Abstract
Discusses the phenomenology of tradition, of development and of change as applied to an aid programmeme in Fiji, while tracing a parallelism between Christianization and world development as a central theme. Emphasizes the implementation of the YMCA rural work programme as a relationship between the international agency and the recipient community through the rural worker as native agent. The development aid programme is seen as analogous to the missionization of Fiji. Includes a bibliography.
