TitleLetter from Rhenius to [G. J.] Casamajor: 7 October 1818: [Madras]
Extent1 doc.
Date1818
DescriptionWrites privately to explain reasons for opposition to committee's resolution [relating to publication of tracts without sanction of committee]; the right to write tracts is the same as the right to preach and neither can be submitted to human authority; willing to inform the committee but not to submit to correction or approbation; feels the relationship between the committee and the missionaries is "nearly incompatible with the true spirit of missions", being too commanding where "all are free and voluntary agents".
