November 1-3, 2001

Return to Main Consultation page.
Goals:
1. Increase awareness of the importance of primary documentation for sound scholarly study of the Christian missionary movement and the value of that study to the Christian church in particular.
2. Encourage all independent missions to provide for the collection and preservation of the records of their work as a part of their stewardship in building the church and carrying out the Great Commission.
3. Encourage Christian educational institutions with programs for the training of missionaries to consider developing an archives that would preserve a segment of that part of mission history which is not currently being saved.
4. Develop guidelines that will be useful to mission agencies that desire to establish and maintain their own archives.
