PRESIDENT’S KAUHAU FOR SYNOD 2006 In Memoriam I would ask you to pause and remember those who have died this last year. Former Synod members who have died since last year include Mr Colin McKnight, Mrs Patricia Stone, Mr Murray Gillan, The Rev'd Edgar Pacey and The Rev'd Canon John Teal. It is with fond and thankful memories we acknowledge their devoted service to the church. I would also like to acknowledge the passing of Mrs Mavis Wilkinson the wife of the much loved priest, the Rev’d Canon John Barry Wilkinson. This week has seen the death of Te Arikinui Te Ata-i-rangi-kāhu and many tributes to her 40 years as Queen. We remember Tainui and the Kīngitanga. I well remember the day 40 years ago when she was crowned and we buried her father King Koroki on that same mountain, Taupiri. Canon Wi Te Tau Huata anointed her after the Paipera Tapu, the Māori translation of the Holy Bible, had been placed on her head, this time Archbishop Brown Turei was the anointer of the new King, Tuheitia Paki. Two main themes in this Kauhau [1] Acknowledging our reliance on God, and [2] Respect for others We as a family have been very touched and grateful for the support that we have received from so many in the form of prayers, cards, emails, flowers, food and kind thoughts. Thank you all very much indeed. It has made many things possible. You will remember hearing from me at the beginning of May. I said two main things. Firstly, that I had just discovered that I had heart problems. And secondly, that I thought it might be quite a while before anything could be done about it because of waiting lists and health board financial constraints. Providentially, and probably because of the wave of prayer around the diocese and the church I was admitted to hospital on the Monday after General Synod and received coronary artery bypass grafts the following week [CABG]. I want to tell two stories related to my medical experiences. The first is to do with my angiogram, what I will call pu manawa- the beating heart. This name connects to the time when we lived in the Rotorua district during the 1970s. There are eight sub-tribes of the Arawa people, who are called Nga pu manawa e waru o Rangitihi – the eight beating hearts of Rangitihi (who was one of their eponymous ancestors). After the angiogram the cardiologist turned the video screen round for me to have a look, and used his remote control to show me the pictures of my heart taken from various Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 30 directions. It was beautiful and also awesome in both senses of that word. It was awesome in the sense of awe inspiring because it was so amazing to see my heart, about twice actual size pulsing, and awesome in the sense of frightening because there was so much wrong with the three arteries attached to the heart. The second relates to the days immediately prior to and after surgery. For nearly a week prior to surgery I was dosed frequently with morphine to prevent my having a heart attack. The days immediately after surgery I was in intensive care and in the cardiac recovery ward. During those four or five days I had to live by the saying “Let go and let God”. I was “out of it” you might say. I couldn’t say my daily office, and I couldn’t pray. I had to rely completely on God. When I say that I learned again to acknowledge my complete reliance on God I think of two passages of scripture. The first is from Deuteronomy. The second from St Paul. In Deuteronomy chapter eight verses 17 and 18 the people of God are told about their prosperity in the land of promise “Do not say to yourself, ‘My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth’. But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today“. In Galatians chapter two verse 20 Paul writes “and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me”, verses that have always been very important to me and reinforced during these last weeks. These experiences reinforce for me the wish to acknowledge my complete reliance on God and the desire to encourage others to do so too. The second main theme I spoke about was respect for others, that is respect for all those God has given us as neighbours. [a] International. ”A united church is no optional extra,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu in an impassioned speech to the World Council of Churches 9th Assembly in Porto Alegre. Rather, he said, it is “indispensable for the salvation of God’s world.” Apartheid had continued so long because the church was divided, and God called it to unity, adding, “Jesus was quite serious when he said that God was our father, that we belonged all to one family, because in this family all, not some, are insiders. Bush, bin Laden, all belong, gay, lesbian, so-called straight – all belong and are loved, are precious.” Speaking later he said “Christians did not have to feel insecure in the face of people from other faiths.” Of relations with Muslims, he said, “I hope the WCC will preach that it is adherents of a faith who are good or bad, not the faith. No faith says, “We believe in injustice or violence”. There are immense challenges here. We need as Anglicans to talk to ourselves and each other about the nature of our understanding of scripture, of the church, and reason. We need to listen to our stories, especially of those who feel excluded. We quickly take sides on issues. Christ calls us to respect and listen and try to understand. If we don’t understand the other’s point of view at all we probably haven’t listened enough. [b] Three Tikanga leadership. General Synod this May chose a new style of leadership for our Church. No longer was there to be a single Archbishop or Presiding Bishop, but three. We believed that true partnership in the gospel encouraged us to attempt this new way of trusting each other. The first few months seem, to me at least, to have repaid our confidence. Never before has there been so much consultation and agreement between the leaders of our Church. I rejoice and look forward to their building on this new beginning. [c] Our diocese. We are called to work together as lay, clergy, and bishop, as parishes and synod, as diocese and regions, as districts and communities. There will be changes as we try to live the gospel in the south. Our situation is Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 31 different from some other parts of the country both in benefit and constraint. We have seen patterns of ministry change in the last twenty years and will no doubt see further changes. I hope these will always be with consultation and after careful thought and prayer. [d] Our communities. Violence has marked the relationship between too many in our communities. There has been violence against children, within families, in homes, on the street. Alcohol and drugs seem to have played a part in all this, but, too often, there has been a lack of respect for others, and certainly not much attempt to understand the needs or feelings of others. I hope that every Anglican and every parish and every community could try again. I know we feel helpless but while people of good will do nothing evil will prevail. How much more should people of faith attempt to find answers. Christchurch diocese 150th celebrations Christchurch diocese is celebrating one hundred and fifty years this year. I have reminded them that what is now the diocese of Dunedin was part of that beginning and we have been and will be represented at some of the events. Bishop Harper was bishop of a diocese which stretched from North Canterbury, through Otago and Southland to the islands south of New Zealand. So technically the Snares, Auckland and Campbell islands, and the other islands south of Stewart Island, are part of our diocese though there are few opportunities for evangelistic outreach there. 40th anniversary of the 1st New Zealand Eucharistic Liturgy In May 1966 General Synod authorized the first New Zealand Liturgy. It was to be used from October of that year. We began with an orange book and there were purple, grey, brown, yellow, blue and green books. The 1970 edition was a bit bigger and eventually had both Maori and English. The 1984 edition had a scene of the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Eventually we had the full A New Zealand Prayer Book – He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa, and there have so far been five editions of the full book. Three comments: Firstly, thanksgiving to God for those who did the work. Who consulted the parishes and clergy and who went on providing resources for home use, for Sundays and for weekdays. Secondly, since that time we have not had to live under the yoke of the English Church, but, with other parts of the Anglican Communion, have been able to develop our own services and style and language. I see our New Zealand authorized services providing for a wide range of styles – ranging from the very traditional to much freer and more modern. We were able to be innovative about poetic language. We have had the opportunity to speak to and about God without confusion of gender and about each other and other peoples in an inclusive way. Thirdly, most do not remember how profound is the freedom we were given in 1966. For the first time lay people were able to read the scriptures at the Eucharist and lead the Prayers and in fact the whole Ministry of the Word portion of the new service. Prior to 1966 only the priest could do that and only robed licensed lay readers could read the scriptures and lead Mattins and Evensong. I think this caused an immense change of direction on which we have tried to build and need to go on building. I hope we will celebrate this especially on the last Sunday of October but really on every Sunday and weekday both privately and communally. Evangelistic opportunity I want to end with a challenge to us all to work out how we can respond to the evangelistic opportunity to meet and interact with the increasing number of unbaptized adults. I see this as a target group. Of course we must also continue to support work among children and families, and among the youth. But in the community at large so many now do not know the story of Christ, of faith, of meaning and hope. May we with God’s strength find the way to share what we have so richly received with those around us.

Agreed by acclamation 4.00pm: Synod closed with a prayer and blessing by the Bishop. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 56 BILL NO. 1 A Bill Intituled “The Members of Boards and Committees Bill”. The Synod of the Diocese of Dunedin enacts as follows: 1. Title. The title of this statute is “The Members of Boards and Committees Statute 2006”. 2. Purpose. The purpose of this statute is to make provision for the qualifications of members and (where appropriate) alternate members of certain Boards and Committees, where the Charities Act 2005 takes those members to be the “officers” of the Church. 3. Application. This Statute applies to (a) The Diocesan Council (b) Working Groups of the Diocesan Council, in any case where a Working Group has the power of final decision (c) Governing and co-ordinating bodies under Part II of Statute No 3, “The Parishes and Local Churches Statute 1992” (d) The Cathedral Chapter (e) The Vestry of the Cathedral District (f) The Dunedin Diocesan Pensions Committee (g) The Boards or Managing Committees of Diocesan Institutions as defined in Statute No 17, “The Diocesan Institutions Statute 1918” (h) The Diocesan Social Services Board and its trustees (i) The Selwyn College Board of Governors; and (j) Boards appointed under Statute No 22, “The Cemeteries Statute 1902”. Explanatory note. All these bodies are likely to be trust boards or governing bodies under the Charities Act 2005 (though some may be included by the Diocese in its “umbrella registration)”. The Act requires that if a trust is to have charitable status for Inland Revenue purposes, its trust board or governing body may not include the people listed in the next section. So provision needs to be made in respect of all these bodies, failing which the status of our church may be affected, retrospectively to the date an unqualified person first sat on the board or governing body. Further note. The qualifications of members of the Diocesan Trust Board have already been dealt with by legislation passed by General Synod in 2006 (enacting a new Title F, Canon VIII). The present legislation is framed in very similar terms to the General Synod legislation. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 57 4. 5. No person is eligible to become or to remain a member or (where alternate members are permitted) an alternate member of any Board or Committee to which this Statute applies, if that person (a) Is an undischarged bankrupt (b) Is under the age of 16 years (c) Has been convicted of a crime of dishonesty (within the meaning of section 2(1) of the Crimes Act 1961) and has been sentenced for that crime within the last seven years (d) Is prohibited from being a director or promoter of, or being concerned or taking part in the management of, a company under section 382, 383 or 385 of the Companies Act 1993 (e) Is disqualified from being an officer of a charitable entity under section 31(4) of the Charities Act 2005 (f) Is subject to a property order made under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, or whose property is managed by a trustee corporation under section 32 of that Act The provisions of clause 4, paragraphs (c) to (f), apply also to events occurring under comparable legislation in other countries, but the provisions of clauses 7 and 8 will not apply until the Chair of the Board or Committee has certified that the events and the legislation are substantial equivalents. Explanatory note. This section deals with people who, having lived overseas, subsequently become members of Diocesan Boards or Committees. The same disqualification rules should apply to them, where the disqualifying status has been imposed by the law of the country where they formerly lived. The status of bankrupt is well known and there are comparable legal provisions in most other countries. The age provision also can be applied internationally. But with the other paragraphs, though there is often an overseas equivalent, the equivalence between the relevant NZ laws and those in other countries may be less clear. Section 4, paragraphs (c)-(f), refer to the NZ legislation (as does the Charities Act 2005). Section 5 broadens this to include any comparable status in another country, but in that case disqualification will not be automatic. It will take effect only after the equivalence has been established. (This broadening, incidentally, does not appear strictly necessary under the Charities Act 2005, but it would be absurd to have less stringent qualification provisions for overseas member of Boards and Committees, than apply to New Zealand members.) 6. Every person who is, or who becomes, or who is re-appointed as a member or an alternate member of a Committee or Board to which this Statute applies 6.1 Diocese of Dunedin must forthwith sign a declaration that 2006 Year Book Page 58 6.2 (a) He or she is duly qualified to be a member under the rules applicable to that body, and (b) He or she is not disqualified from being a member on any of the grounds set out in clause 4, or under section 16 of the Charities Act 2005; and is ineligible to participate in the business of the Board or Committee until the declaration is submitted to the Secretary of that Board or Committee. 7. The election or appointment of any person who is disqualified under clause 4 is invalid and that person’s position can be filled in accordance with the rules applicable if no election had been held or no appointment made. 8. The term of office of any person who becomes disqualified under clause 2 automatically terminates, and that person’s position can be filled in accordance with the rules applicable to a casual vacancy. 9. No decision or action of any Committee or Board is invalid by reason only that a disqualified person or persons took part in its deliberations, unless it is established that the decision or action would or could not have been approved had that person or those persons been absent. Where no formal voting is recorded it will be assumed that all eligible persons present approved the decision or action. 10. Protection of those dealing with the Church. No person dealing with the Church or the Diocese through the Committee or Board is concerned to see whether a member is qualified or eligible to participate under Clauses 4 and 5. 11. Consequential amendments concerning qualifications of members. The provisions of the Statutes relating to the Boards and Committees to which Title this statute applies are amended in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1.

Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 69 Report of the Diocesan Council Synod 2006 Members of Diocesan Council: Rev’d. H Mann, Rev’d. T Hurd, Rev’d. R Johnson, Rev’d H McCafferty, Rev’d. W Schroeder, Mrs. J. Campbell, Mrs. K. Nichol, Mr. G. Stewart, Mrs. P. French, Dr. AEJ Fitchett. In attendance: Ven Dr KP Wright, Prof R Sutton, Canon A Clark, Rev’d Beth Griffin, Mr. B Crayston, Very Rev’d David C. Rice This year has been an unusual one. Early in 2006 our Bishop had a serious heart condition diagnosed and his subsequent surgery and recuperation have meant that we have taken a “softly softly” approach to the year. Nevertheless it has been a year of consolidation for the council in which good progress has been made in several areas. Two issues of significance were passed to the Diocesan Council by Synod 2005. These were the hospital chaplaincy and the Diocesan Foundation. Synod requested the council to form a working party to consider models of hospital chaplaincy. The council was asked to give high financial priority to any realistic recommendations coming from the working group. The working group met in late 2005 and presented its report to Diocesan Council in mid 2006, (report to Diocesan Council is attached herewith for your information). Of the four models of hospital chaplaincy considered, the working group recommended the existing model of chaplaincy as the most appropriate and suggested several ways in which this might be funded. It is noted that while several parishes were prepared to raise their diocesan budget contributions to fund hospital chaplaincy, not all parishes were willing to do this, and the pledged increases in giving were not enough to ensure the viability of hospital chaplaincy. The diocesan foundation appeal did not meet with universal acceptance throughout the diocese. A significant number of parishes did not participate fully in the canvassing and pledging process and although a significant sum of money was pledged through the campaign, it fell considerably short of the hoped for $3 million. The appeal process is continuing and ways are being investigated to allow for a broader spectrum of pledging and canvassing methods than the original process recommended. During the year, urgent consideration was given to the building needs of the diocesan office. Renting space has proven to be very unsatisfactory. As part of its investment strategy, the Trust Board has decided to build a commercial building on the site of the old Green Island parish hall which can be let to the Diocesan Office. This will give security of tenure to the diocesan office, ensure that the office has a building suitable to its needs and provide a stable, long term investment for the trust board. Work will start on the new building soon, and it should be completed late next year. During the year an investigation was made of the state of the Port Chalmers church. Although it is basically sound, it is in need of expensive restoration work. Performing these repairs will stretch the current congregation well past the limits of feasibility and prudence. This has raised for the council the wider question of how some of our congregations can be expected to cope with beautiful but expensive heirloom buildings. At the time of writing this report procedures are underway for the closure of the churches in Tapanui and Waikaka. These small congregations have worked hard for many years to maintain an Anglican presence in Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 70 their respective districts, but the expectation that they can continue to do so is unfair and unrealistic. This underscores further the question of how we can maintain an Anglican presence in some areas of the diocese, and how we may best make use of the material and personnel assets at out disposal. These issues are crucial and must be addressed by the diocese soon. They are issues not only for the rural parts of the diocese, but for all of us. Kelvin Wright Vicar General and Acting Chair of DC Revised Report to Diocesan Council regarding 5ynod Motion no.12, (Hospital Chaplaincy) Preamble During the second session of the fifty third Synod of the Diocese of Dunedin, held in Dunedin from 22 July, 2005, as part of Motion no.i2 (Hospital Chaplaincy), the following points were agreed:3 Diocesan Council is requested to form a Working Party to discuss future models of hospital chaplaincy, and ways and means of funding it; 4 The Working Party should (a) include representation from different parts of the Diocese, where there is an active hospital chaplaincy, and where such chaplaincy is needed; (b) Include at least one of the Social Care Representatives on the Diocesan Council, and one from the Social Care Liason Committee; (c) invite reports and comments from currently employed hospital chaplains, and from chaplaincy assistants, and encourage their representatives to attend the Working Group meetings, and (d) Report to the Diocesan Council not later than February,2006, or at an earlier date, which the Diocesan Council may determine; 5 Synod also requests Diocesan Council, on receipt of the Report, to consider \ giving high financial priority to any realistic recommendation coming from the Working Group, particularly as regards the income from the Diocesan Foundation. During the months of September and October, representatives from the above mentioned groups have met. Communications were shared both through meeting in groups, and through electronic means, and were collated in a meeting in bunedin on 25 November, 2005. The report from that meeting was presented to the last session of the Diocesan Council. Here is a revised version of that report:Future Models of Hospital Chaplaincy (Motion 12: 3) It was unanimously agreed that current models of hospital chaplaincy need to be continued, especially in the two main public hospitals which serve the regions which make up the Dunedin Diocese (Dunedin Public Hospitals, and Kew Hospital, Invercargill). This involves training, as outlined by ICHC and the Healthcare Chaplains Association, which is described in the original document. (a) The current model includes the training of Chaplaincy Assistants by existing Stipended Chaplains. This Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 71 happens in Dunedin, but unfortunately kick of funds has prevented it from being put into practice in Invercargill. A new model suggested was that of “travelling chaplain”, especially for rural areas. With appropriate training, a chaplain could be assigned to visit people at home, who have received surgery, etc., especially as hospital “stays” become shorter. This model has yet to be tried and tested, and if carried out as part of the chaplaincy service of a public hospital, would need training as stipulated by ICHC and the Healthcare Chaplains Association. Three other possible models mentioned were: 1 All-Anglican hospital chaplaincy 2 Parish clergy visiting their own parishioners 3 Lay parish visitors administering to their own parishioners. It would not be possible to implement model(1) for two reasons - - -first, there would not be enough funding, and second, a successful ecumenical chaplaincy service has evolved in Otago over nearly 30 years in which Anglicans have played their part. During the last decade an ecumenical service has begun in Invercargill. It would be regrettable if the denominations decided to “go separate ways”, apart from the fact that the Anglican church is smaller in numbers in Otago and Southland. Models (2) and (3) do not fulfill the criteria of hospital chaplaincy, which go beyond visiting the sick. (The difference between the two has been fully explained in the Diocesan Survey, 2005) In Brief, the current models of hospital chaplaincy, both stipendiary, and non-stipendiary assistants, are tried and tested, and meet the criteria as set down by ICHC, and the Healthcare Chaplains Association. Why Fund Hospital Chaplaincy? 1 It goes back to very early Christian centuries in Northern Europe, and cannot be perceived as an “extra” 2 It comes under the “umbrella” of “Loving Service”, one of the tenets of A.C.C.6. 3 According to the Standing Resolutions, p.6, 4.10, Synod Budgets (2001,2002), B. Policies, point no. 5 reads:“The first call on the Synod Budget is for the basic requirements to enable the Diocesan Ministry and Mission of the Church” The Mission and Ministry of the Church in this context is carried out ecumenically. Ways of Funding Hospital Chaplaincy (Motion 12:3) More lobbying of the Government Lobbying of local businesses (as they apparently do in Rotorua) Suggesting a levy to parishes/faith communities (as is done for NZABM) Preaching/talking about hospital chaplaincy (resources are available) including hospital chaplaincy on the Diocesan Prayerlist more than once a year. The wealthy churches could donate one week offering to hospital chaplaincy. Concerts, progressive dinners, raffles, sales of work, etc. NB Hospital Chaplaincy Awareness Month in October, 2005, raised awareness of what is very much an “unseen” ministry, and also produced donations. But in order to carry out a professional service, a reliable source of income is needed. Recommendation Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 72 That, for the reasons mentioned under “Why Fund Hospital Chaplaincy?”, this ministry be re-instated in the Diocesan Budget, and that , during Budget Roadshow sessions around the Diocese, ways of funding this ministry be discussed. Helene V. Mann Pauline French February, 2006 (a) from the original document- - - Models of Hospital Chaplaincy need to be approved by I.C.H.C. I.C.H.C. (Interchurch Council for Hospital Chaplaincy) has been the national provider of hospital chaplaincy in public hospitals in New Zealand since 6 March, 1972. The Government wished to deal with only one body on behalf of the Churches, and a shared funding arrangement exists between the Ministry of Health and I.C.H.C.. Chaplains also have to comply with the training requirements set down by the Healthcare Chaplains Association. Current models comply with all of the above. The District Health Board has the power to encourage or discourage Hospital Chaplaincy in its own hospital(s), therefore relationships between the D.H.B., the Chaplaincy Team and the Local Service Provider (i.e. ecumenical chaplaincy council) are of utmost importance. (b) Comments from the Diocesan Hospital Chaplaincy Survey, regarding the role of the hospital chaplain “I see hospital chaplaincy as including some pastoral care for sick people in hospital, but also including pastoral care for families of the sick people in hospital, and also the care-giver (the whole hospital staff). In other words, chaplaincy is much wider than pastoral care for the sick.” “The chaplain provides professional assessment of spiritual needs, and on to contributing to diagnostic assessment, and on to healing by offering the ministry of healing with prayer, laying-on-of hands, sacramental ministry, and surrounding this, the ministry of “presence”. “The chaplain is involved in other people’s predicaments, thereby showing the Christ who is already at work in their midst, helping to bear the unbearable, sharing the unshareable in a ministry that is incarnational and transcendent.” “The chaplain’s ministry is also to staff. In this ministry, it should not be separated from patients, as much of what is happening arises from mutual roles all disciplines have in caring for the sick, and the sense of Place in the hospital community---this is a part of the difference of visiting the sick, and the role of the chaplain as a professional, or the ministry of a priest chaplain.” Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 73 LIST OF APPENDICES: No. 1 : Diocesan Foundation No. 2 : Administration and Finance Sub-Committee No. 3 : Dunedin Evangelism Working Group No. 4 : Ministry Council No. 5 : Diocesan Anglican Care Liaison Group No. 6 : Diocesan Pension Committee No. 7 : Dunedin Social Justice Working Group No. 8 : Southland Ecumenical Social Justice Group No. 9 : Youth Affairs Sub Committee No. 10 : Anglican Family Care Centre No. 11 : Archives Committee No. 12 : Association of Anglican Women No. 13 : Association of Licensed Lay Ministers No. 14 : Cathedral Chapter No. 15 : Christian World Services No. 16 : Cursillo: Dunedin Diocese No. 17 : Hospital Chaplaincy - Otago No. 18 : Kakanui Crib No. 19 : Overseas Mission Committee No. 20 : Selwyn College No. 21 : Leslie Groves Society No. 22 : Parata Anglican Chartiable Trust No. 23 : South Centre Anglican Care No. 24 : Takitimu Home Anglican Care Trust No. 25 : The Home of St Barnabas Trust No: 26 : Southland Hospital Chaplaincy Service No: 27: Southland Tertiary Chaplain’s Report No. 28 : St Hilda’s Collegiate School – Principals Report No. 29 : Three Tikanga Social Justice Commissioner No. 30 : Trust Board, Chairperson’s Report Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 74 Appendix 1 Diocesan Foundation Synod 2006 History In 2002 the Synod, recognising the serious inadequacy of the Bishopric Endowment, asked the Diocesan Council to explore ways of raising $1,000,000 to increase its capital. In 2003 Synod resolved to raise the money by a variety of means, including a major Appeal during the next vacancy in the office of Bishop. Unexpectedly, this occurred in 2004, and Diocesan Council commissioned a Feasibility Study regarding an Appeal. That study suggested that Anglicans in the Diocese saw the need for a bigger appeal, to resource a wider range of diocesan mission and ministry activities in addition to the Bishop, and that it should be launched once the new Bishop was in place. The Appeal for a Diocesan Foundation for Mission and Ministry, was launched by the Diocesan Council last year. It was originally envisaged that it would be a high-intensity campaign, run within a short period, throughout the Diocese. Circumstances made this difficult, and a more drawn-out process was adopted. The aim remains the same: for a Visitor to talk with every Anglican in the Diocese about what the Church means to them, explain how a donor can advance God’s Kingdom by supporting the Diocese in its Mission and Ministry, tell them that the Visitor has already made a pledge, and invite a response, encouraging contributions at regular intervals over a three-year period. Last year the Diocesan Council also resolved that the current priorities for the use of extra income from the Foundation were hospital chaplaincy and youth ministry. Present Position Six parishes has embraced the Appeal wholeheartedly, fourteen have expressed interest but not yet taken effective action, and fifteen have offered no positive response yet. Disappointingly, some vestries and some clergy have prevented this story from being heard by their parishioners, and have therefore excluded them from the invitation to contribute in this way to God’s Mission and Ministry in the Diocese. It must be emphasised that this Appeal is primarily directed to individuals. Parishes are not being approached to give as parishes, though some in fact have done so because they have seen the importance of the campaign. In June the Diocesan Council agreed that the next step was to find ways of triggering action in those parishes that had expressed support but not yet taken action. As a first step it decided to identify a person in each of those parishes who could ‘make things happen’, who could negotiate with the vestry and other parish leaders to create a local path for the Foundation appeal. A Parish Co-ordinator will be needed for each parish, to facilitate the use of John Whelan, the campaign director, in training visitors for a ‘Ten Visit Ten’ visiting programme. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 75 The Campaign Director, John Whelan, was employed to run the campaign. The time contracted for the intensive phase of the Appeal ended at Christmas 2005, though of course his duties will extend through the three-year period of the Appeal in a monitoring capacity. He has also made a very large personal contribution in the form of extra hours’ work beyond those contracted for, and has expressed his willingness to extend this contribution in the near future to facilitate the training of visitors. For that the Diocese should be deeply grateful, as the delay in the process derived from diocesan issues, and was not the fault of his organisation. We should also resolve to make the best and most vigorous use of that contribution of his, so that it is as effective as possible.

