O God, by your grace you have called us in this
Diocese to a goodly fellowship of faith. Bless our
Bishop Gregory and other clergy, and all our
people. Grant that your Word may be truly
preached and truly heard, your Sacraments
faithfully administered and faithfully received. By
your Spirit, fashion our lives according to the
example of your Son, and grant that we may show
the power of your love to all among whom we live;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

The Minister of the Congregation is directed to instruct the people, from time to time, about the duty of Christian parents to make prudent provision for the well-being of their families, and of all persons to make wills, while they are in health, arranging for the disposal of their temporal goods, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequests for religious and charitable uses.

Bishop Brewer’s Address
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool
than to open it and remove all doubt.” —Mark Twain
This phrase particularly hit home as I was trying to write a response to the recent meeting with the archbishops at Canterbury. I was hesitant. The reason I was hesitant was because my response is a mixture.
A Far Reach May I make a brief confession? I still want to be liked. There's some part of that place inside me that, quite frankly, is sinful, but then there's another part of understanding its importance – the fact that what we're doing now is actually history-making. I knew that what I wrote would be read by people from all over the Communion. In fact, Canon Nunez has reported to me that once my response was posted on the diocesan Facebook profile, it had over 1,000 hits in two hours. Within a couple of days, that went to 3,000. This is not to mention it being posted on Twitter and re-posted on other websites. I've had reports from other people in other countries as well as people in and around the U.S.
Episcopal Café is now cataloging all of the responses by various dioceses and bishops here in the United States. I wanted to write a response because I knew I had a responsibility to do so. I hope, in fact you've read it. As one of the small group of bishops in The Episcopal Church who are committed to biblical orthodoxy, most of us known as Communion Partner bishops, we are in fact being watched, both nationally within The Episcopal Church and internationally. Our voices are heard. Most in The Episcopal Church do not agree with us, but they still want to know what we think.
Communion Partner Bishops Just prior to Christmas, three of us Communion Partner bishops spoke directly with Archbishop Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his assistant for Anglican Communion Affairs, Bishop Precious Omuku of Nigeria. Then one week later, Archbishop Josiah Fearon, the Secretary-General of the Anglican Communion, flew into Orlando on holiday with some Nigerian friends. Just after I got home for Christmas, I got an email one week before he was to arrive announcing the fact that he was coming.
Protocol dictates that at that point, you make room. He is an archbishop, after all. There's a place for him to serve. Ascension Orlando, because he was way down in that part of town, was kind enough to host the archbishop. Jim Sorvillo yielded the pulpit to him on Christmas Eve, twice, in two different services of 45-minute sermons each, to applause at the end each time. I don't know many rectors who would do that. Thank you very much, Father Jim and the people of Ascension, for your outstanding hospitality.
Appendix C
159
Archbishop Fearon and I met the next day for an extended meal where we talked openly and frankly about our life together in this Communion. We related well personally, and I had a wonderful time. I've already invited Archbishop Fearon back to share with us about Anglicanism and its future, given the things that are occurring.
Mending the Nets I tell you these things to describe what I believe is the pivotal role that Communion Partner bishops in The Episcopal Church are now playing in the wider Communion. It’s behind the scenes. You don't hear about many of these things, nor should you. We're not trying to make publicity. We're instead committed to “mending the nets,” to seeing how God might want to use us and others in that process in the midst of all that is transpiring.
While The Episcopal Church as a whole is presently bearing its "consequences”, to quote the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican climate statement, Communion Partner bishops are in most places still given a very warm welcome. We are playing an active role in the very fabric of the Anglican Communion. It's not anything we would have thought, but the door has been opened. This is the time for our diocese to be more involved both in the life of The Episcopal Church and in the wider Anglican Communion, not less.
That speaks to why I am going to the New Wineskins Conference on Global Missions this April, the largest missions conference within Anglicanism of its kind in the United States. I am looking forward to our being there. Why? Anglicans and leaders from around the world will attend. Father Loren Fox is organizing a team from this diocese to attend. If you're interested, I would urge you to get in contact with him.
This is also why our deputation from the Diocese of Central Florida was so deeply involved in the General Convention of The Episcopal Church this past June. It was hot in Salt Lake City in more ways than one, but our team served us extraordinarily well, speaking clearly, compassionately, strategically building relationships and friendships across theological aisles. Worship was often inspiring and uplifting. I chaired the Committee on Evangelism and Communication for the entire Convention with representatives from around the church, including Michael Curry, then bishop of North Carolina. As a result of the work of that committee, more than $2 million was committed to evangelism, an historic record.
