Letter Reod by Bishop Dun
Ends Honolulu Meeting
HONOLULU, Sept. IS (#).—
More than 3.000 delegates to
the 58th Protestant, Episcopal
general convention were leaving
Hawaii today after a 12-day
session described as “mlsslonary
mlnded.”
The convention adjourned
yesterday with the reading of
the House of Bishops pastoral
letter which urged “a deep
going reorientation’’ of Episco
pal mission activity In Asia.
The bishops said firmly that
missionary activity must be
aimed at development of strong,
independent churches in Asia—
“not outposts of our church.”
“Only in such away,” said
the letter, “can we radically un
dercut the Asian charge that
Christian missions are a part
of the Imperialist aggression of
the West.”
- The letter added:
) “The motive of our missions
1 must be cleansed of all pru
l dential desire to make Asia safe
r for America, and be rooted in
■ our concern under God for toe
hungers and needs of toe peo
| pies of Asia.
; "Plainly a deep-going reori
; entation in the method and spirit
of our mission is called for. Only
Asians can carry the main weight
in witnessing for Christ to
! Aslads.”
The letter, read to toe joint
session by the Right Rev. Angus
Dun. Bishop of Washington, D.
I C„ asserted "before God and
, man we can make no case for
; contempt and assumptions of
1 racial superiority.
“These are the deepest roots
of our alienation from Asia. For
