THE PERMANENT JUDICIAL COMMISSION

OF THE SYNOD OF THE PACIFIC

OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (U.S.A.)



THOMAS MICHAEL SMITH ) DECISION APPELLANT, ) AND JUDGEMENT )

PRESBYTERY OF SACRAMENTO, ) )

APPELLEE, )

) The Permanent Judicial Commission of the Synod of the Pacific, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) heard this appeal case on February 26, 1999. Reverend Thomas Michael Smith (Rev. Smith) and his attorney, Mr. Joseph B. de Illy, appeared. Ms. Rebecca Westmore, attorney, Joreen Jarrell, and Rev. Ed Longabaugh appeared for the Prosecuting Committee of the Presbytery of Sacramento. Mr. de Illy and Ms. Westmore presented oral augments to this Commission.

Commission members J. Richard Saldine, of the Sacramento Presbytery, and Joan Blackstone, of the San Francisco Presbytery, were recused and did not participate in this case.

This Commission determined that each party to this appeal had:

1. Made no challenges to the findings of the Moderator and Clerk on preliminary questions;

2. No filed an application nor sought to admit newly discovered evidence, under D-14.0502.

3. Stipulated that these items had become part of the records: The Decision of the Permanent Judicial Commission of the Sacramento Presbytery in this case; The Prosecuting Committee's Response to Rev. Smith's Motion to Dismiss; Rev. Smith's Reply Brief; The partial transcript of Margaret Jean McArthur's testimony; The transcript of Karen Lebacqz's testimony; The transcripts (March 27, 1998 and May 15, 1998) of Rev. Smith's testimony; The transcript of Mark Benish's testimony.

FACTS

The Permanent Judicial Commission of the Presbytery of Sacramento (SPJC) heard this disciplinary case against Rev. Smith, Pastor of the Community Presbyterian Church of Vacaville, California. On September 20, 1996, the Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Sacramento received a written statement on a Form 26 that accused Rev. Smith of Committing the offense of Professional Misconduct. (SPJC Exhibit 11). On October 16, 1996, the Investigating Committee began to investigate this alleged offense. On May 15, 1997, the Investigating Committee concluded that five charges be filed against Rev. Smith. (SPJC Exhibit 1). Before any trial, the SPJC dismissed two of the charges. The Prosecuting Committee filed Amended Charges on the three remaining charges.

The Amended Charges (SPJC Exhibit 6) alleged:

1. Rev. Smith in 1996 committed the offense of professional misconduct in that he set in motion a series of acts that constituted complete disregard for the ethical, moral and professional boundaries existing between him and a member of the Presbytery Church (U.S.A.);

2. Rev. Smith in 1995 failed to provide pastoral care to certain members who had lost their second child during a stillbirth;

3. Rev. Smith engaged in conduct inappropriate for a minister of the word and sacrament when on three separate occasions he sent to numerous individuals email jokes that were crude, obscene and contained irreverent references to Jesus Christ.

After a four day trial and testimony by many witnesses, the SPJC found Rev. Smith guilty on the three charges, but dismissed with prejudice under the third charge the email jokes sent on November 8, 1996, and February 2, 1997. The SPJC found as to Charge 1: ""he sexualization of pastoral relationships constitutes professional misconduct and establishment and observance of appropriate boundaries is the obligation of the pastor who has the power in such relationships." The SPJC found as to Charge 2: "However, the reference to a 'shot-gun wedding' at the funeral service for Grant Pederson and the failure to take even a few seconds or minutes to pray with the Pederson's after missing worship on the day the clocks changed is so insensitive and beyond minimal standards of care it cannot go unnoticed." The SPJC found as to Charge 3: "The December 1, 1996, email is entirely another matter and crosses the bounds of the minimal standards of appropriate conduct, particularly in light of the fact that it was being sent to young adults who may still be impressionable."

The SPJC ordered Rev. Smith temporarily excluded for a period of not to exceed three years, within which time he shall successfully complete a rehabilitation program supervised by the Committee on Ministry. The rehabilitation program to start within six months after the SPJC decision becomes final. The exclusion is stayed during the rehabilitation program and shall be permanently stayed upon successful completion.

