| Résumé: | The Laymen’s Foreign Missions Inquiry was an ambitious attempt by seven mainline Protestant denominations to evaluate the state of American foreign missions in 1931–32. It consisted of two parts, a fact-finding mission and the Commission of Appraisal, the findings of which are known as the Hocking Report. The Report stirred quite a bit of controversy and helped shape American Protestant missions for years to come. This article is based on a collection of letters written by the secretary of the Commission; it offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the Commission as it traveled around the world. |
