About eight study commissions were organized for Edinburgh 1910. Among the eight, three commissions of the Edinburgh conference had a special bearing on the growth of the ecumenical movement in the global South.
- The first Commission was carrying the Gospel to all the Non-Christian world.
- The second commission, “ The Church in the Mission field” stressed the development of what later were called the younger churches. The purpose was clearly to bring self-governing, self supporting churches in every field.
- The eighth commission directly dealt with “ Co-operation and promotion of Unity”.
It would be well worth to read the commission reports
