- Text of motion
- That this General Synod learns with satisfaction of the inauguration during the year 1970 of the Church of North India and the Church of Pakistan, as the result of unions of the Anglican Churches in North India and Pakistan with other churches, and the establishment by those united churches of full communion with each other.
- And notes with satisfaction that the Bishops of the Anglican Communion, by resolution No. 49 made at the Lambeth Conference of 1968, recommended that Churches and Provinces of the Anglican Communion should enter into full communion with the Churches of North India and Pakistan upon their inauguration and should foster the relations of fellowship which this involves.
- And therefore expresses its desire that full communion between the Anglican Church of Canada and the Churches of North India and Pakistan be established at the earliest possible time.
- And further asks the House of Bishops, in consultation with the National Executive Council and the Interchurch Relations Committee, to re-examine promptly the relations between the Anglican Church of Canada and the Churches of North India and Pakistan with a view to entry into full communion with those Churches at this time, and encourages the House of Bishops and National Executive Council to establish full communion with those Churches without delay.
