- Amended Resolution 1 from GBRE on General Policy of Church's Educational Ministry
- That the following resolution be referred to the Committee on Theological Education for study and report:
- "Therefore Be It Resolved that this General Synod affirm the following standards of education for the renewal of the Church in its mission and ministry:
- 1. We must seek as much as possible to train and educate both lay and clerical members of the Church together.
- 2. On-the-job training provides the opportunity for testing the success or failure of training. Education should be geared as closely as possible to local ministry and the mission of the Church.
- 3. We can learn far more from our experience than we do. Research, planning, experimenting and evaluation all need to be elements of designs for education.
- 4. The Church must be encouraged to use the full resources of the community, including the experience of the laity and the non-Christian.
- 5. At every opportunity education should be inter-church and ecumenical.
- 6. There must be as much integration as possible between colleges, dioceses and national departments.
- And that this General Synod requests the National Executive Council to direct such funds as shall become available for the purpose of (a) bursaries (b) partial support of pilot projects and experimental work with dioceses which meet the above standards, such funds to be administered by the appropriate body of the National Office;
- And instruct the Program Planning and Research Committee (or its successor) and the Committee on Theological Education to accept the invitation of the United Church to participate with other Churches in any planning for a national consultation on ecumenical structures for theological education, and the sharing in the cost of such a consultation!"

- The Bishop of Nova Scotia reported, with deep regret, the passing on January 25th, 1960, of the Right Reverend William Charles White, retired Bishop of Honan, China, and the first Bishop of that Diocese. Consecrated in November 30th, 1909 in St. James' Cathedral, Toronto, Bishop White gave his life to the work of the Church overseas. Due to his zeal and perseverance, the way was opened for the consecration of a Chinese priest to succeed him and thereby an indigenous episcopate for the Chung Hwa Sheng Kung Hui was established.

- Prologue
- The Bishop of Ontario presented the revision of "Guidelines" which had been presented to the House at Augusta, 1968, but which had not been dealt with at that time. This revision of the Guidelines was printed as Appendix D to the Minutes of the 1968 Augusta meeting.
- The Archbishop of Algoma also presented a report on behalf of a Committee appointed by the Primate to bring Lambeth Resolutions 40 and 41 before the House. This report was brought in while the House considered "Guidelines on Bishops" because its content was pertinent.
- The report was as follows:
- Resolution 40
- In concurring with Resolution 40 (Lambeth Conference, 1968) the Committee appointed by the Primate, consisting of the Bishop of Moosonee, the Bishop of James' Bay and the Archbishop of Algoma, recommend that the Canadian House of Bishops adopt Resolution 40 (Lambeth Conference, 1968) and that the same be incorporated in the Minutes of this meeting.
- For the implementation of this motion, the Committee would refer to Appendix D, Section VIII, Cl. (2) on page 31, 1968 Minutes -- (Guidelines for the use of Bishops) and further that Cl. (5) Section (e) be changed to make obligatory the appointment of an Assistant Bishop as ex officio member of the Executive.
- Resolution 40: "The Conference affirms its opinion that all co-adjutor, suffragan, and full-time assistant bishops should exercise every kind of episcopal function and have their place as Bishops in the councils of the Church."
- Resolution 41
- The Committee recommend to the House of Bishops, the adoption of Resolution 41.
- Resolution 41: "The Conference recommends that the bishops as leaders and representatives of a servant Church, should radically examine the honours paid to them in the course of divine worship, in titles and customary address, and in style of living, while having the necessary facilities for the efficient carry on of their work."
- In its implementation, the Committee would suggest the dropping of diocesan signatures and meaningless titles, such as "My Lord".
- Text
- "That the Committee Report relative to Resolution 40 of Lambeth be adopted."
