- Notes
- "The Council of General Synod (CoGS) has endorsed 'in principle' the newly-created department of philanthropy's plan to help the Anglican Church of Canada achieve 'financial equilibrium' through fundraising efforts that will emphasize giving as 'a faithful expression of Christian vocation'. CoGS also approved the establishment of a philanthropy committee that will provide 'leadership and support' to General Synod's philanthropy work." "The plan has four goals: [1] to enhance the level of co-ordination and co-operation among various fundraising initiatives within and beyond General Synod; [2] to establish a more 'professionalized and productive' fundraising operation for the ministry of General Synod and incorporated partners (Anglican Foundation, Anglican Journal, Primate's World Relief and Development Fund), dioceses and parishes; [3] to establish a permanent investment fund 'that will provide sustainable financial stability for the ministry of General Synod into the indefinite future'; [4] to launch 'the most ambitious fundraising initiative in the church's history designed to reach a new level of support for the ministry of General Synod', its partners, dioceses and parishes of the Anglican Church of Canada."
