• APPENDIX A — GUIDELINES FOR CLERGY COMPENSATION 1991
(for use with Guidelines for Clergy Compensation booklet from the Conference Office)
The 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ, concerned with the growth of its churches and the compensation of its ordained leaders, commends the effort of the local churches in endeavoring to reach the goals recommended in Guidelines for Clergy Compensation 1990. These are minimum recommendations. They apply to all full-time pastors, associates and assistants.
The 191st Annual meeting recommends that:
(1) churches pay a minimum entry-level cash salary of $17,525 for a full-time pastor and minimum salaries as listed below in B;
(2) churches not at the minimum salary work toward the minimum and also at improving C, D, and E, below;
(3) churches reimburse fully all professional expenses;
(4) churches already at or above the minimum and also providing for C through F give at least a cost-of-living increase and consider a merit increase.
(5) the work schedule of local pastors be no more than twelve units per week with no more than three evenings in any given week; in addition that pastors take off at least three consecutive days each month. 1
A. CONSIDERATIONS FOR DETERMINING CLERGY COMPENSATION
While the ministry is a unique profession requiring special patterns of financial compensation, several overall factors can be considered in determining the level of support for clergy. The total compensation package could justly be comparable to the rnediam income of the parish and perhaps be on a par with that of the local high school principal, showing consideration for years of service, special skills, and training and including annual cost-of-living increases. The federal tax structure is unique for clergy and the compensation package can be designated in a way to maximize the pastor's income. 2
B. MINIMUM CASB SALARY
The minimum cash salary (not including housing and other expenses) ought to be as follows:
-27-
Minutes
it of Church Members I yrs. experience
i 0-3 4-10 over 10
up to 300 301-500 501-1000 over 1000

17,525 21,675 26,800
17,525 23,025 30,350
Therefore, if a pastor of ten years ordination/experience arrives at a congregation with 375 members, she or he should receive a base salary of not less than $20,275 (recognizing certain regional variations).
C. SOCIAL SECURITY ALLOWANCE
The church should provide an amount equal to at least one-half the self-employment SS tax of 15.3$; such an allowance would be taxable income but would ease the burden of the big Social Security tax.
D.« HOUSING THAT PROVIDES:
(1) a furnishing allowance3, all utilities, and an equity development plan for those living in a parsonage; OR
(2) a housing allowance for those who rent or own their homes.
E. BENEFITS THAT PROVIDE:
(1) a pension plan, with a church contribution of 14J of salary basis, which is (a) at least 130? of cash salary plus any furnishings allowance for those living in a parsonage, or (b) cash salary plus housing allowance for those with such allowance;
(2) a family protection plan, including disability insurance, which is an additional 1$ of the base used for the annuity;
(3) group life insurance which costs $50 per year;
(4) medical and health insurance, plus dental care;
(5) continuing education funding;
(6) sabbatical education funding;
(7) holiday and vacation time;
(8) maternity/paternity paid leave (including adoption).
F. ALL PROFESSIONAL EXPENSES
The new tax law eillows the deduction of business expenses only on Schedule A and any stated allowance for these items must be included in income. Most taxpayers no longer itemize since higher deductions are given to everyone. Therefore . it is important that churches reimburse, or pay directly, all of the costs which the pastor incurs for "doing business" for the church, so that the pastor is not paying income tax for church expense. Included are:
(1) books and professional subscriptions;
(2) professional memberships;
(3) travel expenses and car allowance (church-owned car or travel reimbursement);
(4) any other expenses incurred by the pastor and directly attributable to the exercise of ministry.

