Halifax, Nova Scotia - Officials of the Department of Public Welfare have expressed thanks to the Anglican Church of Canada for its cooperation in a recent campaign to increase adoptions throughout the province.
There were 46 inquiries from married couples to the provincial coordinator for adoption services following the month-long campaign, according to a statement received by the church's social service department.
It is the first example of co-operation between the Anglican Church and provincial authorities in the adoption field. Church organized officials say they hope such a campaign might also be organized in other provinces.
Anglican clergy were asked by Rt. Rev. W.W. Davis, Bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia, to preach on adoption, or conduct a discussion in their churches and to circulate an adoption brochure produced by several denominations.
At present, 21 of the couples that made inquiries have completed or are in the process of completing their adoption.

"The official and personal papers assembled by Bishop Bayne in this volume provide essential records of a crucial and exciting development in the history and contemporary mission of the Anglican Communion throughout the world. Chosen to be the first churchman for the unprecedented position of Executive Officer of the Anglican Communion, Bishop Bayne gives in these chapters an illuminating account of the background of his office, the ways and means whereby he has built its service and work into the structure and life of the eighteen Anglican Churches of every continent and island. With creative imagination and insight, he points out directions for the future of these Churches -- their closer fellowship and interdependence, their missionary opportunities, and their larger involvement in the renewal and reunion of all Christendom". -- front dust jacket blurb.
