- Prologue
- Act 73
- Requested the National Executive Council to consider the effects of increasing the period between Synods, and to have amendments to the Handbook prepared in this regard.
- Act 108
- Received a notice of Motion to be considered at the next Synod, to amend Section 2(1) of the Constitution to enable Synod to meet every third year.
- The Organization Committee has considered these Acts and, in view of the relationship and authority questions presently existing between General Synod and the Dioceses and House of Bishops,
- and in view of the rapid social change in our society and church today, and because a longer gap between sessions of General Synod would likely mean a longer Synod, which delegates do not generally desire (see evaluation of 1973 Synod),
- and because there was no general feeling expressed in the evaluation of the '73 Synod that it should meet less frequently,
- the following resolutions were put:
- Text
- That no increase in the period between General Synods be contemplated at this time. CARRIED
- [Moved by Nock, seconded by Light]
- That provision be made for as much continuity as possible on major committees of General Synod because the two year space is a short one for Committees to work at their tasks. CARRIED
- That the Committee on Organization be asked by the National Executive Council to explore ways of ensuring this continuity, possibly by electing persons to major committees for a four year term. CARRIED
