DIOCESAN AID TO MISSIONS
Plan Adopted By Synod
In conjunction with its approval of the Mutual Responsibility and Inter-dependence Document, the Christchchurch Diocesan Synod last night undertook a five-year programme of international mission efforts. Seven projects with a minimum commitments for the diocese of £16,900 were included in the programme. The document was the work of the Anglican Toronto Congress of last year. It proposes to broaden the outlook of the parishioner with regard to religious responsibilities from parish boundaries to the entire world. The projects which were adopted by the synod were. £2OOO for a youth and literature centre in Karachi, West Pakistan; £2400 for Bishop Wiggins’s new parish fund, Diocese of Victoria Nyanza; £4OOO for chapel for St. John's College, Suva, Diocese of Polynesia; £4OO for bookshop at Honiara, Diocese of Melanesia; £3600 for St Peter’s College, Siota, Diocese of Melanesia; £2500 for Diocese of Jesselton, North Borneo; and £2OO for Diocese of Hong Kong.
