From 1940 to 1946, Roger Cowan Wilson was General Secretary and
Travelling Commissioner of the Friends Relief Service. Soon after
his wartime experience, in 1949 he delivered the Swarthmore
Lecture, and applied his clear thinking and his understanding of
Quaker processes to examine how a religious concern can be made
manifest in practical work, and what needs to be considered so that
this can be organised. 'The true "concern" is a gift from God, a
leading of his Spirit which may not be denied.' How is the
authority for this held by a human organisation? What kind of
people does it need to lead and carry out its work? Subtitled 'A
study in motive and administration in Quaker relief work',
Authority, Leadership and Concern was soon recognised as an
essential book, was reprinted in 1970, and is still valuable in the
next century.
