- "The background of this book is the turbulent world of the 1960s, and the ecumenical revolution within the Christian churches. Amid so much change, what is the role of the Anglican Communion ? To put it better: what use has God for Anglicans. The author frankly examines the source of authority for Anglicans, the administration of the mission in principle and practice, and the prayer and conversation that unite this curious family of 40 millions. .... This book ... is being published simultaneously by Morehouse-Barlow, New York, in connection with the international Anglican Congress in Toronto, August 1963. But it is a book which will keep its value until the next Lambeth Conference, to which it looks forward". -- back cover.
- Contents: Preface / Stephen F. Bayne, Jr. -- Author's Foreword -- Authority and Freedom -- Regional and National Churches -- Is Anglicanism a 'Confession' ? -- The Administration of Mission: In Principle -- The Administration of Mission: Day by Day -- The Family Which Prays Together -- Family Ties -- Epilogue.
- OTCH Note. The author makes particular mention of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Foreword, saying: "My indebtedness to others will be obvious and my inability to make acknowledgements manifest. But one act of recognition must be recorded. It is to the Missionary Society of the Anglican Church in Canada. It was the deep privilege of an invitation to lecture to a seminar in London, Ontario, which proved the final stimulus to put down on paper thoughts which for years had clamoured inside me for expression but which, aware of a sense of my own incompetence, I had so often decided to leave to others more capable (p. 12)".
