Should Converts Formulate Their Own Tersion?
London, Aug. 22.
In both China and India there is now a strong feeling that converts to the Christian religion must organize themselves and formulate their own version of Christianity, declared Professor Percy Gardner, President of the Churchmen's Union, at the opening of the Conference of Modern Churchmen at Oxford.
He went on to say that the notion of merely importing to India and China ready-made church systems was giving way to a feeling that each nation had something to add and so adaptation was necessary. The Nestorian and Jesuit missions were crushed out by national reaction. Protection by Europeans was necessary until local churches were strong, but not after.—Reuter's Special Service.
