Among the many non-Roman Catholic missionaries who came to the Pilippines at the beginning of yhe twentieth century Bishop Charles Henry Brent (1862 - 1929) was one of the most outstanding.
Bishop Brent was a pastor and a missionary, a lecturer and author, an administrator and organizer, a man of prayer and, perhaps most important of all, one of the funding figures in the ecumenical movement. Brent wrote twenty books. Most of them are devotional and inspirational rather than scholary.
