The article focuses in particular on issues such as the fostering of the local clergy, the creation of a local episcopal hierarchy, the strategies of opposition to the Communist threat, the discomfort caused by the emergence of new – political and cultural - challenges to which many Western missionaries did not seem prepared at all.
