Did the Global South make any difference at Edinburgh 1910?

Despite being small in numbers, the Global South did make a notable contribution at Edinburgh 1910. The impact of their contribution is seen in the representation of the global South in the next conference in 1928. At Jerusalem 1928, over twenty five percent of those attending were nationals of the younger churches sent by their own National Christian Councils. And more importantly, the chief focus was no longer the missionary enterprise (foreign missions) but rather the relevant message of the younger churches in the context of non-Christian systems of thought.
