- "In May of 1970, the Program Committee of General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada established a Task Force to undertake a study of the Ethnic Groups in Canada, and the opportunities for the Church to minister to them. In a series of meetings, statistics were gathered and analysed, a picture gradually emerged of the present situation, and some strategies were identified as ways for the Church to carry out its work more effectively in this area. This report is a result of the work of the Task Force. .... The Task Force produced ten recommendations for the Church to consider in relation to future work in this area. These are included in this report for consideration by appropriate committees and persons in both diocese and parish". -- Intro., p. 4.
