The series consists of the files of the General Secretary's Office of the Canadian Council of Churches. It is divided loosely into two parts based on the original order of the records. The first part comprises records created primarily before 1970 (volumes 100-154) and is organized into the following sub-groups: Alphabetical and chronological subject files, Administrative files, Dr. R.M. Bennett's files, Department of Social Relations, Member churches, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, World Council of Churches, Local councils of churches, Dr. Floyd Honey's files, Commissions and committees, Associate Secretary's files, Publications transferred to the National Library, Individuals' files, and Miscellaneous files.

The second part comprises records created primarily between 1971 and 1975 (volumes 155-215) and is organized chronologically. Within this framework, the records were filed by the General Secretary's Office using a letter code to designate specific types or subjects of files. The following letter codes have been identified: A, Canadian Council of Churches general; B, Member churches and related organizations; C, Local councils of churches; D, World Council of Churches; E, Geographical files; F, Inter-church relations (Roman Catholic Church); G, Other organizations; H, Administration; and I, Miscellaneous files. The subjects of other letter codes have not been determined.
