1. That this General Synod rejoices and celebrates with all the people of the Republic of South Africa in their hard won freedom and the peaceful election of their first democratic government, and therefore affirms the sacrificial and invaluable contribution made by our partners (the South African Council of Churches and the Church of the Province of Southern Africa) to the process of dismantling apartheid;
2. That this General Synod encourages all Canadian Anglicans to continue to hold up our partners in prayer and solidarity as they keep on in their transforming mission;