Fully Engaged We biblically orthodox Episcopalians from various dioceses across the country continue to take our rightful place as full members. Not marginalized, not cranky, not isolationists, not afraid, but prayerful, winsome, and deeply involved. It was because of the witness of these dioceses that a resolution fully supporting those who could not support same-sex marriage rites was passed by
Appendix C
160
large margins in both the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies. I am profoundly indebted to our team. I want to say publicly thank you, deputies, for your outstanding work this past summer. Convention, you were represented extraordinarily well.
All of this history that is in front of us, the pivotal changes that are happening within the life of a global Communion, the role that we are being asked to play, all of this feeds into the passion that I have for obeying the new canon that calls for each diocese to give 15 percent of its income to the wider church by 2019. Besides, I must tell you it would be extraordinarily hypocritical for me as bishop to champion a $2 million commitment to evangelism in the national church budget, an historic record, and then say, "No. We really shouldn't be giving the money." All right? I'm not sure I could serve in those kinds of public positions if I felt that way. And I’ve made a vow, as I made a point yesterday, to obey this canon. It was part of my ordination vows. That alone is reason enough to obey it. I also support it because of this pivotal moment that God has given us in the life of Anglicanism.
Canterbury and others within the Communion respect us precisely because we are fully committed to full engagement both in the wider Episcopal Church and in the Communion. We have not walked away. We, as has been said before, are threatening to stay. In many ways, one of the points of our strategic plan, which is to take our place in the councils of the church, has been more deeply realized than ever before.
God’s Mission for You Our strategic plan also calls us to reach out to our neighbors. I see this happening in the life of our diocese. It's just such a joy. From Holy Cross, Winter Haven's Boy Scout troop, which is bringing in new members into their church; to St. Gabriel's, Titusville's commitment to feeding literally hundreds of families per week; to Trinity, Vero Beach's outreach to St. Edward's School by supporting a Chaplain, Tommy Matthews; to a beachside surfer's mass on the afternoon on Sundays sponsored by St. Peter the Fisherman, New Smyrna Beach; to the formation of a more contemporary service in the evening of Sunday at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke, led in large part by Father Josh Bales, whom you experienced and have gotten to know earlier, committed to reaching out this huge influx of primarily young adults who are moving into downtown Orlando. If you haven't been, it's changing by the day.
I could be happy to go on and on, but more and more, our congregations are seeing themselves as missionary stations called by God to bring the gospel in word and deed to the communities where God has planted them. This is, in fact, Anglicanism's vision for the parish church. And it's one that I support without reservation. To quote David Bosh's exceptional book, Transforming Mission, "It is not the church which undertakes mission. It is the mission of God which constitutes the church."
Appendix C
161
In other words, reaching out with the gospel is the heart of why the church exists. The key question for each of us to pray and ponder is (and if there isn't anything else you hear in this sermon, write this down) what is God's mission for you – both at a personal as well as a congregational level? What is God's mission for you? To put it another way, why aren't you in heaven right now?
There's a purpose for this. We're not here by chance. We are living in a divine appointment that God has determined for us. It is not aimlessness. It is not meaninglessness. It is not random. What is God's mission for you?
Our Diocesan Staff It is to that end that our diocesan staff serves you, our congregations. Maybe it’s Earl Pickett’s fine work in finance, health care, and building inspection. He does so with just the best dry sense of humor. Just a couple of days ago, my head was spinning with everything that needed to be done to get ready for this weekend. I was writing some things up, and I couldn’t remember someone's name. It was driving me nuts. Finally, I walked in to Earl and Beverly's office and said, “Beverly, please tell me the name.” Of course, she knew it right away. Earl, quick on the draw, walked up right then, extended his hand, and said, “Bond. James Bond,” just like that. That’s just the kind of guy he is.
Or maybe it’s Kristi Alday's work as Archdeacon extraordinaire and the fine work of the Institute for Christian Studies, or Canon Tim Nunez's diligent work with vestries, clergy, and especially in search processes, or Canon Justin Holcomb’s recruiting and raising up of new leaders, or our excellent support staff Erick Perez and Marilyn Lang, who make sure that when you call, you find the right person and get the right information. We, as a diocese and staff, are committed to serving you in the calling God has given you.
In fact, at this point, I'd like to briefly introduce our two newest staff members for those of you who have not met them. Here’s my new executive assistant, Sarah Caprani. Sarah, are you here? She's hiding behind the curtain, and I can say without hesitation that she’s a delight and a godsend. As well as Caroline Miller, who is Justin Holcomb's executive assistant, right over there. I know Justin is very pleased to be working with Caroline. She always has great contributions when we have our times of Bible study and prayer, which we do on a weekly basis.
