X The Principle Whereas: A. It is good that a wide cross section of parishioners be encouraged to fulfil positions of responsibility within the church. B. The Church is wanting to involve younger members, but experience has shown that older members are frequently re-elected, or a parish council is re-elected en bloc. The Proposal That a limit be placed on the consecutive periods of service permitted to Parish Councillors and Churchwardens. The Measure Be it enacted that: 1. At the end of Canon 28, section 2, the following words be added: "A Parish Councillor shall not serve in office for more than three consecutive years, but may serve in office for more than one period of three consecutive years or less." 2. At the end of Canon 29, section 2, the following words be added: "A Churchwarden (including an alternate Churchwarden) shall not serve in office for more than three consecutive years, but may serve in office for more than one period of three consecutive years or less. " XAA&isCMJj, . Ai/yLuo&M*-e M o 3 c The Principle Whereas: There are known instances of Churchwardens not being aware of, or fulfilling, their responsibilities as "officers of the Bishop" as laid down in Canon 29, section 7. /fH£ McfioSAt- The Proposal That Canon 30 be amended as set out in the Measure below. The Measure Be it enacted that: in Canon 30, section 5, the following words be inserted in the declaration between "I declare that" and "I will faithfully..... " namely, .... in reverent obedience to my Bishop and in accordance with the Constitution and Canons of the CPSA,.... " ______-J] j^*-es&*-6cc ^oo^f-o-et/: The Principle Whereas: Provision needs to be made for a Bishop to revoke the appointment of an Archdeacon when circumstances require it. The Proposal That Canon 15, be amended in the respects set forth in the measure printed below. The Measure Be it enacted that: Canon 15, section 2, be amended: 1. by inserting a new paragraph (b) as follows, the existing paragraph (b) being re-numbered (c): "The Bishop may revoke the appointment of an Archdeacon after consultation with and the agreement by majority vote of the Dean (if appointed) and the other Archdeacons of the Diocese.“ 2. by amending the old paragraph (b) [now to be re-numbered (c)] by deleting all words after "as a new appointment"; and 3. by inserting a new paragraph (d) as follows: "No Archdeacon shall have his appointment revoked or be required to resign until the Bishop is satisfied that adequate provision is made for his maintenance. Should any dispute arise as to the adequacy of such provision, the matter shall be referred to and decided by the Metropolitan." / $ e c o n O e £ > ■e. sdjst^o-ot UM /. sU/jtXbc*ctsLe. ^Q siJX* *//. . J&*uoaLjtf ■ •______The Principles Whereas: A. The cost of Provincial Synods has risen to a point where Provincial Standing Committee in 1988 resolved that the membership of such Synods be reduced in order to effect savings. B. Increasing numbers of clergy (e.g. self-supporting clergy and the inclusion of deacons) have, on the application of the present formula for representation of Dioceses at Synod, increased these costs, and have distorted representation where there are large numbers of clergy relative to the number of parishes. C. A more appropriate principle on which to base representation is the number of Pastoral Charges in a Diocese, as these reflect the workings of a diocese and to that extent are a fairer indicator of representation of clergy and laity. D. Dioceses with more than 100 pastoral charges have in practice proved to be ripe for multiplication into two or more dioceses. The Proposal That diocesan membership of Provincial Synod be reduced in the houses of clergy and laity, and the principle upon which representation is based be changed. The Measure Be it enacted that:- In Canon 1, section 2, the words from and including: "according to the following scale .... " in the fourth line, to the end of the section be deleted, and the following substituted therefor: "...... , according to the number of Pastoral Charges in each Diocese, as last compiled by its own Synod in terms of Canon 23 prior to the Provincial Synod in question, on the following scale: ' N ( J w Q £ a Number of Pastoral Clerical Lay Charges Representatives Representatives 1 to 20 1 1 21 to 40 2 2 41 to 60 3 3 61 to 80 4 4 81 to 100 5 5 101 & over 6 6 sCt^o y s b u v , r AC»^Zey-o .-cO-es*. ^ O S / / & * — ■*i-e*iyoA*Ajtd. / * * / 3 o 6ft DU M ss J & GL^&J th.

