"The following pages contain what I sincerely hope is a fair account of the Anglican Congress of 1963. In addition to the sermons and formal addresses, reproduced in as accurate and definitive a form as time and circumstances permit. I have included both the group 'findings' as officially reported to the full Congress and a wide selection of informal speeches and comments made in the plenary sessions or sent in from the groups. I have also attempted a brief preliminary interpretation of the Congress as I saw it and felt its impact. It was the express wish of the Editorial Committee that the record of the Toronto Congress should include these elements of personal reporting and commentary and I have tried to carry out my assignment without worrying unduly about the criticisms that such an impressionistic account must necessarily invite". -- Preface, p. xv.

"In making a survey of preaching in the Anglican Communion to-day one might well expect sermons and preaching methods that differ in various ways from the commonly accepted standards of the Protestant pulpit and from Roman Catholic preaching. In part, this book is designed to afford material for such a study, and to enable the reader to discover for himself just what are the doctrines and ideas being presented and the methods employed by representative preachers today in the Episcopal Church throughout the world. The editor has spent nearly two years in correspondence and preparation, having begun this task because men preparing for the ministry have asked why it was not possible to obtain a book which would present for study and analysis examples of the work of Anglican pulpits to-day". -- Foreword.

"The occasion of the book is the Mission to the Royal Air Force to be held in November, 1952. But it is hoped that its usefulness will be far more general. The world today is a dangerous place. The Christian Church is confronted by ruthless enemies and by an insidious, relentless ideology of atheistic materialism. No can afford to stand aside." -- Preface, p. iii.
