Tom Bray USPG

Great, organized presentation on Thomas Bray, USPG, and SPG, etc. , which helped me to understand the importance of the organizations in today's world.
I was aware of the Books for Africa program to help build the libraries in places of the world with very limited school programs; but I had never realized the great help and the impact of the SPCK and SPG for religious leaders and laity around the world. This was a real "eye opener" for me. I now know where my library can go when I come to the "end of the trail"!!!
I also was so impressed by the philosophy and ideal goals of these organizations: advocacy against injustice, dialogue and cooperation between denominations, the mutual ministry approach, the cross-cultural emphasis, and the equal partnership as the ideal mission approach. Again, I am so impressed and proud of the Anglican heritage in these institutions.