This remains possible, if every parish facilitates the process. Rev’d W.F Schroeder Dr A.E.J Fitchett Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 77 Appendix 2 The Administration and Finance Subcommittee Synod 2006 Membership and Meetings: The Rev'd W.F. Schroeder (Chair), the Bishop, The Rev'd Canon C.J. Rodgers, The Rev'd V.M. Galletly, Dr A.E. Fitchett and Mr G.M. Hughes. Dr David Fielding joined the Subcommittee in May and we look forward to his contribution. The Manager and the Accountant attended Subcommittee meetings. Dr Girvan tragically died 7 October 2005. His work on the Subcommittee will be greatly missed. Eleven meetings were held between last synod and the writing of this report. Role of the Subcommittee: The Finance and Administration Subcommittee is a subcommittee of the Diocesan Council responsible for dealing with routine functions associated with Administration, Finance, Property and related matters. Policy matters are referred to the Diocesan Council for a decision, in some cases with a recommendation. Synod Budget 2006 / 07: In February the Diocesan Council decided to ask the Finance and Administration Subcommittee to prepare two budgets, one including one full time hospital chaplain and one without. The corresponding budget expenditure totals were $218,677 and $194,677. At the request of the Diocesan Council the Subcommittee made a video on the budget to be distributed throughout the Diocese on tape or DVD. The June meeting of the Diocesan Council asked the Subcommittee to consider the budget at its July meeting. If at that time contributions from parishes were inadequate to cover expenditure the Subcommittee could prepare one scenario for reducing expenditure and invite debate at the forthcoming synod in order for Synod to pass a balanced budget (a requirement of our statutes). Impact of Government Legislation: The Charities Act and the Financial Reporting Act will have a direct effect on the way accounts are presented. These requirements will in turn affect the way parishes submit financial information to the Diocese. Financial reporting will come before this Synod as a Bill. The Subcommittee recommended to the Diocesan Council that the Diocese register with the Charities Commission, not individual parishes. The Council accepted this recommendation. To cope with these requirements and to keep accounting software up to date the Diocesan administration purchased a software business system upgrade. There have been a variety of associated costs. Staff training has been considerable. To deal with pressure of work in the Diocesan Office an additional staff member was employed. Considerable time was required transferring information to the new system which in turn meant the Subcommittee has experienced difficulty reviewing financial performance. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 78 The business system upgrade has made it possible for the Diocesan Office to process accounts for parishes and a number of parishes have taken up this offer. Property: The Subcommittee considered property matters in the faith communities of Wyndham, St Aidan's Invercargill, Port Chalmers, Wanaka, St. Matthew's Dunedin, Kaitaganta, Stirling, Te Anau, Maheno, Cromwell, Western Southland, Gore, Green Island, and All Saints, Dunedin. In most cases Property Commissioners were appointed. In addition the Subcommittee gave consideration to the “Diocesan Centre” at early stages of planning. The Subcommittee arranged for a submission to be made to the Dunedin City Council in response to their draft policy on Unsafe or Unsanitary buildings. Allowances: The subcommittee has made recommendations to the Diocesan Council on allowances for books, housing, and travel. Appreciation: Grateful thanks to all members of the Subcommittee. Particular thanks to Mr Bernie Crayston and Mr David Wood. Also our thanks to the office staff for their unfailing friendliness and co-operation. The Rev'd W.F. Schroeder Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 79 Appendix 3 Dunedin Evangelism Working Group. Synod 2006. This Group has been a little slow in getting of the ground, not only did we need to learn the finer points of Diocesan Council, we found to our dismay, shock & horror, what no Job Description. This it seemed was a do it yourself portfolio. A few hastie e-mails went out to five people in 5 different parishes in the Diocese asking some simple questions on Evangelism, we did well on that, with 8 replies Grateful though we were for those replies it did not create any inspiration as to where to from here. Inspiration did come eventually in the idea of holding something, where by the people of the Diocese could come together in a social way, so that we could meet under social circumstances and relax and have fun. Well, the meeting socially was fine but the cost of meeting socially was not so accepting. Fine we accept that we can’t always get things right, we are however looking at another plan for meeting socially with very little cost involved, but more about that later in the year. Next on the plan, was how to meet together for Evangelism, this is not easy when you are a little unsure what this may include, or who may even be interested. After much thought and prayer the Evangelism Conference was developed. It was decided that we would use outside speakers for the topics to be discussed, this was to allow all people in the Diocese to be able to come and listen and partake as a listener rather than as a speaker. . We have excellent speakers, who are very talented in the fields of which they are to speak and the subjects cover a good range where by there should be something for everyone to enjoy. The subjects cover points of interest that we hear in this Diocese, many may welcome fresh ideas and further exploration by Parishes. This Team operates without a budget, but is looking at how it may get funding so that we can look at projects that could be done within the Diocese at a cheaper cost. The aim for this Group is to have a few more people with a passion for Evangelism to come on board and help make things happen for our Diocese. Kate Nicol. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 80 Appendix 4 Ministry Council Report Synod 2006 A group was formed during the year to support the work of the Diocesan Ministry staff and to begin some work in other areas of ministry within the Diocese. A review of the Diocesan Ministry Educator has been initiated and the responses have been rolling in as this report is written. Thanks to Bernie and his staff for getting the review out. The ministry council would encourage all in stipended ministry within the Diocese to undergo a similar review, and offers the questionnaire that was used for the Ministry Educator review as a template for parishes to use in a review of ministry. A Dunedin based support group has been set up work with the Diocesan Ministry Educator, and another Southland based group is in place for the Children, Youth and Family Educator. Work has begun on a process for the Diocese to deal with any problems that may arise where relationships in ministry have broken down for whatever reason. This is in relation to Title D (Good ministry practice). Further work has been done on the calling process within Local Shared Ministry Communities, and on the role and requirements for enablers within such communities. My thanks to the group from all over the Diocese who have been involved with the Ministry Council. Garth Stewart Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 81 Appendix 5 Diocesan Anglican Care Liaison Group Synod 2006 Membership The committee, which has met three times since last Synod, is currently comprised of: Mrs. J Petersen - Chairperson (South Centre); The Bishop; Rev’d H Mann (Cathedral & East Otago); Mrs P French (Cathedral); Mrs. H Allison (Chairperson – AFCC); Mrs. N Taylor (Director – AFCC) and Mrs. S Hennessy (Manager - St Barnabas). The Diocesan Manager is its Secretary. Activities The highlight of the year, for the committee, was “Toolkit Day”, held in Balclutha in June. This was an occasion when workshops were given on a whole range of activities associated with the many “Social Services” undertaken within our Diocese. The workshops presented included Funding Resources; Restorative Justice; Volunteer Training; Anglican Family Care, South Centre & the Rest Homes for the Elderly; Growing Through Grief Programme; Parishes as Employers; Pastoral Care for offenders and their families; Pastoral Care for Tourists and the Charities Commission. There was an extremely pleasing attendance of people from throughout the Diocese to this occasion and the committee expresses its appreciation to all those who attended and to those who conducted the workshops. The committee was also kept advised of the change in structure to Anglican Family Care, in Dunedin, following the withdrawal from the long standing arrangement by the Methodists; the 50 th Anniversary celebrations of The Home of St Barnabas and the proposed move to a separate Charitable Trust structure for South Centre, Invercargill. The necessary deed to facilitate this latter matter is currently in its draft form and is being considered by the Diocesan Solicitor. Financial During the course of the year the committee made recommendations, which were approved, to the Trustees of Diocesan Funds, in respect of Grants and/or donations as follows: Parata Anglican Charitable Trust South Centre Takitimu Home Anglican Care Trust $15,000 $15,000 $15,000 Centre Co-ordinator Homebound Elderly Scheme Architect’s Fees - redevelopment Diocesan Anglican Care Liaison Group August 2006 Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 82 Appendix 6 Diocesan Pension Committee Synod 2006 Membership: During the course of this year membership of this committee comprised of: Bishop G Connor, Rev’d J A G Brook, Rev’d E P G Charles, Mrs. H Tapper, Mrs N Wong, Mr P R Jacombs and Mr V T Maffey. The Diocesan Manager serves as its Secretary. In the absence of the Bishop, Mr Maffey has chaired our meetings. The committee records, with regret, the passing of Pip Jacombs. His wise council to its affairs and his friendship will be sadly missed. Synod should be aware that Pip has served the Diocese on this committee since May 1988. Meetings: The Committee was only called together two times during the course of the year, each one being held in the Diocesan Offices, 258 Stuart Street, Dunedin. A visit from the New Zealand Anglican Church Pension Board is envisioned for September or November, with a proposed luncheon at St Barnabas. Grants & Assitance: The committee were only called upon to give consideration to four requests for financial assistance from eligible clergy & family during the year. It continues to give the committee much pleasure to be able to assist in this way and they encourage approaches being made to the Diocesan Manager for enquiry as to whether any particular set of circumstances may meet the requisite criteria. We again acknowledge and give grateful and prayerful thanks to those who, in earlier years, provided sufficient monies to enable those of us today to benefit from their foresight and generosity. At the time of writing the committee has invested in the Income Fund of the Diocesan Trust Board $162,000.00 From this sum, thanks to the prudent management of the Trust Board, we expect to have approximately $11,000.00 available for distribution for the ensuing year. Rev’d Brook, as Chaplain to the Retired Clergy, continues to spend much time keeping in contact with the retired clergy and clergy widows. This includes contact with those residing outside the diocese as well as those within it. For his unfailing attention to this duty, we give our grateful thanks. Administration: The Chairman expressed the appreciation of the members of the committee to Mrs Helen Tapper for her input to its affairs and conveyed best wishes to her, her husband and their family, upon their transfer to the Christchurch Diocese. Diocesan Pension Committee Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 83 Appendix 7 Dunedin Social Justice Working Group Synod 2006 Members: Ralph Body, Claire Brown, Jenny Campbell (corresponding), Joan Dutton, James Harding (convenor), Tim Hurd (secretary), Pat Scott (minutes secretary), Rosemary Russell, Natalia Yates. The Dunedin SJWG has had an active year so far, meeting monthly since February. Members of the group compiled a series of five Lenten studies on environmental issues entitled God’s Earth: Our Home, which was widely distributed and used during Lent. Anthony Dancer, the Social Justice Commissioner, has since turned the studies into a booklet for future distribution and use. The SJWG coordinated a visit by the Social Justice Commissioner to Oamaru and Dunedin, March 9-11, which was an excellent opportunity for the Oamaru and Dunedin groups to get to know Anthony in person and to become more familiar with his work, as well as for him to get to know us. In addition to meeting the two SJWG’s, Anthony met with the Department of Theology & Religious Studies at the University of Otago, an SCM group at the university, and a group at St Paul’s Cathedral. The following month the Dunedin group further developed its relationship with PANDO (Poverty Action Network Dunedin-Otepoti) by co-hosting a PANDO meeting with Anglican Family Care at Dunedin Town Hall on April 28. This was a very fruitful meeting in terms of raising awareness within the PANDO network of the work of the SJWG and Anglican Family Care, as well as an opportunity to try to understand the causes of poverty in our city. It was an important means of making the links between social justice in action and social justice at the level of advocacy. At the end of June (June 30-July 1), two members of the group attended the conference ‘Church and Society after Election 05’ hosted by the Forum of the Christian Left at Wellington Central Baptist Church. This was a good opportunity to network with others around the country involved with justice issues, and to attend workshops on issues such as fair taxation, the environment, and the proposed Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies. Keynote addresses on a variety of issues relating in different ways to social justice will be published in Stimulus in August. The group has been putting time into considering issues raised by prisons and the justice system in Aotearoa New Zealand. In particular, we have prepared a submission concerning the Young Offenders (Serious Crimes) Bill, submitted in early July. We are planning to continue our study of issues relating to the prison system throughout the year and into 2007. Finally, following up on the theological hui held at St John’s College in Auckland last August, members of the group were involved in hosting the visit of Dr Jenny Te Paa, Te Ahorangi o Te Rau Kahikatea, to Dunedin and Invercargill at the end of July (July 28-30). Her visit was a crucial event for making connections between the diocese and national and international issues affecting the Anglican Communion, and for raising awareness about bicultural issues in the Anglican Church in this diocese, issues which urgently need to be worked through. A key aim of the group is to encourage and support the work of social justice in parishes throughout the diocese. To this end, we appeal to all parishes to keep us in touch with the work they are involved with. James Harding Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 84 Appendix 8 Southland Ecumenical Social Justice Group Synod 2006 The Southland Ecumenical Social Justice group is made up of a small but committed group of people who have an interest and passion for issues which make a difference for caring for the earth and its creatures. Supporting and encouraging each other through activities and actions we are involved in, in our various faith communities as well as community based groups, is our main focus. We seek to be informed about current issues, working to make changes at ‘grass roots’ level. Over the past year fewer meetings have been held but networking through informal gatherings, phone calls, emails and conversations around current issues and possible actions as follow up are continuing. Activities members have been involved with over the past year have includedWindsor Permaculture Garden Group- supported by Anglicans with an ecumenical focus as an outreach in to the local community, educating people about other ways to care for the earth. Workshops, seminars, publicity and regular discussions keep the garden in the public eye. Food produced is given to local organisations eg South Centre, Salvation Army. Situated behind Holy Trinity Anglican Church and supported by their Vestry and people, this outreach is appreciated. Gambling – especially the issues around pokies and problem gambling continues to be discussed. The new service in Southland for support for families affected by compulsive gambling has begun tentatively. Te Whenua Awhi, Invercargill Environment Centre continues as a practical method of caring for the earth with members involved on the committee, working as volunteers, doing education sessions for students as well as painting fish on stormwater drains. It is hoped this will raise awareness of the need to keep ‘drains for rain’ only. ‘Sustainable Household’ workshops were held there to encourage people to see their homes in a different light from energy, recycling and cost effectiveness perspectives. 'Busting Waste' column which is printed weekly in the Southland Times to keep recycling and waste minimisation in the public eye was being written by some members on a roster system along with other organisations. It won the Community Award at Environment Southland’s annual event. Submissions to local Council Plans and other regulatory bodies is done regularly by members, related especially to environmental concerns and social issues. ‘White ribbon ‘ breakfast was organised on 25 November 2005 as part of the international movement by men to encourage other men to cease using violence against women and children. The guest speaker from the Women’s Refuge affirmed the need for this, as she recounted the effect this has on the many women and children they endeavour to support. The awareness raising from last year’s event had stimulated one person to make a huge decision to effectively change circumstances in her life with very positive results, she reported. UNIFEM’s Women’s Breakfast, held on International Women’s day on 8 March had Dr Jill Chrisp from Human Rights Commission as guest speaker, speaking on Women’s Voices: ‘Challenges and Choices’. She coordinates national Right to Education and Human Rights Education projects. She is facilitating a regional development process to help realise fundamental human rights on the East Coast of the North Island. It was also international peace day with people encouraged to wear pink ribbons as part of the CODEPINK campaign, involving women saying "NO to War". Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 85 Anthony Dancer, the newly appointed 3 Tikanga Social Justice Commissioner came to Southland over the weekend of Friday 18 to Sunday 20 November 05. He met the ecumenical women’s group, Desert Air on Friday afternoon; Friday night was part of Theological Nest in Winton with Gore Catholic Justice group attending as well; Saturday was a focus for Social Justice issues in Southland, held at Winton with Sat night a social time. Sunday he preached at St Johns.Visits to Permaculture garden at Windsor, Invercargill Environment Centre, Te Whenua Awhi and Korimako Retreat Centre with its Peace garden and organic philosophy were other highlights. Interviews on Southland TV and with Southland Times raised his profile. Creation and Environment (email) Network is an ecumenical and national initiative. It supported a stall around environmental issues at General Synod. A Motion to keep raising awareness around the ACC Principle on ‘Care of Creation’ was passed there. It is hoped to raise awareness of all Faith Communities and individuals to their responsibility around all the aspects of this issue because the matter is URGENT. State Services Commission facilitated a Community Dialogue discussion group around Te Tiriti o Waitangi which happened in Invercargill on Tues 11 April in conjunction with the Treaty 2 U exhibition which had been set up by Te Papa, National Library and SSC and toured the country. A group of 15 people with a diverse range of views was brought together to ‘feel the pulse of Southland’ on where people are at with regard to bicultural issues and in particular Te Tiriti. Earth Charter A member of the group, Sister Judith Robinson is continuing to do seminars and workshops around the Earth Charter across the whole Otago and Southland area. She went to a conference in USA in June around environmental issues and has brought back material for discussion. Other members of the group continue to raise awareness about the Charter at various field days, with stalls, at meetings and with conversation. International Initiatives Another member of the group has been in England, visiting some environmental projects so she can bring ideas back to share. Jenny Campbell Member of the group Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 86 Appendix 9 Youth Affairs Sub Committee (YASC) Synod 2006 When Synod met last year the resourcing of Youth Ministry in the Diocese was in a state of flux. Diocesan Council was in the process of trying to find ways of funding a realistic amount of time for the support of this vital ministry. During 2004-5 we had two part time Children and Family Educators (Beth Griffin and Natalia Yates) and a part time Youth Ministry Educator (Tim Mathis). During 2005, Tim completed his study at Otago University and returned to the USA, Natalia resigned from her position to concentrate on her study. In response to these changes and after further exploration of the financial implications involved in these positions Diocesan Council agreed to one full time appointment with the task of equipping faith communities for Children, Youth and Family ministry. In a nut shell the cost of part time positions is not just equivalent to that portion of a full time position therefore the best stewardship of our financial resources is a single full time appointment. The Youth Affairs Sub Committee agreed to oversee the compilation of a job description, interview process and setting up support structures for the new appointee to the reconstituted position. To facilitate this work we are grateful for the input of David Fielding and Allan Dunbar who willingly shared their expertise . The committee made a recommendation to the Bishop in December 2005 that saw the appointment of Rev’d Beth Griffin as Children, Youth and Family Educator from Feb. 1 st 2006. Beth had already picked up some extra work with Youth after Tim and Natalia resigned. A new committee was set up to act as an oversight group for the work of the CY&F Educator. The role of this group is to provide support and processes of accountability for Beth as she grows into this task. The members of the committee provide feedback from their area of the diocese so that the work being undertaken is grounded in the real needs of parishes. You are probably aware that a large portion of funding for the CY&F position comes from St. John’s College Trust (SJCTB) funds, the committee also oversees the writing of this funding application. Some of the issues we have grappled with in the short time this new role has been in operation are; being clear about the budget when the Diocese and SJCTB operate on different financial years, how to ensure the whole diocese benefits from this work without overspending the travel budget or work hours of the Educator, what arrangements will be necessary when Beth is on parental leave. Over this last year, Mr. Pete Masters has resigned after many years of service on the YASC. Thank you Pete for your optimism, enthusiasm, prayer and hard work on this committee. Also at the beginning of 2006 Ms Mary Little left for a parish in Edinburgh where she is working as an intern as part of the Order of St Stephen. Mary has also been a wonderful advocate for the support of Youth in this diocese. Thank you Mary for your excellent contribution, may this time in Scotland be a time of discovery and blessing for you. Jan Clark Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 87 Appendix 10 Anglican Family Care Synod 2006 Anglican Family Care has completed its first year of its new identity, following the separation of the Anglican Diocese and Methodist Mission on 1st July 2005. We now have a new name, a revised constitution, a Board made up solely of people appointed by the Anglican Diocese, and a new letterhead and logo which are about to be launched. The past year has been an opportunity to strengthen our links with the Anglican parishes and the ongoing support we receive is very much appreciated. We wish to remember Douglas Girvan, who made an enormous contribution to our Board, and we hope that Bishop George recovers and regains his strength - we miss him. Margaret Sykes has joined our Board. Hilary Allison, Chairperson and the Board offer huge support and practical help to the agency as we review our strategic direction and set our priorities for the future. Mereana Roberts, Chair of our Maori Pacific Island Advisory Committee, has maintained a focus on the role of this committee as a subcommittee of our Board. We appreciate the wisdom and experience of this group representing Pacific Island people, Kai Tahu, Maori Women’s Welfare League and Araiteuru Marae Council. Jenny Donaldson, Kaiwhakarite, and Maria Kydd, Pacific Island counsellor are developing their roles as cultural advisors to the staff in the agency, and bring many years of experience and knowledge to this work. Corinne Lukes has been appointed as Manager to Family Start, following Arch Keenan’s move to Wellington in February of this year. We now have a very impressive team of staff well qualified and experienced to work in this very challenging sector. Our rural staff provides essential support to families in remote and isolated areas. Our welfare services, including the foodbank, are in heavy demand, and last Christmas we ran a very successful Combined Foodbank initiative with Presbyterian Support, St Vincent de Paul and Salvation Army, for the third year in a row. The generosity of donations from parishes allows this work to continue. We have two social workers based in Dunedin schools, who have worked closely with Innes McColl and the Wide Horizons programme. Innes received national recognition earlier this year when he received the Kiri Award for his work with children and families. He has recently received the Paul Harris Fellowship award from Dunedin North Rotary for his achievements. The issues of family violence and poverty have been very much in the media this year. The Ministry of Social Development report on services in Dunedin lists low income, debt and social exclusion, complex services to families and youth, creating a stable outlook for people with disabilities and managing the impacts of alcohol abuse and other addictions as the four main themes for attention in our community. It is reassuring that our services to families are well positioned to address the areas which have been identified. We believe our work is effective in addressing the needs of children and families, and we notice an increase in the issues of abuse, neglect and poverty. We have continued our relationship with Child Youth and Family, Methodist Connect, Plunket and others, and in May we visited Otakou Marae. We are reviewing our accommodation needs for the future, to provide a more comfortable work environment for staff. Our team are in good spirits, which were obvious at our Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 88 recent Mid Winter Christmas dinner. The enthusiasm and commitment of the staff are high, and this year Lynne Campbell (21 years 3.11.06) and Maria Kydd (24 years 6.3.06) will both celebrate more than twenty years working for the agency. Well done! Nicola Taylor Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 89 Appendix 11 Archives Committee Synod 2006 I am pleased to present the 2004/6 report of the Diocesan Archives Committee, comprising Mr Alan Edwards (Convenor), Mr Mark Hughes, Mr Don Jamieson and Mrs Val Laing (Secretary). The latter two members have recently resigned; replacements are being sought. The Committee meets as required, particularly to respond to requests for advice on matters relating to historical records. Work continued slowly on the historical Directory of Clergy of the Diocese of Dunedin, commissioned in 2002 from the Rev Michael Blain. Photographs of clergy are being located and scanned, to add to the textual material.

years supporting, encouraging and visiting AAW groups throughout the Diocese. Her input has been considerable and very fruitful for which we are very grateful for these past years of wonderful service. As the new president and very ‘new’ to the Executive I submit parts of her annual report which I have pleasure in presenting. Events that have happened this year through AAW. Luther Movie: This was very successful. It was held at St John’s, Roslyn, Dunedin, over 2 nights with a viewing of the movie and then question and answer time followed by supper. The Vicar of St John’s the Ven Kelvin Wright led the question time segment. Banner Dedication: this was held at the Cathedral during a Sunday service which time was given for this Dedication and the new banner is now hanging for all to see in the Cathedral and it looks wonderful. Weekend Retreat: another very good event. Without the women who come to these it would be a failure and a big thank-you to the women who attend these Retreats. It is not easy for some woman to commit themselves to these kinds of events. The 3 guest speakers; Rev’d Hugh McCafferty , Rev’d Carl SomersEdgar and the Rev’d Rolly Letham did superb jobs and held the interest of everyone there. Our spiritual guidance came from the Ven. Adrianne Stewart. The prayer time, the Spirit of conversation time and the Eucharist service were well thought out with everyone participating, very moving and at time emotional for some. The theme was: to unite in prayer and participate in the mission of the church, which is, as everyone knows the first aim of AAW. AAW Christmas Luncheon: held at Glenfalloch, Dunedin. This was a great success with superb food, great venue and the company of women, wonderful. The exchanging of gifts made it even more special. Central held their AAW Spring Festival service in September and this was well attended by woman throughout the Diocese, wonderful to see. Their guest speakers were brilliant. Dunedin held another Area day in April, which was well attended and very successful. Other things which have happened throughout the year have been:The new Constitutional and Guidelines booklet has been revamped and sent to groups. 500 bookmarks were made and nearly all sold; they will keep forever. Kate’s secretary, Margaret McLanachan became the AAW National Treasurer. Our new Bishop arrived and although Nonie supports us in AAW and attends our Executive meetings we have been unable to have Bishop George’s company so far but in May this was to change. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 94 Diocesan Executive Meetings: we have had 4 meetings in the last 12 months. Kate thanks the Executive team members “You have all been great women to work with and all worked very hard.” New Zealand AAW: Kate attended 2 meetings this year in Wellington and Dunedin. Leadership Roles: this is something that is becoming increasingly more difficult to achieve. We need to be aware of where to from here if leaders are not to be found for positions in AAW. This may be something that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. May we all go on to work together with the help and guidance of God. May our new members on Executive enjoy if half as much as what I have. God’s blessings be with you. Kate Nichol At the May AGM we had the pleasure of Bishop George chairing the day’s proceedings at St Luke’s, Oamaru. Following the meeting when there were not nominations for President we all attended the Eucharist in the church and then had lunch together in the hall. Jennifer King, AAW member of St Andrew’s Maheno put her name forward after nudges from “you-know-who” and was accepted by the gathering and prayed for by Bishop George. To close a very challenging day Bishop George presented a meaningful study of the background and meaning in the Maori language of The Lord’s Prayer. People had traveled from Invercargill, Central Otago, Dunedin and places further south. Our first executive meeting is in July and I look forward to this new challenge in my life ably supported by my husband, secretary, AAW Group and the Dunedin Executive. I thank God for the influence that the First Mothers Union then the AAW has had on my life. We are also looking forward to the AAW National Conference here in Dunedin in September and pray that it will be a time of blessing and friendship for all who attend. Jennifer King Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 95 Appendix 13 Association of Licensed Lay Ministers Synod 2006 Another report has been called for. Another call upon time that is precious. Another moment when the mind has to think back! ISN’T IT GREAT that this opportunity is given for the sharing of and expounding the wonderful things that God is doing in His church through His people? Since the last Synod report the ALLM team has been busy working with Bishop George at chrystalising the process for discerning Lay Ministers and bringing the application forms into line with Statute 36 which was passed at the 2002 Synod. It is good to have these technicalities completed. The Diocesan Day in February was a wonderful time of connectedness. The day focussed on “Connecting with Communities” with Dean David Cappel-Rice setting the scene. We also experienced another form of worship using images on power point music put together by Mary Little. The ALLM is conscious of the time demands on Lay Ministers. Because of this, areas are being innovative and working in with other events being offered. An example of this is in North-East Otago where Lay Minister training is co-joined with the Area Deanery days. As most of the people attending these days are Lay Ministers it made sense to use the time wisely and completely. It is my opinion that in this time of demands we need to look outside the square and draw off other people’s experiences. This sharing and experiencing of God’s work in our lives serves to strengthen us in our faith and so enables us to take the Gospel message out to the communities we live in. This is my last report to Synod for the Association of Licensed Lay Ministers. In April the mantle of responsibility was handed over to Frank Swinney. It is important to me that I take this opportunity to thank all those who have walked with me on this journey while I have been holding the Lay Co-ordinator position. There have been good times, difficult times, sad times, and joyful times. Through all of these times having the surety that God has been involved primarily in the mix as the encourager, comforter and guider has been invaluable. It is to Him that I give my utmost thanks for placing me in a position to learn, understand and know more of his Kingdom as it evolves in Otago/Southland. Alyson Manning Thank you Alyson for your dedication to Lay ministers and the effort you have put in to providing the Diocesan training experiences over the last three years. It has been a difficult time of transition from the old regulations to the new Statute 36. Some confusion still exists regarding the operation of Statute 36 and we hope that given a little time and goodwill its operation will become clearer. The work of the church in its community must benefit. While one Diocesan day a year cannot provide all that is necessary in continuing the development of every lay minister who attends it is an important occasion where we can gather and share our (peculiar) particular gifts with each other There are very few opportunities for Diocesan ministers, lay and ordained to meet. