference.
III.
If you are accused of racial harassment:
a. Try talking with the individual who is making the complaint
against you with the permission of him or her directly or
through a third party. Try to reach a solution. Document
the agreement and actions taken.
b. If the issue cannot be resolved through personal dialogue,
you may: (1) inform one of the above named persons or
groups depending on which is appropriate; (2) present the
situation to the Chairperson of the Commission on Religion
and Race.
IV.
If racial harassment is reported to you:
a. Listen objectively and take it seriously.
b. Help the person follow the steps outlined above.
V.
Any incident of racial harassment experienced, perpetrated, or
observed is to be reported to the Chairperson of the Commission
on Religion and Race. This policy is designed to be correctional
rather than punitive.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
that the annual conference adopt the policy set forth above.
that a Racial Harassment Prevention/Response Team be formed. (Some
ideas/possibilities for the Team’s purpose are: conduct anti-racism training
events, disseminate the conference policy, and provide intervention.)
that the current members of the Commission on Religion and Race serve as the
Racial Harassment Prevention/Response Team.
that the Racial Harassment Prevention/Response Team shall be the leadership
entity under this policy, but its role is consultative and facilitative rather than
judicial. Any matter involving a formal complaint or a chargeable offense shall
be exclusively the province of responsible church authorities under the Judicial
Administration and fair process provisions of the Book of Discipline.
that the Bishop appoint additional members to the Team in consultation with
groups in the conference which deal with issues of racial justice.
that the Cabinet of Northern Illinois Conference plans, develops, and
implements a program designed to address issues of race and racism in local
congregations where cross-racial appointments are situated; this program
145
POLICIES
7.
should assist clergy, lay leadership, and congregations as they create supportive
and healthy settings in which ministry can thrive.
that this policy be made available in the Korean and Spanish and other
significant language groups represented in the Conference.

CHILD AND YOUTH ABUSE AND PREVENTION POLICY
(Passed on Second Consent Calendar in Plenary, June 9, 2005)
Introduction
WHEREAS, The General Conference of The United Methodist Church, in April, 1996,
adopted a resolution aimed at reducing the risk of child sexual abuse in the church. The
adopted resolution includes the following statement:
Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes [a] child…welcomes me.” (Matthew 18:5).
Children are our present and our future, our hope, our teachers, our inspiration.
They are full participants in the life of the church and in the realm of God.
Jesus also said, “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones…,
it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and
you were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6). Our Christian faith
calls us to offer both hospitality and protection to the little ones, the children. The
Social Principles of The United Methodist Church state that “…children must be
protected from economic, physical, and sexual exploitation, and abuse.”
Tragically, churches have not always been safe places for children. Child sexual
abuse, exploitation and ritual abuse (ritual abuse refers to abusive acts committed
as part of ceremonies or rites; ritual abusers are often related to cults, or pretend to
be) occur in churches, both large and small, urban and rural. The problem cuts
across all economic, cultural and racial lines. It is real, and it appears to be
increasing. Most annual conferences can cite specific incidents of child sexual abuse
and exploitation in their churches. Virtually every congregation has among its
members adult survivors of early sexual trauma.
Such incidents are devastating to all who are involved: the children, the family, the
local church and its leaders. Increasingly, churches are torn apart by legal,
emotional, and monetary consequences of litigation following allegations of abuse.
God calls us to make our churches safe places, protecting children and other
vulnerable persons from sexual and ritual abuse. God calls us to create communities
of faith where children and adults grow safe and strong.
Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church 1996, pages 384-386
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Northern Illinois Conference of The United
Methodist Church adopts this policy for the prevention of child abuse in our conference
ministries:
146
POLICIES
Purpose
Our Conference’s purpose for establishing this Child and Youth Protection Policy is to
demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to the physical safety and spiritual
growth of all our children and youth, and to reduce the risk of abuse occurring in our
conference ministries.
Statement of Covenant
As a Christian community of faith, and an Annual Conference of the United Methodist
Church, we pledge to conduct the ministry of the gospel in ways that assure the safety and
spiritual growth of all our children and youth, as well as the safety and spiritual growth of
those persons who work with children and youth.






