The pamphlet consists of a June 12, 1975 report about apartheid and white racism in Southern Africa by these representatives of The Anglican Church of Canada (L'église anglicane du Canada): The Rt. Rev. Harold Nutter (Diocese of Fredericton), The Ven. Ken Clarke (Chairperson, Program Committee), Canon Lorenzo Harrison (World Mission Sub-Committee), Mrs. Sheila Connell (Primate's World Relief and Development Committees), The Rev. Laurence Scyner (Unit on Public Social Responsibility), and The Rev. Thomas Anthony (Director, National and World Program). The report discusses Vorster and the so-called "bantustans" policy, under which, since June 1974, more than a quarter million black Africans are estimated to have been forcibly and arbitrarily removed to a "homeland," often from lands to which they had legal title. The report mentions the average monthly earnings per person by race, pass laws, education, and health. The report says the Church and others are deeply enmeshed in the racist complexities of Southern Africa. Only in Namibia, through the leadership of Bishop in Exile Colin Winter and Bishop Richard Wood, had they clearly identify themselves with the black majority. The pamphlet includes excerpts of resolutions on Southern Africa including on racism, trade and investment in Southern Africa, Consultation - Cabinet, Programs - South Africa, Use of Investments, and Message - Church in Southern Africa. • Introduction • The Situation in Southern Africa • The Role of the Church • Resolutions Regarding Southern Africa Passes at the 1975 General Synod in Quebec City (June 18-26, 1975) • About this report