WHEREAS many who have been executed have been later found to be innocent, including at least 23 people during this century; and

killing people is wrong?" and
WHEREAS perceived public pressure may lead our politicians to take public positions in support of the death penalty, which they may not really believe in and which we, as part of their public, do not believe in, thus unnecessarily victimizing many accused and convicted persons; unnecessarily victimizing the taxpayer who is asked to pay for the enormous costs of the death penalty, often far more than twice the cost of a life sentence without parole; and misinforming the public, who are led to believe that the death penalty is a useful criminal justice tool; and
WHEREAS the death penalty in America separates us from our traditional European allies, whose use of the death penalty is almost nonexistent today;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ reaffirms opposition to the death penalty; and

» APPENDIX D — An Allocation Process for Special Mission Funds
BACKGROUND
In 1989 the Conference Annual Meeting voted to authorize its Board of Directors to proceed
with efforts to lease a portion of the Conference's property in Framingham for the
development of a continuing care retirement community and to place all net proceeds from
any land lease in a "Special Mission Fund." The meeting also asked the Board:
"to recommend to the 191st Annual Meeting a process by which all churches and interested parties of the Conference have opportunity to participate in the recommending process of the Board of Directors and the decision making process of Annual Meetings as to allocations of related principal or income."
THE PROPOSAL
The Board of Directors recommends the establishment of a "Special Mission Budget" to be voted by the Annual Meeting every third year and to be funded with income from the Special Mission Fund established to receive lease proceeds and from such other special endowment funds as the Board may designate from time to time .
Whereas major funding for the Special Mission Budget is expected to be received from lease fees for the CCRC, in the event that the CCRC project is ultimately denied by the Town of Framingham, the Board of Directors is directed to seek a comprehensive permit under Chapter 40 B of the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts linking a revised plan for the CCRC to an amount and type of family and affordable housing necessary to qualify for this special permit.
The present budget of the Conference is based on mission goals and strategies established
-30-
Minutes
by the Board in consultation with the Program Assembly and included in the operating
budget presented at the Annual Meeting each year. The new Special Mission Budget would be a separate budget focussing on new mission strategies. It would be developed separately
and voted separately by the Annual Meeting every three years.
The first step in the process is developing new or "special mission strategies." The second step will be constructing a Special Mission Budget based on the special mission strategies. Depending upon the receipt of funds, the special mission strategies and budget would be brought to Annual Meeting in 1992 or thereafter and voted for a period of three years. Evaluation would be ongoing and the process will continue so that another special budget can be presented in 1995 for the next three years.
RESPONSIBILITY
In this proposal the Minister and President is responsible for implementing the process. The Board of Directors is expected to perform the same functions as in the development of the operating budget process.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The Minister and President is accountable for involvement of staff and Commissions of the Conference throughout the process.
The Board of Directors is accountable for initiating communications with local churches and Associations throughout the process.
Evaluation of program is performed by all implementors, and reviewed by the Board of Directors and reported to the Annual Meeting.
Any funds dedicated to the Special Mission Budget will be distributed according to a "request for proposals" system in which a designated committee posts to all member churches the availability of grants, the maximum amounts of these grants, and the preferred purpose (s) of the awards. Proposals should be reviewed and awards made within a reasonable period of time.
• APPENDIX E — A RESOLUTION ON THE INTEGRITY OF CREATION, JUSTICE AND PEACE
WHEREAS God the Creator looked upon the Earth aind called it good, sustains all life and is glorified by it, and moreover is "through all and in all," (Eph.4:6); and
WHEREAS Planet Earth is faced with an ecological crisis consigning species to extinction at an unprecedented rate, and the biosphere to such serious degradation as to threaten the continuation of life on earth; and
WHEREAS the ecological crisis is an intrinsically spiritual issue, arising out of broken covenant with God and the land, both of which dishonor God's creation; and
WHEREAS we are called to be completely faithful to God and all creation in a society in which the power structure too often values profit at the expense of creation or people, at great cost to the natural world including God's people who are poor both here and abroad; and
WHEREAS the 17th General Synod of the United Church of Christ affirmed the previous Justice and Peace Priority and made explicit the implicit inclusion of all creation in the Shalom vision by adopting the Priority "The Integrity of Creation, Justice and Peace," calling on the church to: 1) Affirm, through study and practice, that the Biblical vision of Shalom is central to our identity as members of the United Church of Christ; 2) Strengthen our work for justice, peace and the integrity of creation through spiritual nurture, theological reflection, education, action & advocacy; 3) Address the issues of economic, racial and social justice, an end to war, hunger, poverty, economic exploitation, and necessity for a sustainable environment, balancing full and equal human development with the protection of the ecosystem; k. Engage in lives of Shalom, seeking to establish, in both local and global settings, new policies and structures of justice, common security from violence and stewardship of God's creation, human, natural and spiritual; and
