- Notes
- A consultation of 20 Aboriginal Anglican leaders met in Winnipeg, Man., from 23-26 April 1994. "The group, which included members of the church's Council for Native Ministries and Aboriginal members of other national committees, presented a statement to the church's national executive council in May [1994]. The statement invites the Anglican Church 'to covenant with us, the indigenous Anglicans of Canada, in our vision of a new and enriched journey'. 'We were elated by how clearly we all felt led to this unanimous vision', said Donna Bomberry, chair of the Council for Native Ministries. .... 'We feel like new missionaries', said the Rev. Arthur Anderson, an Aboriginal member of the national executive council. 'We are bringing a proposal to our church for a new spiritual relationship between ourselves and non-native Anglicans'". "Aboriginal people are estimated to make up about 4 percent of Canadian Anglicans. There are approximately 210 Aboriginal congregations, 70 Aboriginal clergy, and two suffragan bishops".
- The text of "A New Covenant": "We representatives of the indigenous people of the Anglican Church of Canada, meeting in Winnipeg from the 23 to 26 April, 1994, pledge ourselves to this covenant for the sake of our people and in trust of our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ: Under the guidance of God's spirit we agree to do all we can to call our people into unity in a new, self-determining community with the Anglican Church of Canada. To this end, we extend the hand of partnership to all those who will help us build a truly Anglican Indigenous Church of Canada. May God bless this new vision and give us grace to accomplish it. Amen".

- Notes
- "The Australian Board of Mission is continuing strong work with the Church of the Province of Myanmar in a Health Education and Prevention of Disease Program for the last ten years. The Program has been focused in border areas and works with the ethnic minority groups (Karen, Karenni, Chin and Kachin) who represents the most disadvantaged section of Myanmar society. As the impact of HIV/AIDS has grown the focus of this program has shifted to include greater emphasis on awareness. There are two main strands to this program -- prevention through the raising of awareness and care for those who are terminally ill. This project will focus on raising awareness of HIV/AIDS issues in Toungoo diocese. It will target remote communities, which include over 12,000 people and cover a wide area of Karen State, and will enable two health workers to conduct awareness sessions on HIV/AIDS issues by travelling from village to village throughout the diocese".
