The General Council asked for responses from the Congregations. The responses found here and received by the General Council contain the predominant view of opposition to the statements in the report. The language and references to the LGBTQ+ community found in the responses is outdated, and inappropriate. The language and references seen in these materials are now regarded as highly-offensive. Please make any necessary preparations prior to viewing. Materials of this nature may be upsetting and may be unsuitable for some uses. CONTENT WARNING: File 43-35 contains a legal document regarding the sale of property. The document prohibits the sale of the property to a "non-caucasion person". This is a descriminatory policy that was based on racist and colonial stereotypes and attitudes towards the global majority or people of colour. Please make any necessary preparations prior to viewing. Materials of this nature may be upsetting and may be unsuitable for some uses.
