Motion #1: Whereas many Synod delegates do not know Synod members from other deaneries, voting for someone unknown, defeats the purpose of a democratic process and further inhibits the communication process. One of the alternatives that needs to be explored is that of having a set number of members elected by each Deanery Council with no election at Synod, and;
Whereas, in these times of fiscal restraints, we need to explore options that will, at the very least, incur no increased costs;
Be it resolved that this Synod direct the Bishop to establish a task force to investigate alternative ways to elect a Diocesan Council. The task force, comprised of members from the Lay Co-Chairs and Regional Deans of the diocese, is to report back to 2010 Synod with options, including maintaining the status quo, for Synod consideration.
Moved by Jane Cartier. Seconded by Michelle Collis-Wongkee. Approved [unanimously] by Deanery Council
Motion #2: Grace Church, Rondeau – Parish Internship Programme.
Regarding Grace Church: Jane reported that St. Paul’s, Erieau had $500 in budget to cover deficit. Dennis on financial situation suggested that ACWs do support (to $100) financial cost as some do now. The mileage and salary are paid by the parish. Money that goes to the student does not help with costs of the parish.

Minutes of the Deanery of Kent
St. James Wallaceburg
4 November 2008
Secretary: The Reverend Alan Knight
Following a presentation of the Diocesan budget the meeting opened at 8 PM
The minutes were examined for omissions and errors and the following corrections were made:
1) Stan Pepper of St. Paul’s, Chatham announced a barbeque and day camp for 32 children.
2) 2) St. Stephen’s, Mitchell Bay was designated a Chapel of Ease pending the approval of diocesan council on 12 December.
Motion: to accept the minutes with corrections. Moved by Sue Martin. Seconded by Michelle Collins-Wongkee.
Query concerning funding for meetings with candidates for the position of suffrage bishop in 2009. Should deanery budget $500.00?
New Business:
A short review of deanery budget and proposed spending.
Motion: That copies of Huron’s diocesan history A Light In the Forest be distributed to local libraries after January 2009 (where it has not already been done) as an act of evangelism. Moved by Pierce Russell. Seconded by Dennis Cartier. Unanimous.
That the name of “Kent Deanery Ash Wednesday” be changed to “Kent Deanery Holy Day”
Proposed purchase of LED projector and that persons be held responsible for it through a sign in/sign out policy. The deanery would have first priority for its use.
Grace Church, Rondeau requests assistance from deanery for the funding of its summer student programme.
Motion: to accept deanery budget as presented. Moved by Paul Millward. Seconded by George Allen. Unanimous.
Deanery Holy day $500
Mtgatha container $500
LED projector $800
Grace Church, Rondeau $1500
Deanery Leadership $1500
Review of Section 17 Safe Church policy by Regional Dean Paul Millward.
Shirley Cudmore had nothing to report concerning the Diocesan Council.
At a recent meeting in the deanery regarding the accessibility of Deanery churches it was brought to our attention that there is no firm information on whether the standard is set by the diocese, parish or provincial government. If renovations are undertaken at a church, then the act must be followed.
Diocesan directives for 2009:
A) Reach out with the gospel.
B) Who is my neighbour?
Pray for St. Aiden’s, Windsor.
Concern for the workload of the bishop. Area for future discussion.
Next meeting 17 February 2009 7:00 PM at Holy Trinity, Chatham.
Motion to adjourn by Janice Unsworth.
Rewrite of motions to present to Diocesan Executive concerning funding for summer training ministries and examination of alternate forms of funding.
ORIGINAL MOTIONS READ:
Recomendation to Diocese by Deanery
A) Be it resolved that a task force be set up to investigate alternative ways to elect a Diocesan Council. The task force is to report back to 2010 Synod with options, including the status quo, for Synod Delegates to discuss. (May Synod delegates do not know Synod members from other deaneries. To vote for someone unknown, defeats the purpose of a democratic process and further inhibits the communication process between Council and the grass roots. One alternative that needs to be explored is that of having a certain number of members elected by each deanery and no election at Synod.)
B) Be it resolved that the full cost for parish internship programs be born by the diocese. (The internship program is designed to be of benefit to the entire diocese. Many of the internships are in small, rural parishes that bear the brunt of the cost. If the cost is shared throughout the diocese, everyone pays a little rather than a few paying a lot.)
