3. The Rev Dr John Bunyan asked -

        What grants or other financial assistance was given by the Standing Committee, Regional Councils, Anglicare or any other official body of the Diocese to each parochial unit in each of the regions of the Diocese in 1999, and in each case for which one or more of the following purposes was that assistance given -

        (a) pastoral (other than hospital) ministry,

        (b) hospital ministry,

        (c) evangelism,

        (d) youth and children's ministry,

        (e) "ethnic" ministry?

        To which the President replied -

        I am advised the answers are as follows -

        The Standing Committee did not give any grants to parishes from general funds in 1999 for the purposes referred to in (a) - (e) of the question.

        Advice has been obtained from the regional archdeacons and Anglicare about grants for 1999 for the purposes referred to in (a) to (e). The following information summarises the information provided. The regional councils and Anglicare do not make grants according to each of the specific categories referred to in (a) to (e) above and, since it would be artificial to try to classify the grants according to those categories, no attempt has been made to do so.
