The Wellington District Synod of the Methodist Church decided tc reappoint its committee to consider women }s entry into the ministry and furnish proposals for their training anc reception in the full ministry of the church. Bev. W. R. Burley said women should be received in precisely the same manner as men. The report the committee presented was criticised by Bev. G. II. Goodman who said it was very eontradictory and made no recomniendations whatever.

The committee approved the principle of equality in both training and status and thought adequate ministerial training for women could best be provided at Auckland by the extension of facilities at Trinity College.
