The assembly moves to end the arrangement under which three societies known as British Missions issued a joint appeal to churches. It urges continued liberal support for Church Aid and Nome Missionary Society while not disadvantaging Colonial Missionary Society and Irish Evangelical Society. It also asks county associations to form confidential committees to handle minister removal and resettlement.
