- That this General Synod adopt the proposed "Mission Statement of the Anglican Church of Canada," as follows:
- We are a partner in the world-wide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, proclaiming and celebrating the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action.
- We value our heritage of biblical faith, reason, liturgy, tradition, bishops and synods, and the rich variety of our life in community.
- We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God's creation and a stronger resolve in challenging attitudes and structures which cause injustice.
- Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to respond to this call in love and service and so more fully live the life of Christ.
- Following discussion, the mover and seconder agreed to accept several revisions to the Mission Statement.
- The amended Mission Statement now reads:
- As a partner in the worldwide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, we proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action.
- We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God's creation and a stronger resolve in challenging attitudes and structures that cause injustice.
- Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to respond to this call in love and service and so more fully live the life of Christ. CARRIED Act 71