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 96 Because of the diverse nature of each faith community it is important that the Association has the opportunity to enable the training and support that community seeks for its lay ministers. This can only be done if that need is brought to the attention of either the local co-ordinator or myself. Frank Swinney Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 97 Appendix 14 Cathedral Chapter Synod 2006 The Cathedral Chapter has met on four regularly scheduled occasions this past year and one called meeting. As the visual landscape is slowly albeit ever changing at St Paul’s, the Cathedral Chapter is providing guidance and oversight to the work of on going and prospective alterations to the chancel. This guidance and oversight is perhaps appreciated mostly by the “Cathedral Redevelopment Committee” whose task it is to foster and collate ideas from various and sundry groups (cathedral, diocese, city, university, and the like). This committee is involved in the lengthy and consultative process of re-developing the Chancel of St Paul’s as a place of worship and as a centre for civic occasions, and much more. In addition, Chapter is moving towards having a Conservation Plan of St Paul’s undertaken. This plan will enable the Cathedral with future funding for prospective projects and allows Chapter to have a firm grasp on the state of the Cathedral Fabric. It is perhaps misleading to offer a Report of Chapter without saying something about Vestry and the Finance Committee and their respective roles and responsibilities. In the inner workings of St Paul’s, it is exceedingly important that these committees clearly understand their roles and responsibilities. Each committee advises and makes recommendations to the other, again, thus the need to know the respective brief. I will not frame those roles and responsibilities for this document, suffice it to say, Cathedral Committee Life can be complicated. Chapter is also looking at possible renovations to the Cathedral Kitchen and to the Choir Room. These discussions are prompted by a desire to make each space at St Paul’s as welcoming and as “user-friendly” as possible. This year, Chapter bid adieu to two long standing Lay Canons, lain Gallaway, who served over fifty years (including his thirty + years as Diocesan Chancellor) and Gordon Parry, for a decade of service. Lain and Gordon are irreplaceable and their wise counsel and genuine investment in the life of St Paul’s is indisputable. Their records speak for themselves. St Paul’s will honour both lain and Gordon as we make them Companions of St Paul’s at the Cathedral Patronal Festival on 13 August. It would be remiss of me to write this report without mentioning the Cathedral Staff and that enormous list of volunteers who make St Paul’s work as well as it does. And I wish to thank the Diocesan Clergy who take services and thank you to you all for responding to the service and work of this Mother Church. We look forward to continuing to serve you, the Diocese of Dunedin (Otago/Southland) in the days ahead. The Very Rev’d D. Cappel Rice Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 98 Appendix 15 Christian World Service’s Synod 2006 We believe that the provision and enjoyment of the basic necessities for living a decent, just and humane life is the will of God for all humankind. CWS Purpose statement Anglicans have always been strong supporters of the ecumenical work of CWS ever since Archbishop West-Watson launched the National Council of Churches first Christmas Appeal in 1945. Over 60% of Anglican parishes support CWS’s annual Christmas Appeal, and many of you also support the work of CWS either by being regular donors or by contributing to our emergency and @world appeals. Thank you for this loyal support, we are truly grateful and we could not continue our work without it. In a world where international events and decisions have an immediate impact, it is important that New Zealand churches have an international ecumenical presence. A presence that contributes with other international ecumenical agencies to overcoming poverty and injustice: by supporting development work; by adding to the Christian voice in international advocacy; and by campaigning, advocacy and education in New Zealand. CWS provides that presence. Your much appreciated assistance helps CWS meet its objectives each year. Some highlights of 2005-2006 include: Fair Trade Fortnight: CWS promoted the annual Fair Trade Fortnight in May as part of its campaign for just trade rules. Over 90 churches held a ‘fair cuppa’ Fair Trade morning tea. The response was extremely positive. CWS is now working with Trade Aid to provide Fair Trade Church certificates for parishes making a permanent switch to fair trade tea, coffee, and sugar – thereby providing producers in developing countries a fair price and benefits, like health and education services, for their communities. Wipe Out Poverty Week: The 2005 youth fundraiser drew more support than ever before, with some new initiatives including art auctions, sponsored church sleepovers, and youth groups selling breakfast to Sunday morning congregations. Response to emergencies: The past year has been another difficult year for vulnerable communities affected by disasters. CWS ran appeals for the Pakistan Earthquake, the Yogyakarta (Indonesia) earthquake, East African drought, the Timor crisis, Hurricane Stan (Central America) and the Zimbabwe clearances and is grateful for the generous response to these appeals. Working through ACT International (Action by Churches Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 99 Together), a global alliance of churches and church agencies providing humanitarian relief, as well as its own local partners, CWS can be confident that the funding is reaching people in need, that affected communities have a say in their own relief and reconstruction, and that everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Educational Resources: CWS makes free resources available for individuals and groups wanting to understand more about the causes of global poverty and appropriate ways to take action against poverty. Many are designed for church audiences and over the last year have included Youth Topics (for 12-17 year olds) on sweat shop labour, and on education; World Watch (for 5-12 year olds) on Nicaragua and the Solomon Islands; and the Video/DVD Study on HIV and AIDS in Uganda. CWS also produced the Churches’ Agency on International Issues (CAII) Hot Topic on the War on Terror. Worship materials were written on the Make Poverty History campaign, Fair Trade, Refugees and Displaced Persons, and World Food Day. Campaigns: CWS has continued to lead Jubilee Aotearoa, the campaign to cancel the unjust debt of the world’s poorest countries. Sustained global pressure led to the introduction of the Multilateral Debt Reduction Initiative by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in 2006. This will make a significant difference for poor people in the 19 countries who will immediately benefit. It will enable countries like Zambia to spend more on much needed health and education programmes. CWS is grateful for the support of New Zealand churches in these efforts. CWS has also been active with other agencies in the Make Poverty History campaign around a platform arguing for trade justice, to drop the debt, more and better aid, and an end to child poverty in Aotearoa New Zealand; and the Point 7 campaign to increase New Zealand aid spending to internationally agreed levels. CWS has also advocated over human rights issues in countries of concern. In addition to promoting Fair Trade Fortnight, CWS has continued to campaign for fairer international trade rules. VASS Review: In 2005/6 CWS was reviewed by NZAID under the auspices of the Voluntary Agency Support Scheme (VASS), by which the organisation receives a 4 for 1 subsidy for partner groups. CWS was found to be in full compliance with the requirements of the government and the development community. In addition, the reviewers noted they were impressed with the strong learning and participatory and cooperative structure of the organisation as a whole. They also felt CWS paid significant attention to, and had a greater understanding of, the context in which their partners work than most agencies and that this was an excellent example to others. CWS Partners: For many countries in which CWS partners work it has been a difficult year of political, social and often violent upheaval (eg: Uganda, Sudan, Timor Leste, Sri Lanka, Palestine). Despite this, CWS partners have not only survived but carried out creative work to improve the lives of their communities. Some particular highlights include: increased funding for women’s development in Tonga; a new funding partnership in Zimbabwe (where a women’s film making trust is working with communities to produce educational videos about their own problems and solutions); Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 100 the enthusiasm for peace in South Sudan as young people organise massive meetings to educate about HIV and AIDS, education for girls, and peace building; the expansion of Fedwe’s work in India following tsunami relief work, where strong and articulate groups of women Dalits have been formed to fight discrimination and improve their livelihoods and community services. Diamond anniversary: 2005 marked 60 years of CWS taking action against poverty on behalf of the churches. Reflecting on CWS’s work of the last six decades it is clear that much has changed in the context of global poverty and injustice and in the type of response needed. What has remained a constant is the strong connection that Anglicans have with CWS. CWS thanks you very much for this support and looks forward to what this continuing relationship can achieve in the future. Jonathan Fletcher Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 101 Appendix 16 Cursillo: Lay Director’s Report Synod 2006 Secretariat meets about once a month as does Servant community. Although we have had a bit of a patchy start to this year with Servant community people not always being available. Women’s 4 was held in Gore. 29 Septcmber-2 October, with 22 new Cursillistas being welcomed at the combined Eucharist and Clausura at which Bishop George presided. Anne Gover was the lay director and Cushla McMillan was the senior spiritual for the three clays. Bill Schroeder prepared a prayer vigil list on line, to cover the weekend with instructions that arc very clear and easy to follow. Those not on e-mail and who cannot access through any other Cursillistas can write directly to Bill with their preferred times and he will enter them on the list. We had a weekend Ultreya held at Selwyn College on November 26/27.lt was a very enjoyable time together. The main planning for the weekend was done by women and the teaching at the Ultreya was done by’ the men.., they laid down some challenges for us, one being what are the men of the Diocese going to do to promote the particular gifts and needs of men in Cursillo and our Diocese? We plan to work on this in the second part of this year. We held an Ultreya in Cromwell on March 4 Cromwell Cursillistas made us all very welcome, It is always great to get together to encourage and support each other. Newsletters arc circulated to Cursillistas each month and we also encourage Cursillistas to subscribe to Kiwi Cursillo. We did have our own magazine but that has not been published since February last year. As we have our monthly newsletters there is really no need for a magazine as well. SECRETARIAT Dianne Lawlor left for a ness life in Australia and her place as registrar/treasurer has been filled by Mignon Pickwell. Keith Kendall served his time as Cursillo/Fourth day convenor and Diana Mattingly has stepped into his shoes. Joy Turner-Heaton completed her time as Pastoral Care convenor and Rachael Ashby has agreed to take over that role. Cyril Ashby has written a series of articles for Southern See, our Diocesan magazine, about CursiIlo which have been very good. Cursillo II (for men and women) was held at Holy Cross in Mosgiel at Queen’s Birthday’ weekend. Elisabeth Cunningham was the 3 day lay-director and Kelvin Wright the Senior Spiritual Adviser Team, cooks and 24 pilgrims arrived on a sparkling day and a great weekend was had. There were a lot of tired but happy people that went home on Monday! Pending. A Diocesan Ultreya is being held at St John’s Roslvn July 1 5th.Rose Scott is chairing this. A National Ultreya is being held in Palmerston North from Friday 29 September to Sunday October 1st. All Cursillistas arc invited to attend. A Diocesan Ultreya is to be held in [ November I 8 Two 3 day Cursillo planned for 2007, at Holy cross, Mosgiel. Molly Fulton has accepted the position of 3 day lay director for a Cursillo for women at Queen’s birthday weekend next year and a Cursillo for men is scheduled to be held at Labour weekend lest year. Edith McLeod. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 102 Appendix 17 Hospital Chaplaincy – Central Otago Synod 2006 The year which finished at the end of June has not been an easy one for hospital chaplaincy. In April 2005, the Council received advice from Presbyterian Support and the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin that the endowment funds set up to support hospital chaplaincy were no longer able to provide much in the way of financial support. In previous years these two funds had provided around $90,000 between them which, with the money which came from government sources, was sufficient to keep chaplaincy services running at an appropriate level. This meant that there was no culture of fundraising in the Council; there was simply no need to do so. More recently, contributions from the Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust [which had been providing $20,000 annually] ceased from 30 June 06. The withdrawal of the funding came at a time when government funding was also being restructured on a population based formula. Government, through the Ministry of Health, now provides about ¼ of the necessary funding and expects each District Health Board to provide a further ¼, leaving one half to be raised by the community and the churches. The Otago District Health Board commenced the provision of a three year grant of $37,000 annually at 1 July 2005. In February this year we were advised by our treasurer that unless money could be raised quickly there would be no funds whatsoever available by February 2007, leaving us in an impossible situation until the beginning of the next financial year in July. The shortfall amounted to around $70,000 if we were to maintain our current level of service. The Council took urgent steps to redress the situation. Just before Christmas we approved funding for a part-time fundraiser and appointed Amanda Guy, our part-time Administrator. Mrs Guy, the wife of a Presbyterian minister, began her new role in January and took to it enthusiastically. Of course, raising money takes time and an awful lot of effort. A street appeal was organised for June and raised around $12,000. Applications to some charitable trusts have been unsuccessful because the rules of some trusts do not allow support either for religious organisations or for the payment of salaries. However, a recent appeal to the Lotteries Board has been successful and we are continuing to search for possible sources of funds. In addition there have been appeals to the churches. These have had varying success, with some churches pledging ongoing support and others making donations. Sixteen churches, about half of them Anglican, have contributed. Another effective project was a concert organised through St Peter’s Caversham. Donation boxes have also been placed in supportive shops in Dunedin and Mosgiel. The total raised to the end of the June year was just under $40,000. This may sound pretty good; but the money raised includes a substantial sum from the Association of Presbyterian Women who made Hospital Chaplaincy their project for the 05-06 year. It also needs to be born in mind that fundraising will have to be continual unless some sort of guaranteed funding (such as from an endowment fund) becomes available. The effect of uncertain funding will almost certainly mean changes in levels of service. Currently, Chaplains are on a three year service agreement and all service agreements come up for renewal early next year. Service agreements of this length will not be able to continue without sustainable funding and it is likely to prove very difficult to attract chaplains without a guarantee of employment of a reasonable duration. A further cloud on the horizon is the proposed introduction of a common stipend for all hospital chaplains Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 103 throughout the country. Chaplains are currently remunerated at the level of individual denominational stipends and the introduction of a common stipend will undoubtedly increase costs to the Council. On a positive note, this year has seen the appointment of the Revd Maureen Martin, an Anglican deacon, as part-time Maori Chaplain. The ecumenical team for which the Council is responsible now consists of one full-time chaplain and 2 part-time chaplains; there are also about a dozen unpaid chaplaincy assistants. Roman Catholics are served by a part-time Roman Catholic chaplain, funded separately. In summary, the Council has worked hard and with some success in the past twelve months. However, the future is still very uncertain and will remain that way until there is some certainty of funding. John Burton Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 104 Appendix 18 Kakanui Diocesan Crib Synod 2006 Accommodation over the past year was given to visitors on 161 nights, which is a slight increase over the average for the last five years ( 152). Over this period our suggested charge had been $40 per night for 2 people and $2.50 for each extra person . Due to increased costs we have now raised the extra person charges to $5.00 per child and $10.00 for adults, while keeping the $40 per night charge the same. We believe the crib still gives good value with its near- beach location and as a centre for North Otago venues. We have been fortunate in receiving various upgrades in the crib furnishings this year. These include 6 upholstered dining chairs, 3 comfortable armchairs, matching crockery for 8 people and some curtaining. The exterior of all buildings, including roofs, have been repainted (with two coats). This was last carried out in October/November 1996. The mulching mower is proving very successful although a new engine had to be purchased due to an accident with a partly buried fencing stake. Boundary trees and shrubs have been severely trimmed and fencing repaired, thus eliminating any further hazards to mowing.

