Excerpt from Proceedings of the Southern Rhodesia Missionary Conference: Bulawayo, June 1938
The size of the Southern Rhodesia Missionary Conference has made it increasingly difficult during recent years to procure hospitality for the delegates, and members of the Conference had begun to take it as a matter of course that they had to find and pay for their own accommodation. It came as a welcome surprise, therefore, when it was announced that the Ministers' Fraternal of Bulawayo had fraternally taken it upon themselves to provide hospitality for those wishing to attend the Conference. It was indeed no small undertaking, and all praise is due to those who had to organize matters, that everything went so smoothly. Dele gates attending the Bulawayo Conference will long have reason to remember the three days there, and not least for the splendid hospitality so generously provided by the Bulawayo friends.
The Bulawayo Conference will also be remembered for an innovation - a one-day joint session with the Native Missionary Conference - a new development, the far-reaching effects of which can yet hardly be visualized. The potential value of such a joint meeting could be readily sensed even in this first gathering of its kind, in spite of the fact that everything was new, and members of both Conferences were consciously feeling their way. Thought fully organized and sympathetically guided, however, one can easily forsee of what tremendous significance such a joint session may become in the solution of the many problems incidental to Missionary work.