ISSUES ON APPEAL

Rev. Smith appealed to the Synod PJC, and asserted: Charge 1 must be reversed because he was deprived of due process of law resulting in the injustice in the process or decision, error in constitutional interpretation, and irregularity in the proceedings; that Charges 2 and 3 must be reversed as they resulted from irregularity I the proceedings and error in constitutional interpretation.

As to Charge 1, Rev. Smith contended: The term professional misconduct was not defined for him prior to the commission of the acts; and the Presbytery's Stated Clerk failed to refer the first letter of complaint dated July 28, 1996, to the Committee on Ministry.

As to Charges 2 and 3, Rev. Smith contended no formal accusation was ever submitted to the Presbytery's Stated Clerk.

Presbytery of Sacramento (SAC) contended: As to Charge 1, that criminal law concepts of due process did not apply, and that Rev. Smith was accorded procedural safeguards and due process as provided in the Book of Order; that a person of common intelligence would not have to guess that Rev. Smith's conduct crossed the boundaries by sexualizing his relationship with a woman member of his congregation; and that G-11.0502 imposes not obligation of the Stated Clerk to refer a complaint to the Committee on Ministry.

As to Charges 2 and 3, SAC contended under D-10.0202e, the investigation committee may in the course of its investigation discover other offenses, which could result in charges.

DECISION AND APPEAL

After the hearing and after deliberations, this Commission voted separately not to sustain each specification of error alleged by Rev. Smith. This Commission carefully considered the contentions and arguments of the parties. Rev. Smith conceded during oral argument he was not challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. The SPJC heard the testimony and saw the witnesses and was in the best position to decided any issues on credibility of the witnesses. Rev. Smith did not establish that the SPJC and/or the Prosecuting Committee of the Presbytery of Sacramento had deprived Rev. Smith of due process, or imposed an injustice in process or decision, or committee an error in constitutional interpretation, or committee an irregularity in its proceedings.

This Commission rejects Rev. Smith's contention that the term "professional misconduct" was not defined for him prior to the commission of the acts. A minister of common intelligence and professional integrity bears an unavoidable responsibility, from the time of ordination to engage in and comprehend the special ethical standard, that his "…manner of life should be demonstration of the Christian gospel in the church and in the world." D-6.9106, Book of Order (1997-1998). (See also SPJC Exhibits 9 and 10). A minister, who is in a position of power vis a vis a church member, clearly knows he does not meet the minimal standard for professional conduct when he sexualizes that relationship. Karen Lebabqz, a professor of Theological Ethics, provided an expert opinion that pastors are required to continue to have training and to be in touch with the boundaries of ethics as they continue to be a pastor.

This Commission will not second-guess the SPJC's factual finding that the pastor had sexualized the relationship. The SPJC decision properly held that the pastor's sexualization of a pastoral relationship constituted professional misconduct. The pastor's professional misconduct was in act by an officer of the church that was contrary to the Scriptures or the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and constituted an offense, as defined by D-2.0203b, Book of Order (1996-1997).

This Commission rejects Rev. Smith's contention that the Presbytery Stated Clerk was required to refer to the Committee on Ministry the first letter of complaint dated July 26, 1996. The Committee on Ministry plays an important role to promote the peace and harmony of the churches, as provided in

G-11.0502, Book of Order (1996-1997). However, the provisions of the Book of Order do not require the Presbytery's Sated Clerk to refer all letters of complaint to the committee.

This Commission rejects Rev. Smith's contention that charges 2 and 3 must be reversed because not written statement of an alleged offense was referred to the investigating committee. This Commission finds that D-10.0103 was not intended to impose such an impractical restriction on the investigating committee's efforts to find the truth. To require the investigating committee to have a written statement referred by the Stated Clerk for every new offense that comes to its attention would unduly hinder that committee, and cause a piecemeal inquiry. One of the purposes of discipline is to "secure the just, speedy and economical determination of proceedings." D-1.0101, Book of Order, (1996-1997).

The investigating committee shall: Make a thorough inquiry into the facts and circumstances of the alleged offense; examine all relevant papers, documents, and records available to it; ascertain all available witnesses and inquire of them; and determine whether there are probable grounds or cause to believe that an offense was committed by the accused. D-10.0202, Book of Order (1996-1997). The Book of Order provisions contain no restriction that once an investigating committee undertakes an inquiry that it must have a new written statement referred to it in order to find grounds that a particular offense was committed.

