- Text of motion
- That this General Synod:
- 1) note the importance of our ongoing dialogue with our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters;
- 2) thank the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) for its work in the preparation of "The Gift of Authority";
- 3) recognize that "The Gift of Authority" has not found sufficient resonance among Canadian Anglicans for this Synod to be able to say that it has received it;
- 4) draw attention to the "Response to `The Gift of Authority'" (FWM Report #006, pp. 42-58 Document 8) of the Anglican Roman Catholic Dialogue of Canada, in particular to its observation that more work should be done by ARCIC in exploring the practical working out of primacy and synodality as they express themselves at the local and diocesan levels; and its observations about the place of the laity in decision-making;
- 5) welcome the initiative of the International Anglican Roman Catholic Commission on Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) to prepare a Joint Declaration summarizing the Anglican Roman Catholic agreements achieved to date. CARRIED Act 84
