Role of Present Day Missionary in 1976 Religion
A United Methodist Board report defines modern missionary work as evangelism linked with social witness. Leaders Ashburn and Jones urge action against tyranny and poverty, noting global hunger, human rights, and rights of ethnic minorities and women. Domestic missions include community centers, new congregations, and empowering ethnic groups, with concerns over racial representation and leadership. Retirement details note China ages 50 for women and 60 for men with 70 percent pay.