In conclusion, this Commission affirms the decision of the Permanent Judicial Commission of the Presbytery of Sacramento.

JUDGMENT

IT IS HEREBY ADJUDGED, and ORDERED: This Commission has by voting separately decided not to sustain each of the specifications of error alleged by Rev. Smith; and therefore the Decision of the permanent Judicial Commission of the Presbytery of Sacramento is affirmed.

COMMISSIONING DELEGATES TO THE 211TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY: The Moderator asked that the Rev. Gail Cullerton, Rev. Barry Cavaghan, Elder Russ Cayler, Elder Marie Segur, and YAD Cecily Wright (who replaces Briagha Stevens who would be unable to attend) to come forward.

She charged them to seek and follow God's leading as they cast their votes on the issues that would come before them. She then closed with prayer.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES: . . . Go to the Top , Contents , Index / Links , End , or back to the Main page.

Kay Cayler reported for the Trustees, as follows:

Presbytery at an earlier date had voted to recommend to the Synod to approve a line of credit of $105,000 for Peace Presbyterian Church. Trustees have recommended that before Peace requests a line of credit, that they hold their Capital Campaign. Therefore, Kay recommends that the original recommendation asking for the line of credit be reaffirmed.

Presbytery Voted to approve this recommendation.

Kay went on to report that the Trustees were asked to consider asking Presbytery to recommend to Synod that they approve a loan to Sierra Presbyterian Church in Nevada City for $200,000. Upon a review of the church's budget and its percentage of mission giving, Trustees voted not to recommend this request. Synod has a policy that any church which gives less than 5% of their budget not be given a loan and churches who are over 5%, but under 10% must sign a covenant agreeing to increase their mission giving. Nevada City currently gives less than 5% of its budget to all Presbyterian missions.

She then presented the following Enabling Motion: That the Presbytery of Sacramento grant authority to the Trustees to act on the behalf of the Presbytery on the request of the Northminster Presbyterian Church in Sacramento for approval of the sale of undeveloped property in El Dorado County known to the church as McLean Campground, specifically:

1. To grant or deny the approval of the sale if requested by the congregation at a duly called meeting, and

2. If such request is made and a response needed in a timely manner to satisfy conditions of an accepted offer, and such response is not possible by the next stated meeting of Presbytery, and

3. If the Trustees are satisfied with the terms of the sale and the uses of the proceeds as stated in the actions of the congregation, including the satisfaction of any constitutional considerations, and

4. This authority to continue between the stated Presbytery Meetings of April 17, 1999, July 10, 1999, September 25, 1999 and November 30, 1999.

Kay explained that this action is being taken so that if they receive an offer and the congregation approves the sale, this grants the Trustees the authority to approve the sale, so that the church will not have to wait for the approval at a stated meeting. The property is located in Happy Valley in Southeast Placer County.

Presbytery Voted to approve giving the Trustees the authority to approve the sale.

COMMITTEE ON PLANNING: Kay reported that the most current email address listing is available at the Clerks desk. Presbytery was reminded that if they have an email address they would no longer receive their minutes or the call through the mail. This does not apply to persons who use MacIntosh operating systems, as they will be unable to download the minutes unless they have software that can accommodate the IBM operating system. She asked people to let her know if this or other reasons would prevent them from downloading the minutes. If minutes cannot be received electronically they will be mailed.

The Moderator opened the floor to announcements from the floor.

Rev. Dick Wylie reported that The Bridge was available on the back tables, and asked Presbytery to please pick their packets so that he didn't have to mail them out.

Bev Anderson from the Auburn Presbyterian Church invited Presbytery to their groundbreaking ceremony on April 25, 1999.

Rev. Joanne Hines, Sierra Mission Partnership (SMP), request that if there are any other churches have property suitable for campgrounds to let the Camp and Conference Committee for SMP know as they are desperate to find new facilities as they have maxed out everything currently available.

Presbytery Voted to approve the substitute motion to be consistent throughout the Bylaws using the terms "Chairperson" and "Chairpersons".