In fact, again, staffs of congregations, do you take time to pray? To read the Bible? To share your life together? Your congregation is the poorer if that's not true. My vision and understanding of what a church staff ought to be is a Christian community that shares life together, prays together, and studies together. It becomes the community into which the larger community of the parish and then the larger community at large is invited to share. They're not the gossipy insiders. They're actually the chief servants. I can say without hesitancy that that's certainly true for the staff of the Diocese of Central Florida. Our
Appendix C
162
commitment to serve our neighbors means serving our churches with the best clergy possible, not only for our present congregations but also for future church plants.
Strategic Growth Both endeavors, raising up new clergy and future church plants, have been given serious effort in 2015. I've ordained 12 people to the diaconate in 2015 and 10 to the priesthood. That's twice the number to the priesthood as in the previous year. We presently have 42 in our ICS program either studying in the classroom or online. We have 12 presently studying for the priesthood. We have 11 recipients of the Timothy Fund, which this past year totaled $40,783, and the diocese also gave out promissory notes for theological education totaling $28,500.
We have seminarians at Trinity School for Ministry, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, Virginia Theological Seminary, Nashotah House, Seminary of the Southwest, Sewanee School of Theology, and the Anglican House of Studies at Duke, as well as a number who are doing local work at Reformed Theological Seminary and Asbury Seminary before completing an Anglican studies program at one of our Episcopal schools. We have so far 32 people signed up to attend our spring seminar on exploring ministry called BACAM. Just this past Thursday at the Diocesan House Eucharist, I confirmed three young adults who will be pursuing ordination in The Episcopal Church. They were coming from other church traditions. Their presence, along with numerous other young adults who have recently been ordained, tells me that God has a future for The Episcopal Church in Central Florida.
I want you to know that I am delighted to be a part of it. There are clergy who, when they hit my age range, feel like all they ought to do is just hold on and coast until they hit 72, which is the age of mandatory retirement. That sounds awful to me. You might as well tell me, “Just go spend the rest of your time playing golf.” It's not that I'm against golf. It's just that there's so much ahead of us. I'm really excited. I have not slowed down, and I have no intention to.
And here in Central Florida, we still need more clergy, especially Latin Americans, African-Americans, and people who are bilingual in English and Spanish. Presently, Canon Holcomb is working on the possibility of theological education courses being offered in Spanish at our own Canterbury Center, both for continuing education for our Spanish-speaking clergy as well as easy access to theological education for people in our Spanish-speaking congregations. I'm also in touch both locally and online recruiting people of color who are interested in coming to the Diocese of Central Florida.
I want to tell you; we have clergy really interested in coming to our diocese. In a very good way, the word is out. It is positive. You see, if we're going to reach the world that is moving to Central Florida, our clergy team must reflect the diversity of those who are coming. If not, we look more like a club and less like
Appendix C
163
the Kingdom of God.
The diocese has also employed as a consultant the Rev. Dr. Winfield Bevins, who is a specialist in church planting on the faculty of Asbury Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. Dr. Bevins is assisting a small team of people in the diocese to work at a strategy for church planting that we will be able to deploy very soon. Planting new churches is not easy work. I've done it. It requires diligence, much prayer, sacrifice, and strong leaders, but I am confident that God is using Dr. Bevins to help us think about this challenging and important task. We are counting the cost and trying to think about it strategically. There's nothing more disheartening than seeing a church plant fail, because people work so hard. That means we need to do the things we need to do to make sure our churches have every opportunity to succeed. Personally, I've made 40 visits to local congregations in this diocese. I have baptized four people. I have confirmed 184 people. I received 83. And 41 have reaffirmed their baptismal vows.
Intentional Relationships I've traveled quite a lot this year; to be honest, more than I would like. To General Convention, to the installation of the presiding bishop at Washington National Cathedral, to meetings of the Province IV bishops, the province being Southeastern U.S. I participated in the Sewanee Board of Trustees meeting and the consecration of the New Virginia Theological Seminary chapel, where the Archbishop of Canterbury both preached and presided as well as hosting at our Canterbury Center. I also attended a meeting of the Communion Partner bishops, which included special guests Archbishop Mouneer Anis of Egypt and North Africa and Archbishop Datuk Bolly anak Lapok of Southeast Asia. On most visits, Laura Lee travels with me, both to my joy and to the joy of the congregations, who are always glad to see her and whatever hat she chooses to wear for the occasion.
I want to publicly acknowledge to you what I have said to her on more than one occasion: it would be difficult, if not impossible, to do this job without her. I am profoundly grateful. Laura Lee and I continue to use the home that God has given us on a regular basis for all kinds of hospitality, including the ongoing joy of hosting clergy-spouse dinners that are always good times for building fellowship, friendship, and having conversations on something other than “Well, how many people are coming to your church?”
