Description
Summary:An utterly unprecedented and crucially important aspect of the Christian world mission is being propelled upon us as one of the unforeseen by-products of the new era in inter-Christian relations precipitated by the late Pope John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council. This new aspect is the whole question of implications in Protestant-Catholic missionary activity. One evidence that the Catholics are taking the lead in grappling with this problem which is going to descend upon us so quickly is the invitation extended by the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Washington, D.C., to Dr. Eugene L. Smith to give a major address before the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the /Catholic/ Mission-Sending Societies. Dr. Smith, who is General Secretary of the Division of World Missions of the Board of Missions of The Methodist Church, delivered this address on September 24, 1963.The MRL presents this paper not only as a contribution in this new Protestant-Catholic relationship in mission but also because of the highly intrinsic, often unique, value of the contents.
