Excerpt from Proceedings of the Southern Rhodesia Missionary Conference, Bulawayo, 1942
The Missionary Conference should normally have been held in June 1940. In view of the unsettled conditions owing to hostilities, however, the Executive Committee reluctantly decided that the usual biennial Conference be postponed sine die until things had become more normal. Increasingly, however, it was felt that it was desirable to meet, as the Missionary cause in general, and the fine spirit of fellowship and co-operation in particular, which had been built up during recent years through the regular Conferences, were suffering heavily. The Executive Committee therefore subsequently, decided as an act of faith to call a meeting in August 1942. The unexpectedly large number of delegates and the keen enthusiasm amply justified the Committee's action, and one went away with the feeling that much of real value would have been missed if the Con fer'ence had not met.
