Welcome, welcome thrice welcome as we gather here in this most Southern of our cities to celebrate our common life and plan together for our future. As we gather in this place, I am mindful of all who have carried the torch of faith before us, and who pass it to us today. In particular, we remember:

28

Alexander Colin MacDonald, Hendrik Jan Takens, Bob Boniface, Bill Schroeder, John Geare, Morrie Dunn and Baden Gilchrist, all of whom have contributed from the treasure stores of their talents to our diocese over many years.

I wish, as I begin to thank you all for the warmth of your support as I have travelled throughout the diocese this past year. The integrity and intelligence of the people of the South never fails to astonish me, as time after time I see people striving to be truly the people of God in this part of the world.

I am grateful to work with a fine group of people from our ministry centre in Green Island. Alec Clark, Benjamin Brock Smith, and John Franklin are gifts of God to us, and have each in their own ways taught me and widened my horizons. Each works unstintingly and graciously for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom. In the work of ministry development, we have all been ably supported by the administrative staff in the Diocesan Office. Bronwyn, Debbie, Dominique and Bernie have managed an increasing workload with greatly diminished resources of money and personnel and have invariably done it with cheerfulness and energy. As our diocese changes over the next few years they are the ones who manage and adapt and I greatly appreciate the skills they have put at our disposal and the professionalism with which they do their jobs.

IntroductionThere is an old Chinese curse: “may you live in interesting times”. This is a saying that has come to mind often as I drive from one part of the diocese to another. As we look at the changes which lie ahead of us and the particular challenges offered by being Anglicans in the South of New Zealand at the start of the 21st Century, it is tempting to think the proverb refers to just such a time as this, but of course we would be wrong. All times are interesting, in the proverbial sense, this one only mildly more or so than any other, except perhaps in one regard. Over the past few years the questions which have always been present regarding the place of the Anglican Church in our wider society have been brought into sharp focus and we no longer have the luxury of dodging them as we might have done in the past.There are a number of factors in this.

1. The continued decline in many of our congregations has pushed them to the very edge of viability. Our own statutes state that if anyone wants to form a new parish they must have at least 20 people willing to form the core of the new congregation. If we applied this rule to existing parishes, several of ours would disappear at the stroke of a pen.

2. We, along with every other diocese in the country, and in fact, every other mainstream denomination in the country, struggle to find experienced clergy to take up the challenge of ministering in the present environment.

3. The Christchurch earthquakes have resulted in changes in insurance which will be felt by all of us in the New Year. New regulations regarding earthquake strengthening will have longer term, but far, far more serious implications. These developments, along with the example of many of our brothers and sisters in Christchurch, have forced us to consider the continued deployment of many of our buildings.

4. Our society seems to have passed some sort of threshold in its relationship with the Christian church. Decline is epidemic, not just in the “mainstream” churches, but also in most of the newer denominations that have been, until now, more used to growth than we are.

It is this last factor which is the most pressing. When we and others have sought to find solutions to the problems facing the church they have generally been centred on thinking up ways of reviving parishes: making them like they were when we could all remember them full and thriving. Our efforts are often centred on getting more, and younger people interested in the parish, so they can take up the task of maintaining it into a new generation. The hard truth is, however, that many of our parishes have declined to the point where the parish structures developed to meet the needs of the congregations of the mid twentieth century simply do not work any more. While it is true that in some parts of our diocese the general trend of decline is reversed and congregations are growing, in many

29

other parts of our diocese, the strategies for growth that are at our disposal are simply not going to work . At this point I need to make a distinction: between church and parish. A church is a gathering of the people of God. It may be tiny (Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name….) or very large indeed. It may be highly or loosely organised. A parish, on the other hand, is a particular type of church structure which evolved over the centuries to suit a particular way of being church. A parish needs to have a basic minimum number of people, to be able to function. There is no question that the church will survive in this part of the world, but we might well ask whether some of our parishes will survive. Or rather, we need to ask: what sort of church we will have in the future, and how will it be organised?

So what are we to do?Paradoxically, as we look for new life, our starting point is to give up the struggle and by this I don’t mean apathy or ennui. I mean we need to learn deeply something we already know in our deepest places: that the battle is not actually our battle, and there is no need for us to unduly worry about it. The church belongs not to us, but to God. God has a mission in the world which God is not, and never has and never will abandon. God has, admittedly, called us to tend a particular corner of the vineyard and to preserve a particular stream of tradition but we need to be very careful about wresting God’s responsibility away from the divine grasp.

ListenOur first task then, is to try and listen, in order that we might align ourselves with what God is doing. Of course, we all know this and the first priority in our diocesan vision is the call to a deepened spirituality. In the past year we have run a couple of Weeks of Guided Prayer, and my chaplain, the Rev’d John Franklin has been particularly active in promoting spiritual deepening. Our ministry school this year was based on the general theme of spirituality, and we will continue to emphasise the priority of spirituality for a good while yet. I must say that this has been a particular personal emphasis.

Over the past 18 months, as I have thought repeatedly about HOW I am to be bishop, several different models have presented themselves: bishop as CEO of a religious organisation, for example is the one which most bishops I know loathe with a passion but find themselves, against their will and better judgement, adopting out of sheer necessity. I find that the exigencies of daily life repeatedly push me in this direction, but I know there has got to be a better way. My friend Sue Burns has recently suggested to me another, which I find full of possibilities: the bishop as Abbot. The abbot, as head of a monastery, could not escape a certain amount of administrative and disciplinary roles but the chief duties of the abbot were prayer and teaching. The abbot sought thereby to lead the people of God into a deeper understanding and experience of the faith but more importantly, made the development of a deepening walk with Christ their own personal number one duty. This seems to me to be a model more in keeping with the Gospel, and more in resonance where my sense of God’s calling is leading me. In the Rev’d Marg Schraeder I have an excellent spiritual director, and I have been heavily influenced, of late, by Father Thomas Keating and by the Rev’d Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault. Learning from them and from John Franklin, my practice of Centring Prayer has grown markedly during the past year. I have also been greatly inspired by the work of the anonymous 14th Century English mystic who penned The Cloud of Unknowing, and one of his great teachings is that in order to arrive at some knowledge the mind of God we must be prepared to first enter a time of uncertainty and confusion: the space which he calls The Cloud of Unknowing, and which St. John of the Cross calls The Dark Night of the Soul. There is a profound wisdom in this teaching, and to find the way forward – personally, as parishes, as a diocese – it is probable that we will need to enter just such a cloud of unknowing. God is leading us into a new future which is very exciting indeed, but to discover exactly what that future might be means letting go of much in our past and present. Such letting go can be an unnerving, even frightening prospect.

30

LeadWe may not yet be clear about the specifics of where God is leading, but we can be sure that one of the tools required will be innovative, consistent, energetic leadership. With this in mind, the second phase of our strategic plan, to be implemented from next year onwards will be the development of leadership. As Anglicans together we need to invest time and resources in our existing lay and ordained leaders, and be open to the leading of the Spirit, as the Spirit calls new leaders for the task ahead. I am greatly encouraged that already there is a significant increase in the number of younger people considering a vocation to ordained ministry. When, later in the weekend we look at elections to our various diocesan and national bodies I hope we will be very mindful of the need to encourage our younger leaders and give them opportunities for exposure to ministry enhancing experiences

Look AfreshAnother aspect of the changes required of us, whose parameters are not yet completely known is the reorganisation of our diocesan structures. We have made some small reorganisation of the diocesan office, which have included a shift in the layout of the office and a drastic reduction in staffing levels, but the changes in the office will need to be still more far reaching. As the changing realities of parish life become more apparent, there will be a need for us to reassess what faith communities can expect of the more limited capacities of the diocesan office. There will be a need to be ever more strategic in the use of the time and talents of the Ministry Educator, Educator for the Under 40s and the Bishop.

Across the diocese the need to cooperate across parish boundaries is becoming more urgent, and this is represented in the arrival, this month, of the Rev’d Angela Dutton, our first Regional Dean. Drawing on the example of the Taranaki Episcopal region, we are pressing ahead with the formation of co-operative units in various parts of the diocese. In general, we will be leaving parishes intact and inviting vestries to continue in the stewardship of parish buildings and resources while at the same time encouraging the deployment of personnel resources – lay and ordained, stipendiary and gifted – across parish boundaries. As regional teams develop, our lay ministers, deacons and priests will be encouraged to see themselves primarily as spiritual leaders rather than parish managers and administrators. Diaconal and priestly formation will be given a new emphasis in the training of our clergy.

We are also looking hard at the provision of social services and have recently reformed the social services board and begun the exploration of ways in which our aged care institutions can co-operate in the provision of their services.

ConclusionKaren Armstrong describes the present time as an Axial Age: one of those tipping points in the history of the human race when the spiritual landscape is rewritten on a global scale. We are privileged to be alive at this time and to be playing a part, albeit a small one, in the salvation history of the world. Now is not the time for us to be hankering for the past glories of the church. Now is not the time to be overly concerned with the provision of our own spiritual needs. We have a task to do: which is no less than the furtherance of the Kingdom of God in Otago and Southland. We have at our disposal, great riches in terms of buildings, money and, most importantly, people. It is time for us to take stock; to sit still and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit who is waiting to lead us into new and exciting ways of ministry. We need to thank God that we have been given the great gift of living in interesting times.

MOTION NO: 5 Motion re Ordination and Licensing of those in same-sex relationships

Moved: Dr A. [Tony] E.J Fitchett Seconded: The Rev’d Helen WilderspinThat this Synod:Whereas a Tikanga Pakeha Commission on Human Sexuality, in 1998, affirmed “the wisdom and historic precedent for leaving the decisions about acceptance for ordination with the bishop of each Episcopal unit and her or his advisors” and expressed the view that “each application for ordination should be dealt with on an individual basis regardless of the candidate’s marital status, gender, sexual orientation or sexual preference”, and that “There is no need for our Church to impose or declare barriers or prohibitions with respect to the ordination of gay or lesbian people beyond the usual criteria which are applied in local Episcopal units for the assessment and selection of ordination candidates” and

Whereas this Synod in 2007 resolved that the call to and suitability for ministry and leadership are not determined by a candidate’s sexual orientation, and

Whereas this Synod in 2010, understanding that, since 2006, bishops of this church had instituted an informal moratorium on accepting those in same sex relationships into the process leading to possible ordination, and, noting that many clergy and lay people who are homosexual and some of whom are in long term committed, faithful, monogamous relationships, exercise valuable ministries in this Diocese and in other Dioceses and Hui Amorangi of this Church, asked the bishops whether such a moratorium was still in place, and, if so, to set a date for the moratorium to be lifted, and

Whereas the Standing Committee of General Synod has agreed that at its meeting in November 2011 it will appoint a Three-Tikanga Commission to report to the General Synod/te Hinota Whanui on

(i) A summary of the biblical and theological work done by our Church on the issues surrounding Christian ethics, human sexuality and the blessing and ordination of people in same sex relationships, including missiological, doctrinal, canonical, cultural and pastoral issues; and

(ii) The principles of Anglican ecclesiology and, in the light of our diversity, the ecclesial possibilities for ways forward for our Three Tikanga Church; and

(iii) The implications of (i) and (ii) on the place of our Three Tikanga Church as a whole within the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Now therefore this Synod:1. Accepts that a variety of opinions regarding the blessing, ordination and licensing of those in

same sex relationships are sincerely held by members of this Diocese, this Church, and the Churches of the Anglican Communion.

2. Considers that a homosexual person in a long term, committed, faithful, monogamous relationship should not, because of that relationship, be refused ordination or licensing for ministry.

starting point for consideration of our Anglican understanding of the Church of Christ

Diocesan Council ReportSynod 2011

Members of Diocesan Council are:The Bishop (chair), Mrs Jenny Campbell, The Ven Jan Clark, Mr. Wynston Cooper, Rev’d Stu Crossan, Mrs Liz Duggan, The Very Rev’d Trevor James, Rev’d Judy Johnson, Mr. Murray Jones, Mrs. Kate Nichol and Rev’d Helen Wilderspin.

This past year has been one of change in the Diocese, which has been made visible in changes in the Diocesan Office. The administrative staff has moved their working space upstairs, and the support staff and library have replaced them on the ground floor. There have been some alterations to furnishings to make Peter Mann House a more open and welcoming environment. A weekly Eucharist and daily services of Morning Prayer have been established. There have been other major changes in the office as the services to our clients ended and the staff numbers were consequently reduced, reflecting a change in the financial situation of our diocese and a shift in focus as we re-assess the role of the office in the wider diocese.

In accordance with the strategic plan, this year has concentrated on spirituality, and early in the year a Week of Guided Prayer was held in Southland. Other Weeks of Guided prayer are planned for the Cathedral and for other parts of the diocese. This year’s ministry school was based on the theme of spirituality. In January the council agreed to the employment of the Rev’d John Franklin as a half time Bishop’s Chaplain with specific responsibilities for spiritual growth and nurture of clergy and lay leaders. Throughout this year, John has run quiet days and extended spiritual direction to many.

