Sinopsis
Excerpt from Devolution in Mission Administration: As Exemplified by the Legislative History of Five American Missionary Societies in India
There are, then, two general types of institutions on the mission field - the well-developed missionary organizations long intrenched in the consciousness of the West, and the young Church constantly grow ing in numbers, organization and sense of corporate life. If the emphasis of the Nineteenth Century has been on the Mission, that of the Twentieth will undoubtedly be upon the Church in the Mission Field. And yet so recently as four years ago the chairman of the Edinburgh Commission II - which more than any other one thing has made this Church the focal center of mission thought - ventured to say that even Christian missionaries, and still less those who look on from without, scarcely under stand that we are no longer to be the leaders but the allies Of the Church of Christ in the Mission Field.

Excerpt from Devolution in Mission Administration: As Exemplified by the Legislative History of Five American Missionary Societies in India
"Devolution" is used to indicate the act of devolving, transferring or handling over. In the literature of missions it is increasingly used to denote the transfer of powers, authority and responsibilities from foreign Churches and Missions to indigenous organizations. Where the process is in active operation, as in South India, the word has a place in popular missionary usage. "Devolution" and "euthanasia of the Mission" are expressions that stand for attitudes and practice more and more necessary and prevalent amongst missionaries in oriental countries.
The use of the word "native" has been avoided whenever this could be done without too great circumlocution. When a Government Memorandum for its Civil Service finds it necessary to warn its officers against the use of this word since it "is now frequently resented and should be avoided" (129.1) it is fitting that the Church should not err in this regard. The word will appear, however, in the quotations made from times when the word bore no derogatory connotation; and there has been no hesitation to use it in this study where an inclusive term was needed, but where the expressions "local," "indigenous," "national," or the phrase "the Church in the Mission Field," did not meet the need.