Neil & Nonie Rooney Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 105 Holding Hands Appendix 19 Overseas Mission Committee Synod 2006 “Making a world of difference” The Biblical picture in my mind, at this time, is the “Widow’s Mite”. Mark 12:42 Her giving is often quoted to me as if it represents the giving of the small Communities. I guess it is a way of their justifying the smallness of the gift they have to give. My feeling is that this is a foolish biblical misinterpretation. Christ’s caring Mission for the World “foolish” in that there is no need to justify to me or anyone the gift for our overseas partners. They are very grateful for any gift of any size as it represents, for them, the love and thoughts they imagine accompanies that gift. The average Anglican family gives ½ c a day to Anglican Missions so any increase would have a considerable effect. I feel the passage is “misinterpreted” because Jesus was certainly not advocating small giving. The widow was “singled out” because her gift was her “everything”, not just the “left overs” as the others gave. As I would doubt that any Parish in the Diocese budgets for Mission above their budget for their own survival, I don’t think any group has the right of comparison with “the widow”. The nearest we have to that claim would be the five ladies of Mataura who gave so well last year. Their action put the Gore Parish Target into the Diocesan top Parishes. You couldn’t get a much smaller group – nor one more dedicated to missions. The most important point of all this discussion is that this Diocese, with all its struggles, cares and respects the poorest of the overseas Anglican Church Communion. We would all agree that we don’t give enough – but we still hold them as a priority. For this you are praised. This year, thanks to the generosity of Emirates Air, Adrienne and I returned to England, where, as Chair of the Missions Board, I again “linked” with USPG, CMS, PNGCP. (all English Mission Support groups). The remainder of our time was as a vacation. Visitors to the Diocese: Adrienne and I have attended a few Parish areas and are always willing to be invited to others. As a member of the Anglican Missions Board I am kept reasonably informed. We are also very fortunate in having a reasonable number of Mission visitors. These are always snatched up for Sunday but difficult to place during the week. A quick reply when an offer is made gets best result. As we cant expect missionaries on furlough to zoom all over the Diocese, I usually follow a flow pattern to ease their travel and our costs. AMB Target for 2004 was $52,000 and we achieved $64,498 = 24% over Target. And almost $10,000 above the 2004 achievement. A real thank you to all of you, especially the 27 parishes who met or bettered their target. Top 10 “percentage” parishes were : 1st. Gore-Mataura, 298%, ($7,570.00) 2nd. Kurow, 215%, ($215), 3rd. Western Southland, 212%, ($750) 4th. Caversham, 175%, ($1009) 5th Maheno, 157%, ($837) 6th. Wyndham, 134%, ($1002) 7th. Green Island, 129%, ($1680) 8th. Oamaru, 123%, ($3280) 9th. Upper Clutha, 122%, ($898) 10th. Brockville, 116%, ($200) The Total given from these was $17,876 approx 30% of the Diocesan Target. A great effort. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 106 Top 10 “giving” parishes were. 1st. Gore-Mataura, $7570, (298%) 2nd. Roslyn $7,276 (101%) 3rd. Cathedral, $6,633, (107%) 4th St Matthews, $6,465, (96%) 5th. Wakatipu, $4,320.00, (113%) 6th Oamaru, $3,280, (123%) 7th. Balclutha, $2,880, (101.13%) 8th Invercargill, $2,723, (114%). 9th. Taieri, $1,800, (53%) 10th. North Invercargill, $1,729, (115%). A Total of $43,478 approx 85% of the Diocesan Target. How important this group is to our giving. Eastern Zambia: Likewise our giving to Eastern Zambia was $3,792.35 only 60% of 2004; this included our appeal for Seed. From this seed was supplied to Eastern Zambia at prices they could afford. This is an amazing gift to one of the poorest Anglican Diocese. Thanks to Balclutha, Caversham, Mornington, North Invercargill, Oamaru AAW, Waimea Plains, and Winton AAW. Bishop, William Muchombo, has already expressed his gratitude and his hope to build self sufficiency for his Diocese. Our Committee: is one that doesn’t meet but continues to work in our own Parish units.

Acknowledgement: I feel that we, as a Diocese should acknowledge with thanks all the Parishes who met their target for the 2005 year. I thank you all for your support and indicate my willingness, as far as possible, to be available to your Parish. I have available a DVD on the work being done by the NZ church overseas and recommend that you keep at least some time during the year to focus on the world mission. I am continually amazed by the importance that our Provinces place upon the overseas provinces. Canon Chris Rodgers Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 107 Appendix 20 Selwyn College Synod 2006 Board Membership The Bishop, Mr R.J M Sim(Chairperson) Mr Bernie Crayston (Secretary), The Very Rev’d David Rice, Rev’d’s V Galletly, LM Warburton (Warden) Mrs A Barsby, Messrs L F Dey, C.J Doudney, J. Harraway, J. Kevany, Prof J. Moorfield, Dr J. Jerram. Report The Board is confident that Selwyn continues to be seen as one of New Zealand’s most successful University Colleges, and places at the College certainly continue to be in very high demand, particularly from North of Dunedin. The high level of applications allows us to choose residents carefully, and Selwyn students typically achieve very well academically, culturally and on the sports field. The University itself has recently affirmed the Residential Colleges as a unique feature of studying at Otago, and several of the University owned Halls of Residence have changed their name fro “Hall” to “College” as their emphasis moves from being just a place to stay, to a full collegiate community. This move affirms the existing culture of Selwyn as something to which others aspire. Over the year the Board commissioned an external consultant to review the College’s buildings and the potential redevelopment of the present site. It is vital that our facilities are maintained and that we plan for the future. Present demand highlights the possibility for expanding the size of the College, and doing so could greatly assist the financial viability of the College. Any such move to increase would have to be carefully considered as one of our advantages is being a small and supportive community. The Alumni programme continues with successful reunions in Auckland and London held in past year. The Newsletter has been an important tool in contacting Alumni, keeping them in touch with present College life and each other. Plans for a Selwyn College Foundation are well advanced, with the intention being to ensure that the College has a good funding base for its future operations, and for development. Plans are being made for the promotion of the Foundation among Alumni in the near future, with a high quality brochure just published. Selwyn College, Cambridge Choir visit the College last year. Afternoon tea was followed by a joint evensong in the Cathedral. An outcome of this visit was an increased awareness of the historical links between the colleges and a commitment to develop these further. In June this year two of the College’s Fellows, Dr Tony Fitchett, Mr Simon Moore together with the Warden were guests of Selwyn College, Cambridge. All Saints remains as a strong point of contact with the diocese. The church itself of course forms part of our Quad, and is used for College services ably led by the Reverend Tim Hurd who is a good friend of the College. Student life continues to be vibrant and busy with Cameron Shield and Neville Cup events with Knox College, and the annual sports and cultural exchange with College House, Christchurch . Both Knox and College House are longstanding rivals with the Cups and Shield keenly competed for. The Selwyn College Students Association does a superb job at organising the many social, cultural and sporting events. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 108 Appendix 21 Leslie Groves Report Synod 2006 Being involved in the Aged Care sector provides on-going challenges and rewards. Funding continues to be an issue which does not get resolved to the satisfaction of providers, and restricts development of physical facilities, and the ability to match salaries with those in the public sector or pay what we consider our staff are really worth. Leslie Groves exited from providing Home Support care this year, with compliance costs, inadequate Government funding and the size of our service making it not viable to continue. Fortunately, staff quickly found employment and most took their clients with them, so continuity of care was ensured. The Rest Home, Hospital and Day Centre continue to provide quality care for residents, patients and clients, with all enjoying a wide range of activities, entertainment and outings to meet their physical, social and emotional needs. There is a stable workforce, particularly at the Rest Home, and three carers received recognition last year at the Christmas party of 20+ years of employment with Leslie Groves. The Board was successful in obtaining grants this year enabling the purchase of a new van which accommodates more passengers and more wheelchairs than the old one, which was well past its use-by date. The new van was blessed at a 10am service at St John’s Church in June. The Ministry of Health has changed its requirements for the care of the young physically disabled, so the Board is currently looking into the effects of these on our own facility for the young in Ferntree. Board members, Betty Cull, Stephen Grant, Vin Maffey, Cohn McLeod, Beverley Rowlands, Margaret Sykes, Brian Tegg and Kelvin Wright give generously and tirelessly of their time and energy to ensure that the name Leslie Groves is synonymous with “best quality care”. Elisabeth Cunningham Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 109 Appendix 22 Parata Anglican Charitable Trust Report 2006 The Trustees have met formally seven times in the last 12 months and several times informally as the need arose. Undoubtedly the highlight of the year for Parata was the completion of the building programme at a total cost of $1,830,000. The end result is a modern up to date complex very much appreciated by both the residents and staff. Mention must be made of the Dunedin Diocese, Vickery Trust and Mataura Licensing Trust who all contributed financially. Without their generous support the project could not have taken place. A dedication service was held in early December led by Bishop George, thoroughly enjoyed by all. A lot of work was carried out by the Trustees involving used chattels etc during the refurbishments. These were sold off at Auction realising $8.500. - a most worthwhile result. During the year an opportunity arose to purchase 62 Broughton St. After a lot of discussion it was decided to purchase the property. This has been done allowing access to the coal bunker through Broughton Street. It is also being used to provide a parking area for the bus as well as staff vehicles. A contract has been let to provide a lean-to garage for the bus. This should be completed within the next few weeks. Again we acknowledge the P.H. Vickery Trust who generously funded half the purchase price of the property. We have had another very sound year financially. The Day Centre hasn’t been achieving the support we would like but hopefully will improve this coming year. In concluding this report l would like to make special mention of our gratitude and appreciation to all of our Staff. It wasn’t easy at times with the disruption of the rebuilding, putting up with noise - dust etc, but to their credit they got on with the job enthusiastically and successfully. I would like to thank fellow Trustees for their work and support throughout the past year. R.A Smith Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 110 Appendix 23 South Centre Anglican Care Synod 2006 South Centre Anglican Care over the past year has again successfully provided supportive and educational services to the people of Invercargill and Districts. A strategic planning workshop held earlier this year with Board and staff identified an increasing need to expand our services to youth, and in line with this now contract with Child Youth and Family, to provide therapeutic intervention for those youth who have already offended, but for whom through education and support, may be guided to reverse their personal circumstances. This services works with the individual on a one to one basis and involves developing a recreation component. The aim is to give the individual positive choices for the use of their free time, and also includes a self-esteem component. It is proving very successful. We have also worked within 3 schools providing group workshops focusing on self esteem and positive use of free time, and have requests from other areas for this programme also. The strategic planning session also identified capacity issues relating to our existing building. We are unable to physically house more staff in our building and of course we need to more staff to cope with the increase in referrals to our services.The Board are currently pursuing options to address this situation. We continue to experience the generosity and support of our Parishes and are extremely grateful for the many forms this support takes. Our funding base remains stable for which we are also very appreciative of this. As an Anglican Social Service Agency we participate fully in two national organisations – Anglican Care Network and New Zealand Council of Christian Social Service. The benefits of belonging to both of these organisations are huge, in particular training opportunities and the advantage NZCCSS provides in enabling us to combine with the other major Church Social Service Providers to lobby Government on issues facing our areas of work.South Centre continues to be part of the Southland Foodbank. There has been no noticeable increase in the number of food parcels distributed over the past year, but it is pleasing to note the increase of foodbank client referrals to budget advisors and other help services. Judith Petersen Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 111 Appendix 24 Takitimu Home Anglican Care Trust Synod 2006 I have pleasure in presenting my first Chairman’s Report for a year that has proved to be a very busy one for Board Members and Staff alike. During the Year Mr Don Matheson chose to resign from the Takitimu Trust Board, We hope to fill this vacancy in the near future. In May 2005 Lois Pemberton after 15 years as Manager advised the Board that she would retire in October. It was with regret that the board accepted her resignation. The Board employed consultants to short list the applicants for the Managers position and following the interviews we employed Emma Smith Registered Nurse. Emma commenced her employment in October 2005 after a settling in time with Lois. A Presentation Function to farewell Lois in Recognition of her rule as Manager was attended by Board Members as well as a number of past Members. During the year the planning discussions for the upgrade of Takitimu have continued at a steady rate. After numerous meetings with Diocesan Staff Members agreement was reached on level of Grants and Loans. P.H Vickery Charitable Trust has agreed to assist with funding for the upgrade. The Board now feels it is in a position to proceed with the upgrade. Oakley and Gray architects are completing the plans for tender. In January of 2006 we had Mr Peter Wards C.E.O. of PSS address the board on common interests of aged care, Planning for the future, and presenting some interesting statistics of’ future trends. In February this year Our Board held a planning Meeting reviewing and reaffirming decisions already made and looking to the future of Takitimu. As a result some investigations are still on going, With the appointment of Emma as Manager the Board has decided to employ an Administration Officer to assist with the volume of paperwork now involved with Aged Care. Lionel has decided to relinquish his role as Accountant for Takitimu and his position will now be filled by the Public Trust Accountants. Lionel will continue to oversee Board Finances. