- Notes
- There was a discussion of the Canadian Churchman editorial policy during which concern and support were expressed. Dr. Broadwell responded to remarks from the floor and invited Mr. Hames, editor of the Canadian Churchman, to speak. Mr. Hames described research and article preparation processes and said that length of special feature articles will be given consideration. The impossibility of addressing all issues confronting contemporary society was recognized, and it was agreed that a process of selectivity should be developed.
- It was noted that a Commission to study homosexuality has been established by the Primate, and the hope was expressed that there would be a full and sensitive reporting of this session of the National Executive Council in the Churchman.
