But after 30 years, Mr. beeves has decided to hand the respon- sibilities over to another church member, Ray Wise. Lay delegates are their churches' representative to the diocese and are ap- pointed by the congregation for a one year term. Explaining his job, Mr. beeves said, "The lay delegates and the rectors meet at least once a year for three or four days in London to decide on the budget, what the churches need and other church business. "They also elect the committees for the diocese with each committee consisting of 50 per cent lay delegates and 50 per cent clerical." Mr. Deeves further explained that all church work has to be passed by clerical and lay delegates. St. James Middleton .falls under the Saugeen South area with Saugeen North, Waterloo, Wellington, Brant, Brough, Delaware, Essex, Kent, Lambton, Medway, Norfolk, Oxford and Perth making up the Huron Diocese. Each of these areas meet separately three or four times a year as well as attending the diocese meetings. During Mr. Deeves 30 years, he served under nine bishops, starting with Bishop Lexton, Suffragan W.A. Townshend, Suf- fragan Bishop Appleyard, Bishop Carmen Queen, Bishop David Ragg, Suffragan Parke Taylor, Bishop Derwyn Jones, Suf- fragan Bishop Morse Robinson and Suf- fragan Robert Townshend. The diocese has remained very stable throughout the years, but Mr. Deeves has noticed two major changes, both involving the introduction of women to the church. "When I first started, there were no lady lay delegates, then in the early '60s a few started. Now well over half of the lay delegates are ladies," he explained. "The second change I've seen is ladies becoming ministers," said Mr. Deeves, ad- ding that this change came about in the '80s. Mr. Deeves decided to retire this year because he felt he had fulfilled his duties , and it was someone else's turn to take over. However, he is still active in the church.
