| Admin history: |
The West Indies and West Africa Sub-committee was created in 1903. Prior to the creation of this sub-committee a number of ad-hoc committees had been created by the General Committee to assist with the management of missions in West Africa and the Caribbean & Americas. Moreover, mission work in the West Indies districts (with the exception of the Bahamas and Honduras) between 1885 and 1903 had been the responsibility of the independent West Indies Conference. Much of the sub-committee's initial business relates to the return of those districts to the British Conference. In 1912 the Western Committee assumed the reponsibilities of the West Indies and West Africa Sub-committee. |