That's fostering friendship and playing down the competition. From clergy dinners to Cursillo to serving together both in our congregations and across the diocese, in mission and support, we are in fact finding ways and other strategic points of our plan to strengthen our relationships with one another.
A Church for Our Future For the final part of this address, I'm going to hone in a little bit about what's
Appendix C
164
happening with youth. I would like to talk to you about what I'm hearing from them about what they want in terms of a church for our future. Over this past year at youth events around the diocese, our young people were asked about what is important to them about church. Numbers of young people were willing to sit in front of a camera and just talk. I am grateful for their candor, and what they said can be a way of helping us to think about what kinds of churches we need to build for this future generation.
As many have said, young adults are different. That means we need to think of new cultural ways about what it means to be church together. If we're going to make room for people who were different from us, whether we're talking about race or whether we're talking about age, it is critically important that we build volunteer teams that look like the people we're trying to reach. If a young person walks in and all they see are people who look like me, what they will think is “There’s not room for me here.” It's incredibly important. The same is true if you're trying to reach out more multi-culturally into your neighborhood. I was very curious to hear what these young people would have to say. I'm very thankful to Steve Schneeberger, who continues to be our diocesan consultant for youth ministry, for helping organize this over the course of the past year.
Safe Zone What I want to do is just show you a clip and then make a comment on it. The first is from Sarah of St. James, Ormond Beach.
[Sarah speaking] For me, church is a place where it's almost my safe zone. No matter what's going on throughout the week, where I've been, who I've been dealing with, I know that I can just come to church and everything kind of stops for me. It’s a place where I really get to connect with God, and I get to be around people who care for me and want me to live up to be the best that I can be every day. It's almost like having a second family. It's really great.
“Safe zone” This is distinct because quite honestly, the last thing most people think about when it comes to church is a place that is called a safe zone or a safe space. In today's PC climate, “safe zone” can mean everything from protecting sensitive students from disturbing ideas to a prejudice-free zone where all are welcome. Could we ask God to help us find ways to be not only a loving family for people like us but also a loving family for our sisters and brothers who do not look like us? Can our common commitment to Christ bind us together so deeply that people are free to reveal their true selves in a congregation, going a little bit better or deeper than, “How are you?” “Well, I’m fine.” Can we discover, in even more powerful ways, the love of Christ that brings forgiveness and mercy to our deepest wounds, calms our most persistent fears, and creates an atmosphere where people can tackle even the most difficult ideas with the wisdom of the gospel? What does it mean? What would it mean for your parish to be a safe zone not only for people but also for difficult ideas?
Appendix C
165
Full of Joy The second video is from Bradley of Nativity, Port St. Lucie:
[Bradley speaking] Hi, Bishop Brewer. My name is Bradley from the Church of the Nativity. I feel like church has done a lot for me over the years of my life. I feel my church has made me grow closer to people that I never knew before, that I wouldn't normally talk to on the streets but in church, I talk to them no problem because the community here is just friendly and happy and everybody's enjoying it. It's full of joy. And also, I'm happy that it brings my family together, too, because not every time people take time to go out with their family and go to church and everything. So I feel like it just brings people together in general.
To be the home that Bradley describes requires a level of relationship that feels more like family and less like a civic organization. Most of our churches excel at caring for one another. In fact, if there's anything that mark the churches of our diocese, it’s that we do our best to take the command to love one another seriously, and we do so with joy. The testimony of many is that they have come into our congregations and felt welcomed and loved. Let us continue to grow together in our love for Christ and especially look at what we're doing to ask, in a very pragmatic way, “When a visitor walks into our building, what do they experience?”
How do you, in other words, make the transition, which is culturally enormous for a non-church person, to walk into our highly literate, liturgically-based singing of stuff that is typically no younger than the nineteenth century? You allow that to happen through a prayer-soaked environment, a place where they encounter the living and risen Jesus Christ. Now, I say that not because I am heartily for contemporary worship. Yeah. I've lived praise-ness. I know what that's about. It has a lot more to do with relating to people and creating a welcoming environment where they belong than almost anything else.
A Church That Welcomes Off-script, I just want to tell a story. When I was on the faculty in Pittsburgh, I was invited to be considered for a church in Philadelphia: Church of the Good Samaritan, Paoli. Laura Lee and I wanted to find out what kind of church it was, so we sent a friend of ours (now deceased), to go and check it out.
Her name was Beverly Dodge, and Beverly Dodge was obese. She was our spy. An Episcopalian, Beverly knew her way around the church. We wanted to see how she would be welcomed. She had been to a number of different churches in her area where no one actually ever talked to her. Even at the passing of the peace, it was simply passed around her. More than once, someone got upset when she unknowingly sat in the wrong pew. That's happened to Laura Lee and me as well, by the way.