WHEREAS the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ voted at its I89th Annual Meeting to declare itself a Just Peace Conference; and
-31-
Minutes
WHEREAS we believe in God the Creator and Redeemer, whose redemption is creation wide, amd God the Sustainer whose work in creation continues and who offers us hope and inspiration for our work in effecting the renewal;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 19l3t Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ affirms the commitment to justice and peace as stated in the General Synod Priority "Integrity of Creation, Justice and Peace" and encourages its members to work towards the Shalom vision of wholeness for all creation; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting urges the Board of Directors to provide leadership and resources to accomplish the goals of the Synod Priority stated above, especially through the commission for Mission Development and Social Responsibility and the Just Peace Ministry; cind
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting be faithful to the call to Shalom by encouraging its members to make the life-style changes commensurate with the gravity of the ecological threat: to conserve nonrenewable energy, eliminate toxic pollution, support the efforts of others affirming the life of this planet by political and other means, including population considerations, thereby working towards a more just order that honors the intrinsic value of all the natural world, all peoples; and
FINALLY, BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting encourage its UCC clergy and lay members to develop theological framework that explores the themes of community and covenant with the land, and all other aspects of the Shalom vision which must mean justice and peaceable relationships with planet Earth and all Earth's peoples.
• APPENDIX F ~ RESOLUTION FOR SUPPORT OF A UNITED STATES POLICY OF "NO FIRST USE"
One way to safeguard the integrity of God's creation is for all nations with nuclear weapons to pledge that they will use these weapons only in response to a nuclear attack. In 1961*, China became the first nuclear power to proclaim a policy of "no first use" of nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union followed suit in 1982 and called upon the United States, United Kingdom, and France to do the same. Also in 1982 and 1983, prominent American statesmen, strategists eind scientists called upon the United States to adopt this policy. However, the three Allied nuclear powers demurred on the grounds that NATO's "flexible response" strategy entailed possible use of nuclear weapons to deter or repulse a massive attack by Warsaw Pact conventional forces.
WHEREAS Christ left us the Spirit of Peace to enable us to have "courage in the struggle for justice and peace — " (Statement of Faith), assuring us that "Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you" (John 14:27); and
WHEREAS Christian churches and believers have played a major role in the dramatic and peaceful transitions of political power occurring throughout Eastern Europe and the USSR; and
WHEREAS these changes in Europe have reduced the level of military tension, have enhanced the prospects for agreement on the reduction of strategic and conventional forces by both sides, and according to press reports have led United States military analysts to conclude that NATO could repulse any Soviet invasion of Western Europe without using nuclear weapons; and
WHEREAS the adoption by the United States of a "no first use" policy would entail minimal security risk suid, conversely, would be in keeping with historical tradition and moral values, would reduce the risk of a nuclear conflict, and, if accompanied by similar British and French declarations, would be conducive to multilateral arms control negotiations among the nuclear powers; and
WHEREAS the adoption by the United States of a "no first use" policy would thereby promote the sacred causes of peace and justice for all of God's people and the integrity of God's creation;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ urges the United Church of Christ national leadership and bodies to work with other denominations and faiths in the United States and abroad to proclaim the moral imperative of "no first use" pledges by all nations with nuclear weapons; and
-32-
Minutes
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 19l3t Annual Meeting urges the United Church of Christ Office of Church in Society to commend the adoption of a bipartisan Congressional resolution on "no first use" and a declaration by President Bush that this is United States policy; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to our United States Senators and Representatives.
• APPENDIX G ~ RESOLUTION FOR THE WITNESS TO HUMAN RIGHTS IN GUATEMALA
It is written in the letter to the Hebrews, "Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are." (Hebrews 13:3)
WHEREAS Guatemala has been called "A Nation of Prisoners" by Americas Watch which along with many other organizations has recounted that since 1966 in excess of 100,000 civilians have been killed and an additional 38,000 have disappeared. Their accounts report that these inhuman acts were mostly the result of actions by the Guatemala military and paramilitary organizations. These actions have resulted in eliminating an entire generation of leaders in the urban areas and have taken the form of Indiscriminate massacres, sometimes of entire communities, in the countryside.
