- Prologue
- The General Secretary read the following letter received from Mr. W. John Dunlop, Network Supervisor, Religious Programs of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:
- "I am writing to ask if the Anglican Church of Canada would be interested in the televising of a 90-minute 'Teach-in' on the Principles of Union between the Anglican Church of Canada and the United Church of Canada.
- The CBC would be prepared to assume all the costs of bringing together a panel of persons to explain the Principles of Union and sketch future developments as they see them.
- The proposed date of the 'Teach-in' is October or November. In return for the production of the 'Teach-in,' the CBC would expect that the churches concerned would organize groups to meet in many communities. These groups would watch the program and go on to their own discussion sessions.
- The CBC has already scheduled a 'Teach-in' for May on the Vatican Council. We have been given to understand that programs of this nature help communities to plan ecumenical meetings, so that concerned Christian folk meet to know the problems and opportunities of their neighbours.
- Could I have some expression of interest and willingness to work towards the production of such a 'Teach-in'?"
- Text of motion
- That we warmly approve of this 'teach-in.' CARRIED
