- "Editor's note: The following document was produced by Terry Thompson, General Synod Archivist and the Rev. Glen Kent, chair of the Archives committee to explain the impact of cost cutting in the national church. Given the long-standing partnership between the General Synod Archives and the Canadian Church Historical Society (founded 1949) in publishing this journal since 1950 we thought the membership would appreciate this news, released 16 June 1994" (p. 111).
- "As you are all aware at its May [1994] meeting the National Executive Committee mandated severe budget cuts for the General Synod Apportionment and Assessment Budgets. The results of this action for the General Synod archives budget are as follows: a) the 1994 budget will be reduced to $200,000 from the previously authorized $225,500; b) the 1995 budget will be $170,000; c) the 1996 budget will be $169,000. The result of this action is the elimination of two positions, the half-time program assistant, Graeme Burk and the archives technician, Laurel Parson" (p. 111). "Immediately there will be changes in the way in which the archives offers records management services to staff. The total downsizing of Church House Staff is not yet known but includes at least 15 positions and extensive realignment of work in all programs and administrative areas. We will be working hard to ensure an orderly transfer of records of the General Synod to the archives in the next few months but recognize that back-logs in processing must increase dramatically" (p. 112).