The economic downturn has caused considerable difficulty for many of our parishes, and it is only with great difficulty that the Diocesan Council has been able to arrive at a balanced budget for 2012. The effects of the Christchurch earthquakes have raised issues of insurance and of earthquake strengthening whose full impact has yet to be felt.

In March the council invited Rev’d Duncan McDonald from the Selwyn foundation to visit and assist in an assessment of Aged Care in the diocese. Duncan’s report was helpful in catalysing a process of rethinking where we are going with our rest homes. The Social Services council of the diocese has been reformed to oversee, on the council’s behalf, all aspects of social services in the diocese, including aged care, and a small working group has been set up to begin investigations into a unified structure for aged care. Because of the complexity of the issues and the local sensitivities of our rest homes, this process is likely

44

to take some time.

Throughout the diocese various parishes have met to discuss issues of regionalisation and in September the Rev’d Angela Dutton began her appointment as our first Regional Dean. Meeting have been held in Invercargill, Dunedin and North East Otago to begin the process of sharing resources of personnel, buildings and capital to further the development of the Kingdom of God. As we move towards a greater degree of cooperation between our parishes, we are leaning heavily on the experience of the Taranaki Episcopal Region.

Work is progressing on a revamping of our website and on the revitalisation of The Southern See, which has languished for want of an editor.

The Diocesan Council has invariably functioned well, conducted their business in an atmosphere of mutual respect and shown a deep awareness of the purposes for which we meet. I have been proud to chair this body during 2010-2011.

The Rt Rev’d Dr K. WrightDiocesan Council Chair

Diocesan Foundation ReportSynod 2011

A quiet but vital piece of the future of our Diocese sits within the Trust Accounts called the Diocesan Foundation.

The Foundation was launched in 2005 after recognising again that the Diocese of Dunedin has not been sufficiently endowed to support the ministry of the Bishopric. As a consequence Diocesan Synods year after year had budgeted to make up the difference, limiting the scope of their remaining budgets to support other and new ministry initiatives.

There are currently about fourteen contributors to our Foundation – people who have held the vision adopted in this form; and who consistently add thousands to its capital every year. The Diocese thanks you again for your generousity, commitment and insight on the future.

The current balance of the Foundation is $213,501 and last year 90% of the interest earned was able to be used to fund the Bishopric.

A brief financial statement is as follows:

Income:Continuing Pledges $ 4796.62Wyndham Parish 3050.60Additional donations $ 3368.00Interest $ 13,707.42

$ 24,922.64

Grant to Bishopric ($ 7,336.67)

Capital Increase $ 17,585.97

Administration and Finance Sub-Committee ReportSynod 2011

Our Role:We are a sub-committee of Diocesan Council whose role it is to make recommendations to them which will facilitate mission and ministry throughout the Diocese by the responsible use of financial and property resources.

Meetings:We meet monthly, early in the month, to feed recommendations into the Trust Board and Diocesan Council meetings.

Membership:The Bishop, Rev'd Canon C.J. Rodgers, the Rev'ds W.F Schroeder (until June) and V.M Galletly, Prof D.J. Fielding, Mr G.M. Hughes, and Mr W. J .Cooper (Chairman). The Diocesan Manager attends all meetings and provides information in response to questions as well as taking minutes.

In Memoriam: Rev’d Bill Schroeder:In June the Rev’d Bill Schroeder, a member of this committee 2002 – 2011 and past Chairman 2002-2006, friend and brother in Christ, passed away after a twelve month illness. Bill was an extremely valuable member of the committee and his abilities, positiveness, and wise advice is sadly missed.

Synod Budgets:During 2010 we again drew the attention of Diocesan Council to cost over-runs and our concern that we need to live within our means. While the deficit of $1,150 for the 2010 financial year is clearly better than the $39,946 of 2009, it is still a deficit and not a sustainable position long term.

2012:The Diocesan Statutes require that a balanced budget must be approved by Synod. As is the case with households and Parishes, the Diocese is finding it an increasingly difficult challenge to produce this balanced budget.

The day to day ministry of the Diocese is funded by the Bishopric Endowment, Parishes, and the various Diocesan endowments administered on our behalf by the Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board.

Our Diocesan Administrative Staff provide support services to the running of the Diocese, the main benefits the Parishes receive are the management of compliance and legislative issues i.e.:

- Charities Commission registration maintenance (without which our donors would not receive their tax refunds),

- Clergy and Administrative staff payroll & PAYE

46

- GST and other taxation requirements, - Employment and health and safety legislative compliance- Trust Management for 570 Parish Trust Accounts- Accounting and auditing for 58% of parishes - Insurance and Legal liaison - Heritage property issues- Regional Council Policy liaison - Canonical and statutory management

The Ministry Educator and Educator to the under 40’s are totally funded by grants made annually by the St. John’s College Trust Board, in Auckland; our Diocese does not fund any part of these important ministries. St John’s also funds the major part of the work of the Southland Regional Support Priest.This year the Diocesan budget for 2012 has an annual shortfall of some $24,000 which Diocesan Council are recommending be met from investment capital. It is not necessary to repeat that the use of capital funds in this way is unsustainable in the long-term.

Office Matters:

The Diocesan Administration has undergone significant change over the last twelve months. Three full time and one part time staff member remain. Mrs Debbie Flintoff, the Bishop’s PA has returned to full time and Mr David Wood retired after 17 years in various accounting roles with the Diocese. When it was decided not to continue with the accounting service for the three external clients (note the drop in Diocesan External Income between the 2010 and 2012 budget) Mr Wood was not replaced. It was also extremely unfortunate that in amongst all of these changes it was necessary to make the Manager’s PA and Assistant Administrator Mrs Barbara Mason redundant. Both Barbara and David were conscientious and able members of the Diocesan team and they are already missed.

Parish Financial Matters:

Audit:Audit fees continue to increase every year, but this year a combined parishes approach was used in a bid to maintain the integrity of the financial records while containing costs. The difference between the audit fees for those who were a part of this group and those who weren’t was $500, however an analysis has not yet been done to determine whether the savings were worthwhile overall.

Insurance:All NZ Dioceses benefit by having their insurance schemes negotiated through the Anglican Insurance Board, thereby getting the benefits of economies of scale and a reasonable level of Anglican self-insurance. This will not however protect us from the increase in premiums expected as a result of the Christchurch earthquakes. It is expected that premiums will have increased for this year and will increase further for 2012. An added expense is the level of reporting now required by the Insurance Companies which, for example, resulted in Insurance Valuations being required for this year and very likely bi-annually from now on.

Building Codes: Also further to the earthquakes has come the policy development of all the Regional / City Councils re earthquake strengthening. Currently, in general, buildings only have to conform to the building code that was in force when they were built, be that 1897 or 1997. The Councils are now looking at their policies with a view to ensuring all buildings in their precinct meet a percentage, e.g. 34%, of the current building code within a set time period. The details are not yet known for all areas, but the impact on all churches in New Zealand will be profound.

Other Matters:Finally, on behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank the many, many people who contribute their time and talents to furthering mission and ministry in this Diocese.

Mr W. Cooper

Diocesan Manager’s ReportSynod 2011

It is my privilege to report on an amazing twelve months which has stretched us all to the limit !

And before I say anything else, I want to thank those who have walked through it with us. The Clergy, the Vestries, the Parish Administrators, the Committees – especially the Office Committee and Admin & Finance, and others who hold the Diocesan Office in their prayers, the Diocesan Senior Staff and Diocesan Office Staff, past and present.

I have been awed by the patience and perseverance I have seen this year and by the difference God’s love can make in any situation.

We came face to face with financial reality over the last twelve months and lost two key staff: Mr David Wood, Accountant and Mrs Barbara Mason, my PA and Administrative Assistant; both of who we could not afford to lose, or to replace. We also faced up to what we could do and what we could no longer do and handed back the accounting and payroll functions to Leslie Groves, Selwyn & St Barnabas for them to manage independently.

A number of Parishes also came up against financial setbacks this year and had to prayerfully consider issues which have no easy answers. There will be other Parishes in the same place in the coming year as insurance bills, cost of living increases, and city / regional council regulations bite harder. Each situation is unique but we have in common our God and a need to really understand His mission for our Community and our Diocese.

The ministry of Christchurch over this year has been humbling. As I skidded down the path to my warm office this morning I was grateful not to be working out of a garage in the snow; as I struggled with the accounts I realised the blessing of actually having information to hand to check and recheck and get right; and as I reread the Vicarage inspection reports I was again grateful that we are only dealing with ordinary housing issues (as important as these still are to the individuals involved). Without exception, the Anglican’s I have approached in Christchurch have been courteous, patient, helpful and caring – their unintentional ministry to me has been a real blessing and has reached others as well, beyond their city boundaries.

On my desk at the moment are the Charities Commission Returns, Audited Annual Accounts, Insurance Valuations & invoices, the DCC’s draft policy on Earthquake Strengthening for buildings, Synod (of course) and the ongoing discernment of what God requires of us as His stewards. Another challenging year awaits …

Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you.

General Synod/Te Hinota Whanui Standing Committee Synod 2011

Since General Synod met in May of last year there have been four meetings of General Synod Standing Committee, three of which I have attended as a representative of this Diocese, and one meeting attended by the diocesan alternate – Trevor James.

As the work of GS/THW in between sessions, GSSC meetings have a very full and varied agenda. There is always time for tikanga caucusing and reporting back to the whole meeting about what is going on in the Church around our Province. In addition to this, agenda issues range from consideration of canonical matters; employment issues; issues raised by the worldwide Communion; the appointing of representatives to committees and meetings, including the international Anglican Networks; consideration of the GS/THW accounts; discussion of ecumenical matters; and the receiving of correspondence and reports from various small working groups.

Particular features of these three meetings have been tragedies and sadness that have affected Diocese and Hui Amorangi in our Province. In particular we noted the tragedies at Pike River and in Christchurch, as well as flooding and political uncertainty in the Pacific. A focus of our gatherings has been to pray for and consider our practical support for all those who continue to suffer as a result of these. GSSC was actually meeting together in Rotorua on 22 February when the second major earthquake struck. With people from Christchurch/Waipounamu in our midst the response was immediate.

Some highlights and significant issues in our business have included:

Strategic Planning In November 2010 GSSC spent a day considering its strategic plan and priorities for its work until GS/THW 2012 and beyond. That was concluded as:General Synod Standing committee, as elected representatives of GS/THW, finding our identity, our unity and our calling in the Tri-Une God, we are:

Grounded in worship One Church expressing dynamic inter-relationships within our three tikanga community; and Committed to the five-fold mission statement of our Church.

We believe our priorities in this mission for the period to GS/THW 2012 are:1. To provide leadership in what it means to be a three tikanga Church in mission;2. Think strategically about the shape of our three tikanga church and its ministries; 3. Build a community - 3T focus and gospel focus;4. Articulate our faith and our Anglican identity; and 5. Prioritise effective and appropriate ministry for specific age groups and/or generations

Three Tikanga Youth Commissioner At General Synod/te Hīnota Whānui 2010 a canon was approved setting in place the new Three Tikanga Youth Commission. At our GSSC meeting last November the new Commissioner, The Venerable Michael Tamihere, was welcomed into his role. His contract was signed at that meeting and the three Archbishops prayed for Michael. His formal commissioning was in December at the Tikanga Youth Exchange in Fiji.

Resource SharingIn the report to Synod from GS/THW 2010 we noted that, in response to a motion, a Commission had been set up to review the resource sharing within our Church and make some suggestions on the way ahead. It was required to report to GSSC last November, which it did. A key theme in the Commission’s report was that this needs to be discussed and advanced at a local level. GSSC asked each Episcopal Unit to discuss the report and consider its response. This work is ongoing.

Anglican Consultative Council 15ACC will be meeting at Holy Trinity Cathedral in late October/November 2012. Through the General Secretary and working group, chaired by Bishop John Paterson, preparation is now underway.

49

2014 CelebrationsGSSC is also overseeing preparations for the 2014 celebrations, (200 years since Marsden landed at Oihi in the Bay of Islands).

Electoral College GuidelinesGSSC received the work of the review led by Bishop Philip Richardson. The results of this review have been used in several diocesan electoral colleges where they have been found to be practical and helpful.

