From the Paper:

"There are those who have alleged that the Anglican Church has forgotten its missionary responsibility In fact, quite the opposite is true; the Anglican Church acknowledges more than ever the need for missionary work; it acknowledges, too, the new approach to missionary work in that that mission is accomplished better today through deeds than a high profile visibility that serves to agitate and instigate violence. "A globe hangs from the ceiling of the church's two story entrance. Beneath it there is a miniature lighthouse urging members to 'share the light.' "The Wheaton Bible Church hasn't forgotten its missionary work, it, like so many other missionary organizations reaching out to the world today, just goes about it differently."
