Abstract

Our series of articles on great missiologists has not yet brought forth a manuscript on the work of Rufus Anderson. Contributors take note! Meanwhile, Assistant Editor Mellis has drawn a few insights from Anderson on a single subject in which he has a particular interst (his book-length treatment of community-as-mission-structure is reviewed in this issue). While the emergence of voluntary societies, as the basic structure of the Protestant missionary movement, represented a measure of discontinuity with the Roman Catholic missionary orders, reflective leaders like Anderson still saw the continuing need for the kind of supportive, corrective community which has become a more strongly felt need in our day.
