Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christian Cooperation in Latin America A familiarity with the exhaustive reports of the Panama Congress and its Regional Conferences, which so clearly state the need of Latin America, and outline a strategic missionary policy, is taken for granted in the present report. The Panama Congress settled once for all the question of the legitimacy of evangelical mission work in Latin America, and of the contributions it has already made to the welfare of these nations. Only the matters that seem most insistent and practical, a year after the holding of the conferences, are here discussed. I have supposed that both missionaries and those at home who are interested in the technical questions of mission policy, desire, as a result of my visit to the field, a critical study of our problems rather than an encouraging resume of achievements. It would be a pleasure to recount the unselfish service and the encouraging results found in every country visited. The fellowship with earnest, faithful missionaries and national leaders, who so wrap themselves around ones heart, was a privilege continually met and profoundly appreciated. But such matters belong to another type of report. The stress of the present world situation seems to justify the arrangement of material, and the emphasis I have placed upon what some of my fellow-missionaries would criticise as a "mixing in politics." I only ask that each reader will bear in mind the fact that the whole mission world is affected by the crisis now upon us, and that it must influence our policies whether we approve or not. At the risk of some repetition, I have discussed, in the first part of the report, the questions of primary importance at the present time. Then follow the chapters on the different countries, written on the field, which tell the story of the trip, with impressions in the order in which they came. A closing section re-emphasizes a few questions to which I desire to give special prominence. The deepest impression made upon my mind is that North America has done so little in the face of such a gigantic, attractive, impelling missionary task. Not even the demands of a world war must deter the Evangelical Church from enlarging its program for these mighty lands, opened more than ever to us because of the world war.
