Obviously, not all of these facts were filled out by every country, and in a few cases, countries failed to reply at all, but nevertheless the total adds up to a great deal of data. In addition, the first volume has an international section in which much of the information in that volume is summarized under these same categories." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.

Ganz besonders sollen die katechenischen und pastoralen Zentren in den Missionsländern für eine internationale Zusammenarbeit auf diesem Gebiet gewonnen werden." (Seite 45)
