Ministry and mission -- 44. Worship and the church's mission -- 5. Toward a larger ecumenism. -- `No easy answers are available for the problem of relationship among the world's great religions. This is a field fraught with difficulties and dangers where one may easily be trapped by false simplicities, or be tempted by least common denominators; where he may succumb to sentimentality on the one hand or immobility on the other. Yet we are driven and drawn by the very nature of our faith. Though we can neither predict nor determine the outcome, we can in obedience receive the answers that God himself may in his good time disclose to us. Here our openness as Christians is called for; our loyalty as Christians is not called into question.' (p. 9 f.).…

In preparing the English edition of this remarkable autobiography, it has been my single aim to select those portions of the original work, edited by Dr. Ridpath, likely to be most interesting to the English reader. The course of the narrative has nowhere been broken, and I have altogether left Bishop Taylor to tell his story in his own way. Nor have I added anything to his words. The repeated perusal of this life story has left a deep and gracious impression upon my own heart. I commend these pages to the reader in the confident anticipation that he will glorify God both in the worker and in his wonderful work--"and they glorified God in me." Charles G. Moore.
