This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a sequel to A History of the Episcopal Church in Liberia 1821–1980 (1992). It is a narrative shaped by contexts—context of the Episcopal Church and its Christian witness through the episcopacies of Diocesan Bishops George Daniel Browne, Edward Wea Neufville II, and Jonathan B. B. Hart; the context of a modernizing Liberia plunged into unprecedented political violence by a military coup d’etat in 1980 and a devastating civil war that ensued and consumed the country for some 14 years; and the context of shifting external ties with the American Church, the Liberian Episcopal community in the United States, and the Church of the Anglican Province of West Africa. D. Elwood Dunn also examines what the church’s contemporary history uncovers about Liberia’s social history in its juxtaposition of national identity issues with religious syncretism (a mixture of African traditional religions, Islam, some elements of Christianity, and basic human secularism), while suggesting challenges for the Episcopal Church’s Christian witness going forward. All of this is done in four concise chapters successively addressing the episcopate of Bishop Browne, a critical interregnum period between Browne and his successor, Bishop Neufville, the episcopate of Neufville, and initiating the episcopate of incumbent Bishop Hart. This is followed by a general conclusion and assessment of the church’s work. The study ends with an epilogue on the Episcopal Church that was, the Church that is, and the Church of the future.

This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the result of the missionary efforts of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (DMFS) of The Protestant Episcopal Church USA in Liberia, from 1821 to 1871? What were the impacts (positive and negative) of early missionary work on the Liberian people (indigenous and settlers, alike)? Learn about how the white missionaries, black American settlers and African natives interacted during the early period of missionary activities. Due to the non-collaborative method, inadequate leadership approach, and poor conflict resolution style used by early white missionaries, what sort of Episcopal Church was established in Liberia? I believe that the DFMS/TEC, the Episcopal Church of Liberia (ECL), churches, ministries and individuals venturing to do missionary work (local and foreign), can always learn valuable lessons. This book serves as a tool that enhances the work of "evangelism and mission" in the world (Missiology). "Fr. Yarsiah has made a valuable contribution to Church history in his important book titled "The Episcopal Church - Early Missionaries in Liberia 1821-1871" An illuminating read. Prof. D.

Yarsiah, Ph.d. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical and evaluative research that describes the differential effects that the early missionary work of the Protestant Episcopal Church USA had among indigenous/natives and the settlers/colonists societies in Liberia, from 1821 to 1871. We have sought to uncover the strategies implemented and the results attained by the early American missionaries who struggled to plant the Protestant Episcopal Church among indigenous Africans and black American emigrants in early 19th century Liberia. The native peoples, black returnees from America and white missionaries, each, played a significant role during the early years of missionary activities in Liberia. While we applauded the missionary efforts of the DFMS to evangelize and establish the Episcopal Church in Liberia, we also scrutinize the approach and method used to institutionalize the Protestant Episcopal Church in Liberia, without much alteration or revision. Three groups of people and cultures, the American missionaries (who were mostly white), the black settlers/colonists (Africans who were repatriated from America) and the natives (indigenous tribal people who inhabited the land prior to the arrival of the settlers and missionaries) influenced the planting of Christianity and the establishment, growth and development of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Liberia. Racial, cultural, social, political and religious differences existed among these groups of people and their relationship was characterized by prejudices, falsehood, distorted assumptions, deep-rooted suspicions, misperceptions, constant misunderstandings, conflicts, etc. Upon their arrival in Africa, many of the black colonists made efforts to create a class system in Liberia, in which the natives were treated as second-class citizens and with disrespect. As a result, there were frequent tensions that often resulted into frictions and sometimes led to violent confrontations between the settlers and indigenous Liberians.
