"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.

"People in two dioceses on opposite sides of the globe have taken part in their first joint annual prayer day. The Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt. Rev. James Newcome, and the Bishop of Northern Argentina, the Rt. Rev. Nick Drayson sent reciprocal messages of greeting. The prayer day builds on work that has been ongoing for more than twenty years to build stronger ties between the two diocese. Since 1995 there have been a number of visits to and from Northern Argentina. There's also been prayerful support for a number of projects including a soup kitchen and medical services, refurbishment of a property as a home for Bishop Nick and ways to restore Christian faith within Amerindian families".

Five Church leaders from the Anglican Communion came to Britain, sponsored by the USPG, to share their perspectives on the world church in a special mission program. "The mission team challenged and assisted the `Mother Churches' by sharing experiences, ideas, joy, God's surprises and a vision of God's work. Numerous events took place in the dioceses of Manchester, Lincoln, Salisbury and Worcester." The team consisted of Miss Florence Phiri from Zambia, the Rev. Roger Chung Po Chuen from Mauritius, Miss Sonia Lobert from Guyana, Canon Oswald Swartz from South Africa and the Ven. Dr. S. Batumalai from Malaysia.
