- "It was in February 1949 that a group of clergy and lay people met in St. James Cathedral Parish Hall to discuss the formation of a Diocesan Chancel Guild. Mrs. W. Stanley Smith was the leader of the discussion. During her stay in New York she had learned of and been impressed by the work of the Diocesan Guild of New York. .... At a meeting on February 11th, 1949 ... a Constitution was drawn, and Mrs. Smith was asked to be the first President of the Toronto Diocesan Chancel Guild. In 1967 all church women's work and organizations became part of the newly-formed Anglican Church Women. After much prayer and discussion the Toronto Diocesan Chancel Guild agreed to become part of the A.C.W., as the Chancel Department. The Chancel Department also includes the former Ecclesiastical Embroidery Committee of the W.A.". -- p. 2.
