[Missionary Survey As An Aid To Intelligent Co-Operation In Foreign Missions by Roland Allen]@TWC D-Link bookMissionary Survey As An Aid To Intelligent Co-Operation In Foreign Missions CHAPTER IX 2/10
Ignorance of the work done by others is the worst possible form of separation.
There is a sense in which it is true that the more remote the ecclesiastical position of another is from our own, the more near we are to definite opposition, the more important it is that we should know what his work is.
We may find in it so much to admire that our annoyance at what seem to us his ecclesiastical absurdities may be softened.
If we survey the district together we shall perhaps find there is room for both, even if we each start with the persuasion that there is no room for the other anywhere in the world. On no account must we fail to consider another's work.
In educational or medical work we must recognise that a school or a hospital which exists, by whomsoever created, in the district makes a difference to the situation.
