Excerpt from Report of Commission IV: The Missionary Message in Relation to Non-Christian Religions; With Supplement; Presentation and Discussion of the Report in the Conference on 18th June 1910 Tm: aim of this Commission, as defined by the Executive Committee of the Conference, has been to study the problems involved in the presentation of Christianity to the minds oi the non-christian peoples. Simple as this task may appear, the endeavour to carry it out speedily reveals how intricate and how comprehensive such an enquiry should be. We ha to enquire into the conflict of faiths in the non-christian lands, the influence of that conflict on the mind of the missionary, the effect of the whole upon the theology of the Church at home, and the suggestions which it offers for the training of missionaries. The best way of getting at once to the heart of the whole situation seemed to be to ascertain from the body of missionaries what they found on the one haad to be really alive in the non-christian religions, what had the power of keeping men back from Christ, or of preparing the way for faith in Him; and on the other hand, what were the elements of the Christian Gospel which had the greatest power of appeal in winning and changing the hearts of men.
