Bailey] At the end of August 1914, with German troops having violated Belgian neutrality and rapidly advancing toward Paris, German Protestants made a desperate bid for a show of solidarity from the Protestant majority of Britain and the Protestant minority of France. In an "Appeal to Protestant Christians Abroad” leaders of the German Protestant missions movement expressed their hope that the war would not spread to Africa nor result in an "incurable rent” in the Protestant fellowship. Recalling the spirit of cooperation at the international Missionary Conference of Edinburgh in 1910 they urged that the mission fields not become battlefields, lest the gospel message of love be discredited in the eyes of the heathen.1 Copyright © American Society of Church History 1989 Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture Cambridge University Press 58/1(1989-03), 66-82 0009-6407 58:1<66 1989 58 CHH https://doi.org/10.2307/3167679 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.2307/3167679 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Bailey Charles E. professor of history in Adirondack Community College (State University of New York), Glens Falls, New York NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture Cambridge University Press 58/1(1989-03), 66-82 0009-6407 58:1<66 1989 58 CHH CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-cambridge