WHEREAS the Central American Peace Plan, signed by the five Central American heads of state in Guatemala City in August, 1987, called for respect for human rights, complete freedom of the press, democratization, and urgent attention to the needs of refugees and the displaces. After the planned and deliberate suppression of many relevant details by the administration of President Cerezo, the International Commission on Verification and Follow-up Issued a cautiously worded report in Jainuary, 1988, which stated that:
1 ) they have received information from non-governmental organizations that the Guatemala Accords have had a limited effect on the human rights situation in Guatemala.
2) they have learned of the existence of fear not only about this situation but also about the lack of sufficient guarantees to publicly discuss the questions.
WHEREAS the Guatemala Army has granted itself de facto emergency powers in Guatemala's
highlcind provinces, severely restricting freedom of movement, residence and association
for the nation's Indian majority, and continuing to force peasants to perform onerous civil patrol duty.
WHEREAS the violent suppression of the free press has intensified, resulting in the closing of one newspaper and two international news agencies. Intimidation by groups allied to the military continues to limit press freedom severely. While the majority of journalists eschew reporting on military violence, the New York based Committee to Protect Journalists stated that, between 1976 and 1985, Guatemala had the western hemisphere's second highest rate of violence against journalists. At least 48 Guatemalan journalists were abducted or killed by government security forces.
WHEREAS the Central American Peace Plan calls on the governments to "give urgent attention to the estimated two million people who have fled their homes as a result of fighting and counterinsurgency" and whereas the Episcopal Conference of Guatemalan Bishops issued a statement recognizing serious obstacles to refugee repatriation, recommending that so long as the Army could not guarantee that returning refugees would not be subjected to violence or forced to live in model villages, it was "preferable for the refugees to remain in Mexico." The acceptance of amnesty provisions would be extremely dangerous for those involved as it would attach the stigma of subversive association.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 19l3t Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ directs the Minister and President to:
1) petition the Congress of the United States to adhere to Section 502 (B) of the Foreign Assistance Act, which bars military aid to governments which engage in a consistent pattern of gross violations of human rights, and to end all military and police aid to Guatemala including the training of Guatemalan troops in the United States until political killings by government forces are ended, the perpetrators are brought to trial , civil patrols are disbanded , and limitations on the freedom of movement of rural Guatemalans are lifted;
2) call upon the President of the United States to request that the United Nations Human
-33-
Minutes
Rights Commission intensify its investigation of conditions in Guatemala by adopting a resolution condemning the deterioration of human rights in Guatemala and supporting the appointment of a special investigator; 3) encourage member congregations of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ to establish partnerships with the besieged villages of the rural Guatemalan Indians in consultation with the Secretary of the Latin American and Caribbean Region of the United Church Board for World Ministries.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution, in its entirety, be recommended by the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ for adoption by the Eighteenth General Synod.
• APPENDIX H ~ RESOLUTION ON POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS
WHEREAS we are Christian stewards of God's precious Earth; and
WHEREAS the Earth is being destroyed more and more by human pollution; and
WHEREAS the destruction of the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere is reaching a critical point; sind
WHEREAS CFC-12 is used to manufacture foam from polystyrene, and CFC-12 escaped during manufacturing, as the polystyrene ages, and when it is crushed after disposal, and CFCs are chemically very stable and survive in the atmosphere 100 years or more; and
WHEREAS CFCs are a destroyer of the ozone layer protecting the earth from excess ultraviolet radiation, and polystyrene contributes to the severe waste disposal and littering problems in the United States because it is neither biodegradable nor photodegradable, and wildlife have been known to die from ingesting pieces of polystyrene; and
WHEREAS there is a United States ban on the use of CFCs in aerosol propellants;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ recommends (1) the Conference to stop the use of any and all disposable polystyrene products at any of its conference meetings unless these are labeled "CFC-Free" and the Conference/Board of Directors will recycle the products used; (2) all United Church of Christ churches and church members are urged (a) to use only "CFC-Free" polystyrene products and to recycle the used products; (b) to publicize their decision; (c) to put pressure on retail stores to use and sell only "CFC-Free" polystyrene products cind to stock paper hot cups, trays, etc. as an alternative to polystyrene; (3) the Conference, the local churches and church members recycle present inventory, and recycle polystyrene that may come into the Conference or the local church.
