- "The shared ministry project was initiated by Anglican and United Church staff persons with endorsation of the Anglican Primate and the United Church General Council Executive. I was given responsibility for research involving visiting as many shared ministries as possible between September and December, 1976, with a view to exploring their histories and functions, determining why they exist, and analyzing problems. It was a fact finding rather than a promotional venture and was in no sense an investigation. .... Concern was to make an orderly survey of shared ministries, joint ministries, blended programmes, and shared buildings in order that our two Churches might have a more complete picture of all co-operative parochial ventures. In spite of occasional difficulties, fifty thousand items of factual data were gathered from fifty-three communities through interviews and more than six hundred information seeking forms completed by clergy and lay persons. .... For information of readers, I am a United Church clergyman, responsible presently for national Personnel Services, Division of Ministry Personnel and Education". -- Preface.