Same sex relationships, blessings and ordination.GSSC passed the following motion at its most recent meeting:

GSSC, meeting in Nadi in July 2011, being mindful of ACC-15 meeting in Aotearoa New Zealand in 2012 as an instrument of Communion, and the ongoing debates in the worldwide Anglican Communion, and also being aware of at least three potential motions coming to GSTHW in 2012 around issues of same sex relationships, blessing, and ordination, thought it appropriate to prepare GSTHW for discussion and consideration of these issues, and accordingly, Resolved:(a) That General Synod Standing Committee at its meeting in November 2011 appoint

a Commission made up of a small Three Tikanga group of eminent people with ability, credibility and a commitment to work in prayerful collegiality, to report to General Synod/te Hinota Whanui on:

(i) A summary of the biblical and theological work done by our Church on the issues surrounding Christian ethics, human sexuality and the blessing and ordination of people in same sex relationships, including missiological, doctrinal, canonical, cultural and pastoral issues; and

(ii) The principles of Anglican ecclesiology and, in light of our diversity, the ecclesialpossibilities for ways forward for our Three Tikanga Church; and

(iii) The implications of (a) and (b) on the place of our Three Tikanga Church as a whole within the worldwide Anglican Communion.

(b) That General Synod Standing Committee immediately establish a small working group to propose, by 31 August 2011, the membership of the Commission.

(c) That the Commission will be asked to report progress to the General Synod/te Hinota Whanui in 2012 but in any event to complete its work and report to General Synod/te Hinota Whanui by 2014.

(d) That the General Synod Standing Committee ask each Episcopal unit to comment on the terms of reference and the membership of the Commission prior to the November meeting of the General Synod Standing Committee.

(e) That various bodies of this Church, through the terms of reference, be available to offer the Commission advice on specific matters or questions, including the Doctrinal Commission, the Judicial Committee, the Liturgical Commission, as well as the bench of Bishops. The Commission will be free to take such advice and any other advice that it deems appropriate and to receive submissions.

These along with many other issues have occupied the 8 days that GSSC has gathered in this last year. Members also offer significant service on various groups in between meetings. Gatherings, while busy and focused, are always enriching. Chaired by our Archbishops, they provide an opportunity to celebrate all that we have and are, to engage with our mission, and to face our challenges together.

Dunedin Diocesan Ministry Committee ReportSynod September 2011

50

I thought that it might be helpful to describe the responsibilities of the Ministry Committee as well as recent projects.

Ministry Committee is a sub committee of Diocesan Council and is responsible for the initiation, recognition, supporting, promoting and co-ordination of work in the diocese of Dunedin in the fields of:

Ministry development, training, ethics, personnel. For example the Boundary workshops have come out of discussion in the area of safety and ethical responsibility. We are also looking at developing guidelines and specific job descriptions to clarify the roles of vestries, wardens, treasurers, nominators.

Authorised Lay Ministry and care of licensed ministers. We have recently looked at covenants and licensing expectations and how this might be better administered.

Key mission and Ministry Areas include: Evaluating ministry needs in the diocese and proposing appropriate ways of meeting these. At

the moment there is discussion about regional ministry initiatives and the various structural models that might be appropriate.

Fostering and providing theological education and ministry training within the diocese. For example this includes oversight, planning of the Ministry Conference, TUU (Theological Understanding Unit), and local ministry training.

Oversight of Diocesan Ministry positions. This includes supporting the Ministry Educator, Educator for the Under 40’s, and the Southland Regional Support Priest. Each role has a reference/support group that reports back to the Ministry Committee.

Co-ordinating funding applications to the St John’s College Trust Board consistent with diocesan priorities, and exercising stewardship of such funds.

Representing the ministry issues and priorities of the diocese at TPMC (Tikanga Pakeha Ministry Council) and Te Kotahitanga level, and issues of the wider church in relation to theological education, ministry formation and future ministry directions back to the diocese.

Rev’d H. WilderspinChair of the Diocesan Ministry Committee

Diocesan Pension Committee ReportSynod 2011

The Pension Committee has met once since last Synod, as eligible applications for financial assistance have been few. The membership for this committee is currently: the Bishop, Rev’d Jim Brook, Rev’d Phillip Charles, Rev’d Cushla McMillan, Mrs Nicola Wong and Mr Vin Maffey.

While formal meetings have been limited, the Chaplain to the Retired Clergy, Rev’d Jim Brook, continues to faithfully keep in contact with our retired clergy and clergy widows. This is a role he has undertaken for

51

many years and we, and the retired clergy, are extremely grateful for the pastoral care he provides and his commitment, wisdom and understanding.

We are also part of a national picture and information about national funds is as follows:

The Pension Fund: This provides lump sums and pensions for clergy on retirement from stipendiary ministry. This is the main fund of the Board with assets of $95,086,004 at 31.03.11. The fund had 473 subscribers and 557 pensioners at 31.03.11. The Retire Fund: This is designated to enable workers of the Anglican Church and other associated Charitable Organisations to further purposes of their charitable organisations without undue worry or concern about their retirement. The fund had 423 members and assets of $19,547,292 at 31.03.11.

The Koinonia Fund: This is the NZ Anglican Church Pension Board’s KiwiSaver Scheme. Entry is restricted to persons with a Christian affiliation or who work for a Christian organisation, or those persons’ immediate families. The fund had 1,380 members and assets of $11,655,950 at 31.03.11.

The Widows & Orphans Endowment: This fund is to support clergy who have retired or are in need of financial assistance and to support the widows and orphaned children of deceased clergy. At 31.03.11 the capital was $14,221,027 and the Revenue Account held $949,722. Distributions are made through the Widows and Orphans Income Distribution Account and allocations in 10/11 were made chiefly to the Health Fund, the Welfare Fund, the Non Stipendiary Welfare Fund and the Basden Fund.

Social Justice Issues from Ecumenical Southland Group ReportSynod 2011

Report on Social Justice Issues from Ecumenical Southland Group for Diocesan Synod 2011

The Southland group members are continuing to connect with justice issues in our lives and through our networking groups.

Windsor Permaculture group – talks included ‘wintering over’ with principles of how to plant green crops, build up the soil and prepare for the next season. Seed saving is another focus. Harvest festival workshops, preserving, seed saving and celebrating the harvest liturgically have all been part of this upsurge in gardening across Southland .Garden visits to see the principles of permaculture in practice

52

were also organised.

Transition Town Invercargill group networks in Southland focusing on the local community with the community garden in ideas taking off in Glengarry suburb. A film night showing ‘In Transition’ principles along with the inaugural Invercargill Spring festival continued to highlight sustainability, gardening and retrofitting homes to conserve energy. There is a Fair Trade Town initiative in Riverton with a young woman starting a Social Justice youth group at Aparima College. A bucket gardening workshop on 350.org day brought families out to focus on different ways to grow vegetables. A workshop focused on a Gap Analysis- comparing existing initiatives with ideas which have been raised by the public in other workshops and is leading on to a Draft Vision for Transition Towns Invercargill.

The Environment Centre continues to promote a ‘green bike’ and bike maintenance scheme on a koha basis, based at St John’s Church Hall in Invercargill. This scheme encourages people to bike in the city with the ‘Bike Doctor’ maintenance person extending hours on Friday afternoon. Recycling of old bikes and bike parts has more people donating bikes for use by others. Bike Wise month was promoted with a green breakfast at the Centre for those biking to work and a Family Fun day bike ride in Queen’s Park with a quiz and prizes appreciated by several families. The Centre celebrated its 10th birthday in May.

Fair Trade fortnight was promoted with goods on sale at various events eg AAW gatherings around Southland, Church meetings, Forest and Bird meetings and Invercargill Environment Centre.

Anglicans turned out in force for the march about proposed changes to Schedule 4 regarding mining in National parks and conservation areas, leading to an awareness of how precious and significant these national treasures are to our people.

“Crime and Punishment’ cards have been used by several parishes and study groups, distributed from the Social Justice Commission. Looking at crime through other eyes, Jesus’ attitude and restorative justice have evoked a new way to look at how we may deal with crime and its effects in our society.

A resource from SJ Commission called ‘Just Facts’ has been distributed on a regular basis to provide background information on topical justice issues so people can be more informed when writing submissions, having conversations and thinking though their own responses. These stand alongside the ‘e- news: justice straight to your inbox’ - a Justice News sheet coming regularly with current justice information. These have been distributed across Dio News list and to Parish Social Justice representatives.

‘’Signs of Change’’ national e-conference had a venue in Invercargill with connections to several university centres across NZ. The focus was on people’s responses to climate change, sustainability and peak oil, in the local and national scene- people making the changes at grass roots level- not just talking about it. There were about 60 presenters over 2 days. By using high speed video conferencing from various centres it cut down participants carbon footprint in attending the conference along with other travel costs, accommodation and conference fees. It is a way forward for other conferences and a new initiative. It could be seen as a possibility for some church meetings, youth networks, and some national conferences.It was good to see tips for environmental aspects in Taonga.

Southland members organised a White Ribbon breakfast in Invercargill on 25 Nov, to continue to raise awareness around the campaign ‘Say not to Violence’ and UNIFEM’s campaign of stopping violence against women.

Budget cuts and Whanau Ora changes have seen the campaign ‘Say not to violence’ about stopping violence against women stopped along with the programme of training young women in Self defence, Wahine Toa. There has been increased recruitment to the ‘Big Buddies’ scheme relating older people to young people.

53

The biggest public event around Climate Change was the visit of Dr James Hansen to Dunedin and Gore. Over 1000 in Dunedin and 300 in Gore heard his reasoning about why we need to get our CO2 levels back down to 350ppm. Southland people are very concerned about the proposal to set up a briquette trial plant between Gore and Mataura using the local lignite. Health concerns, loss of agricultural land, air and water pollution and social impacts are some issues. Not allowing public submissions was a cause for concern- being handled by local Councils.

KIDZONE the holiday programme over 6 days in Invercargill in the middle of the July Holidays had 11 000 people pass through the event – with 170 activities on offer. It is a great family event with good wholesome fun, interaction and so many opportunities for families to participate. Anglicans helped with the organisation and volunteered to enable family interactions. The Environment Centre had a room with the theme of bees- learning about how endangered they are and how essential they are for pollination of so many food crops.. As well the Human Rights programme- Taku Manawa had a ‘talking pictures’ room- raising awareness of the 30 articles of the Declaration of Human Rights through photographs raising people’s understanding of their rights and responsibilities. Freedom of speech, freedom to worship and practise your faith all featured.

Climate Change With the need to get CO2 levels back down to 350ppm a G – Force rally day is organised on the international day, Sat 24 Sept, focusing on grans, grandads, grey power, grumpies….. and their concern to leave our earth in a habitable state for our grandchildren and future generations.

Yours in justice,Mrs J. Campbell Member of the Group

Social Justice Working Group Report Synod 2011

Members of the Social Justice Working Group are: Mr. Ralph Body, Rev. Claire Brown, Ms. Jenny Campbell, Dr. Geoff Cutfield, Rev. Tim Hurd, Ms. Pat Scott, Rev. Michael Wallace.

MembershipSince the last synod Dr. James Harding has stepped down as convenor and member of this working group. The Rev. Sue McCafferty has also finished her time with the group due to her move north. The group is grateful for James's and Sue's commitment to this group over the past couple of years.

MeetingsThe working group has met several times since the last synod; mostly at All Saints' Dunedin and once at St. Mary's Palmerston.

Activities1. Diocesan Lay Ministers' Conference In February, members of the group provided a workshop on

restorative justice at the Diocesan Lay Ministers' Conference at St Mark's Balclutha.

2. Diocesan Social Justice Training Day In June the group organised a Social Justice Training Day at St. Peter's Caversham. The day was for all Anglicans and especially for all parish social justice reps. About 20 people from 10 parishes participated in the day.

54

The day included: Keynote input from Rev. Jolyon White (Diocese of Christchurch Social Justice Enabler)on

strategic social justice networking and co-operation with communities Reporting from parishes about their social justice activities Social justice planning for parishes and the diocese

Short term goals from the day included: Creating a diocesan social justice database, (database would include: issues people are

motivated about, people's skill's, influential people in community and their self interest) Ending isolation of social justice reps - finding 1 or 2 others in each parish to support social

justice rep or form a parish social justice committee enhancing communication between social justice reps and with the whole diocese

Long term goals included: Increasing the advocacy capacity of the diocese Each Anglican parish becoming a stronger presence in their community Each Anglican parish becoming a living embodiment of Social Justice in their community Building connections with others involved in Social Justice locally and nationally Mainstreaming Social Justice in the diocese because it is at the heart of the Gospel Regular Social Justice training meetings

An important question for the diocese raised at the day was: What would the role of the diocese look like if everyone who lived in the diocese was considered part of the church?

3. Hillside Workshops rally Dunedin social justice reps organised attendance of around 30 Anglicans at the rally in support of

the workers at the Hillside Workshop.

4. Election questionnaire to help Anglicans in this diocese prepare for the election the Rev. Tim Hurd is working on an election questionnaire on behalf of the group. The questionnaire will be sent to candidates in the electorates in the diocese; the answers will then be compiled and circulated throughout the diocese.

