Did you know about WMC’s (World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910) link with Chennai (Yes! the hot hotter, hottest place). I found the Chennai connection to Edinburgh 1910 interesting. Firstly, Chennai is where I live. I was born and raised here. I am basically a Chennai boy. Secondly, Chennai is geographically far removed from Edinburgh. And yet, there is an interesting connection.
The first steps for Missionary cooperation through conferences were initiated in mission fields of Asia, particularly China, Japan and India. However, the Third South India Conference (1900) held in CHENNAI was significant. Its careful preparation and development procedures were used in Edinburgh ten years later.
