- Prologue
- Archdeacon Crawford, on behalf of the Anglican Book Centre, presented a cheque to the Primate for the National Executive Council in the amount of $25,000.
- Text of motion
- That the National Executive Council concur with the Policy Guidelines for the Anglican Book Centre, which read:
- In order to provide a service to and perform a ministry for the whole Church, the Anglican Book Centre will be operated under the following policy guidelines:
- 1. The Anglican Book Centre, with the exception of the Service Section, will be operated at a profit.
- The Service Section will bear its appropriate share of overhead costs and will, as far as possible, be operated on a "break even" basis.
- 2. All publications (except Canadian Churchman and The Living Message) produced for sale by the national office will be marketed by the Anglican Book Centre, and the Anglican Book Centre will set their selling prices.
- 3. The compensation policy of the national office, approved by the Administration and Finance Committee, will generally apply to the staff of the Anglican Book Centre.
- At the request of the Anglican Book Centre Committee, exemptions from or modifications in the compensation policy as it applies to the staff of the Anglican Book Centre may be granted or approved by the Administration and Finance Committee.
- 4. The Anglican Book Centre Committee, with the concurrence of the Administration and Finance Committee and the National Executive Council, will provide capital and other funds for its operation out of accumulated earnings or from bank borrowings, as required.
- 5. Any excess earnings designated by the Anglican Book Centre Committee will be transferred to a reserve fund in the General Synod for disbursement under the authority of the National Executive Council.
- 6. Changes in these policy guidelines, recommended by the Anglican Book Centre Committee, will become operative when approved by the National Executive Council. CARRIED
- Notes
- Bishop Nock requested that the Anglican Book Centre give consideration of [i.e. to] the publishing of a Canadian Lenten Book, as he feels it would be useful.
