"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.
