- Having in mind the progress made, though slowly, during recent years in Governmental policy regarding the appointment of Chaplains to Penal Institutions and Mental Hospitals, and the Council's interest therein, General Synod requests the Council for Social Service to set up a Committee from members of this Synod and the Council, with power to co-opt specially interested persons to study the whole matter of chaplaincy services in such institutions and to impress governments with the necessity for such a programme.
