1 Our first - and very pleasant - task this year is to express our congratulations to
the retiring Convener, Wilma Frew, on her election to serve as Moderator of the General
Assembly. We acknowledge, with appreciation, the way in which she has led the committee
and guided the business of Assembly in recent years. We also wish to thank the immediate
past Clerk, the Revd Martin Cressey, for his support and guidance in the committee.
2 We are grateful to the Mersey Province for the invitation to Assembly to meet within
its bounds in 1999. It will be non-residential and will be held July 5th-9th at the
Theatre and Floral Hall Complex in Southport.
3 Plans are proceeding for the residential Assembly, which will meet July 1st-4th in
the year 2000. This will be at the Queen Mary and Westfield Colleges of the University of
London.
