Book description
Published in 1860, this book is the detailed record of the conference on Christian missions that was held in Liverpool in that year. Edited by the conference secretaries, it includes the papers submitted to the meeting and the conclusions drawn at the conference. The delegates were missionaries, directors and secretaries of missionary societies, and church representatives from across Britain. The meeting was a way to share ideas on all aspects of missionary work from recruitment and training through to dealing with the challenges missionaries faced in practice. The book has a complete index of the subjects discussed, which included the implications of the Indian Mutiny of 1857; female education; fundraising; and an assessment of the role of medical missions in China and Japan. It also includes a bibliography of written material on Christian missions available at the time of publication.
