Resulting from the report of a joint working party, Partnership for World Mission (PWM) was inaugurated at a Service in Holy Trinity, Brompton, London, on 26 October 1978. At the Service representatives of ten mission agencies and the Chairman of the General Synod's Board for Mission, of behalf of the Church of England, signed a document committing them to working together in a new partnership. The partnership was struck in recognition of the 'nearly three centuries' of 'dedication and energy' of the missionary societies in providing voluntary mission, and in light of the growing awareness that 'mission is not just "out there", and it is a responsibility of the whole church rather than a band of enthusiasts within it'. The PWM has a Chairman appointed by the Archbishop, ten members representing the mission agencies and five members appointed by the Standing Committee of the General Synod on the advice of the BMU. In practice the ten missionary agencies appointed one member each.
