Resolution 22
The Life and Witness of the Christian Community - Race
The Conference affirms its conviction that all communicants without distinction of race or colour should have access in any church to the Holy Table of the Lord, and that no one should be excluded from worship in any church on account of colour or race. Further, it urges that where, owing to diversity of language or custom, Christians of different races normally worship apart, special occasions should be sought for united services and corporate communion in order to witness to the unity of the Body of Christ.
The Conference would remind all Christian people that the ministrations of the clergy should never be rejected on grounds of colour or race, and in this connection it would state its opinion that in the interests of true unity it is undesirable that in any given area there should be two or more bishops of the same Communion exercising independent jurisdiction.
