- "If one was starting from scratch to form structures for world mission for the Church of England in the 1990s, one might not start from where we are today ! But as with many other national institutions in the country, structures have evolved and been adapted over the years, moulded by circumstances, individuals, historic accidents and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. .... To enable the Church of England to be more effective and relevant there are changes of structure and ways of relating that need to be adopted. The purpose of this report is to review the changing ways in which the Church of England is engaging with its partner Churches within the Anglican Communion and beyond in sharing in God's mission in today's world, not just overseas but also in allowing others to assist us in our mission in this country. The report reminds us of our heritage. It identifies changes. It indicates ways in which the historic mission agencies, the more recently developed system of diocesan companion links, parishes and aid agencies may collaborate more efficiently and sensitively with our partners overseas". -- Preface.
