Clerks Report Supplemental Charges Against Glen Hallead

According to G-2.0509, as stated clerk, I must report to this body that on June 9, 2020 I received correspondence from Mr. Glen Hallead, who most recently served as the pastoral voice for St. Andrews PC in Sanford, that it was his desire to renounce jurisdiction of the Presbyterian Church USA and withdraw from his ordination as a Minister of Word and Sacrament. His renunciation is to be reported in the minutes and his name deleted from the roll. Additionally, I must report that Mr. Hallead renounced jurisdiction during an investigation in which he was identified as the accused. Prior to renunciation of jurisdiction, the investigation committee notified him of their intent to take their findings to the PJC of this presbytery for trial. These must also be issued into public record.

• Mr. Hallead is accused of causing harm to the congregation he was called to serve taking actions contrary to vows to “further the peace, unity, and purity of the church" (W-4.0404g)

• Mr. Hallead is accused of abuse of the power and authority of the office of

minister by utilizing social media to bully and inappropriately chastise congregation members in tactics contrary to Jesus’ wisdom in Matthew 18:15.

• Mr. Hallead is accused of abuse of the power and authority of the office of

minister taking actions contrary to vows that we be “governed by our church’s polity…abide by its discipline…be a friend among colleagues in ministry, working with them, subject to the ordering of God’s word and Spirit.”

o The accused was openly hostile to the theology and polity of the PC(USA).

o The accused failed to show friendship and mutual forbearance among colleagues in ministry (elders and members) by dividing the congregation in camps and developing a fiefdom of support.

Page 33 of 53

o The accused redirected funds from the Mary Margaret McLeod Fund for the building of a playground without session approval.

o The accused appears to have manipulated the nominating committee policy of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church.

The Investigative Committee was recommending a two-year temporary removal from office and supervised rehabilitation under the following terms:

a) Mr. Hallead will come under supervision by a committee appointed by The Permanent Judicial Commission.

b) Mr. Hallead will participate in individual counseling by a licensed professional that is approved by his supervising committee addressing the area of “Ethics”.

c) Mr. Hallead will participate in and successfully complete a Clinical

Pastoral Care Program approved by his supervising committee in the area of “Pastoral Care for the Congregation”.

d) Mr. Hallead will successfully complete a remedial course in “PCUSA

Church Polity” that is approved by his supervising committee. Mr. Hallead’s decision to renounce jurisdiction of the church means that the accusations and the trial against him are halted (Advisory Committee recommendation to the 202 General Assembly).

Presbytery of Coastal Carolina Supplemental Packet

October 3, 2020

Mission Cabinet: F&P Action Item: Background: Bethesda PC in Aberdeen requested $50,000 loan to help with the installation of an elevator so that members can access upper floors. This is a part of the funds needed with additional funding coming from other sources and contributions. The Session and congregation have given their approval. The Executive Committee can approve up to $20,000 in emergency funding and granted this upon recommendation from Finance and Property with a 60-month payback with 0% interest. The remaining $30,000 will need Presbytery approval at the October Presbytery meeting. Motion: Approve the request of Bethesda PC for $30,000 (meeting the criteria of the Manual of Administrative Operations) to be issued after providing proof that all funding is in place for the elevator project. Terms are a 60-month payback with 0% interest. Commission on Ministry: New Minister Members to the Presbytery: Rev. James “Barrett” Ingram, Pastor, at Clarkton Presbyterian Church from South Louisiana Presbytery.

News & Announcements from the West Community

OFFICER TRAINING:

We give thanks for the work of the East Community which is putting together Officer Training Videos that will be available for use throughout the Presbytery. They will be on the Presbytery’s YouTube Page then promoted to the congregations through email.

TECHNOLOGY GRANTS FOR THE WEST COMMUNITY CHURCHES

The West steering Committee is offering a limited number of grants up to $500 to assist with purchasing technology to get a congregation online with worship or improve their live streaming or recording equipment. An application form will be available from Laura Lupton LauraLupton@presbycc.org and the applications will be due by Nov. 16 so they can be reviewed and approved before the end of 2020.

WEST COMMUNITY MEETING – JANUARY 2021

The West Community will hold a virtual meeting on Saturday, January 30, 2021. 9:30AM to 11:30AM using Zoom. This meeting will include worship, business meeting and training opportunities.

CONFIRMATION RETREAT 2021

We will be consulting with Erin Wehrmeister about how we might plan a Virtual Confirmation Retreat with the possibility of a Day Camp Event at Camp Monroe. This is tentative and no dates have been set but we would be aiming for February.

The 224th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) took place June 19-27, 2020. I was honored to be a Ruling Elder Commissioner, representing the Presbytery of Coastal Carolina. Obviously, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it could not take place in Baltimore as planned, so it was held virtually. Each Commissioner and Delegate was supposed to use two screens, one with the Zoom Meeting and one with PC-Biz active. As I understand it, PC-Biz would have been used at an in-person GA anyway - it is used to keep all the Commissioners, Delegates and other attendees up to date as to the business before the body and to cast votes.

Because this was the first virtual GA in the history of the PC(USA), and because there had never before been a need or an expectation for holding a virtual GA, the Book of Order requires, “a stated meeting at least biennially”. A virtual GA does not meet this requirement, so everything that the 224th GA approved will have to be ratified by the 225th GA in 2022. Knowing this, and because most of the big decisions are usually done in committee meetings, there were many things that were not allowed to be brought up, including changes to the Book of Order, and anything not considered “critical business”. A normal GA has each Commissioner assigned to a committee, and each and every item of business to come before the body is first reviewed in committee. Since nobody travelled to Baltimore, there were no committees meeting during this GA. Before the first plenary, on June 19, a committee that most of us were not part of decided which items that had been submitted for consideration were critical and which were not. This did help quite a bit in keeping the meeting moving.

The theme of this General Assembly was, “Lament to Hope”. Obviously, we all lamented the missed experience of a “real” General Assembly. Some of our other lamentations included the racial injustices and riots that were foremost in most of our country’s minds in late June, the impact the Corona Virus was having on our economy, and on some of our personal finances, and the confrontational attitude many of our elected leaders have foisted upon the population.

I was VERY proud that our church, in dealing with all the “critical business” that was before us, made a conscious effort to be inclusive,

rather than divisive, in every decision that had any kind of racial, gender, or sexual orientation ramifications. Jesus didn’t preach divisiveness - He preached LOVE. I think that this, more than anything, shows that the PC(USA) is trying to be a leader in social and moral change. This, from a denomination that had racially segregated presbyteries as late as the 1980s!

The General Assembly was closed with 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence, in remembrance of how long George Floyd had a police officer’s knee pressed into his neck, leading to his death by asphyxiation. The church has come a long way, and I hope it continues to lead by example, sharing God’s love for ALL people, whether they are like me or not.

Assignment:

Reflect on how you feel now. What does this GA say about where the church has been? How did this GA speak to the issues of our day? Did you see signs of hope/concern about where the church is heading? What issue were you hoping to hear the church address and how do you feel about the way it was addressed? What issue impacts churches elsewhere that you heard about for the first time or in a new way? What does the theme “Lament to Hope” now mean to you?
