scb_admin_history The Emergency Committee first met on 28 September 1939 as a direct result of the outbreak of the Second World War. It temporarily replaced the Finance & General Purposes, Eastern and Western committees, whilst it was left to the discretion of the WMMS Officers as to when the Home Organisation Committee should meet. Until March 1940 the Emergency Committee directly undertook the work of the Eastern Committee and Western Committee and until September 1941 the work of the Finance & General Purposes Committee (although some joint meetings with said committees continued on until July 1942). The Emergency Committee's work concentrated on the appointment of officers, financial matters and the movement of missionaries.