We follow reasonable safety measures in the selection and recruitment of workers.
We implement prudent operational procedures in all programs and events.
We educate our workers with children and youth regarding the use of all
appropriate policies and methods, including first aid and methods of discipline.
We have clearly defined procedures for reporting a suspected incident of abuse that
conforms to the requirements of the laws of the State of Illinois. Our volunteers and
paid staff are instructed to report all suspected incidents of abuse.
We prepare to respond to media inquiries if an incident occurs.
We inform parents of our policies, provide training for our workers with children
and youth, and provide forums for learning concerning these issues for our
congregations, our clergy, our conference level staff, our local church staffs, and the
public.
Conclusion
In all our ministries with children and youth, the Northern Illinois Conference of The United
Methodist Church is committed to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ through the
provision of safe and sacred places where children and youth may learn and grow in faith.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Conference Children’s Ministry
Council and the Conference Safe Sanctuaries Task Force develop appropriate procedures
concerning the following areas:





Response of teachers, leaders, or other child and/or youth workers who witness or
suspect an incident of child abuse
Primary response to an allegation of child abuse
Confidentiality
Safety procedures
Interim amending of the policy
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Conference Children’s Ministry
Council and the Conference Safe Sanctuaries Task Force submit the procedures to the 2006
session of the Annual Conference for the purpose of perfecting and adopting the procedures.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all conference level events offering child
care between this session of the Annual Conference and the 2006 session of the Annual
Conference work in consultation with the Conference Children’s Ministry Council and the
147
POLICIES
Conference Safe Sanctuaries Task Force in providing appropriate care for the safety of
children and youth entrusted to their supervision in child care settings.
THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that all conference level events working with
children and youth (beyond the provision of child care) meet the requirement for child and
youth workers and safety procedures presently in place and used by the Northern Illinois
Conference Office of Outdoor and Retreat Ministries.

PROCEDURAL NOTES RELATED TO AGENDA
As a means of acknowledging and celebrating the connection of the Annual Conference within the time constraints of the
business sessions, the following procedures for inclusion in the agenda will be observed.
REPORTS
Boards, Commissions, and major organizations of the Annual Conference will report during each Quadrennium on a
rotating basis as assigned by action of the Annual Conference Committee with a maximum of four such reports annually.
Requests from Conference related agencies will be considered by the Annual Conference Committee on an individual basis.
Requests from groups who report on a regular basis, during the year that they are not reporting, will be included as part of
the group courtesies read by Daily Procedures.
ANNOUNCEMENTS & COURTESIES
Distinction between announcements (Conference Secretary) and courtesies (Daily Procedures):
1. If the matter deals with events occurring during or arising out of the Annual Conference session, or is information
pertinent to the business of the Annual Conference, it will be handled as an announcement by the Conference
Secretary at the end of the business session.
2. If the matter deals with individuals, organizations or events outside of the session of the Annual Conference,
or to which the Annual Conference is only incidental, it will be handled as a
courtesy by Daily Procedures during the business session. Requests made from the floor by
members of the Annual Conference will be handled at the discretion of the presiding officer.
Requests for a personal privilege should not be made for the purpose of announcements or
personal expressions of gratitude. However, requests that would express the gratitude of the
entire body would be in order.
Announcements
Requests for announcements should be given to the Conference Secretary for reading.
Courtesies
Requests for courtesies need to be made prior to the time of Annual Conference and must be made in writing or via e-mail
to the Chair of Daily Procedures prior to May 1. Requests must include the name of the group represented, the name of the
person who will be speaking, the purpose of the courtesy, and the individual or group to be recognized if introductions are
to be made.
Recognitions and awards may be granted to individuals and/or groups and will be handled during the plenary in a designate
block of time apart from the announcements or courtesies.
No more than three courtesies will be allowed per business session. These courtesies will be limited to three (3) minutes
each and assigned on a first come, first served basis by Daily Procedures. If deemed necessary, Daily Procedures may read
several of the courtesies together as a group.
