in his book The Liquidation of Adams College, and later in his memoirs. After apartheid ended in the 1990s, the school was restored as Adams College. Missionary work Grant and his wife spent a year in Nigeria working for the International Missionary Council, organising an all-Africa Christian conference, which was held in Nigeria in 1958 and led to the formation of the All Africa Conference of Churches. They then returned to Rhodesia to do missionary work. In their work they frequently found themselves at odds with the colonial authorities in their attitudes to the position of blacks in Rhodesian society. Their difficulties increased with the advent in 1965 of the Ian Smith government and its racial policies. In the early 1960s they opened the first private multi-racial school in Rhodesia, in Chikore, about 130 km east of Salisbury. They helped to create and run a charitable organisation called Christian Care to help the families of political detainees – including paying school fees and rent, helping wives visit their husbands in detention camps, and distributing clothing from overseas donations. Eventually, returning to Rhodesia in 1975 after some time abroad, they were refused permission to re-enter the country. Retirement After spells teaching at Woodbrooke Selly Oak Colleges in England and the United Church Missionary Residence in Auburndale, Massachusetts, Grant and Ida retired to Cambridge. Grant had agreed to be Christian Aid secretary for the Cambridge area, but died suddenly in hospital there before he could begin, aged 71.