The need has been felt to provide for some latitude and flexibility in the appointment of the President of Provincial Synod ("Synod") and ^ n Cpl?airman of Provincial Standing Committee ( PSC ), in order not to place an unnecessary burden on the Metropolitan, and to provide an opportunity for the talents of others to be exercised in this role. B. The fundamental role of the Metropolitan in relation to the proceedings of Synod and PSC, needs to be retained, so that substitute Presidents and Chairmen will be acting in terms of authority delegated to them from the Metropolitan. C. PSC in 1988 resolved to put such a measure to Synod for consideration. The Proposal That a provision be incorporated in Canons 1, section 4, and 43, section 4, and Standing Rule 3 (xi), to allow the etropolitan to delegate his Presidency of Synod and Chairmanship of PSC from time to time. The Measure Be it enacted that: Canon 1, section 4, be amended by the addition of the following provisions - the Presideni-dm ririH Proceedings of Provincial Synod, “ , esident maY delegate his office to a Bishop on such not beXfSr periodJ f® deemS fit> SU°h delegation may P?ovinr^ Peri°ds of longer than one day, unless Provincial Synod consents otherwise, but may be repeated." following pro^Lns ^ by thS addition °f the Metropolitan dUring the proceedings of the Committee, the b Js Jo p oi Si?hYthS Chairman delegate his office to k or' W1jh the consent of the Committee, to any other member on such conditions or none as he deems fit Such unlelftSe C o L T r ^ f°r periods °f lon^ thffone SaJ, repeated^ CoimTllttee consents otherwise, but may be be^eletS^nd ftandinp Rules of the Provincial Synod t>e deleted and substituted by the following: * aon^nt^H11^ Shau1 mean the Metropolitan or the Bishop appointed as such President in terms of Canon 1.4." f a >tu> The Principle Whereas: A. Provincial Standing Committee ("PSC") meetings may reflect inadequately the composition of the Province as a whole, and PSC 1988 resolved to ask Provincial Synod to consider increasing the membership of PSC in an endeavour to correct this. B. It remains necessary to have the clerical and lay representatives elected by each diocese, and to be mindful of the functions of PSC and its cost. The Proposal That the membership of PSC be increased by enabling the Metropolitan to nominate additional members up to the maximum prescribed by PSC from time to time. The Measure Be it enacted that a new paragraph numbered (c) be inserted in Canon 43, section 1, (and the existing one be numbered (d) with consequential renumbering and changes of headings), to read as follows: The Metropolitan may nominate additional representatives to the Committee, to provide for the representation of such interests or groups as in his opinion may not otherwise be represented, either adequately or at all. The maximum number of such representatives shall be determined by the Committee from time to time. In the absence of a determination, the number shall be 10. The Committee may also commend interests or groups to the Metropolitan which it considers need representation, but the Metropolitan may add others for this purpose, should he deem it necessary. These nominated representatives shall have all the rights and privileges of elected representatives, save only that they shall have the right to speak but not to vote." n .

The Principle Whereas: the primary task of PSC is to further the work of the Province between Provincial Synods, and it is therefore sensible for the working of the electoral requirements for both bodies to be similar. The Proposal That the wording referring to clerical and lay representation in Canon 43 be brought into conformity with that of Canon 1 in respect of Provincial Synods. The Measure Be it enacted that: the words "... one priest and one layman..." in line three be deleted and replaced by the words "...one clerical and one lay representative...". slC. yfct&sC&L&x fid*-* rrtsc >Cutst-cf jfb ^£cL*U&t4sO <£o t ot 5 3 If -c/J st^CL^Ojt The Principle Whereas The ministry of Bishops Suffragan needs to be extended to permit: (a) The collation, institution and licensing of clergy and licensing of lay ministers, and (b) the exercise of the Bishop's authorities, rights and powers under Canon 34, under delegation from their Diocesan Bishops. The Proposal That permission be given to the Bishop of the Diocese to delegate the aforegoing to a Bishop Suffragan in his Diocese. The Measure Be it enacted that: 1. In Canon 20, section 1, the following sentence be added - "The Bishop may delegate his authority to grant, revoke or renew a licence (or any one or more of these acts) to a Bishop Suffragan in his Diocese, which delegation he may withdraw at any time." 2. In Canon 25, the following section, to be numbered 12, be / a d d e d : ------—------r ______/ , O "12. A Diocesan Bishop may delegate all or any of the authorities, rights and powers, and assign any of the obligations, he has in terms of this Canon to a Bishop Suffragan in his Diocese, which delegation or assignment or both he may withdraw at any time." 3. In Canon 34, the following section, to be numbered 15, be added:- "15. A Diocesan Bishop may delegate all or any of the authorities, rights and powers, and assign any of the obligations, he has in terms of this Canon to a Bishop Suffragan in his Diocese, which delegation or assignment or both he may withdraw at any time." r 4 - 8 u The Rt Rev The Bishop for the Order of Ethiopia M o v e y y ;. MEASURE TO AMEND CANON 48 The Principles Whereas: A. Canon 48 of The Order of Ethiopia limits the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Order in that: (i) Clergy of the Order take the Oath of Canonical Obedience to the Bishop of the Diocese and have to be licensed by him, and (ii) The Bishop of the Order is licensed by the Bishops of the Dioceses in which the Order is working, so that his position appears to be that of a Bishop Suffragan to many Diocesan Bishops; B. (i) it is desirable that the Bishop of the Order should possess a jurisdiction no less than that of a Diocesan Bishop, and (ii) that the Conference of the Order should be given the status of a Diocesan Synod; C. it is desirable that the relationship between the Order of Ethiopia and the rest of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa be more clearly defined; D. certain provisions of Canon 48 are now redundant, obsolete or obscure: The Proposal That Canon 48 be amended in the manner set forth in the Measure below. The Measure Be it hereby enacted that Canon 48 be amended in the following ways: Section 1 (a) and elsewhere, wherever it appears, delete 'for' and substitute 'of', so that the phrase reads "Bishop of the Order".