Contrary to all of that, when she visited Church of the Good Samaritan, she
Appendix C
166
parked in a parking space that was some distance (this is a very large church) from the entrance. Several people said hello to her before she ever got to the front door. She was handed all of the information about the church, including welcome information.
Beverly took her place in the pew and in the opening liturgy, someone automatically handed her a prayer book that was open to the page where that service was starting. And it just kept going from there. She called us back, elated.
Laura Lee and I knew right then that this would be a church that would be welcoming, because that is so incredibly important to us. Hospitality is in our genes, whether you're talking about a local church or having people over for dinner. As it worked out, they called us. Beverly, in fact, wound up making the drive (which was almost an hour) to come to that church because of the warm welcome she continued to receive in the life of that congregation. I want to tell you, when your church is accessible, the word gets out. People know if you're a congregation of people who genuinely demonstrate hospitality. Please make time.
The Treasure in the Scriptures The third message is from Shah, also of Nativity:
[Shah speaking] Hi, Bishop Brewer. My name is Shah, and I just wanted to say that the church basically helps me by giving me knowledge about Jesus Christ, and this book [holding up a Bible] has really helped me along with my life. It’s helped me with several things and it gave me a lot of knowledge about Jesus and what’s to come. [It] tells me how to live my life and how to get to heaven and have eternal life with Jesus Christ.
We have a priceless treasure in the scriptures. They are God-breathed. They are the guide that points us to the complete sufficiency of Christ. They are the reliable promises that offer us assurance that we receive forgiveness and the promise of eternal life. They contain the pathway that leads us to heaven in a way that is true for no other book. However, very few of us Episcopalians use our Bibles so that we, to quote the Prayer Book, “Read, mark, and inwardly digest,” and we are the poorer for it.
Some people think it's bad form to underline in the Bible. But the Prayer Book supports it. Sadly, it can be true that we don’t use our Bibles in this way, just as true, in fact, for clergy as it is for lay people. Congregations, ask your clergy to
preach the scriptures. Our churches can be places where people discover the treasure in the scriptures. There is a direct relationship between spiritual
maturity and knowledge that will allow us both to know and apply the words of the Bible to our lives. Biblical knowledge and application must be at the center of our efforts in Christian education as well as our preaching if we are going to
raise and produce mentor Christians.

Prayer: No Idle Exercise The fourth video clip is from Grace from St. Paul's, Winter Haven:
[Grace speaking] Hi, my name is Grace and I go to St. Paul’s Church. I think the church means a lot to me because it means I can come here every Sunday and I can pray to Jesus, and I can pray for my friends and family, and I can pray for forgiveness for any of the sins I’ve committed, and I can pray to Jesus, and I can pray for help.
There is a rhythm of public prayer that carries us. That is, in fact, one of its key functions. It invites us into a place of prayer that is bigger than our own concerns. It is precious. It's a call to prayer that has as this agenda the very breath of the world.
Look at the liturgy that we pray in ordinations. It's still happening. It's not a drawn document. This prayer, like this liturgy, brings us, along with our sister and brother parishioners, to the throne of grace. We pray for “all sorts and conditions” because, as we know, God loves all sorts and conditions, and we are all sorts and conditions. We are the ones who need the love of God in our lives as well as the people for whom we pray. Prayer is no idle exercise. Sometimes, we carry others in our prayers and sometimes, the community carries us by their prayers.
But prayer is not just wishful thinking. It's God's avenue for accessing and applying the life-changing power of his presence to those for whom we pray. The next clip is from a movie called The War Room. The movie is not high art, but it is a powerful teaching lesson on an important aspect of intercessory prayer. This clip shows a woman by the name of Elizabeth Jordan, a wife who feels abandoned by her husband and whose daughter is being neglected. She turns to an older woman, Miss Clara, who begins to teach her that the answer is not found in retribution and anger but in intercession:
[Miss Clara narrating] There’s no magic in the location you pray, but Scripture does say to go into your inner room and pray in secret, and your heavenly Father, who sees what’s done in secret, will reward you. Now get rid of any distractions, and focus your heart and mind on him. Acknowledge that he is God and that you desperately need him. Now, be grateful for your blessings, but lift your needs and requests to him. If you’ve got something to confess, then confess it. Ask him for forgiveness, then choose to believe him when he says that he loves you and will take care of you. Then pray for the heart of your husband, your daughter, and anyone else that the Lord brings to your mind. And don’t rush it. You take your time. And then you listen.
