- Prologue
- The Bishop of Toronto remarked that there was need for a Pastoral Letter from the House of Bishops definitely calling on the young men of the Church to give real thought and prayer to the service of Christ in the sacred ministry.
- Text of motion
- That this House requests the Primate to appoint a small committee of the House to collaborate with him in the preparing of a message to the people of the Anglican Church of Canada, informing them of the Church's urgent need of a sufficient supply of candidates for the sacred ministry in every Canadian Diocese, summoning all members to make this need a matter of their deepest concern and unceasing prayer, and calling upon the parish priests and the parents of each congregation to realize the challenge of this need to themselves in particular.
- Further, that this message be sent out in the names of all the Bishops as an evidence of our corporate concern and deep desire for unified action for the welfare of every Diocese of the Church in Canada and overseas, and, finally that this message be given the widest possible publicity and printed in pamphlet form for distribution in the Parishes of all Dioceses. CARRIED
- Notes
