- "We transmit herewith the report of the delegation from our Church to the Church of South India, together with an interim report of of Theological Committee, commending them earnestly to our Church for study. .... the subject of these reports is one of the greatest complexity, and equal consequence, we feel, for the future life of the Body of Christ. How can we, as wise statesmen and faithful stewards, order our relationships with the Church of South India, a Church in being which confronts us with a new patten of unity ? This is the question which prompted the visit in the first place, and to which these reports are addressed. Out relationships with the Church of South India pose difficult problems because that Church itself, at the moment, does not fit easily into accepted patterns and formulas. It has deliberately enclosed anomalies; it has deliberately accepted a way of life for itself which creates difficulties, yet which promises a new kind of unity based on what the Church holds to be the essential secrets of its life". -- p. vii.
