Resolved, That this 67th General Convention of the Episcopal Church:
- Commits this Church, in the implementation of its program for 1982-85, to support, through prayer, education, and courageous public witness, the strengthening and advancing of Affirmative Action programs heretofore implemented by the Federal government and the States;
- Commends the Presiding Bishop and the President of the House of Deputies for their efforts to make appointments to offices, committees, and commissions within this Church in such manner that minorities, women, and underprivileged persons of all kinds may be fairly and affirmatively represented at all levels of service and responsibility in this Church; and
- Encourages individual Dioceses and congregations to examine the composition of bodies providing leadership within their respective jurisdictions, with an eye that the membership of such bodies may be made more truly representative of our brothers and sisters who come from minority or underprivileged backgrounds.