+ CFC = chlorof luorocarbons
» APPENDIX I ~ RESOLUTION ON RECYCLED PAPER
WHEREAS we are Christian stewards of God's precious Earth; and
WHEREAS we as Christians should use the Earth's resources wisely; and
WHEREAS each year Americans consume over 67 million tons of paper, or 600 pounds per person, and it takes 17 trees to make 1 ton of paper; and
WHEREAS every year the United States dumps enough office and writing paper to build a wall 12 feet high from Los Angeles to New York, and every Sunday the United States throws away over 88$ of recyclable newspapers, wasting 500,000 trees; and
WHEREAS solid waste disposal is a critical problem for our nation, and recycling is becoming a viable alternative to the throwaway society we have all created; and
WHEREAS recycling adds to economic stability by creating new material resources (waste paper), reducing a tax burden (disposal), and reducing our use of energy; it creates many new jobs - harvesting waste paper in cities creates five times as many jobs as does harvesting the raw material from the forests; the energy used to produce a ton of papers
-34-
Minutes
from waste paper is 64$ less than used to produce a ton of paper from virgin wood pulp , Eind the paper industry is the third largest consumer of energy in the United States; and
WHEREAS if waste paper is to become an important raw material , there must be a demand for the recycled paper; paper companies will make recycled paper if they are sure they can sell it profitably, and this will happen only when individual and bulk consumers begin demanding and buying recycled paper; and
WHEREAS the Massachusetts Conference and all the churches use great amounts of paper for many reasons;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ recommends that the Conference and all United Church of Christ churches start using recycled paper whenever and wherever possible in place of new paper and recycling all paper used in our churches and homes; the churches and Conference are also urged to publicize their action, to put pressure on retail stores to stock recycled paper products, and implement economic incentives for increased use of recycled paper through joint purchase arrangements and cooperative buying; and
FINALLY, BE IT RESOLVED that we use less paper in general.
• APPENDIX J — A RESOLUTION ON THE BOYCOTT OF SALVADORAN COFFEE
WHEREAS the Prophets repeatedly remind us that the true worship of God includes the doing of justice (Isa. 58:6, Michah 6:8); and
WHEREAS in Biblical terms a nation is judged by the degree of compassion shown to the needy of the world (Matt. 25); and
WHEREAS our United States tax and consumer dollars are also used to suppress the aspirations for justice and human rights of the Salvadoran people, funding a war now ten years old and which has claimed 75,000 lives; and
WHEREAS more church workers have been killed in El Salvador in the last ten years than in any other country, including prominent Christian visionaries such as Archbishop Oscar A. Romero, the four North American religious women, and most recently the six Jesuit priests; and
WHEREAS after direct United States aid. United States consumers through United States coffee companies provide the second largest source of funding for the Salvadorzui government 2ind military which helps fuel the war; and
WHEREAS diverse sectors of Salvadoran society, including representatives of coffee workers, have asked North Americans to boycott Salvadoran coffee as a vehicle to help achieve a negotiated end to the war; and
WHEREAS Folgers is the largest buyer of Salvadoran coffee, prides itself on being a "socially responsible" corporation, and is the first national target of the "Neighbor to Neighbor" consumer boycott;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 191st Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ: 1) recognizes the cries for justice from our Salvadoran sisters and brothers as a major concern for the Church; 2) formally and publicly endorses the boycott of Salvadoran coffee, particularly Folgers brand; 3) encourages the General Synod to formally and publicly endorse the boycott of Salvadoran coffee; and H) recommends to the local churches and ministries to honor the boycott of Salvadoran coffee.
