"The present publication offers a selected list of institutions in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America which were chosen preferably by African and Asian Churches for the training and education of Christian communicators during the last 10 years owing to their professional standards or special sui

hroughout the country, with information collected through questionnaires to the end of 1983, and a few from early 1984. Information for each entry includes name in both Chinese and English, address, telephone, date founded, subject/s (where pertinent) or whatever brief background information is useful.

s well as commercial printers, throughout Africa, South Africa excepted for the last name group." In all, 4,621 institutions and organizations are represented. Data varies according to the type of organization or institution and completeness and accuracy also vary because, the editors tell us, 45 percent of addresses failed to update their entries or retum the questionnaire. These cases are indicated with a dagger or asterisk. Even so, it provides a formidable amount of information. Librarians proved the best respondents; consequently data about libraries is more likely to be the most complete. Arrangement is alphabetical by country.
