- "Edited by Dr. Percy Dearmer, Canon of Westminster".
- "The issue, indeed, is simple. The motives and methods of human life are not sufficiently moralised: it was to moralise the machinery of production, to limit the power of selfishness, that Wilberforce and Shaftesbury were working a century ago; and the whole world now enjoys what Christians then won: but in many ways industry and business, and family life, and civic and political activity, need further moralisation. Money -- the necessary use of tokens of exchange -- has been overlooked in its moral aspect (in spite of what Christ said about it) .... And, alas, there was one aspect of human life which was not understood a hundred years ago; and to this our present miseries are mainly due. The very word 'international' had then only just been coined by Jeremy Bentham. The whole conception of moralising international relations was in its infancy. So the world went on to its doom. So, because the nations and their representatives have not yet learnt the elements of international behaviour, we stand at this moment of writing on the brink of irretrievable disaster. It is in a very real sense true that only Christ can save the world from ruin to-day. Are we prepared to let his spirit save the nations from themselves ?" -- Preface, p. 10-11.

- "This is an account of some 25 years of what is now known as Urban Rural Mission. .... What is attempted here is to give an introductory account ... of the years since the WCC's New Delhi Assembly in 1961 which have seen a direct association between the WCC and `urban industrial' or `urban rural' mision. The basic rationale of UIM/URM -- as set out with deceptive simplicity, for example, in a 1969 document -- was to `explore new forms of Christian mission' in the context of modern society. The purpose was to help the development of the policies of the WCC and constituent churches with regard to mission and ministry, in the hope that `these explorations would discover the need for changes in current missionary policies' as well as `possibly indicating a more definitive role for the WCC in global economic, political and social decisions'. .... The awkwardness of the name (the earlier Urban Industrial Mission was just as peculiar) is an indication of the difficulty of trying to define this small section of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME), itself one of the four sub-units within the WCC's Faith and Witness unit." -- pp. xi-xii.

- "It was in the Mexico Conference on World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches in 1963 that the six-continent approach to the emerging challenge of Urban-Industrial Mission was first emphasized. .... One of the most joyful facts of this brief ten years of history of Urban-Industrial Mission since the Mexico Conference is the uprising here and there of grass-roots people, those who are neglected, disinherited and oppressed, at the very bottom of society. .... In this booklet we have gathered specific cases of Urban-Industrial Mission in the six continents and included some of its basic perspectives and methods of operation. .... This booklet was prepared by the Advisory Committee of the Urban-Industrial Mission Desk of the World Council of Churches". -- Preface.