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lionel on behalf of the board for the tremendrous job he has done over the years. Our thanks also to Lois (past Manager) Emma Manager her wonderful staff and volunteers for your care and attention to the Residents of Takitimu. Our thanks to Rev. David Griffin and other visiting clergy for the continuing pastrol care to our residents. In conclusion I would like to thank the trust Board Members for their support and input during the year in maintaining Takitimu in sound financial position. RJ.Palmer Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 112 Appendix 25 The Home of St Barnabas Trust Synod 2006 It is with pleasure that the Home of St. Barnabas Trust present this report to Synod. This year the Trust celebrated 50 years of service provided by the Home and while this has been a time of reflection the Board and Management have been proactively looking to the future. A feasibility study has been commissioned to look at several options for the redevelopment of the existing site. In the present environment with an ageing population and unclear political strategy for managing this it was important that whatever options the Trust peruses have been well researched and provide future-proofing for the security of the Trust. The Trust wish to thank the Diocesan Council for a grant of $10,000 to enable this study to proceed. Through the continuing proactive governance of the Board and the good stewardship of the Management Team we have maintained our profile and position as a provider of quality care, both residential care and in our community meal service. Once again we are able to report that we achieved an operational surplus for the year ended 31st March 2006. Within our residential services we have continued to adjust to and meet the challenges of the changing government and legislative focus. We have been very proactive in advocating with other providers at both a local level with the District Health Board and nationally through our membership with the New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services. There continues to be a lot of time spent in complying with the regulatory and legislative requirements. At the operational level we responded to providing more, short stay, semi acute care and palliative care and we achieved 95.58% occupancy for the past year. To assist us in the provision of care the Otago Masonic Charitable Trust provided $3,000 for an Electric Ultra Low bed and mattress. We are privileged to provide service and care to our residents and to celebrate special occasions with them. The highlight for the year was the celebration of Miss Stokes 100th birthday. This year we were once again very grateful for the work and support provided from the Friends of St. Barnabas. Without their support and involvement we would not have been able to have had such a successful 50th Anniversary celebrations. Later in the year the Friends of St. Barnabas also celebrate their 50th anniversary and residents, staff, management and the Board take this opportunity to thank the Friends and ask that Parishes continue to promote involvement in the work of the Friends as this is an invaluable resource for maintaining community involvement for the residents. The continued involvement in the life of the Diocese is an important component of care for our residents and we say thank you to Rev Carl Somers Edger as Chaplain and to Bishop George for his support and encouragement. The ongoing community involvement with the Home has been enhanced over the last year with the number and range of groups and activities offered. While there are too many groups to name individually we take this opportunity to say thank you for the pleasure provided to our residents. This year we were able to purchase a van for residents outings and we say a special thank you to the staff and the Friends of St. Barnabas who initially started the fundraising project and a grant of $5,000 from the New Zealand Lion Foundation completed the fundraising. The ongoing maintenance and development of the Home continues to be a challenge and during the last year we completed the refurbishment of the dining room, foyer and front lounge. We say thank you to the Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 113 Friends of St. Barnabas for the gift of a Peter Morath print of the Kawarau Bridge for the dining room. We also thank the NZ Community Trust for $4,000 and the Alexander McMillan Trust for $3,500 for the purchase of the new dining room furniture. To start the fundraising for the future redevelopment project we received a $1,000 donation from the Van Dyk family. Our Meals on Wheels service continues to provide an essential service in helping to maintain the elderly at home. The quality of the meals and increased promotion has seen us regularly exceed a 100 meals per day and an active client base of 164. Over time we develop a relationship with our clients and it is with sadness that during the year we said farewell to a number of clients. We continue to be supported through our association with Age Concern who co-ordinate our volunteer drivers. We take this opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers, New Zealand Post Couriers and our staff for their effort in all weathers to ensure the meals are delivered. The catering for parish and community group functions continues to provide additional revenue and helps the residents to maintain community contact. As an integral part of the family our staff continue to provide quality care and maintain a friendly welcoming atmosphere. We especially acknowledge and say thank you for the extra contribution that staff have made throughout the year. We value your ongoing support. We thank those who have left during the year for their contribution and wish them well for the future. The ongoing contribution to the well being and success of the Trust through proactive governance and voluntary effort by the Board members is invaluable and we would urge parishes to proactively promote nominations for Trustees when these are circulated. We welcome Simon Claver as a new Trustee appointed by All Saints Parish. This year Murray Tyrrell retired from the Board but continues to serve on the Development Sub Committee. It was with pleasure that during our 50th Anniversary celebrations we were able to acknowledge over twenty years service by Murray Tyrrell to the Home. During the year we were saddened by the death of three past Board members Joe Crowther, Canon Teal and Pip Jacombs. The Management Team and Staff express their thanks for the support received from the Board over the past year. Shirley Hennessy Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 114 Appendix 26 Southland Hospital Chaplaincy Service Synod 2006 Southland Hospital has its Chaplaincy Service provided by three part-time chaplains – Rev. Peggy Peek, Rev. Judy Johnston, and Father Brian Dougherty. At the beginning of the year we regretfully fare welled Canon Miki Thompson, who has transferred to Princess Margaret hospital in Christchurch. Peggy was commissioned as Maori chaplain by Bishop John Gray on 25 th May to replace Miki. The service was held in the lecture theatre in the community services building as a large number attended, and the chapel could not accommodate so many. Judy was deaconed in Dunedin by Bishop George in November, but her priesting, which was to have been at All Saints Invercargill in June has been delayed due to the Bishop’s health. The chaplains at Southland Hospital cover all areas – Mental Health, Accident and Emergency, Children’s Ward, the Maternity Unit, Intensive Care, Medical and Surgical Units, and the Rehabilitation Service. Chaplains provide care for patients and staff. Regular prayer fellowship is held on Tuesday lunch hour, and the Mental Health Unit is visited by Peggy on Mondays, Judy on Thursdays, and Father Brian as requested. The small hospital chapel was opened up on Christmas Day for an ecumenical service, which was well attended. Regular Sunday services were discontinued when the full time chaplain position ceased. A special service was held on International Nurses day at the cenotaph for nursing staff to remember those who had given service with the forces. As well as visiting patients the chaplains provide room blessings, prayers, the sacraments as requested, an occasional baptism or marriage service, and funerals when the family have no other church connection. A 24hr service is available, and a chaplain can be contacted by pager at all times. Funding remains a major issue and this will urgently need to be addressed before funds run out in 2007 if the service is to continue as it is at present. Chaplains have regular supervision, and are actively involved with continuing education. An excellent two days of training were provided by ICHC in May, and attended by all three chaplains. Our vision, and mission were explored, and we were challenged with ways in which we could make the chaplaincy service more visible within the hospital, and also to increase our community networking. We are grateful for the support we have received and hope to be able to continue this vital ministry. Rev’d Judy Johnson Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 115 Appendix 27 Southland Tertiary Chaplain’s Report 2006 Synod Where Everybody is Somebody” The Southland Tertiary Chaplain is employed by the Southland Tertiary Chaplaincy Charitable Trust Board. The Anglican Church continues to take an active role. Presently Revs. Guus Lukkien and David Griffin sit on the Board as your representatives. In brief, the chaplaincy went from a part time to full time position in June 2004 with the main task of establishing a strong and consistence presence at the Southern Institute of Technology, the Dunedin College of Education Invercargill Campus on Nelson Street and the Community College in the Menzie’s Building, Invercargill. The future goal is to extend the ministry to other Southland tertiary education institutions. Over 15,000 students and staff both full and part time have access to the Chaplain. The Chaplain is often the one person with the time to listen to people’s concerns in a busy world where time is measured by quantitative productivity, deadlines and the ability to balance all areas of one’s life without a problem (Statistically, the average is three to five significant contacts daily (1000+ annually) plus casual contacts). A bright green pen with “Where Everybody is Somebody”, the chaplaincy motto and contact details on it, is given to individuals who the chaplain meets and spends time with. This is more practical than a “business card.” The chaplaincy is not about “business” but rather about presence, meeting people in their sacred space and walking with them in their journey, leaving them with hope and the knowledge that they are a unique gifted person called to be all that they can be. Students and staff have all sorts of issues which cause stress, discouragement and sometimes they just want to quit. Many seek to talk with someone in confidence to sort out a situation and be encouraged, to refocus, to think outside the square and find meaning in their life. The efficacy value comes from seeing a student/staff member going forward with renewed hope, inner strength and renewed energy for the challenges at hand. Secondary to being a Christian presence on Campus, the Chaplain: *leads times of worship, prayer, blessings, memorial services, funerals and weddings *participates in and with students in courses, groups, social and learning activities *liaises with the churches to assist those who seek to join a faith community within the city, *co-operates in the work and support services offered by the educational institutions ie nurses, counsellors *is aware of the special needs and adjustment issues of the international students and works to build strong relationships with this group. With that in mind the chaplain is an active member of the Multi-Nations Association and maintains a continued connection with the ESOL Home Tutoring Scheme. Many international tertiary students and staff are involved in these organisations and are pleased to meet the chaplain in the community. *participates in and co-operates with the activities of the campus Maori and Pacific Island groups *leads worship, gives addresses in faith communities in Southland, promoting the work of the STCCTB. The educational sector welcomes the chaplaincy at all levels and values the work of the chaplaincy. The work of the chaplaincy can assist in the retention of students. The institutions supply the facilities for the Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 116 students to access the chaplain, to walk among people within the institutions. The chaplain is a member of the Aotearoa New Zealand Tertiary Chaplaincy Association, the Federation of Graduate Women and has connections with Tertiary Chaplain Ministry Association of Australia. These memberships provide support, updates in current issues and resources, professional and spiritual development and on- going dialogue with other chaplains. The Chaplain is actively involved with her own faith community. November 22-25, 2007 The Aotearoa New Zealand Tertiary Chaplain’s Association National Conference and the Annual General Meeting of the Inter-church Tertiary Chaplaincy Council will be hosted by the Board and the Chaplain in Invercargill - Theme: Walking Alone—Together. (More later) Feed back from communities of faith and the tertiary sector has been positive, supportive and appreciated. The commitment of support at all levels has been generous. The many words and messages of support do not go without notice. Christ ministered to people one on one. That is the pastoral model of the tertiary chaplain. It is one person at a time who seeks out a word, a listening ear, a request for a prayer etc. With your support We walk humbly with our God in this ministry. Together we give witness that life has meaning; there is hope, that each person is called to live fully, to enjoy the blessings of life and to experience its joys and inner peace. Lisa Stuart Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 117 Appendix 28 St Hilda’s Collegiate School – Principals Report Synod 2006 Such is a quotation from Albert Einstein which relates to our 16 and final Habit of Mind, ‘Remaining open to continuous learning’. Of course this habit is particularly pertinent as we fares our Year 13 students who have now completed their five years of secondary schooling and are leaving well equipped to face the challenges of learning beyond school. The St Hilda’s Thinking Programme for 2005 has focused on learning about and discussing Art Costa’s 16 Habits of Mind... two of which I believe are especially relevant to developing resilience as learners……. Finding Humour and Responding with Wonderment and Awe. What a colourless world we would live in if we were not able to develop these two attitudes. 2005 has been another successful \ear for St Hilda students in academic, cultural and sporting pursuits. Data collected indicates that 95 of our students ‘sere involved with the school’s co-curricular programme which is a key indicator of student engagement. Of course there were many highlights in these various areas. The richness of cultural activities at St Hilda’s was demonstrated at our Artsfest celebration and throughout the year — Madrigal. Kapahaka. Stage Challenge. chamber music, dance, orchestra, debating and drama groups entertained us on various occasions. A particular highlight was the huge number of students involved with Stage Challenge and the well deserved second placing. Another most notable achievement was the success of our Young Enterprise Group, “Mind, Body, Sold”, who were the Regional winners of the YES awards, winning a trip to Wellington to compete with sixteen other schools in the finals. At the 2005 Sports Awards evening in November, many outstanding sporting successes were highlighted. Of particular note were the I XV Rugby, the Premier Tennis Team, I XI Soccer, Senior A and Junior A Netball Teams, the A Hockey Team, the Snowboarding Team, the Rowing U16 Double and U16 Quad and the Cross Country Team who all had significant success at Regional, South Island or National Levels. There were also many individual student successes which were outstanding and reflect an enormous commitment to training and achievement at the highest level. Academically, St Hilda’s continues to strengthen in terms of student achievement with St Hilda’s being the highest performing school in Otago in Year 11 for 2004. There were 18 Academic Blues presented in 2005 plus seven Rewards, two first and one second placing in the Alliance Francaise competitions, several top awards in the Australian Schools English, Science, Mathematics and Language competitions and ten prizes at the Otago Science Fair. Activities throughout the year were many and varied with our school community enjoying opportunities to celebrate together at the annual Easter Service, Founders’ Day, and St Hilda’s Day. Other special moments were the Academic Blues, Cultural Blues and Sports Awards, our Farewell Service for Reverend Joy Hamilton and Welcome for Bishop George Connor and of course our Carol Service and Prize Giving. It is gratifying that the present students are able to enjoy and appreciate these occasions and I am grateful to all those who help to make them special. A significant development in the area of ICT in 2005 has been the installation of 16 data projectors into classrooms, which has given permanent and easy access to most teachers. It has been reported that Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 118 innovative and new ways of using and presenting information has been appreciated by staff and students alike. School goals for this year have varied from continued development of whole school thinking and literacy to effective use of achievement data and an increase in academic focus for our Year 13 students. There has been notable and pleasing progress made in all these areas. At the end of this year, we farewell a member of staff who has been at St Hilda’s for 29 years, Mrs Anne Warrington Blair. Mrs Warrington-Blair came to St Hilda’s in 1976 and has taught primarily in the Year 7 and 8 area since then. She is fondly remembered by many, many old girls who obviously held and continue to hold her in high regard. We will miss her outstanding professional knowledge and her uncanny ability to know so much about every girl in her charge. We wish her good health and enjoyment for her retirement. 