Anglican Family Care ReportSynod 2011

Anglican Family Care Centre continues to deliver a range of social services in Dunedin, South Otago and Central Otago. We receive the bulk of our income from government contracts, and 1.8% of our income from the Diocese of Dunedin. Other income comes from the philanthropic sector including donations from parishes, individuals and businesses, and groups such as Otago Community Trust, Tindall Foundation, NZ Lotteries Grant Board, Central Lakes Trust, Trinity Foundation, Alexander McMillan Trust, Trustees Executors, DCC, Mercy Hospital and the Diocese of Dunedin. The work of volunteers including our Board, our caregivers and those who assist in the food bank greatly increases our capacity.

All of our services continue to be in heavy demand as the economic climate of rising prices and escalating unemployment adds to the deepening poverty we are seeing, with one in five families in New Zealand now living in poverty. Family violence is at epidemic proportions.

The Christchurch earthquake has had an impact on our service and on the whole social service sector, and this situation will be with us for some time to come.

The Family Start programme has been under review by Minister Bennett, leading to a new structure, higher compliance and intensive monitoring. We are working very hard to meet the additional requirements and we are proud of the difference we make in the lives of vulnerable children.

Our Child and Family Support Service, operating in Dunedin, South Otago and Central Otago, continues to face demands higher than our ability to respond. Additional government funds from the Community

55

Response Fund have allowed us to see more families, particularly in our budgeting service and in South Otago. Our counselling service has been under pressure in Dunedin, and we have lost funding for counselling in South Otago, with changes to domestic violence funding. We have secured a contract to deliver a new Family Centred Service in South Otago. Early in 2011 we changed the focus of our food bank and we now see only those who have children in their care. We know that giving food does not address the underlying causes of poverty, and that education in basic life skills, as well as advocacy and support, bring about more effective change. Families who engage with our services develop resilience and strength to overcome the challenges they face, of social isolation, family violence, poverty and despair. We assist with parenting, life skills and resilience, believing that education and support are the most effective intervention.

Over this past year we had a total of 4766 referrals to our services.

I have met with Archdeaconry groups in Dunedin, with a meeting scheduled in Cromwell for September. The support we receive from parishes is outstanding, and we could not do our work without you. We also acknowledge the `Friends of Anglican Family Care', those based in Balclutha and Alexandra who support our rural staff. We have held Board meetings in Balclutha and Alexandra followed by successful community forums.

I wish to thank the Board and staff for their commitment to the work of the agency, and to thank our many donors who make our work possible.

Association of Anglican Women ReportSynod 2011

Our Theme – to serve God Daily, Joyfully, Willingly

AAW continues in this Diocese with many dedicated women taking the leadership roles in each group. I’m afraid that I have to report the closure of yet another group, not because they didn’t believe in our aims -– to unite in prayer and participate in the Mission of the Church and to promote, safeguard and nurture Christian family life but because of the age of the members with no one wishing to take on any of the office bearers roles. We are now down to 21 groups with a total membership of 328 members. We also have 3 Lone Members and Life Members.

The Executive continue to meet 4 times a year. The only change we have had this year has been that of the Indoor Members Prayer Circle Convenor. Aynsley Harding has moved to Christchurch and Judy Goodall has very willingly taken on the role. I have to offer my sincere thanks to the members of the Executive for their unfailing support during the past 12 months and ask for it again during the next twelve months.

Over the past year I have attended the two New Zealand AAW Executive meetings in Wellington. This is a wonderful time to meet up with the Presidents of the other Diocese to share our problems and share ideas. It is a good time to meet with the other ladies not only for a business meeting but for a time of worship and socialising.

In February Margaret Tegg and I attended the Area Evening in Gore. This took the form of a Bible quiz and a catered meal. Thanks to a very knowledgeable team member I can at long last say I was in a winning team. A first for me. It was a lovely evening and gave me the chance to meet up with some of the ladies of Southland.

Our AGM – under the leadership of Bishop Kelvin – was held on 14 th May at St Nicholas, Waverley. A small but enthusiastic group of ladies attended. We began with a cuppa at 10am before moving into the church for the meeting. Everything flowed very nicely with no contentious issues. A communion and commissioning service was held just before lunch. In the afternoon we heard from Julie Anderson –

57

principal of Queens High School – as she told us of education at her school. A very pleasant day all round.

Looking ahead we have the New Zealand AAW President visiting the Diocese early November. We will be driving round the Diocese and look forward to meeting many of the ladies at their groups, at Area Days or following church services.

Once again in closing I thank all members for their continuing support and look forward to another year working for the betterment of Christian Family Life.

Association of Licensed Lay Ministers’ ReportSynod 2011

Committee Members: Jennifer King [Convenor], Jenny Campbell [Supervisor CAIRA], Alec Clark [Ministry Educator] Gillian Swift [Chaplain] Jim Brook [Chaplain North Otago], Verna Rutherford [Dunedin Hills], Lois Shallard [Southland], Carol Masters [Central Otago], Monty Montgomery [Dunedin Coastal] Ex-Officio: Bishop Kelvin and Diocesan Treasurer.

This past year has seen lay ministers faithfully assisting in worship services in their areas and supporting the ministry in their areas. They have also taken advantage of Education and Quiet Days offered knowing that this is required for their license. Thank you to the area co-ordinators who have organised these.

Financing the ALLM activities has been through contributions from parishes and a grant from St. John's College through the Ministry Educator and the Diocesan Treasurer manages our accounts.

The Establishing Boundaries Seminars offered by our Ministry Educator are a pre-requisite to re-licensing and areas have taken advantage of attending these.

Our Diocesan Education Day in Balclutha on February 12 th was well attended and the feedback received was positive and suggestions were offered for workshops next year. The committee meets on November 4th at Milton to organise the 2012 Education Day.

Thank you to my parish for supporting my attendance at the Ministry Conference in May which was a refreshing time and strengthened me for ministry. Thanks to the committee for their support and encouragement: to Alec Clark for his ministry as Diocesan Educator, Gillian as Chaplain and to Bishop Kelvin. Any problems I have had have been cheerfully managed by Debbie and Bronwyn.

Bishopric Endowment Fund Action Group ReportSynod 2011

1. At Synod 2009 a paper entitled “The Revitalisation of the Diocesan Foundation Appeal” was tabled, and subsequently published in the Diocesan Yearbook 2009 at pages 101-2. Because of insufficient time, no consideration was given to that paper, nor was the matter addressed by Diocesan Council in the year following that Synod.

2. At Synod 2010 Motion No.4 – Bishopric Endowment Fund was agreed. The full text of that motion was published in the Diocesan Yearbook 2010 at pages 37-38. For present purposes the key provisions of that motion were the following paragraphs:

“(d) Affirms in principle the desirability of raising the capital of the Bishopric Endowment Fund to the level where the Fund would produce sufficient income to meet total expenditure...

“(e) Agrees to appoint an Action Group to work with the Bishop to advance the ideas outline in the paper, and any other relevant proposals that the Group and the Bishop may consider appropriate, with a view to increasing the capital of the Bishopric Endowment Fund to that desired level, such Action Group to comprise The Reverend Roger Barker as convenor, two members appointed by Diocesan two members appointed by Diocesan Council and two members appointed by the Diocesan Trust Board, with power to co-opt additional members if and when the need arises; and

“(f) Further agrees that the Action Group shall report to Synod annually.

This report is now presented in accordance with that paragraph (f).

3. There was considerable delay in the appointment of members by Diocesan Council. While frustrating at the time, it proved providential because by the time it was all sorted out the full extent of the disaster that had befallen Christchurch had become clear. Given the desire of our diocese to be as generous and supportive as we could to our counterparts in the Diocese of Christchurch, it quickly became apparent to me that this year would not be the right time to urge our parishes to commit to increasing the capital of the Bishopric Fund. I therefore took the executive decision to put the proposal on hold for this year. Not one word of inquiry, much less of objection, was received from anyone in the diocese until July.

4. Those members of Synod who have followed this saga over recent years will know that the proposal currently on the table, in summary, is as follows:

(a) To focus our attention solely on the need to increase the capital of the Bishopric Fund to the point where it generates sufficient income to meet total expenditure from that Fund. In round terms, we need about $1,000,000.

(b) The central plank of this proposal is to apportion that target among the parishes on the same “fair share” basis on which suggested minimum contributions to the Diocesan budget are presently calculated.

(c) Parishes will be requested and encouraged to accept and achieve these separate targets, but there will be no compulsion to do so.

(d) Instead, there will be an attractive inducement to do so in the form of an exemption from that part of the requested contribution to the Diocesan Budget that is required to supplement the income of the Bishopric Fund. On present figures, that would mean an annual reduction in the requested minimum contribution of about 35-40 percent. The amount saved could be retained within the parish, or directed towards other diocesan ministry such as chaplaincy.

59

5. If this proposal is adopted considerable detailed work will be required, but there is no point in undertaking that work without a clear endorsement of the principles of the proposal by Synod. To help Synod representatives to get a picture of what would be involved for their parishes, a schedule of proposed parish targets is attached to this report. Again, some refinement of the maths would be needed before implementation.

6. I am grateful to Vin Maffey, Alistair Wright, Dot Muir and Mark Hughes for their willingness to join the action group. For the reasons outlined above no action has been required of them this year. Whether or not we are to take any action in the coming year is now in the hands of Synod.

CAIRA ReportSynod 2011

More people involved in ministry across the Diocese are recognising the value of supervision in being able to reflect on their ministry practice, to keep themselves and others safe. With trained people across the Diocese there is the option of being in supervision under the CAIRA model.

A national conference is being planned for November in Christchurch for trainers and current supervisors to become more familiar with the new curriculum, which has been professionally written and still using the original concepts and philosophy.

61

Plans are in hand for a website, new pamphlets and information.

Nearly every Diocese in Tikanga Pakeha along with some Hui Amorangi have taken up training more CAIRA supervisors, using this material from the two year course. Dunedin Diocese has a group of 4 in Dunedin who are about to graduate from their two year commitment. The group of 3 in Invercargill has moved in to the second year of the course. The people come from an ecumenical background.

More training groups are planned for next year in Dunedin Diocese.

The National Advisory Group ( NAG) is continuing to be convened by Rev’d Marilyn Welch from Auckland, meeting 3 times a year using funding granted through St John’s College Trust. Other members of the group come from Nelson, Christchurch and Waikato Dioceses.

Rangimarie,Mrs J. Campbell, CAIRA rep on National Advisory Group from Dunedin Diocese.

Added info:\The chance to be in supervision under the CAIRA model continues to be available on a koha basis for ALLM in particular, with more people aware of its availability and taking up the option. Supervision is one way of keeping people's practice safe and for those involved in ministry in any way in our Faith Communities, eg team convenors. It is another way of ensuring accountability and having a safe place to reflect and so improve the ministry people are involved in.

CAIRA is an acronym for the philosophy of Collegiality, Accountability, Identity, Responsibility, Authority.

It began in Dunedin Diocese about 14 years with Lay Ministers’ Assn seeing the need for having affordable supervision available for all its members. The first tutors were Revds Storm Swain and Erice Fairbrother. It is based on Storm’s Thesis

Cathedral Chapter ReportSynod 2011

The past twelve months have presented Chapter with some challenges.

Financial concerns have been dominant. The international fall in interest rates has had a serious impact upon the cathedral endowment and its ability to fund the ministry and various works for the maintenance of the cathedral fabric. This has necessitated a severe revision of the annual budget. Chapter is especially grateful to Mr Malcolm Wong for his assistance and for his assent to serve as Chair of the Finance Committee.

The attention of Chapter was significantly engaged with an employment issue related to the Director of Music. The issue had been under Chapter’s scrutiny for two years and it has now been resolved and the

62

incumbent has resigned. Since then Chapter has appointed a working group to advise on Cathedral Music and to undertake the search for a new cathedral organist and choral director.

The question of the Cathedral apse and undercroft redevelopment continues to command attention. Our best intentions and hopes for some progress have been delayed by the questions that the changes in the economic outlook have presented concerning the availability of potential funding On the question of the apse, the working group appointed by Chapter has not reached unanimity on the basic concept but it is hoped that some visualizations will help clarify the debate. For the undercroft, the installation of the kitchen has been reconsidered and it is now thought likely that this can be achieved without waiting upon other projected renovations.

Dunedin Diocese Cursillo ReportSynod 2011

Diary of activities

28th August 2010 – Ultreya held at St Johns, Invercargill. A cafeteria style which required you to move around from table to table so everyone was interacting. It felt warm & informal and in my opinion worked really well.

22-25th October 2010 – Cursillo Combined 16 was held at Holy Cross Mosgiel and the Lay Director was Margaret MacLanahan from St John’s Roslyn. 15 pilgrims attended & it was a very successful weekend.Nos for pilgrims was down on previous years & they were slow coming in which brought up the question ‘do we still run a 3 day weekend even if numbers are very low?’ We decided not to have a 3 day weekend this year but rather to get out into our parishes to energise people in their faith & to pass on the wonderful gifts we received at our own Cursillo weekend.

