Softcover. [3], 153 p.; line map of dioceses inside front wrapper; 21.5 cm. Committee incl. Clifford P. Morehouse, Powell Mills Dawley. 'The title of this book is Empty Shoes, a phrase used more than a century ago by William Carey, cobbler turned missionary, to describe his impression of India. "No shoes" might have been an even better title, since bare feet are the rule both indoors and out. .As a mark of courtesy Western visitors are usually allowed to keep their shoes on when entering a Christian church, but not when entering a Hindu temple. Empty Shoes might well be the symbol for a new nation emerging in great travail, ready to walk in the shoes of destiny, empty so long or walked in by others. Empty Shoes might also be the symbol of a new unity of God's Church formed to fit the restless, poverty-stricken millions of Asia, shod at long last "with the preparation of the gospel of peace."' (p. 9 f.) -- 'Empty Shoes has been prepared to enable people better to understand the Church of South India and to develop convictions about it. The book purposefully is laden with facts, with reports of conferences, and with a host of names and dates.' (p. 139) VG, sewn, in orig. black and green on white wrapper.
