No one was more radically critical of the ministry and the
inherited Church policy that surrounds it than Roland Allen
(1868-1949), whose prophetic writings constantly challenge the
whole mission of the Christian Church, and many of his most
important essays are collected here along with contributions about
him. After studying at Oxford, his clerical training was in Leeds.
He went as a missionary to China for the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel (SPG), where he stayed for twenty years.
His experience convinced him that missionary methods needed
changing, and that St Paul had more to offer than contemporary
practice, and in particular that ministry should be centred in the
laity. These ideas, unpopular at the time, have grown in
importance, and Roland Allen's influence is now greater than at any
time. In this volume, Paton, with the co-operation of Grubb and
King, has written on the central concerns of Allen's life and how
his witness gave rise to many fruitful enterprises in different
parts of the world. Many new writings of Allen's are included in
the volume, and Grubb tells the story of the Survey Application
Trust which, for over half a century played a formative and
pioneering part in the mission of the church. This title adds a lot
of new information and throws fresh light on the modern history of
many Christian enterprises, and extends current debate over the
role of the laity.
