13. Mr David Minty asked -

(a) What plans does the Standing Committee have to build on the opportunities provided by the development of sports-related ministries and inter-denominational activities following the Olympic and Para-Olympic Games in Sydney next year?

(b) How is it contemplated that the work done by Rev David Tyndall be continued after the cessation of funding in 2001?

To which the President replied -

(a) and (b) There is no proposal before the Standing Committee for the continuation of sports related ministries and related inter-denominational activities beyond June 2001 (see item 9.7 of the Report on page 304 of Standing Committee's report to Synod). Accordingly, provision for the continuation of those ministries has not been made.
