The series consists of the records (including minutes, reports and correspondence) generated through the work of some of the Committees, Task Forces and Working Groups Answering to the Executive and Sub-Executive and Special Committees which have existed in the Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario since 1968. These include: Boundaries Committees and Commissions, 1968-1993; Budget Task Force, [ca.1990]; Committee of Women's Ministries, 1988-1993; Commission Studying Role of the Faculty of Theology, University of Winnipeg, 1985-1986; Conference Committees/Task Forces on Conference Structures/Restructuring, 1972-1992; Conference Co-ordinating Group for the Study of Sexuality, Lifestyles and Ministry, 1986-1989; Conference Fact Finding Committee on United Church Halfway Homes in Winnipeg, [ca.1971]; Conference (Long Range) Planning Committee/Task Group, 1968-1971; Conference Visioning Committee, 1990-1992; Task Force on Conference Archives, 1987/88; Trinitarian Formula Working Group, 1991; Women's Committee, 1980-1982; Special Committee to Study the Indian Work in Manitoba Conference, [ca.1930]-1957; and Indian Advisory Council, 1971-1972.

Records described here consist of one folder of miscellaneous materials, creator unknown, pertaining to the activities of the Conference UCM and Conference AOTS Council dating from 1964 to 1977 and accessioned along with other records of Conference administration.

Records in this series concern inter-conference and ecumenical organisations supported by the Conference after 1972. Support usually involved a member of Conference serving on a supervisory board or committee and might include some sort of monetary aid towards the work of the organisation. Usually, these groups and organisations would make an annual report to Conference on the progress of their work. This was not compulsory, however. After 1983, many of these groups liased with Conference through the Evangelism and Social Action Council.

In most cases, the record consists of small amounts of correspondence and reference materials created and acquired by the Conference Executive Secretary or Conference Administrative Support and Evangelism and Social Action Staff in the course of their work. These items were transferred to the Conference Archives in 1996 as part of a larger group of inactive records of Conference administration that had been stored at the Conference Offices at 120 Maryland. In some cases, such as with the Church and Community Inquiry into Unemployment, the Inter-Church Task Force on Northern Flooding, and the Manitoba Interfaith Council it appears that the Archives have acquired the majority of the records created or acquired by these bodies. This may include minutes, submissions to the group, reports and correspondence as well as research material collected by the group.

Records described as part of this series include the following sub-series: Canadian Foodgrains Bank, 1987-1991; the Christmas Cheer Board, 1973-1978; the Church and Community Inquiry into Unemployment, 1993; the Committee on Theological Education for Ministry, 1987-1988; Inter-Church Coalition on Africa, [ca.1990]; the Inter-Church Commission for Isolated Communities, 1978-1985; the Inter-Church Committee on World Development Education (Ten Days for World Development), 1973-1984; the Inter-Church Task Force on Northern Flooding, 1973-1986; the Manitoba Inter-Church Coalition on Resource Development (provincial arm of Project North), predominant 1975-1988; the Interfaith Pastoral Institute, 1975-1980; the Manitoba Interfaith Council, 1972-1992; PLURA, 1990; and the Social Assistance Coalition of Manitoba, 1989-1990.

Items described as part of this series consist of the surviving records of various Conference committees concerned with the oversight and promotion of the communications activities and media relations of the Conference of Manitoba (later Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario). These activities included (but were not confined to) broadcasting; book publishing and sales; newsletter writing and distribution; audio visual rentals; submissions to public hearings on broadcasting policy; and membership in inter-conference and ecumenical groups involved with media production and public policy formulation. As one Communications Co-ordinator (chair of the Conference Communications Committee) stated, these committees were “concerned with the presentation of the church’s message through the media of mass communications” (Record of Proceedings, 1966, p. 67).
