Synopsis
Excerpt from Devolution in Mission Administration: As Exemplified by the Legislative History of Five American Missionary Societies in India
There are, then, two general types of institutions on the mission field - the well-developed missionary organizations long intrenched in the consciousness of the West, and the young Church constantly grow ing in numbers, organization and sense of corporate life. If the emphasis of the Nineteenth Century has been on the Mission, that of the Twentieth will undoubtedly be upon the Church in the Mission Field. And yet so recently as four years ago the chairman of the Edinburgh Commission II - which more than any other one thing has made this Church the focal center of mission thought - ventured to say that even Christian missionaries, and still less those who look on from without, scarcely under stand that we are no longer to be the leaders but the allies Of the Church of Christ in the Mission Field.
