Administrative / biographical background

The Research Department of the Overseas Council was formed in 1959 under the charge of C.R. Hemsman, Research Secretary. In a report written for the Annual Meeting of the Overseas Council in 1959, the Secretary wrote that in the first instance the work of the Research Department would be to 'seek to persuade Anglican theologicans to pay more attention than they have done to Missionary Issues', and also to prepare for a Missionary Research Seminar to be held at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, 20-23 September 1960.
