- The Primate read the following telegram to the House of Bishops from Canon Shafik Farah of Toronto:
- "I pray you take a stand and speak out for peace with justice regarding the Palestinian/Israeli situation and for an end to the ongoing massacres in the occupied territories on the Gaza strip. How many more should die? And for how long should we wait ?"
- Text of motion
- That this House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada deeply regrets the acts of violence in the occupied territories of the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. The Bishops endorse the proposal by the Anglican Consultative Council for an international conference for peace in which all parties affected would be present.
- The Bishops call on the Government of Canada and all peace-loving citizens to promote and support such a proposal." CARRIED
