	The World Missionary Conference
		The purpose of that Laymen’s Congress was to quicken missionary enthusiasm, to develop a missionary conscience, to make the church feel her duty to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.
		To each of them the conference devotes one day, taking as the basis for its discussions the report prepared by the commission, the proof sheets of which were put into the hands of some of the delegates some time before they left their homes for Edinburgh.
		Wardlaw Thompson, missionary to Africa, contrasts the attitude of high-caste, cultured Hindus toward the missionary with that of the primitive or barbarous peoples, where the missionary is admittedly one of a "superior" race.

	New Era In World Missions
		But even the organization of so many scattered missionary societies, the raising up of student volunteers, the education of young people, and the arousing of the laity were not enough for the adequate entrance of the Church upon the new era in world missions.
		Every one attending this great series of conferences was struck by the dominant note of unity, and the growing consciousness of the Christian body as it is being knit together for a great, united, and forward movement on the mission field.
		Were missionaries to go forth, a company of strangers and foreigners, to ask the peoples of Asia and Africa to change some habit of dress or social custom their task might seem almost impossible.

		Missionaries could also move about their district much more quickly and easily using bicycles, perfectly suited for the 18 inch wide paths which criss-crossed much of Africa.
		Most of the missionaries of the second generation were far more westernized than their predecessors had been, since they went home on furlough far more often.
		Far more single women came as missionaries in the 20th century than in the 19th, for the simple reason that the mission agencies came to be willing to accept single women as missionaries.

	Christian Forces - Co-operation On The Foreign Mission Field
		And that such is the case every true missionary rejoices, for the hope of heathenism lies in the development of a truly native church, with an energy and an enthusiasm derived immediately from the one Lord of the Church.
		A missionary leader, recently returned from a tour in China and Japan, reports that he met in conference five Christian professors in the Doshisha University who united in the expression of belief that, while the essence of Christianity is bound to prevail in Japan, Western ecclesiastical forms and institutions will not prevail there.
		The great Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910, the seventh of a series of such conferences, interdenominational and international, that date back to 1854, might well be called "Ecumenical," for it was the nearest approach to an all-inclusive gathering that Protestantism has ever seen.

	The Boston Theological Institute
		Faith and Order issues were framed with the formation of a movement that took up these issues between 1910 and 1948, or the period bounded by the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh (1910), with the formation of the International Missionary Council, and formation of the WCC (1948).
		Ecumenical missionary conferences in places as disparate as Madras, India, and New York City, USA, were precursors of the influential world missionary conference held at Edinburgh, 1910.
		While the post WWII years saw the formation of a host of “faith” missions, the missionary efforts of oldline Protestant denominations, insofar as they were united in the IMC, became a third strand of the WCC from 1961-1990 as the Department of World Mission and Evangelism of the WCC.

	Crisis-3
		In 1937, the missionaries were among the few who did protest and, though they did not see the blasphemy clearly, they knew contrition was necessary and that concrete action was its only meaningful form.
		The Vienna conference had been carefully timed to precede immediately the 12-26 July 1937 world conference on "Church, Community, and State" convened at Oxford by the Universal Christian Council for Life and Work, which, like the IMC, had grown from the 1910 Edinburgh missionary conference.
		In face of the political and social crises facing the world, which were thoroughly discussed at Oxford, the insistence by a peripheral group of missionaries to Jews that antisemitism was an "evil within the Church" was easily subsumed by the conference under a general denunciation of racism.

		The Edinburgh World Missionary Conference of 1910 led to the emergence not only of the International Missionary Council as its direct outcome but hardly less as an indirect result to the Faith and Order Movement, one of the parents of the World Council of Churches.
