- Notes
- "Anglican clergy are paid less than clergy in many other churches according to an interim report on compensation conducted for the Anglican Church". "The survey shows that a broad range of pay practices and policies exists throughout the church. Generally, dioceses provide only minimum pay guidelines for a parish which then sets a stipend according to its ability and the degree of satisfaction with the incumbent. Actual stipends paid to clergy range from $14,244 to $45,000, the study shows. ... Bishops' stipends range from $22,625 to $50,654, with an average of $32,530, according to the study undertaken by the management consultant firm of Woods Gordon and presented to National Executive Council in November [1988]". "A major objective of the study was to identify and understand the issues which affect compensation policies and practices and determine their impact on bishops, clergy and lay employees of the church". "A document, 'Principles of a Healthy Remuneration System', was approved by General Synod in 1986 to provide a framework upon which compensation standards could be set".

- Prologue
- The Report of the Clergy Marriages Task Force was received and discussed. The policy of the Diocese of Calgary with respect to dysfunction and marital breakdown was found to be helpful in setting out a model of diocesan procedures and guidelines for the caring of clergy families. Some elements of it might be in conflict with human rights codes.
- The bishops were informed that a Personnel Review Task Force has been established to study what services the national office is providing the dioceses since the retirement of the Reverend Richard Johns. A questionnaire is to go to all bishops as well as other networks of the church, and a recommendation will be made to NEC at some time in the future.
- Text
- That this House asks the Primate to set up a Task Force to consider ways of enabling the implementation of the recommendations of the Clergy Marriage Report in the various dioceses across the country and report to a future meeting of the House. CARRIED
