- Prologue
- Resolved, That the Upper House concurring, this General Synod of the Church of England in Canada heartily concurs in the principle enunciated by the Lambeth Conference of 1930, that "war as a method of settling international disputes is incompatible with the teaching and example of our Lord Jesus Christ."
- The Synod calls upon the Church, through the leadership of its Clergy and the personal influence of all its members, to help in the creation of a public opinion which will organize peace, and effectually outlaw war, as being contrary to the mind of Christ and, especially under modern conditions, inhuman and devilish. It commends to the prayers and active support of all men of goodwill the League of Nations as being, in spite of its limitations, the best human instrument for preserving international peace as an ideal and a goal, and for fostering that mutual understanding and co-operative spirit among the nations, which are the primary safeguards of peace.
- The Synod deplores the increase of armaments among the different nations, in violation of the solemn declaration regarding general reduction contained in the Peace Treaty. It declares the traffic in munitions of war to be a moral offence of the first magnitude; and it appeals for the hastening, by every possible means, of complete and universal disarmament. Message JJ.

- "Edited by Dr. Percy Dearmer, Canon of Westminster".
- "The issue, indeed, is simple. The motives and methods of human life are not sufficiently moralised: it was to moralise the machinery of production, to limit the power of selfishness, that Wilberforce and Shaftesbury were working a century ago; and the whole world now enjoys what Christians then won: but in many ways industry and business, and family life, and civic and political activity, need further moralisation. Money -- the necessary use of tokens of exchange -- has been overlooked in its moral aspect (in spite of what Christ said about it) .... And, alas, there was one aspect of human life which was not understood a hundred years ago; and to this our present miseries are mainly due. The very word 'international' had then only just been coined by Jeremy Bentham. The whole conception of moralising international relations was in its infancy. So the world went on to its doom. So, because the nations and their representatives have not yet learnt the elements of international behaviour, we stand at this moment of writing on the brink of irretrievable disaster. It is in a very real sense true that only Christ can save the world from ruin to-day. Are we prepared to let his spirit save the nations from themselves ?" -- Preface, p. 10-11.

- "This Bulletin is issued with the purpose of discriminating information with regard to the character, aims, and methods of work of the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the churches. Rather more than a year ago the Bishop of Oxford [Hubert Murray Burge] as President of the British Council of the Alliance wrote to the leaders of the Christian Churches in Canada, asking that representatives be appointed by the churches, who should form the basis of a Canadian Council of the World Alliance. The matter was referred by our own General Synod, meeting at London, Ont., in September 1924, to the Executive Council. In view of the impending decision, it is important that the Church should know the facts. The following statement is drawn from the writings of two prominent members of the British Council of the Alliance -- the Bishop of Oxford [Hubert Murray Burge] and the Bishop of Salisbury [St. Clair G.A. Donaldson]. The Bishop of Oxford's pamphlet is named 'Christians and the Peace of the World'; and that of the Bishop of Salisbury, 'What we stand for'. The former is reprinted from the Contemporary Review of July 1923; the latter is published by the British Council of the Alliance". -- p. 3.
