The writer was asked to present the opening address. An effort to write a forty-minute address produced this essay.Peace is the burning concern of millions of persons to whom the younger churches and the missionaries are e ndeavoring to proclaim the gospel today.Peace in allits meanings and facets has from the beginning been a major objective of the Christian apostolate, because the vertical reconciliation of men with God in Jesus Christ is man ifested on earth in the horizontal reconciliation of men with men.' (p. 5) -- `"Black-birding" or kidnapping natives under the pretense of indenturing them as servants was the source of strife and bloodshed in Melanesia. [Bi shop John C.] Patteson bluntly denounced blackbirding as a slave trade and fought it.

Evangelical cells planted among them would bring revival. The separation of some of them into an Anglican community, which eventually occurred, was not the original intention. Similarly Protestant missionary action in the Near East was just as free of an aim to proselytize. The pioneer missionaries and the directors of their societies and boards had caught the same vision as Ramon Lull had seen it in the thirteenth century: those ancient churches would be revived, become again obedient to the missionary imperative, and then would themsleves evangelize the Muslims with an effectiveness that Westerners could never hope to have.'
