A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is used in organizations to define the roles and procedures between two (or more) groups in the organization. When it is to be used is as one definition on the web puts it: "When less than a contract is needed but more than a handshake".
It is to be a collaborative effort between groups to identify the common goals, procedures, and policies. It is also to be used to define the differences and how these differences would be handled.
Prior to a recommendation contained in the INC-055C study committee report a MOU document did not exist between the United Thank Offering and Domestic and Foreign Mission Society (DFMS). The United Thank Offering Board has taken the study committee recommendations to heart. Since the acceptance of the study committee at the 2012 General Convention the board has completed three (3) of the five (5) major recommendations. During this time the board began work on a draft of their MOU prior to the July 15th meeting with the Presiding Bishop, DFMS personnel, and the majority of the United Thank Offering board.
The first section that follows is the draft MOU the United Thank Offering task force members forwarded to the Presiding Bishop. During the July 15th meeting call by the Presiding Bishop she ask the attendees to:
- Establish a task force consisting of four (4) DFMS members and four United Thank Offering Board members to put together by-law and MOU documents.
- Schedule following meetings to accomplish the above documents by 9/15/2013.
At the closing of the 7/15 meeting
the task force members met and established 8/1 as the date for the first follow
on meeting. (See the Accomplishments and Obstacles page for addition history
leading up to and following this meeting).
Below is the DFMS MOU followed by the
UTO MOU

A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE
UNITED THANK OFFERING AND THE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY
Background:
The United Thank
Offering Board 2012-2015
In entering into the 2012-2015 Triennium, the United Thank
Offering Board has had as a roadmap for thinking and decision making the report
from INC-055 Ad-Hoc Committee of the Executive Council. The report states that the work of the
committee was "meant primarily to be a visioning exercise, providing
recommendations to the 2012 General Convention concerning United Thank Offering
and its vision for the 21st Century."
The report continues with recommendations:
"Our recommendations....highlight
several common concerns:
visibility, communication,
autonomy and support. For the United
Thank Offering to be successful
in the coming years each of these
Concerns must be addressed."
Sarita Redd, United Thank Offering Board President, opened
the first meeting of the 2012-2015 Board with emphasis on the importance of
consciously embracing the recommendations of the study report, and using them
in our process of developing goals and objectives for the Triennium. The 2012-2015 Board is on this trajectory.
Significant Points
for United Thank Offering Visioning
The United Thank Offering Board has taken to heart several
statements from the INC-055 report as being central to the goals of the
Executive Council for the United Thank Offering, of the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society current leadership and
the current United Thank Offering Board.
The first statement is the one quoted above; a second is:
"We believe that the United Thank Offering
must continue to be autonomous
but interdependent as regards the corporate entity that
constitutes The
Episcopal Church."
A third is:
"As an affiliated organization to The
Episcopal Church it is accountable both
to the official governing bodies – the General Convention, the
Executive Council and the
programmatic offices that grow from the work of the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Society, and to the
UTO community and the Triennial Meeting of The Episcopal
Church Women. It is also autonomous in its work as an organization devoted to prayer, mission and
giving.
A Fourth is taken from the first and last statements of the study
committee report conclusions:
"Therefore we seek to
provide the United Thank Offering support, visibility, autonomy and connection...... And we would be willing,
should the United Thank Offering
Board invite us, to walk along side in support of the United Thank Offering, seeking, as it has been for
years, to expand the circle of thankfulness."
The United Thank Offering Board has suddenly found itself in the midst
of a set of contentious interactions that has taken all of its members by
surprise. The opinion of the entire
board is that these specific issues are easily resolved; it is the underlying
issue of trust and confidence in the relationship between the two leadership
organizations that is not easily resolved.
These events have required that the current Board look closely at this
central issue of Autonomy and
understand for itself what that word means in the 2012-2015 Triennium within
all the perpetual poundings of expectations and requirements.
At the core of the discussion are two documents that are
intended, according to the INC-055 report, to help define the relationship
between UTO and TEC (DFMS). One is a
Letter of Agreement related to United Thank Offering Staff. The other is a Memorandum of Understanding:
"The United Thank Offering
Bylaws requires a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between the United Thank Offering Board and the Officers of the
Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society regarding the relationship between the
United Thank Offering Board and The Episcopal Church. The occasion of signing
that MOU signals the commitment to a relationship of trust and cooperation."
The United Thank Offering Board is clear that a relationship of trust
and cooperation is not going to be created by a memorandum. A relationship is built from a series of
interactions where both parties feel
they have been heard, their needs have been heard and the coming actions will
reflect this relational understanding.
The key word here is feel.
It is also clear to the United Thank Offering Board that one of the
issues that clouds how to build trust and understanding is the DFMS staff
position defined as "UTO Coordinator." This position is a historical position created along with the
development of the United Thank Offering Committee that emerged from the
Episcopal Church Women organization.
The governing body of the United Thank Offering has emerged from the
INC-055 study as a Board. A Board has specific responsibilities for governing an
organization; this new autonomous Board has developed a set of By-Laws and
Policies and Procedures in cooperating with The Episcopal Church of which it is
an interdependent part.
In understanding the responsibility of being a Board, this body has
examined its needs and the needs of its relationship to The Episcopal Church,
and seeks to develop the required Memorandum of Understanding by proposing some
very specific immediate changes to its By Laws and Policies and
Procedures. The Board feels these changes
will remove some major areas of stress regarding the relationship. These changes also acknowledge the abilities
of a professional volunteer board committed to its tasks, and the need for
management processes done by professional staff. It also acknowledges that it has been historically stressful
during the last two trienniums to have a staff person serving "two
masters."
Our Presiding Bishop stated once that the way you present the Gospel is
"You show up. You listen. You tell
the truth." These words are action
words. The current situation calls for
action. The United Thank Offering Board now is showing up. We have listened to the statements and
documents presented to us in the last two weeks. We would now like to offer what we can see through prayer—our
truths that may help take us to the place where we all desire to be and that is
relationship.
The United Thank Offering Board is defined as a Board by
the Executive Council of The Episcopal Church and is defined as an autonomous organization
that has an interdependent relationship with The Episcopal Church. The United Thank Offering has a very
long-standing history (125 years) as an organization that has sustained the
varied ministries of the Women of the Church and has contributed both
monetarily and theologically to the work of TEC. The
United Thank Offering has historically done its work in direct relationship
with The Episcopal Church; it has also done its work independently from
supervision or management from The Episcopal Church.
The document here is an attempt to create the required Memorandum of
Understanding. If the ideas put forth
in this document are acceptable to both the Domestic and Foreign Missionary
Society and the United Thank Offering then the stage is set for building the
relationship between the parties, allowing for the development of trust and
cooperation. If this concept for the Memorandum of Understanding addresses the
concerns of UTO and DFMS, the Letter of Agreement becomes unnecessary. The MOU defines the needs and requirements
of both parties, if accepted.
