Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Open Door: A Challenge to Missionary Advance; Addresses Delivered Before the First General Missionary Convention of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Held in Cleveland, Ohio, October 21 to 24, 1902 At the Ecumenical Missionary Conference held in New York city in 1900 the delegates of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met to discuss ways and means of taking back the message of that Conference to their denomination. After much prayer and discussion it was decided that the most effective way of doing so would be to reproduce it as far as possible upon a denominational basis - in other words, to arrange for a great denominational missionary convention under the auspices of their Missionary Board. A committee was appointed and certain delegates from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, consulted with delegates from the Methodist Episcopal Church concerning ways in which the proposed convention of the Church South might be made a great success. In April, 1901, more than a thousand delegates from the Southland assembled in New Orleans, and for seven days they sat under the spell of one of the most powerful missionary conventions which have been held on this continent. Five representatives from the Methodist Episcopal Church were privileged to attend the New Orleans Convention as representatives of the denomination. These visitors were: Bishop J. M. Thoburn, Drs. John F. Goucher and F. D. Gamewell, and Messrs. John R. Mott and S. Earl Taylor. At the conclusion of the convention the Methodist Episcopal representatives were unanimously of the opinion that their Church should profit by such a convention, when the opportune moment should arrive. In the fall of 1901 the General Missionary Committee met in Pittsburg. At that time it became necessary to cut the missionary appropriations about eight percent. This, preceded by the cut of more than two percent of the year previous, reduced our missions to a desperate condition and made it evident to all that something must be done, and done quickly.
