- "While the North American Ecumenical Conference was not a meeting of any particular organization and stood 'on its own feet', nevertheless it was planned and organized by the leaders of the ecumenical movement in North America and must be seen in this setting to be understood. For the past four decades interest in the unity of the non Roman churches of the world has risen notably. .... The responsibility for the develoment of the [World] Council -- and more broadly of the movement which it most completely symbolizes -- rested in America with the North American Provisional Committee of the World Council of Churches (in formation), That Committee, under the chairmanship jointly of Principal [Richard] Davidson of Toronto and Dr. William Adams Brown of New York, at its meeting in Rochester, New York, in the fall of 1940 was moved to suggest that since no world assembly could meet because of the war, a Continental ecumenical fellowship conference be held in North America. This was, as already hinted, not to be a meeting of any organization but an informal gathering of representatives of such churches as would cooperate in Mexico, Canada and the United States, together with invited representatives from South American churches". -- Background of the Conference, p. 5-6.
