"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.

"The Congress consisted of five sessions; in each there was a main paper followed by three or four shorter ones. This fact explains that the varying length of the papers is simply a matter of convenience and does not reflect necessarily the importance of the subject. At the close of the Congress a great Service of Worship was held in St. Paul's Cathedral at which the Affirmations were made. These Affirmations must be read in the light of the papers to which they refer. ... A copy of this book, together with the Affirmations, is being sent to each Bishop attending the Lambeth Conference with the hope that it may serve to emphasise the necessity for conversion and the intense concern with which Evangelicals view the cause of Evangelism". -- Foreword.

Report of a group chaired by the Rev. Canon M.A.C. Warren.
"The Report has been prepared by a Group convened by the Church of England Moral Welfare Council at the behest of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Group met for four whole days, and the theological members for two days more; there were other consultations between members, and an extensive exchange of papers. The signed Report is unanimous. The papers in Appendix 1 were prepared for the use of the Group .... Members of the Group are greatly indebted to Dr. Gertrude Willoughby for Chapters 1 to 8 in Appendix 1, the drafting of which involved a great deal of work in a very short time. Appendix 2 was prepared by the Department of Christian Social Relations of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the U.S.A., at the request of the Presiding Bishop .... The first draft of the manuscript was written by Mrs. Muriel S. Webb, on the basis of consultations .... Appendix 3 was prepared by the Department of Christian Social Service of the Anglican Church of Canada. Appendix 4 is a Report prepared by a Special Committee appointed by the Metropolitan of the Church of India, Burma, Pakistan, and Ceylon, as requested by the Episcopal Synod of that Church. All the above material has been prepared for the use of the Lambeth Conference, 1958". -- Note, p. vii.
"Our subject was given to us with two sub-titles: 'The Family in Contemporary Society: (a) Problems of Population; (b) Effects of Rapid Social Change on Family Life'. It became clear to us in discussion that the sub-sections are not separable: the demographic factor -- that is, the number and density of population, and its distribution by age and sex -- is one of the essential determinants of economic and social conditions; demographic change necessarily involves economic and social changes, and economic and social changes are never unrelated to the population structure. The family in involved at every point, casually in creating (or arresting) the population change, consequentially in the economic and social changes which follow". -- The Report, pp. 1-2.

"When the Advisory Council on Missionary Strategy met at Lambeth Palace in July 1956, it had before it for consideration some memoranda on Missionary Strategy. Of these the longest and weightiest was an essay by Canon M.A.C. Warren, D.D., General Secretary of the Church Missionary Society. This essay was regarded as of great importance and value. On a number of points criticism and suggestions for its improvement were offered and these were subsequently conveyed to Canon Warren with the request that he would revise his essay in the light of the comments made by the Advisory Council and would incorporate much of the other memoranda as was relevant. This report is therefore the work of Canon Warren both in its form and its present revision. But it has had the benefit of discussion by the Advisory Council and was recommended by the Council for publication as a preparatory document for the Lambeth Conference 1958". -- Foreword.

"This study book is bound to awake the greatest interest because it deals with an exciting subject, and is written by those who know the subject at first hand. .... Among the forces from other countries which are active in Africa today are the influences of communism, of Christian missions, and of Islam. To which of these will Africans turn ? For the development of Africa will continue to depend upon fellowship with the rest of the world. No country can live to itself. .... One of the most important forces in Africa is, of course, the Christian Church, and our Churches in our own country are able to co-operate with Africans through our missionary interest in the Church. You will find here, the record of evangelism and pastoral care, the work of education in Christian schools, and the work of healing in Christian hospitals; a work which we are bound to reinforce with our prayer and our understanding and our assistance. I believe that the leadership is there in Africa; I have been deeply impressed by the splendid African bishops whom I have met at various conferences, but they still need our co-operation". -- Foreword.

"The present volume, the fourth in this series, essays the ambitious task of offering some clues to what is happening in that spiritual conflict which is modern Africa. For spiritual conflict it is and that in its essence. .... The spiritual conflict in Africa is a striving to re-establish that primal unity of man with both the material and the spiritual universe which African man instinctively feels to be true 'being' and which hardly exists anywhere in Africa today. Believing this, the author seeks to establish first of all the essentially African way of feeling the truth about things, a 'feeling after the truth', which finds expression in an illimitable anthology of proverbial sayings rather than in a systematic philosophy". -- General Intro.

"As advertised the general subject of the Lectures was given as 'Some Problems of Mission in the Contemporary World'. If they appear under a somewhat different title that is because something a little more compact was called for, and the change makes it possible to indicate, what the original title did not, that the Lectures were primarily concerned to illustrate the situation in Africa today. .... I would wish, in particular, to underline the word 'today' in the title. It is of the Africa of today, of the year 1963, that these Lectures treated, not of the Africa of yesterday or of tomorrow. The Africa of today is in revolt against the Africa of yesterday. No one can yet foresee the Africa of tomorrow. But perhaps some service to greater understanding, some encouragement to more sustained prayer, can be given by looking at the Africa of today". -- Foreword.
The author "first tackles urbanisation as a modern development and the stupendous changes now occurring amongst the primitive peoples of Africa. Next he turns to African Nationalism, including African disenchantment with the West and the new difficulties this creates for the western oriented Christian Church. Finally he writes on church status in Africa where the priesthood, following the pattern set by white missionaries, has the characteristics of chieftainship instead of service". -- back cover.

"This anthology of Henry Venn's letters, sermons and pamphlets gives us a picture of the man who was secretary of the Church Missionary Society from 1841 to 1872. It is unfortunate (for us) that the excerpts deal mostly with the earlier fields of C.M.S. endeavour -- West Africa and India". "Venn emphasized the importance of aiming from the start at having a native ministry of training people to act as pastors so that the missionaries might devote their time to converting. To keep the native pastor from becoming an agent of European society, he 'should never be trained up in habits and expectations too far removed above his countrymen'. An important role would thus be played by the catechists, though there would be some exceptions (like Henry Budd) who might go on to be ordained. Although the use of catechists has been a prominent part of the Canadian missionary effort, Anglicans have been blatantly European about much of our approach to our native people".
