- Notes
- The "National Executive Council has asked the church's doctrine and worship committee to develop theological guidelines which can be used by the state, by medical professionals and by families. The guidelines will focus on the use of extraordinary measures to prolong life when those measures may diminish the quality of life. This is not the first time the Anglican church has delved into this area. In 1975 a task force was asked to look at the theological implications of death and dying. Its report was published four years later."
