Notes
N.B. Because of difficulties which arose in arranging accommodation, it became necessary to schedule the December meeting of the House of Bishops for December 2-7, 1973.
It was generally agreed that, due to the amount of material addressed from General Synod to the House of Bishops, the House meet in Niagara Falls on November 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The Bishops' wives are invited to accompany their respective husbands.
"That Number 2 be amended to read: 'The Chairman of the four such assemblies shall in each case be a person present who shall have already been appointed to the General Synod Nominating Committee." CARRIED
