Text: With exploration of alternative projects already begun, The National Executive Council of the Anglican Church of Canada has decided to withdraw support of its Venezuela Project. This would occur no later than December 31, 1971.; A ten member task force, chaired by George E. Davy recommended to the National Executive Council the withdrawal of support "because of difficulties encountered by staff members in Venezuela about the purposes of the Anglican Church of Canada involvement...the inability of the staff to plan and implement a full program of development resulting in low morale among personnel, lack of staff confidence, and lack of responsible administration of the Canadian program."; Affected in the decision are six Canadians, plus Bishop Guy Marshall, Anglican Bishop of Venezuela, who will remain there.; It was pointed out that the Canadian staff will be redeployed along with their financial assistance where ever they desire and where their goals are compatible with those established by the National Executive Council for work overseas.; The Council has expressed optimism that the Church has been able to change direction when the feasibility and evaluation studies proved a particular project unwarranted.; The Council has approved a resolution requesting the program committee to immediately establish a task force to review the overall goals, present objectives and all procedures for all overseas work undertaken by the Anglican Church of Canada. The findings will then be presented to the National Executive Council.; The Venezuela project was a new form of missionary outreach and was to have concerned itself primarily with social action among Venezuelans. The project involved three years of work and expenditures of nearly three hundred thousand dollars in Canadian funds.; Many see the withdrawal positively, saying the Church can profit greatly from "its unfortunate experience."; Task Force Chairman George Davy says the withdrawal does not in any way imply that Venezuela is a country where this type of constructive development could not be undertaken.; He said, "under different conditions, we could consider going back there."; - 30 -

In this book, Kenelm Burridge [an anthropologist] examines these individuals and the work they do from a new perspective, combining anthropology with insights from history, sociology, missiology, and theology, in an attempt to expose and explicate the contradictions and ambiguities involved in missionary endeavours and to establish a theory about the apparently inevitable processes that arise out of the nature of Christianity and the building of a Christian community". -- p.

Missionary work can be very good and it can be very, very bad. As in art and music and all creative work, what is average and middling, hackwork and mechanical had better never have been done. But in art and music and all creative work, what is honest and imaginative, generous and unselfconscious, however poor its form, or halting its technique, is part of the glory of the creative love of God. .... Being a missionary is like being married. Your happiness and joy is in other persons' lives. The interest and excitement of sharing the lives of others is infinitely more than the cost of exile from your own country and from your own folks. Just as in marriage the real giving up us not of bachelor quarters and bachelor ways, but of independence and self-will in carving out your own life, so as a missionary the real self-sacrifice lies in being willing to give up the desire to carve out a distinct pattern for your own life and work".; Contents: Foreword / R.H.
