In "Foreign Missions and World Peace," Samuel Billings Capen delivers a compelling address presented in Portland, Maine, on October 10, 1912. Capen, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century missionary movement, eloquently argues for the crucial role of foreign missions in fostering global peace. He posits that spreading Christian values and humanitarian efforts across borders is essential for creating a more harmonious and interconnected world.
This historical document offers valuable insights into the perspectives and motivations of those who believed in the power of religious missions to affect international relations and promote peace. Capenâ(TM)s address reflects the optimistic idealism of the era and provides a window into the social and political landscape of the time. It remains a significant resource for understanding the intersection of religion, diplomacy, and the pursuit of world peace in the early 20th century.
