Major Decisions:

TEC-wide Repercussions

Creation and Reconciliation
  • Major long-time coming TEC-wide initiative to garner valuable information and statistics about the ethnic and racial composition of TEC, lay and cleric.

Task Force to Study the Church Pension Fund
This report is the result of a 60-year call via various GC resolutions.
  • Its immediate impetus was resolution A060 from the 79th  GC in 2018.
  • The Task Force report was anticipated in December 2019.
  • An executive summary of the Task Force report is available.
Sally Johnson, chancellor to PHOD, explained the legal structure of the Church
Pension Fund, its creation out of TEC resolution, but its separation as a fiduciary
corporation, subject to NY state laws.
  • A clerical member of Executive Council narrated his family’s three generation relationship with TEC pensions.
  • Testimony inadvertently highlighted the inequities in financial remuneration and therefore pensions between white clergy and newer clergy of color in TEC.
