Evangelicalism Half A Century Ago

Collection 597, the papers of Clyde W Taylor, includes reports of a trip he and J. Elwin Wright made around the world in 1950-1951. They had both played important parts in organizing the World Evangelical Fellowship, an international association which was met to provide a network of contacts and support for Protestant Evangelical Christians in many countries. In 1951, Taylor and Wright visited Evangelical Fellowships Asia and the Middle East. Their reports back to the WEF provide a snapshot of Evangelicalism around the world just after World War II, as a new generation of indigenous leaders were replacing the previous generation of missionary leaders.
