Please: No more liberal missionaries!

      "Miss [Dora/Cidu] Yü’s appeal to those who had any influence with Mission Boards, to do their utmost to stop the sending out of any more Modernist missionaries to her land will not easily be forgotten."

     W. H. Aldis, "The Keswick Convention," China’s millions 53 =n.s. 35 (September 1927):  142 (142-143).  This would have been Yu's address to the Keswick Convention[’s International Missionary Meeting?] on Wednesday afternoon, 20 July 1927.  I capture this here in case I never find the full-text.  For more detail on this, see Mark A. Noll & Carolyn Nystrom, Clouds of witnesses:  Christian voices from Africa and Asia (Downers Grove, IL:  IVP Books, 2011), 197-198:  Yu "particularly targeted teachings that opposed Christ's incarnation and divinity, his atoning work through death and resurrection, and his second coming."  See also The
Christian (London, England : 1870), July 28, 1927, p. 23, where there is another (mere) report, also focused on the terms Modernism and Modernist.  My thanks to my colleague Esther Cen for enlisting me in this search.

"our conception of humankind is too anthropomorphic"

"our conception of humankind is too anthropomorphic, too narrowly defined--as physical, mental, or moral--as moral, either damned or saved, but not as the overwhelming power we are as creature, as species", "collective[ly], collaborative[ly]."
