- Text
- That the NEC or it successor establish a Mission Audit Team which, in cooperation with the Implementation Team for "Preparing the Way", would examine the current Mission Statement and activity of each committee, council and board of the General Synod to:
- - ensure relevancy to the vision of General Synod which gave reason for its existence;
- - decipher the degree of inter-unit cooperation and sharing so that common goals are indentified and supported;
- - explore the method of operation of the unit so that the means and end result are in accord with the current mission and direction of the General Synod;
- - report to the NEC with appropriate recommendations on the adequacy of resourcing for the task which the unit has been called to do, and the methods which may be developed to seek additional funds beyond budget allotments, so that conflict may be avoided where possible;
- - make such other comments and recommendations touching the ministry activity of the committees, councils and boards of the General Synod as it deems necessary and appropriate. CARRIED #48-03-95

- COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
- MISSION COORDINATION GROUP
- Membership
- One representative (the Chair or designate) from:
- - Partners in Mission Committee
- - Social Justice Committee
- - PWRDF Committee
- - Information Resources Committee
- - Financial Management and Development Committee
- - Faith, Worship, and Ministry Committee
- - Council for Native Ministries
- - Council of the North
- Two members of Council of General Synod who will co-chair the group
- Functions
- Promote effective mission
- Provide a forum for collaboration and coordination on:
- - education programs in the dioceses and parishes
- - networking across the country
- - fundraising
- - advocacy
- - other areas of common interest
- Support and assist the participating groups in developing priorities, strategies, and budgets
- Consult and devise a common approach, including funding, with regard to the ecumenical coalitions
- Report to the Council of General Synod on any unresolved issues
- Rationale - This is developed as a result of the learning that there is an increased need for collaboration among the various committees of General Synod, particularly as they relate to parishes and dioceses. Building on the experience of the NEC's Coordinating Committee, it moves beyond information-sharing to strategic collaboration.
- Comments - This group is designed to support and facilitate collaboration, not to enforce collaboration.

- Prologue
- Ms. Cynthia Haines Turner and Dean Nicholas Parker presented the report of the Mission Coordination Group noting that `The New Agape' and anti-racism had been added to its mandate for the triennium.
- Dr. Ellie Johnson and Ms. Donna Bomberry outlined the Binder Project. The concept is to collect materials, translate (if necessary) and assemble it into binders, which would be made available to dioceses and to those within networks to ensure as wide a distribution as possible. In loose-leaf form, the material could be easily updated on an ongoing basis and would be readily accessible to the many indigenous communities that do not have access to email and databases.