As I said earlier, prayer is no idle exercise. God has chosen you and me by planting within our hearts the power of the Holy Spirit so that when we speak things in prayer, God chooses to begin to move in a way that reflects what he is
Appendix C
168
doing in us. I want to tell you; it is the joy of my life to be a vessel of intercession. Even when I end up in a nursing home and I can no longer speak or travel, I will still be there with my Bible, my prayer book, and my care list. Because that is the work to which I have been called as a Christian. Not as a bishop or a priest but as a Christian, demonstrating through those intercessory prayers the very priesthood of Christ, which is God's call for all of us as believers.
Prayer is not just meant to be an exercise for the more spiritually athletic. Prayer is meant to be the call that he has chosen to give us to make a difference in our world. I cannot tell you how important it is.
Growing churches teach. They teach church members how to live in a way that reflects the power of the gospel. God has provided a way, through prayer, to be a channel of God’s supply into the lives of other people, our communities, and our world.
Changed Lives that Others Notice The next video clip is from Ben of St. Paul's, Winter Haven:
My name is Ben; I go to St. Paul's. The church has affected me in, I guess, my appearance. Going to church every Sunday and every Wednesday has just – when people look at me, they say they see God around me. They see the power and the love. And I guess the way I impact the people around me, my friends, my family, my church, people that come to church with me, I affect them. I guess I've gotten a greater love for the church, for God, for my youth group, for my bishop, meeting the bishop on a couple occasions. It's just changed me.
What does this wonderful combination of family relationships, formative worship and sacraments, biblical teaching and life-upholding prayer produce? It produces changed lives: changed lives that other people notice. What do people notice? They notice compassion. They notice servanthood. They notice joy.
Those whose lives have been changed are the people who are quick to pick up the chair when it's falling. The ones who are more than willing to help out in the kitchen even if they're not assigned to it. They’re the ones who are willing to make a difference in their communities. Even if they never breathe the name of Jesus, there is something about them that reflects the compassion and the servanthood of Christ. That's what people see in them. And when I met him at St. Paul’s, that's what I saw in Ben, too.
The last video clip is from Zach from Good Shepherd, Lake Wales.
As a Christian, I know that I can, I will, consult [the church] and ask them and listen to what they have to say. [I will] understand and absorb that knowledge because certain readings say things like, “Love the children” like Jesus loved the children. I now love the children in both the community and the church.
Appendix C
169
Like, [serving as] part of the Lake Wales Care Center, I do that and I take that [as] more valuable because of what Father Tom has taught me and what I’ve seen as being an acolyte. All this stuff that the church has offered me has now brought insight that I could never find anywhere else and I couldn't ever be more proud of. So, the church, it gives so much to the community and unfortunately, sometimes, these communities don’t understand that. But we know as Christians that our church is invaluable and nothing could ever replace it.
A Family with a Future God is actively at work in the Diocese of Central Florida. These are our kids. God is doing something. God is using us to have an impact in central Florida, in our communities, and in the wider church. God is using our congregations to touch the places where we live. New people are being raised up into ministry. And a new generation is receiving what we have been so blessed to inherit. People's lives are being changed by the power of the gospel. Why would you want to be anywhere else? Are there warts and challenges? Sure there are. You see, that's a part of what it means to be a global as well as a diocesan family. I haven't found the perfect church. I've given up trying. But we, the Diocese of Central Florida, are a family with a future. A future that God has planned for us. We know because of God's mercy that there are divine appointments ahead of us yet to be revealed.
And I, for one do not want to miss out on what God is doing. I bet most of you want to be there, too. Would you open yourselves up to God's future? Will you begin to think in fresh ways about what it means to be the church? Will you think again about what is God's mission for you and for your community? Will you say yes to this adventure?
Let us continue to do this together. I thank God for what God is doing in and through us, especially right now. I thank you for the privilege of serving you as your bishop. Thank you.

