| Summary: | Social and intellectual transformations taking place in Latin America at the present time call for corresponding adaptations in missionary methods. The intelligent Mexican or South American is not interested in precise doctrinal statements which mean so much to some, nor does he feel inclined to identify himself with any ecclesiastical organization which would tend to alienate him from his race. He is keenly alive to all that has to do with the welfare of his own country; he is proud of his culture, and believes that the Latin race has a distinct contribution to make to the world. But he is not blinded to racial or national shortcomings, and is willing to co-operate heartily with anyone who has the good of his people at heart and who is ready to labor for human betterment in the spirit of Christ and as a friend of man. |
