  Venn's American counterpart and secretary of ABCFM, Rufus Anderson, opposed the long held belief that civilization needed to precede evangelization.Instead, he stressed the supremacy of evangelization over civilization and asserted that social change would come as a consequence of the impact of the gospel (Beaver, 1979:95).Venn and Anderson are both credited for the development of the "three-self' triad, but even more, their focus was on establishing "indigenous" churches.