20th November 2010 – Dunedin Diocese Cursillo’s 10th Birthday Celebration.

63

A combined Ultreya with Christchurch was held at St John’s, Roslyn to celebrate 10 years since Christchurch Diocese gifted Cursillo to the Dunedin Diocese. Bishop Kelvin farewelled Keith Gover as National Lay Director for the last 6 years as well as Grant Davis as the diocese Lay Director, for his term of 3 years. Margaret MacLanahan was congratulated on becoming the new National Secretary/Treasurer & Joanne Hook was welcomed as the new Diocese Lay Director.

12th February 2011 – Combined Ultreya-Christchurch & Dunedin in Timaru.Theme of the day was ‘doors of opportunity’ with Grant Davis doing the Witness Talk on doors of opportunity in his life. Dunedin DLD talked on how Cursillo might facilitate wider possibilities for ministry in the community.

26th February 2011 – Ultreya held at St Aiden’s, Alexandra. A very thought provoking witness talk from Esmae MacDonald & Judy Ringland-Stewart shared her Compostella Pilgrimage with us accompanied by some fantastic projected photos all throughout her talk. People were simply buzzing afterwards.

16th April 2011 – ‘Taste of Waimea’. A small bunch of southern cursillistas inspired by Richard Johnson’s brainwave, sent out invitations to all Waimea district Anglican parishioners, inviting them to a day of gifting. Fellow cursillistas were also invited to come along and support the day. Food was provided for morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea. There was 2 amazing heartfelt witness talks by cursillista Ailsa Dawson of Lumsden & +Kelvin. We had 5 Lumsden parishioners attend & even though the no’s were low, the Holy Spirit was indeed huge that day. We were all truly blessed & intend to cater more of these gifting days now renamed ‘Food N Faith’, to the more remote & smaller districts.

7th May 2011 – Ultreya held at St Lukes, Oamaru. The theme of the day was ‘Seasons’ & the witness talk was by Jennifer King. Another good day where all that attended were blessed. A lot of food was prepared but unfortunately only 4 visiting cursillistas attended. This was disappointing for the Oamaru team & it will have an impact on their decision to hold future ultreyas there.

18th June 2011 – NZACC held at All Saints, Hataitai, Wellington. A full day of discussions with our new Waiapu reps welcomed into the fold. Wellington diocese is truly inspirational with their outreach & John Roche DLD was very helpful on the techno side of things. Making us aware that we probably need to move forward in that area in the very near future.

Upcoming Events:20th August – Ultreya in Gore.12th November – Ultreya in DunedinThere will be a 3 day weekend in 2012.We would like to get away from the image that Cursillo sometimes has as the ‘secret society’ and are encouraging our cursillistas to invite fellow parishioners along to their 4 th day groups & ultreyas. We have nothing to hide but a whole lot to offer. Cursillo is not a separate organisation but a movement within the Anglican Church that’s aim is to come alongside and work with other Christians. To show God’s love & touch others lives by sharing the message about Jesus Christ especially to those in our communities who are facing challenges i.e. unemployed, single parents, etc. Of course like any faith community we would like to attract younger people and men into Cursillo and we will be addressing that by trying to involve more men & younger pilgrims in our 3 day weekends.

Cursillo also fits well into the ‘strategic planning’ for our diocese as there have been many cursillistas that have gone onto becoming leaders and active members in our churches. Pilgrims after leaving the 3 day weekend are usually energised and keen so it would be a great time to encourage them in becoming more involved within the church if they are not already. The 4th day group reunions which can be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly provide a means of supporting & challenging the continued journey & ministry of each member. Unfortunately in some areas these groups have folded so the secretariat may need to run some workshops to revitalise and encourage further development for these members.

May God bless your weekend.

Earl Street Charitable TrustSynod 2011

It has been a roller coaster year that saw three tenant renewals falling due and two of those electing not to renew and the third at a lower effective rate. At its worst the property fell to 47% occupancy. Since that time we have managed to secure 3 further tenants to increase to 76%. At time of writing we still have 2 vacant tenancies and one large ground floor tenancy that is significantly under rented however the Boards view that an under rented tenancy meeting the open contributions is better than vacant. The unfortunate events in Christchurch have provided a positive stimulus to the Queenstown commercial property market with the relocation of a small number of businesses that has taken up a portion of the surplus capacity. We continue to seek out tenants for the remaining tenancies to ensure all stakeholders in the project receive commensurate remuneration.

There were no changes in the Board during the year and our local property committee chaired by Russell Hamilton dealt with interest from a number of new tenant inquiries both unsuccessful and successful.

Once again we are thankful the support of the Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board.

Otago Healthcare Chaplaincy Support TrustSynod 2011

Three key strategies will guide the Otago Healthcare Chaplaincy Support Trust over the next five years with the completion of the Trust’s first strategic plan:

To maintain and improve the Trust’s existing Chaplaincy services at the Dunedin and Wakari sites, including an ongoing review of resourcing.

The Trust is aware that the relocation of Ward 1A (acute psychiatric) from Dunedin Hospital to Wakari will place additional travel demands on the service.

To increase the Trust’s volunteer support base to help sustain the service.

Specifically, the Trust aims to increase the number of Chaplaincy assistants to 15 by July 2014, to recruit five new groups to the people moving roster, two new hosts/hostesses and another organist.

To ensure a sound financial base for Hospital Chaplaincy.

One of the areas the Trust intends to devote more time to is its connection with churches in the wider Dunedin area. It has set a goal of lifting its profile in approximately 100 churches by 2013 by offering a speaker, a preacher or a video for their use.

Despite the high level of public donations to both the Canterbury and Japanese natural disaster appeals, the Chaplaincy street appeal in March raised over $8,000 – a very positive result in extraordinary circumstances and a firm acknowledgement of the value that the people of Otago place on the Chaplaincy

service.

Otago Tertiary Chaplaincy Trust Board ReportSynod 2011

The Otago Tertiary Chaplaincy Board is very grateful for the financial and prayer support provided by the Anglican Diocese. This support is vital to the on-going work of Chaplaincy at the University of Otago and at Otago Polytechnic.

The Board has continued to employ two full-time ecumenical Chaplains, Rev Greg Hughson and Mr Mike Wright. Mrs Lyn Meinders is a volunteer member of the ecumenical team and Mrs Rosie Victor-Hoogland, employed by International Student Ministries is also associated with the team. Our ecumenical team works in partnership with the Catholic Chaplains, Rev Mark Chamberlain, Mr Paul Armstrong and Mrs Amy Armstrong.

The Board has been working on a range of matters in the last year, including a Mission Statement, which I give here:

The Otago Tertiary Chaplaincy Trust Board recognises and seeks to honour the Treaty of Waitangi and exists to provide Chaplaincy services which deliver quality pastoral care, spiritual support and educational resourcing to all Otago University and Otago Polytechnic students and staff. We aim to be ever open to developing new and creative approaches in response to the changing needs of the campus communities we serve, as vital expressions of our Church’s mission to the world God loves.

Our work as a Board involves these four “Purpose Statement”:1. To affirm and encourage the spiritual dimension in the educational endeavour. 2. To encourage and contribute to the wise use of knowledge.3. To foster community within, and promote links between Otago University and Otago Polytechnic, and local and national Christian and other-than-Christian faith communities.4. To participate in the provision of quality pastoral care.

We have also been clarifying arrangements for Volunteer Chaplains and have arranged for a group of people to be “Locum Chaplains” in times of emergency.

A Tertiary Chaplaincy Consultative Body has also been established this year. Its membership is the Vice-Chancellor of the University and the CEO of the Polytechnic or their nominees, the Chair of the OTCTB or their nominee and the Catholic Bishop of Dunedin or his Nominee; together with representatives of the recognised student bodies of both Institutions. It will consider a range of matters relating to Chaplaincy at the University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic and will provide a very helpful forum for discussion and communication.

We are very grateful for the contribution made by the two Anglican Representatives on the Board, Dr James Harding and Rev Michael Wallace. We greatly appreciate their work and the strong link they provide with the Diocese of Dunedin.

Our most sincere thanks again, for the financial and prayer support provided by the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin, both of which are vital for the ongoing ministry of Chaplaincy here.

‘Shaping the Church for Mission’ 2010/11

Missions giving to AMBI wish to thank all parishes that have contributed to Anglican Missions Board in the past year. Your contributions are valued and are central to us being a mission shaped church.

How did we do?Out target, or Pledge for 2010 was $61,000Our actual contribution for 2010 came out at 90% of this at $55,134

Where are we at now?For 2011 we pledged $61,000

How are we doing this year?As at May 2011

Actual to May 2011 18,119.59Pledge to May 2011 25,417.00

Difference to May 2010 -3,105.07Difference to pledge -7,297.41

As at May 2011 we are reaching 71.29% of our pledge.

We need to lift our giving, if we are to come close to our pledge. I want to encourage all mission reps/motivators and treasures to ensure that their parish mission giving is in line with our diocesan pledge. The only way we as a diocese meet this is by individual parishes contributing to it.

Visitors to Dunedin DioceseThis past year we have had a number of visitors to the Diocese from the world of overseas mission.

February, Ann and Anthony McCormick, now serving in Cambodia May, Joanna Frampton, serving in Papua New Guinea June, AMB CEO Robert Kereopa

Please let me know if you wish to have a visiting missions speaker come to your faith community. This will help me plan for upcoming deputations.

2011 Common Life Missions Conference: Shaping the Church for MissionThe conference was held in July in Waikanae attracting about 550 delegates from throughout New Zealand and overseas. It also dovetailed with an international SOMA Missions Conference.

The keynote speaker, Archbishop Ben Kwashi the Anglican Diocese of Jos, Nigeria – and also international chairman of SOMA challenged the New Zealand church to live up to the calling that it has. He spoke on Jesus’ great commissioning of the church in Matthew 28:19: “Go and make disciples of all nations…” That commission, he said, is non-negotiable. It’s a duty to God, to others – and to ourselves.

Bishop Richard Ellena – who is on the AMB, President of CMS and Chairman of SOMA NZ, and who was chaplain to the conference, writes on the impact of the conference:

“I’m passionate, about Tikanga Pakeha making the paradigm shift from maintenance to mission. Maintenance is not just a barrier to mission – it’s the very opposite to mission. Over the past few days some people have begun to make that paradigm shift. I suspect all three tikanga will now be seriously grappling with the concept of mission.”

While it was not possible for a large number of people from our diocese to travel to the conference, this time the conference also came to us in the form of post conference deputations from conference speakers.

Dunedin Diocese welcomed Archbishop David Vunagi of the Province of Melanesia Sister Kalo, from St. Christophers orphanage in Fiji. St Matthews hosted a SOMA mission team from Fiji led by Bishop Gabriel.

Tikanga Pakeha Missions Council: Short term missions funding. The major focus for Tikanga Pakeha Missions Council this last year has been establishing a funding system for supporting short term missions trips.

It would be expected the funding would be in the vicinity of $2,000 subsidy per trip. TPMC can exercise discretion.

The grant needs to be expended in the year for which it was applied for. Application needs to be made to TPMC by the 30th of June each year.

Funding will allocated in line with AMB priorities for mission.

AMB Priorities for Mission Anglican Church in Papua New Guinea Other South Pacific Regions: Diocese of Polynesia (Tonga, Samoa, Fiji), Anglican Church in

Melanesia (Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caladonia) Tanzania, South East Asia and connections with Anglican Mission Partners in various countries

overseas.

This is a great and timely opportunity to encourage the sending of a short term missions trip from the Dunedin Diocese.

For the future. Perhaps the most pressing need is the re-establishing of a Diocese Oversees Mission Committee.

Mission motivator training. Mike Hawke, AMB church support officer will be coming to the diocese later in the year,

Many thanks to all those who support overseas Mission from this Diocese, be encouraged, God is alive in mission.

Selwyn College Board of Governors ReportSynod 2011

Board Membership 2011The Bishop, Mr R. J. M. Sim (Chairman), Rev’d Dr David Clark (Warden) The Very Rev’d Dr T. James, Professor P. Tapsell, Ms M. Bell, Rev’d V Galletly, Mrs A Barsby, Messrs T. Heaton, (SCSA representative) L.F. Dey, C.J Doudney, J. Harraway.

Report From the Chair:

70

The past 12 months have again been most successful ones for Selwyn College. As I did last year, I feel able to report the Board’s confidence that the College is operating entirely consistently with the Fundamental Objects enunciated in the Selwyn College Statute.

The College’s reputation continues to ensure fierce competition for places. The Board has engaged in careful debate about the criteria which should guide the Warden in making offers of places, with contribution to community, sporting, cultural and academic success, Anglican involvement and alumni connection all having a place in what is always a most difficult task.

