Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of a Conference of the Foreign Missionary Societies of Great Britain and Ireland: Arranged by the London Secretaries Association, and Held in London on June 18, 19 and 20, 1901 The Protestant Missionary Societies of the United States and Canada have for some years past held an Annual Conference of officials and others intimately connected with the work of Foreign Missions. The object of the Conference has been a full and frank discussion, such as is impossible at a large public meeting, of the various questions of policy and administration which present themselves to those responsible for the direction and control of the missionary enterprise. The success and recognized value of this American Conference led the London Secretaries´ Association to arrange a similar Conference in London. An invitation to appoint delegates was sent to every Foreign Missionary Society having its headquarters in Great Britain or Ireland, and the response was most encouraging, thirty-one societies promising to take part in the Conference. The committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society kindly offered the use of the Library and other rooms at the Bible House for the purposes of the Conference, an arrangement which was recognized by all as peculiarly happy and appropriate. It was decided that the delegation of each society taking part in the Conference should be limited, at any one session, to five representatives from the foreign field and five from the home work. The personnel of the delegation might, however, if it were so desired, be varied from one session to another. The total number of delegates who registered their names was one hundred and fifty-six. The following pages contain an almost verbatim report of the Conference. In a few of the speeches, where there was a repetition of sentiments already expressed by a previous speaker, some condensation has been attempted. It may fairly be said, therefore, that every speech in the Report contributes something to the discussion of the subject under consideration. In most cases the proofs have been revised by the speakers. The fact that this Report passed through the press during the holiday season made such a revision impossible in a few instances. It is hoped that this little and unpretentious volume may prove not unworthy of a place beside the Reports of larger and more famous Conferences. If it serves to contribute anything to the solution of the great questions discussed within its pages, the labour of those concerned in its production will be abundantly recompensed.
