"On 29 January 1971, the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada resolved to direct the National Executive Council, 'to initiate a process of revision of Church Services without delay, which will produce alternatives to services now offered by the 1959 Canadian "Book of Common Prayer"; and which will provide guidelines for their use throughout the Anglican Church of Canada.' The Synod also resolved, 'that in future revisions of our Common Prayer Book, more emphasis be given to permissive forms and less to mandatory forms of public worship, in order that in the use of one common book, we may still achieve that flexibility and variety we deem desirable. And that in the meantime General Synod be asked to give guidance to diocesan authorities in relaxing the rigid conformist notes still written into our Common Prayer Book'. By these and other resolutions the General Synod channelled and directed a movement for liturgical change which already existed, and inaugurated a period of experiment, evaluation, and change." -- Intro., p. 7.

"In 1971 and again in 1973, General Synods of the Anglican Church of Canada passed resolutions leading towards the adoption of a new practice and a new rite for christian initiation. A further resolution of the 1973 Synod called for intensive study of this subject throughout the Canadian church. The documents and rites collected in this booklet were prepared by the Christian Initiation Task Force of General Synod's Committee on Doctrine and Worship, and were presented by that committee to the 1971 and 1973 General Synods. They are published in this form by the committee (with only minor editing) to make them generally available through the church, as a first step in enabling the study called for by the Synod. Also included for reference are the major resolutions on christian initiation passed by the two General Synods. This will be followed by publication of a more extensive study guide on christian initiation". -- Preface.
