"The 1988 General Convention of the Episcopal Church called for AIDS education in every congregation by the end of 1989 and requested that models of AIDS education be made available that 'promote abstinence or monogamy as well as candid and complete instruction regarding disease prevention measures'. I am pleased to commend 'Advising Young People about AIDS' to you and your congregation. This resource can help you and the people of your congregation respond to the AIDS crisis. It is a part of 'Youth Ministry in the Age of AIDS', an educational project of the Youth Ministries Office at the Episcopal Church Center in New York City, and directed toward the young people of our Church, their families, and the adults who minister to and with them". -- [Preface].

"All Saints' Day is an important day in the Church Year. It is listed as one of the `principal feasts' of the Church Year (BAS, page 15), and it is one of the few days that has an `octave' (it is celebrated for eight days). Anglicans place a special importance on celebrating this day, and many Anglican churches are dedicated to All Saints. You will find out more about All Saints' Day and the other festivals surrounding it. Hallowe'en and All Souls Day, on Information Sheet #1. In this learning centre, the students will be given general information about saints and martyrs, and some more detailed stories about particular Christian men and women. One of the goals of this material is to help children understand that they, as baptized Christians, are saints, too.", l. 3a.

"This kit, prepared by the peacemaking working group of the National Unit on Public Social Responsibility (Anglican Church of Canada), is designed to assist parishes in their work towards the making of peace in an increasingly insecure world. In spite of the growing militarization of our world and the widespread violence in it, most people all over the world long for peace, but find themselves almost powerless to promote it. The role of the peacemaker is to encourage people's desire for peace, help them find ways of effectively promoting it within themselves, in their interpersonal attitudes and activities, and enable them to work for socio-political and economic change which will lead to a world at peace". -- Intro., p. 2.

"The following four reports try to express ways in which we as Christians, in the community of the Church, can begin to use the riches of the faith as resources for living at this particular time. Every day of our lives we all live at three levels, as individuals, as members of communities (business firm, parish, family, volunteer committee), and we all have a public existence even if it is only being made aware every day of the world around us. In 1975 in a report called 'On Singing the Lord's Song in a Strange Land', (1) an attempt was made to share some insights about the first two levels at which we live. These four reports are mainly about the third, the public or political level of life". -- Intro.
