- Archdeacon Graham
- Text
- That the following clause (omitted from Recommendation VIII in Convening Circular) be reinstated:
- We recommend that, in view of the constant contacts throughout Canada between these two bodies, especially, and ourselves, we should, in the words of the Lambeth Appeal to all Christian Peoples of 1920, be ready to embark upon "An adventure of good-will and still more of faith, for nothing less is required than a new discovery of the creative resources of God." CARRIED in the Lower House; Upper House reserved decision.
- Notes
- Text of Recommendation VIII "Cooperation" as found on pp. 118-199 in "The Report of the Field Commissioners to the Anglican National Commission May 18th, 1931" bound with 1931 General Synod Journal of Proceedings.
- VIII. Co-operation
- That since, in the sparsely settled parts of our country the difficulty in reaching, with any degree of regularity, the scattered groups of our people, is almost insurmountable, which difficulty extends to other Christian communions, we recommend that in the interests of the Christian faith and advance be made to the authorities of the United Church and the Presbyterian Church with a view to discovering if some arrangement could be made for a more friendly co-operation with them in the matter of ministering to these small units, subject always to the principle being clearly indicated that we must administer the sacraments to our own people. We recommend that, in view of the constant contacts throughout Canada between these two bodies, especially, and ourselves, we should, in the words of the Lambeth Appeal to all Christian Peoples of 1920, be ready to embark upon "An adventure of good-will and still more of faith, for nothing less is required than a new discovery of the creative resources of God."
