The following opinion of the Assessors was reported:
"A United Church minister could be a communicant of the Anglican Church of Canada, and, if he regarded himself and was accepted in the diocese as a member of our Church, even if he was also regarded as a member of The United Church, could be elected as a lay member of General Synod. However, if he has been presbyterally and not episcopally ordained, he cannot be a clerical member unless changes are made in the provisions relating to membership in our clergy.
Moved by Graham, Seconded by Downey,
That the National Executive Council authorize that an appropriate footnote be drafted for inclusion in the Handbook. DEFEATED
Text

Anglican Church of Canada : Response to the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches : Re: Faith and Order paper number 111 : Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry
"The gathering of the Anglican response to B.E.M. was undertaken by the Inter-Church and Inter-Faith Relations Committee of General Synod in consultation with the Ministry Committee and the Doctrine and Worship Committee. Following its approval by Inter-Church and Inter-Faith Relations in November, 1985 the National Executive Council agreed to forward this statement to the World Council of Churches as the 'initial response' of the Anglican Church of Canada". -- p. 21.

"[O]ne major and unnoticed consequence of Apostolicae curae, I would argue, has been that the Bull subconsciously so dented Anglican self-esteem that it distorted Anglican ecumenical approaches to other churches. Since 1896 we have over-emphasized the issue of episcopal succession as an unconscious compensation for Apostolicae curae."

"[W]e offer to the world-wide Church a positive and hopeful outlook on The Final Report. The task of bringing together two different but related ecclesial traditions such as those of the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church while respecting their identities is a delicate one. We believe it can be achieved. The theological and human issues raised by The Final Report are complex, but together, in openness to the Lord's gift of koinonia,we can build a unity which fosters rather than stifles diversity. We can because we must: 'Give what you command, and command what you will'. (Augustine, Confessions, 10, 29)" -- Intro., p. 2.