The accounts for 2010 which are tabled for Synod confirm a very successful operating year and an improved financial position overall. This reflects the setting of more realistic fees since 2009 and ongoing tight control of expenses. The College operates on lean staffing, and all staff are to be thanked for, and congratulated on, their contributions over the year.

The Rev’d Dr David Clark has completed three and a half years as Warden in which time he has done much to give effect to the three-fold vision of the College as a community of mutual care, valuing broad education and concerned with the spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing of its members.

In the past year, Dr Clark has been confirmed as the Labour Candidate for Dunedin North for the upcoming election. This may well foreshadow changes in the organisation in the coming year; the Board has satisfied itself that it is well-placed in terms of both interim arrangements, and ability to attract replacements, should Dr Clark be successfully elected to Parliament in November.

The Senior Common Room restoration project mentioned in last year’s Synod report was completed in November with a blessing ceremony, which was followed by a formal dinner with invited guests that included board members, College Fellows and University staff.

Last year, the College also purchased the strategically significant property adjacent the College at 69 Dundas Street. The existing building and site have been upgraded and brought into the College to provide additional rooms, carparks and a small lawn area. In the past 12 months, corridors in Whitehead and Richardson have had significant upgrades, as has the student common room. These improvements have been welcomed by students.

As the Board has focused on the implications of the Strategic Plan which it has adopted during the year, it has obtained reports on structural, electrical, and fire-safety aspects of the heritage rated Whitehead accommodation block. There is clearly much that can, and is going to need to, be done to ensure the building is fit to provide accommodation for coming decades.

Building maintenance is only one part of the sustainability picture. The Board also continues to explore opportunities to develop the facilities of the College to allow for growth. The Strategic Plan contains recognition that the future interests of the College will be served by increasing the size of the College’s community to a level that provides additional economies of scale while preserving the close knit functioning of the College community.

Addressing maintenance and expansion issues will require the raising of very significant funds. Approaches to alumni, the University of Otago, local and national trusts and other possible partners, as well as commercial loans, are likely to be required. The Strategic Plan reflects the Board’s view that as these matters advance there is likely to be advantage to both College and Diocese in the College pursuing incorporation - as is already provided for its Statute.

The past year has seen stability on the Selwyn College Board of Governors. Many Board members are long serving, and a number of the more recently appointed members have joined others in serving on active committees of the Board. The secretarial requirements of the Board continue to be well served by Diocesan and Trust Board Manager Bronwyn Miller.

With a strong Board, up to date governance policies, a clear strategic plan, and a stable and productive staff, and above all a healthy community, the College is in excellent heart.

Mr D. SimChairman - Board of Governors

Selwyn College Warden’s ReportSynod 2011

Selwyn continues to move from strength to strength. Articulated by the Board in the updated College Statute adopted by Synod two years ago, community values of mutual respect and care have become increasingly inculcated in students’ self-understanding. On the academic front, last year’s final results saw a pleasing number of students accepted into limited entry courses such as law and medicine.

While students continue to succeed at the College, there have been some personnel changes. The College office has two new staff members, partly necessitated by news that the diocesan office would no longer process Selwyn’s financial accounts. The senior management team has handled this change process well, and payroll and accounts are now being generated in-house.

All Saints’ vicar, the Rev’d Michael Wallace is in his second year as Chaplain to the College. Michael has been developing connections with staff and students through the six annual College services of worship

72

held at All Saints, and through pastoral connections. Having a chaplain in the College is both pastorally important and an important signal to students about the College’s Anglican nature.

Choral scholarships, developed in partnership with All Saints Church, have added a significant new dimension to College life in 2011. Regular attendance by Selwyn students at All Saints worship has served to strengthen the already warm relationship between College and church, and added further attraction to those prospective College applicants with a church music background.

Notable too has been the Selwyn choir’s successes outside of worship, beating both College House and previously untouchable Knox in this year’s competitions.

The Selwyn College Students’ Association committee, elected from among returning students, does an excellent job of organising the sporting, cultural and social activities in the College. Members of the College continue to be active in a wide range of activities beyond their studies. Notable this year was a bus trip to Christchurch to assist with quake-relief efforts during student orientation week in February. This trip replaced the usual cultural exchange with College House. A full 18 students in the College were from Christchurch, many having arrived in Dunedin for the first time only days before. Many College students donated both time and money to assist with the clean-up operation. In August, a truncated exchange with College House took place in Dunedin over one weekend, rather than two.

Another notable event on this year’s College calendar was the annual rugby match against Knox College. This is one of 13 sporting codes that contribute towards the Cameron Shield competition each year. This year’s rugby game was the first in the new Forsyth Barr Stadium. Selwyn students enjoyed a deserved 32:13 victory, and much associated publicity.

Otago University continues to attract a high number first year students from outside Dunedin, and Selwyn College this year again had a high application rate per available bed. Our history, community life and the high standards of academic achievement are cited as reasons for applying by prospective applicants. Sadly, given the misfortune that prompts it, demand at Otago is expected to firm yet further in the wake of the Canterbury earthquakes.

Leslie Groves Home and Hospital ReportSynod 2011

The Leslie Groves Rest Home and Hospital started the financial year with the number of residents being of concern. As the result of the closure of some aged care providers our position improved significantly and the majority of the year has seen a very satisfactory occupancy level. The Day Centre has been kept close to full with new and returning clients.

Our Hospital facilities on Taieri Road have been of concern to us as they date back to a period when expectations of one person to a room with an en suite were not considered a necessity. To attract new residents and be able to provide the best care for residents we have developed a master plan for the future, assisted by Mason and Wales architects. We have now reached the stage where construction has commenced on the construction of 31 new bedrooms with en suite, new lounges, kitchen, laundry reception area, chapel and new entrance from Helensborough Road.

Further development will be required to progressively bring the hospital to a high standard. The care we provide will continue during these alterations and additions. For some time we have been proceeding with a planned purchase of additional land adjacent to the

73

hospital. Although the District Health Board has agreed we have been delayed in the sale by the requirements of Crown Law office. We are hopeful that this will be completed in the next twelve months. Following on from the earthquake in Christchurch on the 22nd February we were able to assist 10 residents from an Anglican hospital which had become uninhabitable. They arrived with short notice and Lyneta our Principal Nurse Manager made a plea for volunteer assistance for helping at meal times. With Elisabeth Cunningham’s organisational ability 30 volunteers, mainly from St. John’s, came to assist and many of them are still involved. I am pleased to report especially under these circumstances that we have had a successful result for this past financial year.

The “Residents & Friends of Leslie Groves” has been busy giving support to residents at the home. Bev Rowlands has been superb in organising this support group.

The Rev’d David Crook has been our part time Chaplain and retired in May after two years service. Barbara Dineen has taken on the duties of organising the Chaplaincy support and we are fortunate to have Barbara, Jan Clark, Margaret, and Elisabeth actively involved with services and pastoral support. Earlier in the year we had Roger Barker in the team. They have all made a significant contribution to the residents at the home and hospital.

We are also blessed with a stream of people entertaining with music etc. including our own music and movement group whilst Noelene Maffey’s creative flower arrangements are always admired. This has all added up to a successful year with our residents leading a life that gives them the opportunity to feel very much a part of our church community.

A very special thank you to our principal nurse manager Lyneta supported by Sally on keeping the standard of care to residents and all the other activities together during this busy and important time of change.

The members of the board have remained as per the previous year and I would like to thank them for their great support to progress Leslie Groves for the future. The board is comprised of; Alan Dunbar, Stephen Grant, Leigh Hale, Jenny Lewis, Vin Maffey, Jubilee Rajiah, Bev Rowlands, Brian Tegg and Malcolm Wong.

North Otago Anglican Homes for the Aged TrustSynod 2011

The Trust owns and operates the nineteen cottages for the elderly in the two complexes - St. Luke’s Place and St. Mary’s Place in Oamaru. During the past year there has been one change of tenancy, and the Trust has a waiting list for prospective tenants.

Although applicants are usually from or near Oamaru, the Trust is willing to receive applications from further afield, and parishioners in the diocese who are seeking more suitable housing are welcome to apply.

The Trust has again affirmed its policy of asking new tenants to make a loan of $5000 to the Trust, with interest at 3% being paid annually. The loan is for five years or the duration of the tenancy, whichever is the longer.

We have a programme of on-going maintenance in action, with our Property Manager responding to any requests for maintenance issue. The Trust is proud of its project, which now has a capital value of $1,380,000, and believes it fills an important role in the social structure of the town.

At the present time we have no plans for extension.

The Home of St Barnabas Trust General Managers ReportSynod 2011

The Home of St Barnabas Trust has provided 55 years of service to the elderly. This is the first full year our new kitchen has been up and running. A new kitchen may sound a small thing, but this was a major refit – the result of much hard work and made possible by generous community support. It has made it possible for us to expand our Meals on Wheels service substantially.

Providing this service fits in well with our mission to help care for people in the community who are elderly or disabled. Increasing costs have seen a number of private providers exit Meals on Wheels and we are pleased to be able to step into the breach. It illustrates why it is vital that charities like ours continue to operate. We cannot rely entirely on commercial services to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community.

This year, we delivered just shy of 44,000 meals – an increase of almost 15,000 over the previous year. With greater capacity, we have been able to offer a six-day service each week and the option of frozen meals which have proved popular. We have also been able to expand our delivery areas to include most of the city – from Green Island to North East Valley and Halfway Bush to Andersons Bay.

To meet the needs of our clients we have provided meal deliveries over most public holidays and without the willing support of Age Concern, staff, volunteers and Courier Post drivers we would not have been able to achieve this. We record our thanks and appreciation to Barbara Sanderson and her team in the kitchen, our Meals on Wheels co-ordinator Lynette Keith, our contract drivers and our volunteer drivers: Ian and May Condie, Faye Gill, Bob Houliston, Debbie and Neville Kershaw, Eleanor Leckie, Val Lott, Barry and Sharon Mayfield, Deborah Mills, Mavis Needham, Frances Smithson, Noeline Thompson, and Mary Watson. We are grateful to the Dunedin City Council Community Grants Scheme, Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust, Mainland Foundation and the Southern Victorian Charitable Trust for donations towards driver’s wages. The service simply could not exist in its current expanded format without volunteer help and donations.

We acknowledge with thanks the donation of $2,000 from the Dunedin Community Grants Scheme, $3,315 from Healthcare Otago Charitable Trust, $3,315 from Mainland Foundation and $1,000 from Southern Victoria Trust towards driver’s wages. A special thank you to the Marsh Family Trust and Cook Howlison for the donation of Xmas cakes for our meals on wheels clients

Apart from the Meals on Wheels service we continue to cater for parish and community group functions. This service helps link us as an integral and vital part of both our Anglican and Dunedin Community. 1

While we were not able to reach our target fundraising for the new kitchen we do acknowledge the generosity of Arnold Bachop and Friends for the delightful Duets and Desserts evening which raised $2,000 towards the project and also those individuals who have contributed through out the year. We also acknowledge with special thanks the following donations: The Otago Masonic Charitable Trust of $2,198 for an Air Pressure Mattress, the Grace Gillanders Trust / Perpetual Trustees of $2,416 for a Domiflex Ultra Low bed and mattress and the Friends of St Barnabas of $500 for a Wii Interactive Exercise Programme.

Despite our occupancy rate remaining steady at around 92%, and additional income from Meals and Wheels, we have been unable to balance the books this year. This is not unusual for a facility with relatively few beds and significant fixed costs. The reality is that increases in the cost of basics like food, utilities and maintenance easily outstrip modest increases in income. As a result, we recorded a loss for the year of $114,377. Of this, $22,1301 can be attributed to finance costs on our mortgage to fund the shortfall in funding for the new kitchen. The management and trustees will continue to work - together with our sponsors the Diocese of Dunedin – to find ways to improve our financial performance while providing excellent and much needed services to our residents and the wider community. It has long been our view that Anglican community services in the Diocese need to work together to share expertise, costs and resources and we will continue to advocate for this.

1 The $35,157 figure in the Statement of Financial Performance also includes interest paid on our mortgage on 17A Coughtrey Street.

76

Very few homes have the support of a dedicated group as we do in the Friends of St Barnabas Home. The efforts of Gwen Stapleton and her team make a huge contribution to our residents’ comfort and quality of life. Once again, this year, our Friends have been busy visiting, arranging outings and activities, helping with chapel services and fundraising to repair or provide new items for the home.

On behalf of the residents we express our appreciation for the wonderful outings and activities arranged by the Friends. To those parishes who help with hosting outings with the Friends thank you for not only enriching the lives of the residents but also your support to the Friends of St. Barnabas. The continued involvement with the Diocese is an important component of the life of St. Barnabas and we thank Bishop Kelvin for his support and to the Diocesan Office staff for your continued support and encouragement.

