Meeting for the first time in 2020 last week, they joyfully reaffirmed their baptisms, pledging together to resist harm as they provide leadership to the Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last November, the bishops of the Western Jurisdiction issued their&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/westernjurisdictionumc.org\/safe-harbor-declaration\/\" target=\"_blank\">Safe Harbor Declaration<\/a>, explicitly refusing to implement the new provisions and prohibitions of the Traditional Plan. The GNW Area Cabinet welcomed this statement at the time and continues its move forward with the clear guidance it provides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nthe Protocol mentioned above includes a moratorium against the filing of\ncharges against LGBTQ+ clergy, and those performing same-gender weddings, if\npassed, it would only create a pathway down which full inclusion could be\nreached. Stopping the harm is only one step down the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Cabinet and the GNW Guiding Coalition are continuing to plan for a future of United Methodism in the Northwest that fully includes LGBTQ+ persons in the life of the Church. Additionally, they are continuing to learn and to foster practices, each time they meet, that will help the Area to center voices that are younger and more diverse, recognizing that there is both wisdom and vitality around a table with distinct perspectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GNW&#8217;s Innovation Vitality Team offered the Cabinet <a href=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/need-an-iv-stat\/\">an update on projects that are underway across the Area<\/a>, work that includes both New projects (new church starts or new campus\/multisite) and Vitality projects (existing church where an identified planter\/innovator is appointed). Of the 37 supported projects, 20 (54%) are led by leaders of color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev. Kathy Neary provided an update on her work with smaller congregations in the PNW Conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnwumc.org\/news\/what-makes-a-church-a-church\/\">sharing one of her insights this week on the PNW News Blog<\/a>. The GNW Cabinet also discussed the promising work happening in rural areas through the Rural Church Engagement Initiative. Lynn Egli provides a short progress report <a href=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/greater-nw-umc-rural-church-engagement-initiative-going-strong\/\">you can read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing its work of assessing and preparing for the leadership needs of GNW Area churches and ministries, the Cabinet finalized its&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/clear-appointment-openings\/\" target=\"_blank\">initial list of Clear Appointment Openings<\/a>. The practice of sharing Clear Openings allows clergy the opportunity to express an interest in a particular appointment while also allowing them to share their gifts and calling with the Cabinet as the discernment process begins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LEAD2020.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4303\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"\/><figcaption><em>Bishop Elaine Stanovsky and members of the GNW Area Cabinet spent time with participants of the UMC LEAD Conference.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans\nwere also finalized at the meeting for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alaskaumc.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/01\/call-for-aumc-special-session.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calling of a Special Session of the\nAlaska United Methodist Conference<\/a>&nbsp;on February 22 in Anchorage\nto ask the 2020 General Conference to discontinue its status as a missionary\nconference. The Alaska Conference will also vote to petition the Western\nJurisdictional Conference to provide affiliation and oversight, possibly as a\nmission district of another annual conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nConference Treasurers provided the Cabinet with an end of year report on the\napportionment giving of the Area&#8217;s three conferences. Apportionment receipts\nfor the Alaska Conference reached 84.7% in 2019, down 2.03% from 2018;\nOregon-Idaho Conference receipts reached 77.9% in 2019, down 5.4% from 2018;\nPacific Northwest Conference receipts reached 93%, up .21% from 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Cabinet meeting concluding late on Saturday, Cabinet members visited area churches for worship the following day. Twelve members were also able to attend parts of the <a href=\"https:\/\/umclead.net\/\">UMC LEAD event<\/a> that began later that day in Seattle, Washington. Bishop Stanovsky offered a greeting to attendees of the LEAD event, offering a word of encouragement and appreciation for The United Methodist leaders, many of whom had traveled across the country to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Patrick Scriven<\/strong>&nbsp;serves as Director of&nbsp;Communications and Young People\u2019s&nbsp;Ministries for the Pacific Northwest&nbsp;Conference of The United Methodist Church.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Patrick Scriven Even as members of the Greater Northwest (GNW) Area Cabinet absorbed the implications of the proposed&nbsp;Protocol of Reconciliation &amp; Grace Through Separation, they recommitted themselves to resisting elements of the Traditional Plan that took effect January 1.
