- Prologue
- The Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan presented the report and highlighted research being done for the development of strategic directions for ecumenical relations; the value of a talking circle method for contentious issues such as cultural diversity and liturgy; and the commitment to continue to engage in Christian-Jewish dialogue.
- Dr. David Gould spoke to the issue of stem cell research.
- Text of motion
- That the Council of General Synod send a letter to the Honorable Anne McLellan and to the chair of the CIHR stating concerns regarding the content of the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) discussion paper, "Human Stem Cell Research: Opportunities for Health and Ethical Perspectives." The letter should note specifically that a more comprehensive analysis of the moral issues and implications of human stem cell research was not conducted, and that the process included only limited public consultation and debate.
