Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Century of Endeavor, 1821-1921: A Record of the First Hundred Years of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America The Church in America will not be slow to recognize its increased debt to Miss Emery for having added to her labors through long years of joyful service this bit of painstaking research. This would be manifest if she had done nothing more than make available the story told by the Church´s records of the efforts made through the years to find a way by which the Church might do something for those who need spiritual help. But our debt to her is very much increased because she has not yielded to the temptation to tell again the story of the great things which have been accomplished in spite of the blindness and unbelief of the people of our Lord Christ; but has held herself to the task of letting the records show the steady if slowly increasing consciousness of the Church as it has come to recognize itself as the Body of Christ, through which He will complete the purposes of His Incarnation. Most interesting is the story which the growth of the Board of Missions tells all unwittingly, of the spiritual growth of the Body of Christ.
