Missionaries and Church Expansion Across Nations
American missionary accounts from Dr. Albert Schweitzer’s hospital on the Gabon border note wartime aid by Free French and American Red Cross. Dr. Mark A. Dawber urges churches to serve migrants as postwar movements rise, while Henry A. Wallace predicts a century of common rights and industrial growth for India, China, and Latin America. The Catholic Church has doubled priests serving Black communities in the U.S., including the Kineton chapel led by Rev. David Gannon. The Methodist Board of Missions has commissioned twenty-five young people as missionaries or deaconesses.
