- Text of motion
- That this NEC approve, as a direction to the BAS Evaluation Commission, the following:
- The BAS was produced so we would have a properly authorized book that would provide an alternative expression of worship and stimulate discussion and education.
- The purpose of the Commission is to continue the evaluation of the BAS in order to provide material that will help General Synod make appropriate decisions as to the development of the liturgical practice of ACC. The evaluation should seek comment not only on the content of the book but also on how well it has fulfilled its purpose. The Commission is to consult with dioceses and parishes, including Diocesan Liturgical Commissions in order to evaluate:
- (a) the extent and patterns of the use of the book;
- (b) how useful the book is as an expression of worship; and
- (c) the extent to which the book reflects the variety of theological understandings of the Church.
- The evaluation should avoid being only a product analysis survey. It is important that people and groups be asked, "What do you think is best for the life of the Church" ?; as well as, "What do you prefer" ?
- To fulfill this task, it may be necessary to seek assistance outside the Commission. CARRIED #43-05-91
