- Prologue
- The report of the Pension Committee was presented by Admiral Rayner, assisted by Mrs. Mason and the Venerable E. Hobson.
- Specific note was made of the second paragraph which reads:
- We wish to draw to your attention, and the Reverend Wm. Lowe has been advised accordingly, of the concern of the Pension Committee regarding the possibility of the National Executive Council curtailing the time devoted to business at the Fall meeting to be held in 1974. December 31, 1973 was designated as the time for an actuarial evaluation, and General Synod made firm recommendations regarding use of any surplus reported. It is most important therefore that the National Executive Council have sufficient time to discuss these matters. The actions taken on the proposals will not be available until after the Summer of 1974. There will undoubtedly be other matters also upon which the Pension Committee will wish to report.

- Prologue
- During the concluding session of the meeting, the Primate suggested that possibly the NEC might wish to associate itself with actions taken by PECUSA in regard to Corporate Social Responsibility.
- Text
- That this NEC hear, for information, the action of the Episcopal Church. CARRIED
- Notes
- Mr. Anthony spoke of the resolutions on Southern Africa filed with twelve U.S. based corporations by a coalition of six denominations in the U.S.A. These proxy resolutions are information (disclosure) requests from the corporations about the nature of their activities in South Africa and Angola where racist, colonial, white regimes rely on police and military powers to maintain themselves. The intention is to raise public awareness of such corporations' involvement in racially troubled areas. The NWP [National World Program] Division feels that it is extremely important and a significant function on the part of Church agencies to exercise their proxy votes in support of these resolutions. It was noted that the Anglican Church of Canada has holdings in four of these U.S. based corporations: IBM, Xerox, Kodak and Exxon.
- Reference was made also to the motion approved by the Central Committee of the WCC, supporting this kind of activity and requesting its member Churches, Christian agencies and individual Christians outside Southern Africa to use all their influence, including stockholder action and disinvestment, to press corporations to withdraw investments from and cease trading with South Africa, the Portuguese territories and Rhodesia.

- Prologue
- The Provincial Synod of Canada passed the following motion at its meeting in June, 1974:
- "Be it resolved that this Provincial Synod of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada accede to the request of the Diocesan Synod of Newfoundland that the said Diocese be reconstructed into three Dioceses, each with its own Bishop and Synod, as required to meet the pastoral needs of the Church in Newfoundland, and that the necessary steps be taken to secure the consent of the General Synod to such action.
- Notwithstanding this approval: we wish to urge the Church in Newfoundland to consider the wisdom of establishing but one administrative office for the three Dioceses, and of providing for a Province-wide regional Synod, with one of the Bishops as its Chairman, and its members elected by the Diocesan Synods, as an appropriate instrument for decision-making with regard to mutual concerns and for giving continued expression to the identity of the Church with Newfoundland as a whole."
- The Organization Committee recommends to the National Executive Council that the following motion be included in the Convening Circular along with this motion, in order to place this question before the Synod:
- That General Synod give its consent to the substance of the above motion passed by the Provincial Synod of Canada, as provided for in Section 7(2)(c) of the Declaration of Principles.
- Text
- That the Motion with reference to the Diocese of Newfoundland be included in the Convening Circular. CARRIED

- In response to this motion Archbishop Davis read information on further action taken by the Diocese of Newfoundland.
