Arranged in five sections: Standing Committee, Home Council,
Area Files, Literature and Medical, and Cooperative Work. The
Conference of British Missionary Societies was founded in 1912 as
a direct result of the 1910 World Missionary Conference at
Edinburgh, Scotland. The World Conference had established a
Continuation Committee whose goal was to stimulate the foundation
of national cooperative councils for mission. The CBMS, however,
was not itself a missionary society. It served an important
function for cooperation between missionary organizations at home
and abroad. The collection documents the activities of the CBMS
for the period 1912-1954. Material pertaining to the Standing
Committee includes annual reports, issues of the Edinburgh House
Bulletin and triennial policy groups devoted to the study of
particular aspects of missionary purpose and policy. The Home
Council material documents the education for mission of British
churches, recruiting and training of missionaries. Area files
contain correspondence with national Christian councils in Africa,
the Near and Middle East, the West Indies and Asia. The Literature
and Medical Sections provide information on the provision of
literature overseas and on the financing and staffing of
missionary medical institutions. Material on cooperative work
reflects the CBMS' international and national contacts with other
missionary bodies. The collection is important for studying the
cooperation between missionary organizations and the religious,
social and political climate in Britain and many other nations.
