World Survey of Catholic Leprosy Work, a Case Study in Christian Technical Cooperation

摘要

This monograph is the first complete objective study of Catholic leprosy work ever prepared for the general public. It is the work of Mr. Raphael Brown, Franciscan tertiary, who intended it to serve as a broad statistical introduction to the subject of Catholic leprosy work as a whole. In making the survey he sent out a questionnaire in English and French to Bishops, priests, Brothers, and Sisters in every area of the world who were concerned with the care of those afflicted with leprosy, more properly called Hansen's disease. It is needless to say that without the wholehearted cooperation of these Catholic missionaries, the study could not have been made.
