 Ajayi lecture 2a
Venn had to struggle with the Hutt Committee of the House of Commons, which concluded that the number of slavers and captives reaching Freetown, compared with the numbers of slaves still being exported, did not justify the expenditure in men and material.
Henry Venn said "The intelligence took us by surprise … but looking at the event as accomplished, it must prove a great benefit to the mission and give it a stability which it could not otherwise have had.
Venn obviously preferred the informal empire of Consuls, treaties and naval protection, because he considered that as more compatible with his policy of encouraging self-government and the growth of a Native Agency.

 Euthanasia of a Mission: African Church Autonomy in a Colonial Context by Jehu Hanciles [ISBN: 0275975703] - Find Cheap ...
Henry Venn, secretary of the London-based Church Missionary Society from 1840 to 1872, coined the term "euthanasia of a mission" to describe the vital process whereby a foreign mission becomes progressively indigenous and independent.
His vision of church autonomy was first implemented in Sierra Leone, and the author examines this experiment in detail to uncover the nature of early efforts at constructing an African Christian identity separate from foreign influence and control.
Through a detailed analysis of the crises and controversies evoked by African interpretation and appropriation of Venn's vision, the author illustrates the complex interaction of foreign missionary action, indigenous Christian response, and socioeconomic factors in the problematic transition from mission to national church.