Canterbury Retreat and Conference Center 2015 was a year of continued growth for Canterbury Retreat and Conference Center. We grew in a number of ways; more people were served and had the Canterbury experience of amazing hospitality in a sacred space. A few numbers:
• Operations grew by 8% • Fundraising grew significantly - in one category contributions to the
annual fund grew by 63%! • Website traffic grew from 350 page views per month to an average of
4000 page views per month. We continue to steward this mission and ministry leveraging all that we are and have for the extension of the Kingdom of God in this world. Numbers however do not tell the whole story… Growth in partnerships - We have developed significant relationships locally, in the larger Central Florida area; nationally and internationally. We hosted a number of groups from The Episcopal Church Center and had a gathering from the Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers as well. We continue to focus on serving the diocese and have done so with four Cursillo weekends; Clergy Conference; a number of clergy days and vestry retreats and offering Canterbury programming to serve the churches of the diocese assisting in cultivating mission and ministry. Those programs include: Leadership Retreat; Summit conferences on Discipleship and Worship; Seminars o The Proof of God and a number of retreats designed to help people grow in their knowledge and love for Christ. In all these moments on the Canterbury campus the result is changed lives -- people transformed by the love of God expressed in a ministry of hospitality. Canterbury’s ministry is sacramental in that through the very landscape and through the people that serve there and gather for retreats, conferences and meetings somehow the presence of Christ is felt, faith is nurtured and transformation takes place. This is the heart of why Canterbury is here and why it is important to the diocese, the church and the world. Emmaus Ministries - We are excited to see Emmaus Ministries set up there operation on the Canterbury campus. They have brought enthusiasm and a needed resource of teaching the scriptures to people so they can in the words of Proper 28 from the Book of Common Prayer; hear, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Word of God. They will be launching the school in August of 2016 and have spent the past year in preparation and establishing their ministry in Central Florida. Canterbury Moments - There were many gatherings and events where we were able to celebrate Canterbury’s mission and ministry. In June we had a joyous

dinner with BBQ and Bluegrass; a bountiful silent auction; great fellowship and fun telling the Canterbury Tale. (The dinner this year is June 5th) In December we had a Holiday Wild Game Dinner with a Christmas concert and a fantastic menu of wild boar; bison and game birds (Join us in December of 2016 for this wonderful evening) The Rev.

Episcopal Church Women
The past year 2015 has been a hectic one. We were unable to have the fall 45th annual meeting in 2014 and as a result, it was held on April 18, 2015 at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke, Orlando. There were 83 women and clergy in attendance from 17 parishes. The Rt. Rev. Gregory O Brewer was the Celebrant at the Eucharist; he installed the officers for 2014-2015 and blessed the Book of Remembrance – 2013 deceased sisters. Following the service the bishop facilitated an interactive Q & A session. Our Chaplain, the Rev. Amanda Bordenkircher was the Guest Speaker and spoke on the theme The Fruits of the Spirit. She addressed each of “the Fruits “and how we utilize/ reflect them in our daily lives. The Bylaws were revised and approved. The Board of Directors continued to strive towards achieving its three goals:
1 To improve communication amongst the women in the diocese via the internet, social media and a quarterly newsletter- Episcochat 2 To provide leadership training for women in the diocese using the Women of Vision (WOV) seminars. 3 To develop new chapter / women groups and improve and strengthen existing ones.
The Special Outreach Project was the Children’s Medical Mission of Haiti however, at the 46th annual meeting we selected to change and support in 2016, the Timothy Fund for Seminary Education. There were no deanery meetings held in the spring because of the 45th annual meeting in April but plans are under way to have meetings in the spring of 2016. Similarly, there was no WOV training scheduled however, St. Augustine of Canterbury, Vero Beach will be hosting a WOV Seminar on January 16, 2016. Five Board members – four delegates attended the Province 1V ECW Conference – at Kanuga Conference Center, Hendersonville, N. C. June 1-3. The retreat was spirit filled, educational with great fellowship. Three weeks later three delegates - President, UTO Coordinator and the Distinguished Woman 2015 attended the 48th ECW Triennial Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, which was held in conjunction with the General Convention. The Triennial theme was Stir Up the Spirit: ¡Celebramos! Central Florida ECW was the recipient of one of the National United Thank Offering (UTO) grants for $46,464.00. Our

newsletter the Episcochat also received an award for Excellence in Communication. We encourage the parishes to continue their financial support to the UTO and the Church Periodical Club (CPC). The amounts received for the year were UTO $4,234.90 and CPC $2,110.99 The 46th Annual Meeting was held on November 7, 2015 at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke. Bishop Brewer was scheduled as the celebrant but due to illness the Rev. Canon Timothy C. Nunez- Canon to the Ordinary substituted and installed the 2015- 2016 Officers and blessed the Book of Remembrance for our departed sisters in 2014. As our scheduled guest speaker Canon Nunez addressed the theme Stir up the Gifts of the Spirit, and stimulated a lively discussion from the 93 women and clergy present from 19 parishes. We said goodbye to our Chaplain Rev. Amanda and welcomed her replacement, Pastor Greer K Mc Bryde .2015-2016 Officers: President - Winsome Stern (St Mary, Belleview), 1st. VP - Mickie Solari (Holy Apostles, Satellite Beach), 2ndVP – Deborah “Dee” Henson- Governor (St. Timothy’s Daytona Beach), Secretary - Stephanie Spurlock (Holy Apostles , Satellite Beach), Treasurer- Danielle Rogers (St. Mary, Daytona Beach ), United Thank Offering (UTO) Coordinator- Carol Paris ( St. Augustine of Canterbury Vero Beach), Church Periodical Club (CPC) Coordinator - Mary Daniels ( Advent, Dunnellon) We hope to meet the challenges of 2016 of growing our church with younger folks as many of our congregations are faced with aging members who are becoming less active.