2005 was a time of significant change in this area of special character. Rev Joy Hamilton resigned from the end of Term One to take up a position in a Fitzroy Parish in New Plymouth. An extensive search began for a new Chaplain and Mr Richard Kerr-Bell was appointed as Lay-Chaplain, from the start of Term 4. Richard’s position is a 2/3 position with responsibility for Religious Education classes, pastoral guidance and Chapel Services. He will also offer support to Tolcarne on a contractual basis. During Term One we welcomed Bishop George Connor as the new Bishop of Dunedin. Bishop George has considerable involvement with the school being on the Endowment Society and the Board of Proprietors. After welcoming George with a special service in May, we have enjoyed his presence in a number of school occasions and have appreciated his efforts to get to know us and our school. I acknowledge all those who support our school community — Kathy Grant (BOT Chairperson), Nicola Peart (BOP Chairperson) and members of the Boards of Trustees and Proprietors and Parents’ and Friends’ Association. Also Geraldine Corkery, Chris Gold, Helen Crossan and members of the teaching staff, support staff and staff at Tolcarne who so ably and professionally make St Hilda’s a positive learning environment for all students. I also must mention Rosa Scott, Head Girl, and all of the 2005 Prefects who have contributed so generously of their time, energy and talents to support the student community at St Hilda’s. On returning to my opening quote from Albert Einstein, I am reminded of the enormous importance of learning and securing a Habit of Mind that allows us to always strive for improvement. It is important not to avoid problems, tensions, conflicts, awkward situations or difficult circumstances but rather treat them as valuable opportunities to learn. We need to be comfortable with learning rather than knowing, to live with doubt — rather than always seek certainty, to enquire rather than always give answers and to explore alternatives rather than always know what is correct. My wish is that St Hilda’s students will be creative and eager to learn and that the learning journey will offer a lifetime of excitement and fulfillment. Te manu kai riro, nãna te ngahere. Te manu kai matauraka, nãna te aö. “The bird who eats of the riroberry, hers is the forest. The bird who eats of knowledge, hers is the world.” Christine Leighton Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 119 Appendix 29 Three Tikanga Social Justice Commissioner Synod, 2006 "If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together with others." Samuel Kobia: General Secretary, World Council of Churches Introduction: I find Samuel Kobia’s words are a good reminder. They seem to capture the essence of God’s justice of which the Gospel speaks. Walking in faith means walking with others, and walking justly means that often those ‘others’ are the poor, the vulnerable, the lost, the disenfranchised, the marginalised. It also means cooperating, and working together. As the Three Tikanga Social Justice Commissioner, my role is to help us to walk this journey and deepen our commitment to just living as a church in these islands. I do this primarily through public advocacy and theological education. Now, being Three Tikanga, the commission embodies this ‘walking/working-together’ by its constitution. But the real difference can only be made on the ground, at the grass roots, as it were. It’s important to bear in mind that in a very real way, this is not simply a continuation of a tikanga pakeha ministry with a few new voices thrown in for good measure, but an entirely new venture in which new voices and priorities need to be heard. I believe this needs to be born in mind if we are going to be just as we work together. It’s been my great pleasure to work with Dunedin Diocese this past year, and the result is the excellent “God’s Earth, Our Home” booklet. This study booklet began life in your Social Justice Working Group, and was made available to me to be adapted and expanded slightly for use throughout the church. Copies are available through many avenues, including your ministry educator, or through us directly. Details are on our website. Our website is located at http://justice.anglican.org.nz. It’s a useful port of call for resources, news and information. There are also a few public discussion forums you might like to participate in. We hope you’ll pay us a visit. If you prefer the more personal touch, then our office is in Wellington (203-209 Willis St); the door is always open to visitors, and a good cup of coffee awaits you. However, due to my commitment to the grassroots of our church, I spend a fair amount of time on the road teaching, learning, empowering, acting and meeting. So equally, if you have concerns or questions you would like to discuss you may like to ring (04 801 7003) or email (justice@anglican.org.nz). A note on Justice: Justice is everywhere in the bible. For instance, Luke 4:14-21 describes God’s embodied in the life of Jesus Christ. Within the Kingdom, justice is the biblical expression and embodiment of God’s righteousness. As we know, it’s the kind of justice which turns the norms of this world on their head. This can leave us feeling uncomfortable, challenged, and a little disturbed. Justice is the character of Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 120 our work in the world, and our work is our worship – a loving response to God’s love for us. As Christians together in mission, it’s vital that we do what we can, rather than struggle to try and achieve (and be deflated by) what we cannot. For we know that the journey of justice, like the journey of faith itself, is made up of just small steps. It’s through these small steps that the seemingly ‘impossible’ is transformed. New Horizons: So, what are the horizons that face our ongoing walk as a church? What will they look like? How will we traverse them? Can they provide focus for us as a church to move forward, living justly? The answer will be very different, depending on where we stand, culturally, geographically, socio-economically. However, recognising the importance of moving beyond language that speaks of ‘issues’ is an important and practical starting place. As Rowan Williams commented recently, to speak of issues is to attempt to reduce situations to something that is manageable in the face of complexity, uncertainty, or enormity. It seeks to compartmentalise things. But we don’t need to fear complexity. Rather than compartmentalising things, we need a way of engaging ever more deeply in the mission of God, and so embody living justly in the church and the world. We need a way of engaging the complexity of the world and the church that is robust, and our own tradition provides us with one: namely, the priority of context (ie. the incarnation, resurrection and Pentecost, in which we see the reality of God-with-us being made real and in our midst, right where we are). So, where we stand is the most important thing of all – it shapes justice. The diagram below indicates the areas upon which we need to be especially focussed as a church at this time. This focus has been developed with the Commission (made up of myself, two members from each tikanga, a Bishops’ representative, and the Archbishops) have identified, and after listening to members of the church from around the province. Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 121 These areas reflect a continued commitment to and concern for access to adequate housing, health care, education, employment, poverty reduction, foreshore & seabed / land, and transforming violence and the injustice which arises in relation to race. By far and away the most notable area of concern identified by people within our church and our communities is our context / environment (both the built environment and the natural environment). As the diagram above illustrates, rather than engage environmental concerns as a discreet area or ‘issue’ of its own, the integration of these concerns into the other areas already noted provides a more holistic and integrated approach; questions about our environment are an integral part of our desire to seek and pursue justice in the world. Where we stand is woven into the very fabric of the justice we seek. What’s going on in the Diocese of Dunedin? In the communities in which you live? How can I work with you, to resource, to encourage, to be an advocate? What kinds of things can I do that would be helpful to you? How can we get involved with you? How can we learn from you? I am eager to hear what is going on for your communities and parishes, and would love to hear from you directly. Resources: In addition, as part of our desire to develop justice spirituality in the life of this church, we’re committed to renewing communication, eduction and resources, building ministry and the church as a justice movement, and fostering justice spirituality. We’re doing this in association with experts from various fields (education, theology, biblical studies, youth work, parish ministry, law, science etc.) from around the province. So, one thing you can do is keep an eye out for this: This image (above) identifies our resources for churches, groups and individuals. In coming months, you’ll be seeing this image popping up a lot I hope. When you do, take a look and encourage others to do the same. You’ll see it on a Just Living, a regular quarterly publication sharing news, stories and resources, and ideas for how you can get involved just where you are. Each edition has a focus – the first is the environment. It is available free of charge and distributed to all Anglicans in the province (ask your vicar for a copy today). It is a great way to be reminded of the fact that this isn’t a journey we are on alone, and we hope you will find it (like the rest of the materials on offer) inspiring, challenging, and Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 122 encouraging! We are happy to receive contributions, of course. You’ll also see this image on biblical studies materials, and study courses for small groups (there is one on the presses as we speak, “God’s Earth, Our Home”). We will be aiming to produce a regular series here that will inspire your life together through your cell groups/house groups, or whatever kind of groups you meet in together. You’ll find it on young people’s / youth resources, sermon notes, up to the minute issue-focussed booklets aimed at helping us all better understand issues that face the church and the societies in which we live at this time. You’ll also be seeing the image on resources and materials related to events (like our recent Justice Retreat) that seek to encourage people to remember the history of this land, its people, and our Church who have walked justly before us. Resources that inspire us to walk. In short, this image is your visual key to church based materials aimed at helping you to be a challenged, informed and engaged Christian, taking just small steps right where you are. …on the Road As I look towards the future, I am committed to enabling and encouraging the voices which arise from this engagement to being heard, and, building upon what has gone before us, to walk on as a movement orientated by a desire to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with our God. I am committed, in other words, to helping to shape a missional and prophetic community which is orientated, located and engaged by God in the world through Justice Spirituality. And so, as we face the new horizons, our watchword, like Bonhoeffer’s own watchword, is involvement. My hope is that together we can continue to walk justly and walk far. Anthony Dancer Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 123 Appendix 30 Trust Board Chairman’s Report Synod 2006 Membership: During the course of the year membership of this committee comprised of:Mr G.C. Allen (Chairperson), Mr. A. Dunbar, Mr I.W. Gallaway, Mr D.W. Girvan, Mr S.J. Grant, Mr V Maffey, Mr. A. Wright, Mr N. Wyeth, Miss C. R. French and Dr A.E. Fitchett. Mr Crayston, as the The Diocesan and Trust Board Manager, attends and acts as the Board’s Secretary. The Board records its deep regret at the untimely death of one of its members, Mr Douglas Girvan, and gives its grateful thanks to Douglas, for his wise and helpful contributions to the discussions of the Board over the last eight and a half years. Dr A E J Fitchett (Cathedral) was appointed to the seat occasioned by the death of Mr Girvan. Miss French, Mr S.J Grant and Mr N Wyeth were each re-appointed for a further 3 years. Meetings: The Board has met ten times since last Synod in the Board Room of Jackson Valentine. The Investment sub-committee meets on the day prior to the full board meeting enabling it to make recommendations to the Board concerning each portfolio, along with keeping a vigilant eye on our investment activities and performance. Income fund: This fund consists of a sound portfolio with a variety of investment types and these include cash deposits, mortgages, various corporate debt instruments, Government and Local Authority Stock, State Owned Enterprises and Equities in New Zealand companies. The trustees strive to uphold the balancing act as ‘prudent’ yet ‘enterprising’ in their search of the best return on funds for the benefit of all deposit holders. Funds under management, as at 30 September 2005, grew by $600k during the year (2004 - $2.2m) and amounted to $18.5m at year end (2004 - $17.9m). The Board has been able to maintain a most advantageous distribution rate to the beneficiaries and the two most recent quarters amounted to 7.75% per annum. Growth fund: A constant watch over the medium to long term investments, with revisions being made as necessary, has ensured the quality of stocks have been maintained. The market value of a unit at year end was $1.48 its highest level, since the three to one split of 1998 (2004 - $1.13). Since year end it has increased in value even further and the most recent valuation (30 June) amounted to $1.75. Bequests: There have been no major bequests received by the Board, for the benefit of the various Institutions and Parishes, during the year. Property: It has been a busy period with regard to property, not only for us as a board, but also for our solicitors who Diocese of Dunedin 2006 Year Book Page 124 have been kept busy with property sales, land transfers, consolidation of mortgages and renewing of leases. The Board is pleased to be have been able to assist the Parish of Wakatipu with the major property development being undertaken next to St Peter’s Church, Queenstown. The separate Charitable Trust that was created in connection with this project has required significant financial resources and this Board has assisted in this regard. Also in the pipe line is a New Diocesan Centre at Green Island which has just been given the green light. Administration: The Trustees express their appreciation for the work undertaken on behalf of the Board to all of the Diocesan Office staff. It is greatly valued by us all. Gordon C.