(b) whole section after 'determined' and substitute 'jointly by the Diocesan Bishop and the Bishop of the Order.' Section 20 delete whole section and substitute 'All Church buildings of the Order shall be open to all people without distinction of race, colour, or sex.

Clergy are placed in parishes by Bishops in accordance with the needs of ministry. NOTICE OF QUESTION# <2 .

Thelejane should enter the debate on Aaendum Item 5. 3 2 NOTICE OF QUESTION Sid Luckett, Cape Town Noting that there are at least 10 motions before Synod each requestiong a commission - The question is : how are commissions budgeted for? ANSWER: With great difficulty! - by incorporation in the CPF budget as a provision for a cost which is almost impossible to establish accurately in advance. NOTE: QUESTIONS AFFECTING THE BUDGET. How many on a Commission? Who are they? How many times will they meet? Where will they meet? What travel is involved? What resource costs are to be incurred? The provision made, at the time of the request for the Commission, has to be an estimate by the Finance Committee. Any subsequent shortfalls or surpluses are carried forward to the next year's budget. Note that PSC has the right to apply surpluses on some budget items to set off deficits on others.

No amendment to the Constitution shall be considered by Provincial Synod unless it proceeds from a Provincial or Diocesan Synod, Board or Committee. B. In terms of Rule 30 (a)(i) of the Standing Rules of Provincial Synod, no motion shall be received unless it proceeds from the House of Bishops, a Diocesan or Provincial Body or that it has been considered by some Diocesan or Provincial Body or that it is accompanied by a declaration signed by three Diocesan representatives to Provincial Synod. C. These Rules have been drafted to ensure that Provincial Synod deals with broad and representative issues within the life of the Church and to prevent individual or non representative concerns becoming part of its agenda. D. These Rules do not, however, apply to amendments and alterations to Canons which may be proposed by individual representatives to Provincial Synod without the reguirement that the proposed measure proceed from any Provincial or Diocesan body or be accompanied by a declaration signed by three or more Diocesan representatives. E. The Advisory Committee to Provincial Synod agreed that Canon 49 be amended to correct the anomaly. The Proposal That Canon 49 be amended so as to ensure that measures to amend the Canons will only be considered if they proceed from a Provincial or Diocesan Synod or Board, as in the section governing amendments to the Constitution or are accompanied by a declaration signed by a Diocesan Bishop or no less than three representatives to Provincial Synod." The Measure Be it enacted that: Canon 49 be amended by the inclusion of a new section 3 as follows: "3. No formal notice for the alteration, amendment or repeal of any Canon shall be received unless it proceeds out of a resolution of the House of Bishops, Provincial Synod, the Provincial Standing Committee, a Committee or Commission of Provincial Synod or a Diocesan Synod, Council, Board, Committee or Commission, or is accompanied by a declaration signed by a Diocesan Bishop or three Diocesan representatives to Provincial Synod." And that the following sections be renumbered consequentially. / MEASURE TO DELETE CANON 47 The Principle Whereas: A. A Provincial Lay Workers Pension Fund was established on 1 January 1987 as a fund administered by an insurance company subject to rules registered by that company with the Registrar of Pension Funds.

The Pensions Board, with the approval of Provincial Standing Committee, and in accordance with the recommendations of the Fund Actuary, has found it possible to improve the benefits available to retiring clergy and to the dependants of clergy who die before retirement. B. The improved benefits thus implemented by the Pensions Board require ratification in the form of amendments to Canon 46. C. The improvements in benefits are specifically described as follows hereunder: (i) Clergy (other than bishops) to retire at the age of 66 instead of at the age of 68, but the pension benefits are still to be based on the service that would have applied had retirement occurred at the age of 68. (ii) All service is to count towards pension instead of the present limit of 40 years for clergy and 35 years for bishops. (iii) The death benefit payable on death before retirement is to be increased from 8 times to 10 times the annual pensionable emoluments on 1st January in the year of death. (iv) The death benefit payable on death after retirement is to be increased from 5 times to 7 times the annual pensionable emoluments on 1st January in the year of retirement.______D.

ANSWER Yes Mr W. C a i r n s a s k e d : Why is there no service for "The Admission of Children to Communion before Confirmation" included in the new Prayer Book? Such a service was approved by the Synod of Bishoes in April 1384.