184
nearest 100); and approve the request from St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Eustis, FL to disperse $10,000 from the Mowery Trust Fund to Nashotah House and Duke Divinity School, in equal portions, to be applied against the seminary tuition expenses for Cameron MacMillan, Postulant to Holy Orders at Nashotah House, and Kathryn Sarah Gillett, Aspirant for Holy Orders to the Priesthood at Duke Divinity School.

Reports to Convention
185
residential treatment for clergy.
Reviewed and accepted the 2014 Audited Report and recommended that the Diocesan Board accept the Auditor's report as presented. Recommended that the Diocesan Board designate that the Diocese of Central Florida's 2016 Group Insurance Plan Renewal with the Episcopal Church Medical Trust incorporate four tier rates, the standard prescription plan, the following three health insurance plans as the medical plan offerings: Anthem BlueCross BlueShield High Deductible Health Plan/Health Savings Account (HDHP/HSA), Anthem BlueCross BlueShield PPO 75/50 Plan (with this plan being designated as the DIOCESAN STANDARD PLAN), Anthem BlueCross BlueShield PPO MS 75/50 Plan, and the following three dental insurance plans as the dental plan offerings: Cigna Preventative Dental PPO Plan, Cigna Basic Dental PPO Plan, and Cigna Dental and Orthodontia PPO Plan. 2016 Clergy Compensation Guidelines: received, reviewed and recommended that the Diocesan Board adopt a proposed revision to the clergy compensation guidelines for 2016 that incorporated a 0.2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). It was noted that the COLA was determined by the change in the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor for the period from July 2014 to July 2015, which is consistent with the methodology used in prior years. It was noted that for the average clergyperson in the Diocese of Central Florida (16 years of credited service in a congregation with an average Sunday attendance of 180) the increase is 0.12% versus the 2015 Clergy Compensation Guidelines. 2016 Operating Budget: Reviewed budget requests, developed and recommended a balanced 2016 Operating Budget that was ultimately adopted by the Diocesan Board as its recommended budget to the 47th Annual Convention. Recommended that the Diocesan Board execute the Certification of Resolution supplied by Kane and Koltun, Attorneys at Law in order to adopt, effective January 1, 2016, the restated Diocese of Central Florida Cafeteria Plan (which dropped the Flexible Spending Account and Dependent Care provisions from the previous version of the plan due to lack of participation in those aspects of the plan and prohibitive costs for 3rd party administrators to manage those aspects going forward). Recommended that the Diocesan Board set the 2016 Spending Policy for the separate accounts in the Congregational and Diocesan Trust Funds as up to 4% (rounded to the nearest 100) of the fair market value as of June 30, 2015. Recommended that the Diocesan Board’s minutes reflect, per the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA), the fact that with all funds held by the Diocese of Central Florida, the Finance Commission had reviewed and documented per this statement relevant issues in managing and investing the funds. The considerations included such factors as
Reports to Convention
186
duration and preservation of the endowment fund; purpose of the fund; general economic conditions; possible effect of inflation or deflation; expected total return; and the funds’ investment policies. Noting the majority of Diocesan funds are “program-related” assets and hence administered under the Prudent Investor Rule, not FUPMIFA; and the Slemaker endowment fund is managed according to donor’s directive. Recommended that the Diocesan Board adopt a proposed housing allowance resolution for 2016. Recommended that the Diocesan Board authorize that income above $30,000 in the operating fund at the close of the year be designated to the Bishop Search Fund in preparation for the next Bishop Search. Earl Pickett, Diocesan Administrator
Institute for Christian Studies
This has been an interesting and exciting year in the Institute for Christian Studies - a wonderful world of opportunities for gaining knowledge and insight, friends and fellowship, a deepened faith in our Lord, and an appreciation for the traditions of the Episcopal Church! ICS continues to grow and evolve to better serve the needs of all who are interested in continued growth in the faith. We have moved the school when classes are “live” to the Diocesan office. The online classes have been enthusiastically received and are currently being viewed by many people that are not connected to our Diocese. Due to increased demand, we will be filming additional classes throughout the year. Following Bishop Brewer’s vision, ICS is more intentionally focused on evangelism, outreach and discipleship. The restructured diaconal formation has been well received and we currently have seven folks on track for ordination in September. Requests for information about ICS, its origins, operation, curriculum, faculty and program continue to come in from other parts of the country. I am pleased to report that the Institute for Christian Studies, your diocesan school for ministry, is a dynamic and vibrant place of continuing education! The Ven. Kristen N. Alday, Dean
