- (026-14-00-05 REVISED us attached as Appendix E)
- APPENDIX "E"
- 026-14-00-05 REVISED
- Advice and Direction to Working Groups and Taskforces Mandated at the May 2000 Meeting of the Council of General Synod
- Our goals in this crisis are:
- - Healing and reconciliation
- - Survival (in order to take part in healing and reconciliation)
- - Agreement with government (in order to survive)
- (from 033-14-00-05)
- At this meeting, we have mandated groups to:
- - Make adjustments to the 2000 budget (007-09-00-05 revised)
- - Prepare a 2001 budget (044-05-00-05)
- - Prepare proposals for alternative forms of organization (044-06-00-05)
- - Make decisions about financial viability (if required) (044-07-00-05)
- In these tasks, we hope these values will be upheld
- - faithfulness to the Gospel and the body of Christ
- - repentance and forgiveness
- - willingness to change
- - hopefulness
- - truth-telling, transparency, and integrity
- Mindful of the question, "what work will not be done at all if it is not done nationally ?", we affirm the following essential competencies we must retain:
- - the primacy
- - the capacity to respond to litigation and contribute to healing and reconciliation
- - the capacity to gather indigenous Anglicans from across the country
- - the capacity for national funding support to assisted dioceses
- - the capacity to remain connected to the Anglican Communion
- - the capacity to authorize liturgical texts for use in the Canadian church
- - the capacity to develop our relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada
- - the capacity to communicate with ecclesiastical provinces, dioceses, parishes, and individual Anglicans in Canada
- It would be desirable to retain the following competencies:
- - the capacity to nurture ecumenical relationships
- - the capacity for the national House of Bishops to meet
- - the capacity to contribute to partnerships in the Anglican Communion
- - the capacity to advocate for social justice and prophetic mission within Canada
- - the capacity to network among ecclesiastical provinces, dioceses, parishes, and individual Anglicans in Canada
- This is based on the understanding that PWRDF (through separate incorporation) and the Pension Plan (including group benefits) will continue.
- We also want to share the following key messages:
- to Management Team:
- - consider suspending programs and not eliminating them
- - staff must be treated fairly and justly
- - staff must give input to all taskforces regarding cutbacks, alterations, and the future
- to Standing Committees & Councils:
- - do the work you can within your mandate and financial constraints to contribute to healing and reconciliation
- - use the November 2000 meeting:
- -- to prepare Committee reports for General Synod 2001
- -- to plan for the future of the work
- a. if financial resources are further reduced
- b. if radical change in organizational structure is anticipated or required
