This historical study analyzes the revolutionary events of the late sixties and early seventies that fundamentally changed the character and aims of the World Student Christian Federation, one of the church's most influential pioneer ecumenical organizations. Based on original, unpublished documentation and Risto Lehtonen's own firsthand observation, this volume chronicles the engaging course of events from 1968 to 1973 that created intellectual and ideological turmoil in universities, churches, and ecumenical organizations around the world -- events that continue to have repercussions in ecumenical debates today.
