"The background of this book is the turbulent world of the 1960s, and the ecumenical revolution within the Christian churches. Amid so much change, what is the role of the Anglican Communion ? To put it better: what use has God for Anglicans. The author frankly examines the source of authority for Anglicans, the administration of the mission in principle and practice, and the prayer and conversation that unite this curious family of 40 millions. .... This book ... is being published simultaneously by Morehouse-Barlow, New York, in connection with the international Anglican Congress in Toronto, August 1963. But it is a book which will keep its value until the next Lambeth Conference, to which it looks forward". -- back cover.

OTCH Note. The author makes particular mention of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Foreword, saying: "My indebtedness to others will be obvious and my inability to make acknowledgements manifest. But one act of recognition must be recorded. It is to the Missionary Society of the Anglican Church in Canada. It was the deep privilege of an invitation to lecture to a seminar in London, Ontario, which proved the final stimulus to put down on paper thoughts which for years had clamoured inside me for expression but which, aware of a sense of my own incompetence, I had so often decided to leave to others more capable (p. 12)".

"In May 2007, in Singapore, TEAC (the Working Party on Theological Education established by the Anglican Primates) held a meeting which focused in particular on the Anglican Way in theological education. As a result of this meeting the statement 'The Anglican Way: Signposts on a Common Journey' was agreed and published. The statement is being used at the 2008 Lambeth Conference as a resource for the discussion of Anglican identity. The statement can be found (in several languages) on the theological education section of the Anglican Communion website at www.anglicancommunion.org/ministry/theological/signposts
It was also agreed that TEAC would seek to produce a series of short booklets which would offer accessible theological educational resources to enable members of the Anglican Communion -- laity and clergy -- to explore the statement or particular aspects of it in more detail. The series will be known as the 'Signposts series'. Our aim is to enable as wide a variety as possible of Anglican Christians to follow the 'Signposts' and discover more for themselves about our Anglican Way of faith. The intention is to publish these booklets electronically, in CD and web formats -- though if possible a number of paper copies will also be available. This is the first in that series of booklets. It offers a general introduction to the statement, and includes within it the complete text of the statement set out in five sections (printed in boxes in the text)." -- [Preface].

"The Mission and Evangelism Advisory Team (MEAT) was constituted to give support to the work of the Anglican Communion's Mission and Evangelism Office as the latter engaged in the preparations for the [2008] Lambeth Conference. One of the contributions to this year's Lambeth Conference from the Mission and Evangelism Office is a profile of the mission and evangelism issues around the Communion. Alongside this MEAT commissioned Bishop Michael Doe to write about how Anglicans understand Mission and Evangelism. The present booklet ... is therefore linked to MEAT's desire to explore the various understandings of mission and evangelism in the Anglican Communion, that motivate Anglicans to be a mission focussed Communion. If you want to find out more about the work of the Mission and Evangelism Office contact: Revd John K. Kafwanka: Research/Project Office, Stuart Buchanan: Research and Administrative Assistant". -- [Intro.], p. 1.
"Mission is of its very essence ecumenical in both method and goals, so it is not easy, and nor may it be desirable, to isolate let alone elevate very specific Anglican elements. However, from within our history and out of what is emerging from that today, the Anglican tradition does have some distinctive emphases and in this paper I have drawn out twelve". -- p. 1.

That, whereas the Executive Council and Board of Management of M.S.C.C. in Joint Session at Ottawa in 1961 has taken the following action:
"Without jeopardizing the present overseas commitments of The Anglican Church of Canada in the following Provinces and Dioceses of the Anglican Communion:
The Church of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon
The Holy Catholic Church in Japan
The Archbishopric in Jerusalem
The Church of Uganda Ruanda [sic i.e. Rwanda] Urundi
The Church of the Province of the West Indies
The Diocese of Hong Kong
The Diocese of Accra
The Diocese of Malaya and Singapore, and
The Diocese of Madras in the Church of South India.
It is recommended that the Executive Committee of the Department of Missions of The Anglican Church of Canada be empowered to receive and consider, within the limitations of its Annual Budget appropriations, such appeals for personnel and funds for work in the Anglican Communion as are directed to the Department of Missions of The Anglican Church of Canada by the Advisory Council on Missionary Strategy of the Anglican Communion."
It is therefore recommended that as funds become available in the next triennium, the Department of Missions give priority in its overseas commitments to accepting increased appeals from the Church of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon; The Church of Uganda Ruanda Urandi, and the Church of the Province of the West Indies for the following purposes:
(i) To provide assistance in the training and support of national clergy and lay workers.
(ii) To recruit and train overseas personnel in response to requests from overseas Diocesan Bishops.
(iii) To provide financial assistance for capital needs in the areas of church extension and theological education. CARRIED in both Houses.

"I commend for your serious consideration 'Background for Action', the first in a series of paperback Resource Books which are being published for the Mutual Responsibility Commission. ... 'Background for Action' is evidence of how far we have gone together since Toronto. Narrowly considered, MRI was at first just a document, subject to the usual frailties of language. It has become, however, the basis for an exciting call for renewal which rings through the Church. To my personal knowledge, MRI has led -- in many places -- to a radical re-evaluation of mission, to a significant search for new ways to give and receive, and to a critical self-analysis of the nature of witness within the gracious discipline of the Gospel". -- Foreword.

"This book is the fruit of nine months of trying to interpret 'Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence in the Body of Christ' to and for the Church of England. During this time I have spoken at meetings of every sort in all parts of the country, and many of the points raised in discussion have been incorporated into the pages which follow". -- Preface.
"Mr. Barry Till in this book shows how the great Anglican Toronto Congress [of 1963] can break out of this inhibiting fate of being a Congress, `et praeterea nihil'; how, by fully applying Mutual Responsibility and Interdependence, we and all the Anglican Communion can, by the Grace of God, achieve a break-through to the large world; how we can enter into more fruitful relations with one another; how the splendid work of our missionary societies can be helped and renewed and become a concern of all instead of a very few; and how we can grow in fellowship with other churches until the larger day of unity for which we pray." -- Foreword.
