Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada

The Movement edited and published home and foreign mission study textbooks, helps for leaders, and maps, charts, libraries, and other accessory material for use by the boards in all departments of the local church.

In 1950, the Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada became affiliated with the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC).

[2] Established in 1901, it was incorporated at Silver Bay, New York in 1902, and evolved into the Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada in 1911.

A proposal to change the name was by the Board of Managers to a special committee, and after a year of careful study, it was unanimously voted to adopt the Missionary Education Movement, which the Supreme Court of New ordered to be effective July 10, 1911.

The former name not only suggested primary connection with young people's societies, but is also failed to indicate the comprehensive nature of the policies and objectives of the Movement.

This limitation was noticeable in practically all approaches to ministers or groups of laymen, when seeking cooperation in reference to any department of work.

Its activities include the planning and publishing of graded textbooks on mission study besides other interdenominational literature, and the holding of summer conferences and conducting of leaders' training institutes.

In the main, however, the Missionary Education Movement continued to function as a unit, retaining its own editorial, publishing and distributing organization.