Within our residential care service we continue to adjust to meet the challenges of the increasing frailty and higher care needs of people entering our service. It is a privilege to provide service and care to residents and we remember with affection those residents who have over the previous year passed away. We acknowledge and thank Rev Carl Sommers Edger who as Chaplain provided valuable support for residents and staff at these difficult times. The retirement of Rev Carl Somers Edgar as Vicar of St Peters looked like the end of a long and valued relationship as our Chaplaincy agreement was with St Peters Parish. We were pleased that as an interim agreement the Rev Carl Somers Edgar would continue to serve as visiting Clergy to St Barnabas.

It is always a pleasure to share in celebrating special occasions with residents and families and this year we celebrated several significant birthdays with Mrs Parks 96 th, Miss Petrie 99th, Mrs Kennedy 100th, and Mrs McMillan 103rd. The residents have also had a busy year with the knitting group making sixteen rugs to send overseas and participating in activities to fundraise for Cancer Society, and the SPCA.

While we are very appreciative of all the support we receive from the community we have also been proactive in providing support to the wider community and we have made donations to St Clair / Concord School, Kids Foundation Charity Show, Angel Fund Children’s Party and Heart Children Big Day Out. Our prayers and thoughts have been with everyone in Christchurch following the February earthquake and together residents and staff contributed to supplying 65 lunch boxes for the Student Army, a donation to the Red Cross appeal, providing blankets to St John, and clothes provided to Leith House for the elderly transferred from Christchurch.

Throughout the year the residents have enjoyed many special outings and activities. To the staff and volunteers who have gone the extra mile to provide entertainment and assist with outings we thank you. Once again we have been very well supported by community groups in a range of entertainment and activities. While there are too many groups to name individually we take this opportunity to thank you for the pleasure you have provided to our residents. To Marie Bell, Diane Taylor and Robert Rendel thank you for your skill in transforming the home into a special place for the Christmas Season.

Thank you to the Staff Social club for the donation of a big screen TV and a bench fridge for the day room it is this ongoing commitment to the life of the Home which helps to build and strengthen the family. We wish Janice Gillam all the best for her retirement after fifteen years’ service.

With the increasing emphasis from the District Health Board to keep people at home our occupancy level dropped over the later part of the year but we were still able to achieve an overall occupancy of 92%. We continue to maintain our profile as a provider of quality care and we thank Stacey Hood, Colleen Pacey and Heather Hatfield for their ongoing commitment to staff training and quality improvement. and Kaye Smith, Steve Robinson and staff for their ongoing commitment to the maintenance and presentation of the Home and gardens

Through our membership with Anglican Care Network, NZCCSS (New Zealand Christian Council of Social Services) and NZACA (New Zealand Aged Care Association) we continue to advocate for improved funding and more appropriate services across the aged care sector.

The ongoing contribution to the wellbeing and success of the Trust through proactive governance and voluntary effort by the board members is invaluable and we thank Felicia Wade for her support and guidance during her time as a Trustee and as Chairman. We wish Felicia all the best for the future. The management team and staff take this opportunity to thank the trustees for the support received throughout the past year.

Southland Hospital Chaplaincy ReportSynod 2011

Chaplaincy services at Southland hospital are in good heart. The team of three part-time Chaplains, assisted by three volunteer Chaplaincy assistants, continue to provide a 24 hour covering Chaplaincy service.

We have been heartened by the financial support from parishes and fund raising around the diocese, the proceeds of which go to continuing this valuable service. We continue to upskill by attending in-service training breakfast meetings at the hospice, and other courses as they become available. We were grateful to Rev. Guus Lukkein who provided locum cover to enable us all to attend the New Zealand

78

Healthcare Chaplains Biennial Conference last year.

One of the highlights of this year was our first invitation to speak to the junior doctors. Another was when an occupational therapist made a Chaplaincy referral – and noted that it was her first in four years of working. We do appreciate it when we receive referrals – so if you have a parishioner who would like a visit while in hospital please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will make a special effort to connect with them.

Southland Regional Support Priest’s ReportSynod 2011

With the support of St. John’s Trust fund in Auckland and the generosity of the Winton and Western southland parishes the diocese has been able to offer a half stipend position in the Southland Archdeaconry.

I took up this position in July 2010 and have secured funding until December 2011. Hopefully this will continue through 2012.

The following projects have been started during this time:1. Waimea Plains liturgy support. St Bartholomew’s Athol have started meeting Friday

nights once a month for all Age Worship. We finish our night at the local coffee bar for

79

drinks and cake! The young people seem to be enjoying this more informal style of church and older members are most supportive.The other end of the parish, Waikaia, Riversdale and Balfour are experimenting meeting as a worshipping cluster. Winton parish has been supported with Eucharistic ministry twice a month. We have been working closely with their Enabler to pass leadership and parish story to the next generation.

2. St. John’s Invercargill and Holy Trinity Gore have been looking at and trialling a more relaxed style of “Come as you are” liturgy using stations around the church. This has been seen as a stepping stone to Messy Church maybe in the future.

3. I have been available weekly on a Thursday at St. John’s Invercargill to meet with anyone wanting support, a listening ear, coffee, resources or a priestly presence.

4. A group was formed to provide a CAIRA supervisors two year course so more people will be trained supervisors for Southland.

5. An Education for Ministry Group will start in Invercargill 5th September

6. I have visited most parishes in southland, supported our Enabler and networked with people through Archdeaconry meetings.

7. I am currently working on gathering those under fifty years of age in the Archdeaconry to look at the shape they want to take their church into the future.

This position is going through an internal review of the job description to see how more effective we can be in offering support to Southland parishes who have no vicar or enable support.

Southland Tertiary Chaplaincy ReportSynod 2011

Seven years 2004-2011 of successful and continuous full time Southland Tertiary Chaplaincy have been completed. This is the work of Chaplain Lisa Stuart along with the support of a dedicated and committed inter-denominational Board. It has been a consistent and determined process to achieve this goal in a very secular environment. It is a tremendous achievement and viable ministry of presence in the market place and on the frontlines of the mission of the church. Also, it is a credit to the vision of the Anglican Church to understand the value of Chaplaincy and the openness to work together at with other churches to fulfill a common goal of Christian presence on the Tertiary campuses in Southland.

On campus the Chaplaincy is an integral part of student services and the institutions. Each course of study has an orientation programme; student services, including Chaplaincy, offers an overview of its service at these and referrals are often made between services, this is a mark of achievement recognising Chaplaincy as a professional and significant service to the students.

The Chaplain’s office has an open door policy. Chaplaincy is to be easily accessible and available. However, the Chaplain circulates around all the campuses of the educational institutions at the Southern Institute of Technology, Invercargill, Gore and Queenstown campuses, Otago University College of Education on Nelson Street; The Southland Community College and on call with the YMCA education centre and English Partners, which at any time can average to 15.000 individuals (a large parish).

Tertiary education operates in a secular environment, meaning that there is no prejudice of race, culture, creed or discrimination of any nature. This allows for all people to be on equal footing without bias, able to live and be faithful to their own values and spirituality. The role of the Chaplain in this environment is to assist people to be faithful to their spiritual values. A person’s spirituality is that which gives meaning and value to their lives. These are often questioned, reassessed and confirmed or altered in the course of the tertiary study. The Chaplain is often sought out as the one, to take the time to listen, to reflect and to enable the process of exploring and owning one’s spirituality. It is part of the education of the whole person.

Chaplaincy is a sacred ministry. To be invited to be a part of the lives of other people, to be trusted with what is very personal and sometimes close to the heart of the individual; to be asked to pray for needs hopes and even the success of goals to be achieved, is a blessing and a God given moment of grace. A friendly greeting, a word of encouragement or a two minute conversation can make all the difference to a student‘s comfort or need of reassurance. The goal is always to walk with the person in their time and place. This is also very true in building relationships with staff. When a person is at peace with oneself, she or he can go about their day completing their work and study in a wholesome manner.

The agenda of the individual is the starting point of any discussion with the Chaplain. Issues range from homesickness, struggle with study, adjusting to student life, relationships etc. Emotions range from sadness and confusion to joy and the exhilaration that comes with goals achieved. Students will raise the question or issues related to their faith. These range from a faith connection based on family history, e.g. Grandparents belonging to a denomination, to very active life in church life. Through the Chaplain many students do connect and participate in the life and worship of faith communities in the city. In this sense Chaplaincy achieves a connection between student life and the Christian community.

The number of international students for the post-graduate study has increased. These students have cultural, language, environmental and specific adjustments in New Zealand’s multicultural, multi faith and diverse society. Pastoral care is important during the initial adjustment period. The Southern Institute of Technology has a robust orientation programme for all students. The Chaplain, also an international, is often engaged in conversation to share their initial NZ experiences. Many of the internationals are from Christian backgrounds. Active Christian students want to participate in their practiced denomination. Churches are one place where Christian international students feel at home. For others it is a safe place

to integrate into NZ life and still others to explore what may be only heard of in their own home country. Students coming from other parts of NZ also show an interest in being connected with a faith community. Retention work is enabling the student to refocus, to not give up and to look forward to completing what they have started. Students who find their courses challenging or overwhelming may decide to quit.

81

Pressing problems can distract a student from focusing on study and career goals. Recent Ministry of Education policies have changed, requiring more stringent criteria for student funding of which course completion is significant. The Chaplain’s goal is to support the person but also to encourage completion of study with a view to future achievement, employment and a quality of life. That qualified skills can offer. Discussing issues and options can often enable a student to refocus and envision their completions of their programme.

The Chaplain is full time and on call 24/7. There have been requests to meet with individuals outside of the 9 to 5 work or study day. The total population of individual staff and students varies throughout the year. Certificate, diploma and degree courses vary in length; there are ongoing finishing and starting dates. All staff and students have access to the Chaplain. The staff are very open and accepting of the Chaplain. Being independent of the institutions allows for a discussion on neutral ground. Again issues can have a wide range of topics. The Chaplain’s role is to be supportive, confidential and always seeks to enable the person to deal with their issues. Some ask for a time of prayer, others a sounding board and others to share in the joys and achievements of their work.

It is significant that the Chaplaincy is concerned with the spirit, the mystical part of one’s life where one must feel whole within oneself. Each person seeks to live meaningfully, affectively and have the ability to focus on the work and challenges of life. As major changes take place in education the Chaplain’s presence and availability will see a greater need. This is evidenced in the movement to grow the number of Chaplains in NZ schools. The value or measure of chaplaincy work is reflected in acceptance of Chaplaincy on campus, being invited to share in some awesome and very personal experiences, and knowing that individuals are at ease in approaching the Chaplain. Feedback from individuals ranges from immediate to months later.

The pastoral approach of meeting people one on one, building relationships being present ,employing an attitude of respecting the spirituality of each individual has been rewarded with many blessings, e.g., seeing people achieve, adapt to the educational environment, resolve issues and go forward. It is about walking with others along their journey in times of sorrow, difficulty and much joy. Education is about achieving, making a difference in life; it is a positive, creative learning environment. Chaplaincy in this place is integral to that. .

The support of the STCCTB Board and the faith communities within Southland is not taken for granted. To know that one is entrusted by so many to fulfill the Chaplain’s role is an awesome and a huge responsibility. The Anglican Church, from its leadership to the people in the congregations of the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin has been a key player, through appointed members on the board, financial and spiritual support. The STCCTB Board and Chaplain acknowledge the support given both in the past and present. Now that the Chaplaincy has had seven very successful years, we look to the future with hope, with encouragement and the understanding that this is responding to the mission of the Gospel: to go forth and live the Good News, to be disciples among those not yet evangelized or seeking the presence of God in their lives. This is a slow process, meeting people one by one as the shepherd looks out for the lost sheep. So too our presence in the secular world will find those hungry for word and sacrament in their lives. For the church, in the tertiary education sector, the call or mission is being in situ. For the staff or student it is the presence and the accessibility to faith through the Chaplain. Simply stated, this is being present. This is the church’s mission in the marketplace. Conversion and evangelization is the work of the Holy Spirit; hunger and desire for faith in a Christian community is the response of the individual. Our hospitality is the door of welcome, the initial experience of Christian community. May we each do this well and be blessed in our daily living of the Scriptures.

St Hilda’s Collegiate School ReportSynod 2011

2010 was a busy and very successful year for the St Hilda's School community. One of the most significant developments was the introduction of the 1 to 1 laptop programme at Year 9. This programme is innovative and ensures students are challenged, engaged and well versed in the use of technology to support learning. It enables them to be creative, to generate ideas, resources and tools to be used by others. Our plans for digital portfolio development in 2011 will help keep parents more informed about the academic progress of their daughters. We were fortunate to be the lead school in a collaborative ICT professional development programme with Otago Girls High School and John McGlashan College in

83

2010, this contract continues until the end of 2012.

Another significant change is our new office area. We now have an entrance people can find, a very large front door and improved workspaces for support staff. This adds to the very good facilities we already have for staff and students at St Hilda's.

