Edinburgh in 1910

1910 World Missionary Conference, a.k.a. Edinburgh Missionary Conference
The culmination of nineteenth-century Protestant Christian missions and the formal beginning of the modern Protestant Christian ecumenical movement. No Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic missionary organizations were invited.

"The structure of the WCC was determined by Protestant problems mainly in the missionary field. Protestantism divided its converts into confessional groups, whereas these same converts had been united religiously as pagans. A "World Missionary Conference" was held in Edinburgh in 1910 to study these and other such problems and ways of overcoming them."
