Summary: | The Foreign Missions Conference at Washington was called for the purpose of imparting information and arousing enthusiasm. Not only was it inspirational; it was revelatory. To the student of missions it afforded another of those periodical occasions wherein widely scattered missionary phenomena are focused into small compass and thus may be studied advantageously. It gave insight into the present condition of the various churches of America. It revealed certain recent developments within the missionary enterprise and in the world at large. The legacy of the conference is a question: Will our American churches which are regional and western be able to reconcile themselves to the changes involved in the present process of making Christianity world-wide, if not universal? |