On a personal level a highlight of the year would have to be our cultural tour to Vietnam. Little did we know that we introduced the concept of a trip to Vietnam that we end up taking 53 students, 18 parents and 5 staff. The trip was a real success and has created lifelong memories for all of us.

2010 has also been a very busy year on the sports front. It would be impossible to list all of our successes, but some of our highlights include:

The Senior Badminton team continuing its outstanding success by winning the local secondary schools competition, the Elite Day Trophy and the Badminton Banner at Winter Quad.

The Senior Cross Country 3 man and 6 man team both winning Silver Medals at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships.

The Junior A Netball team being placed 2nd at the Otago Secondary Schools Tournament and 6th at the South Island Junior Secondary Schools Tournament.

The 1st X1 Cricket team winning the Southern regions competition. This team travelled to Taupo in December to compete at the National Secondary Schools Tournament.

The St Hilda's swimming team winning the Swimming banner at Summer Quad.

Of course - we were very proud of the outstanding achievements of Rebekah Greene in 2010. A few of Rebekah's achievements included coming 1st at the Secondary School National Cross Country Championships and then 2nd at the World Schools Cross Country Championships in Slovakia. Rebekah also finished 11th at the world junior championships in the 1500m and in this performance broke a 29 year old New Zealand record.

2010 has also been a busy and productive year for arts activities. Hannah Kim was a member of a trio who reached the semi-finals of the NZ Community Trust

Chamber Music competition.

Kristin Macdonald came 1st in the national Lion Foundation Song Writing Competition for her song, "Here is my Witness."

Talia Caradus finished in the top 40 in the same competition.

Harriet Adams's original musical composition, "A Thousand Streets" reached the finals of the national chamber music competition.

Ellena Zellhuber-McMillan, lead vocalist for "Scout", was awarded the top female musicianship award at the local "Rockquest" competition

The schools' Drama group won the regional’s of the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Competition

84

The big highlight of 2010 was our production of "Into the Woods". In conjunction with John McGlashan this musical was performed for three nights at the Mayfair Theatre. A large number of students and staff involved on stage, back stage, the orchestra and as choreographers and the performances were of a very high standard.

St Hilda's has also had some cultural initiatives and projects in 2010.

We have constructed an Art Gallery space in the corridor of the new administration suite to display some of the outstanding art works being produced by our students. We have also recorded a CD of some of our musical talent. This had been generously sponsored by the Parents' and Friends' Association and we are looking forward to the launch of this CD early in 2011.

A number of staff left St Hilda's at the end of 2010.

We acknowledge Shannon Glennie and Lynley Verkerk who were part time teachers in the Science and Technology departments in 2010.

Carrie Bouffard left us to start a position with the National Library. Those students who were taught by Carrie know she has a passion for literature and the National Library are fortunate to have her enthusiasm and her knowledge.

Erina Caradus finished with us after a year as fixed term teacher of drama. Erina had also been involved in co curricular drama activities in 2010.

Hannah Wilson left after two years of teaching Physical Education and Health. Hannah had also been the Year 10 Dean in 2010.

Fiona Kerr left her position as teacher of ESOL and Japanese to move to Oamaru where she has a position in the public library.

I thank all of these staff for their service and wish them well for the future.

I would like to express thanks for the many groups and individuals who work so hard for the staff and students of St Hilda's. To Sarah Stevenson and the remarkable Parents and Friends for their continued fundraising efforts for St Hilda's.

I am fortunate to work with a wonderful Board of Proprietors and Board of Trustees. I would like to acknowledge all who serve on these Boards and my special thanks to Ken Lister, Chair of the Trustees, and Sandra Christie, Chair of the Proprietors.

To Helen Crossan- thank you for all you do for the students of Tolcarne and their families.

I continue to appreciate the dedication of the staff to the students of St Hilda's. I value their commitment to improvement and to innovation.

85

Thanks especially to the Heads of Department who have had a particularly busy year implementing the revised curriculum and preparing for the new Level 1 standards. Thank you to Kathryn Gray for her contribution as the Specialist Classroom teacher. Special thanks to my senior leadership team - Geraldine Corkery, Judy Maw and Hazel Dey. I am very fortunate to have such a strong and supportive team. I appreciate their loyalty, and their unwavering enthusiasm and commitment to St Hilda's.

Trust Board Report Synod 2011

Membership:There have been no changes to membership of the Board of Trustees in the past year so that at 31st

December 2010 these remained as:

Mr V.T. Maffey (Chairman), Mr G.C. Allen, Mrs E. Duggan, Dr A.E.J Fitchett, Mr A. Dunbar, Mr S.J. Grant, Mr P. Jackson, Mr A .J. Wright and Mr N. Wyeth.

Mr Gordon Allen, who has been ill for some time but has continued to attend most meetings, recently advised the Board of his decision to resign and this resignation was accepted with regret at the July

86

meeting 2011. An appropriate function is to be arranged to acknowledge Gordon’s very long service to the Diocese and the Board.

Meetings:The Board continued to meet monthly in Peter Mann House from February through to December inclusive. The Board’s Investment Sub-committee (Chaired by Mr Wright) meets the day before and considers the various Investment activities. The global economic crisis has continued to offer many challenges but the full value of the Income Fund has remained intact and the value of units in the Growth Fund has significantly recovered during the period under review.

Income Fund:As has been reported previously, the Board’s investments are subject to the vagaries of the market and the past year has continued to be extremely volatile. Reserves, which were at their lowest point for many years at $391,000 at 31.12.2009 but have recovered strongly to be approximately $817,000 at 31.12..2010 .The financial position of Trusts and Reserves remains in good shape. The former Bishop’s House in Mosgiel was sold during the year and the $400,000 Capital Reserve which arose from the sale of the former Newington Avenue property and had been retained in the Trust Board’s Accounts, was transferred to the Bishopric Estate to offset some of the small loss on sale of the Mosgiel Property.

The distribution rate on funds held was maintained at 5.50% throughout 2010 and this year has been 5.25% for the two quarters to 30th June 2011. This is quite a pleasing return in view of the fact that the Reserve Bank Overnight Cash Rate was again reduced to 2.5% following the February 22nd earthquake in Christchurch. In the very volatile current economic climate, it is difficult to forecast the position ahead but every effort is being made to maintain a favourable distribution rate for Parishes and Trusts

Growth Fund:Due to withdrawals during the year, investments through the growth fund reduced in total to $1,369,228 (from $1,459,395 at 31.12.09). However the value of each unit has risen to $1.89 at 31.12.2010 (compared with $1.71 at 31.12.09). The latest value at 30 th June 2011 was at approximately the same 31.12..2010 level.

Overall total funds and reserves under management through the Income and Growth Funds at 31.12.2010 were $26,382,934 compared with $25,579,181 at 31.12.2009.

The Financial Position of the Diocese:The Board remains supportive of the efforts of the working party to improve the longer term financial position of the Diocese through increasing the value of the Bishopric Estate so that that will be self-sustaining and not the drain on parishes that it currently is. Since balance date, the Diocesan Centre has shed the payroll and accounting work for three main external clients: Selwyn College, the Leslie Groves Society and the Home of St. Barnabas Charitable Trust. The three remaining staff are now located upstairs with the downstairs area now occupied by the Bishop and his Secretary, Bishop’s Chaplain, Diocesan Ministry Educator and the Educator for the Under 40’s. This remains as a calling-in centre of the Diocese and will continue with the arrangement for a trial period of a year or so. The Trust Board has expressed its concern that no additional income is being generated towards the cost of maintaining the property.Property:The Board has again spent a considerable amount of its time in conjunction with the Earl Street Charitable Trust (ESCT) trying to drive an improvement in the tenancies and financial position of the St. Peter’s Close Development. Our Board is deeply appreciative of the efforts of Messrs Wright, Wyeth and Jackson from the Trust Board and Mr Mark Taylor and Mr Russell Hamilton (Chair of the ESCT and their Management Committee respectively.) The work of Mrs Tracy McLean as Secretary of the ESCT and representing the Queenstown Parish is also deeply appreciated. Bishop David Coles as Vicar of Queenstown has also been extremely helpful is all aspects of the matter. The Trust Board held a recent meeting in Queenstown (June 2011) and was pleased to note that occupancy of the St. Peter’s Close complex has risen to approximately 76% at 31.3.2011 as compared with 42% at 31.3.2010.

At Parish level, the impact of the earthquakes in Canterbury has not fully worked its way through to legislation, local government policy or a new level of insurance premiums yet, but all of these changes will come into play in the next two years. They will have a profound impact on the way we view and work with our buildings in the future and all Parishes will need to prayerfully consider their position and what is affordable going forward.

87

Administration:The work done by Diocesan Office staff under the management of Mrs Miller is very diverse so far as parishes and trusts are concerned and this has been another particularly difficult year for them. With the reduction by two staff since balance date and the change in location of offices to the upper floor, a considerable settling down period is currently in progress. The Office Liaison Committee, which I chair, meets very regularly with Mrs Miller to assist where it can and offers as much support as possible.

ThanksOnce again, the Board has pleasure in taking the opportunity in this report of sincerely thanking Mrs Miller and the Diocesan staff for their on-going work and support.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTO THE READERS OF THE DUNEDIN DIOCESAN TRUST BOARD FINANCIAL REPORT

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSWe have audited the financial statements of The Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board on pages 116 to 121 which comprise the Statement of Financial Position, as at 31st December 2010, Statement of Financial Performance, and Statement of Changes in Trust Funds, for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Board are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITYOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conduct our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests, in The Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board.

OPINIONIn our opinion the financial statements on pages 116 to 121 represent fairly, in all material respects the financial position of The Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board Trust as at 31st December 2010 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand.

Dunedin Diocesan Trust BoardNotes to the Financial StatementsFor The Year Ended 31 December 2010

1. Statement of Accounting Policies

Reporting Entity

The Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board is a Body Corporate constituted under the powers of the Authorised Trusts Boards as set out in the second schedule of the Anglican Church Trusts Act 1981 or any re-enactment thereof.

The Financial Statements of the Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board are Special Purpose reports which have been prepared for the Board in accordance with their wishes.

Measurement Base

The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings and financial position on a historical cost basis are followed by the Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Investments are shown at market value for 2010 and 2009. In prior years they were recorded at cost.Other than the changes in valuation methodology, there have been no changes in accounting policies which have been applied on a basis consistent with previous years.

Specific Accounting Policies

The following specific accounting policies which materially affect the measurement of earnings and financial position have been applied:

(i) Investments

a) Registered mortgages and loans are shown at cost less repayments to dateb) All shares, notes and bonds are shown at market valuec) Short term deposits are shown at cost.

(ii) Receivables

Account Receivable are stated at their estimated realisable value after providing for amounts not considered recoverable.

(iii) Fixed AssetsFixed Assets have been shown at cost.

(iv) Property

Prior to 2005 the values of land, buildings and chattels were not recorded in the accounts as assets.Property and equipment purchases in earlier years were treated as expenses at the time. Depreciation is not recorded.

(v) GSTWith the exception of Accounts Receivable and Payable, all items are stated exclusive of GST.

115

(vi) Accounting for IncomeIncome from mortgages, debentures, preference shares and deposits is accounted for on an accruals basis.Income from rents, fees and other investments is accounted for on a cash basis.

(vii) Special LoansSpecial loans of $20272 may not be recovered until the sale of the relevant Parish properties

(viii) Fair ValueCash, short term deposits, managed funds, receivables, accounts payable and short term borrowings have a carrying amount that is equivalent to their monetary value.

(ix) Currency and Interest Rate Risk

Currency risk is restricted to equity trading in international stocks within our managed investment portfolio, otherwise all transactions are in New Zealand dollars. Managed Funds and short term deposits are used to minimize interest risk. There are no balance sheet financial instruments at balance date nor has there been any during the financial year.

(x) Capital Expenditure CommitmentsAt balance date there were no substantial commitments.

(xi) Contingent Liabilities and Gains

The Trust Board has a mortgage of $4,241,760 on the St Peter's Close commercial building and basement car-park which fronts to Earl Street and is part of the St Peter's Queenstown Church block. The land and building is owned by the Earl Street Charitable Trust. There is a prior interest-only mortgage of $2,000,000 to Westpac Banking Corporation. There are no arrears on the prior mortgage. The Cost of the building including the land was $9,081,024 and the Quotable Value assessment for rating purposes as at October 2008 was $9,000,000. The building is not fully tenanted and based on present tenancies was valued in May this year at $5,400,000 (2010 $5,000,020). While partially leased the Trust Board is accepting a reduced interest rate with a rider that the normal market rate will berecovered as rental tenancies are taken up. This is happening progressively and at 31 March 2011approximatley 76% of the building was let compared with 42% at 31 March 2010.

(xii) Depreciation

No depreciation has been recorded as an expense because in the opinion of the Dunedin Diocesan Trust Board, there is no need to do so.
