- Prologue
- 2. TRAINING OF OLDER MEN
- In response to the request of the House of Bishops, copies of a proposed course of preparation for older candidates for the ministry have been distributes to the Bishops. However, after careful consideration, the Committee considers that the Church should discourage the proliferation of schemes and schools for the training of older men, and should seek to integrate such training into the work of the regularly established theological colleges. Some of the reasons for this change of approach are set forth in Appendix (A) to this letter [not included in the electronic database]. The Committee trusts that the Bishops will endorse its views on this subject.
- Text of motion
- "That we give general approval to section 2."
- Notes
- The Bishop of Huron announced that owing to the decline in the requirement of older men for the ministry, Seager Hall which has carried on a program of training older men for several years, will close at the end of the current year of training.
