- "The Lambeth Conference of 1978 requested all members of the Anglican Communion to consider their position on the Christian relationship with people of other faiths. .... In 1983 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada requested its Inter-Church and Inter-Faith Relations Committee `to present to the 1986 General Synod a paper on a Christian theological basis for an Anglican response to other faiths'. The following statement and guidelines have been drafted to serve as a common basis for our thinking on this topic". -- p. 1.
- "These guidelines are offered to Canadian Anglicans as they seek to reach out to their neighbours of other faiths. Our approach has two separate, but inter-related, aspects: dialogue, which includes growing in our knowledge of each other and a mutual sharing of spiritual insights; and common action which would involve joint efforts to deal with issues related to life together in society, but might also include activities of a devotional nature". -- p. 14.
