| Summary: |
Copy of a Trinity Theological Seminary PhD Thesis by David Anthony Huntley. 'An Understanding of the Methodology and Decision-Making Processes' behind the withdrawal of the CIM from China in 1951, following the Communist movement's gaining control of the country during 1949 and 1950, and its redepolyment as the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF) in East Asia. The thesis explores: the background situation in China; the history and 'in-house' ethos of the CIM; missionaries' reactions to the emergence of Communism in China and their expulsion; the influence of conferences at Kalorama, Bournemouth and near Melbourne on the decision to redeploy in East Asia and (with a chapter for each relevant country) the foundation, work and difficulties of OMF missions in East Asia.
