The reason for missionary work was seen as lying in the explicitation of God's universal love whereby individual men, being brought within the history and conscious community of salvation, can respond more fully and deliberately. Father Hillman himself tackled some similar questions in Ecumenism and Grace, AFER (African Ecclesiastical Review), January 1966.
