Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presbyterian Foreign Missions: An Account of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A The Bishop of Durham, whose devotion of his sons to the mission work in India has given evidence of the depth of his own interest in missions, recommended some time ago to the clergy of his diocese the study of the present conquests of the Cross. Scarcely any other study can be so fruitful in quickening spiritual purpose and confirming Christian faith. What the mission work is accomplishing is intelligible only in the light of the presence in it of the living power of God. The whole work of missions, however, is too great for Christians any longer to comprehend. Each one must make selection of those phases of it which are of most interest and significance to him. Whatever else may be included in such a selection, we surely must not pass over the mission work of our own Church. Histories of the missions of the various churches make this kind of study possible, and they also give hopeful proof of the power and extent of the missionary enterprise. This little volume is intended to meet the needs of Presbyterians in this regard, and to provide for others who may wish it a brief account of the foreign missionary work of the Presbyterian Church.

Download or read book North American Foreign Missions 1810 1914 written by Wilbert R. Shenk and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1810 marks the start of the North American foreign missions movement -- a movement begun with typical American enthusiasm and vigor but in need of practical grounding. This volume explores important facets of the development of North American foreign missions, paying particular attention to the role agencies like the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) played in shaping the theology, theory, and policy of evangelistic activities overseas. Written by leading experts on missions and religious history, this volume is distinguished by its focus on key events taking place at the home base rather than on happenings in the foreign mission field. In doing so, these insightful studies shed light on important yet neglected topics, including the impact of debates about slavery on foreign missions, the emergence of distinctive mission strategies for women, the role of the social gospel as a missionary ideology, and the contribution of foreign missions to the creation of a global evangelical network.

Download or read book American Doctors in Canton written by Guangqiu Xu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Chinese medicine developed over thousands of years, but changes introduced from 1835-1935 by American missionary doctors initiated a landslide of cultural revolution in the city of Canton and medical modernization throughout China. Focusing on medical missionaries' ideas and approaches in a principal city of the period, Canton, Guangqiu Xu, a native of Canton, describes the long-term impact of American models of medical work, which are still in place in China today. Despite stiff resistance to change and Chinese suspicion of foreign ideas, the impact of American medical missionaries was profound. They opened medical schools, trained modern doctors, and promoted public health education. These transformations in turn led to major social movements in the modernization of Canton, such as the women's rights movement, modern charity and welfare systems, and modern hygiene campaigns. This book focuses on the changes American doctors brought to Canton, their implementation, what remains of their influence today, and how some of these transformations have spread across China. It shows that the Chinese have themselves become more responsive to cultural relations with the US as part of the acceptance of these changes, and demonstrates how the unique blend of modern Western and traditional Chinese medicines has helped modernize China and make Canton the cradle of modern reform and revolution in China.

Download or read book The Home Base of American China Missions 1880 1920 written by Valentin Rabe and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the closing decades of the nineteenth century, approximately two dozen Protestant mission societies, which since 1812 had been sending Americans abroad to evangelize non-Christians, coordinated their enterprise and expanded their operations with unprecedented urgency and efficiency. Ambitious innovations characterized the work in traditional and new foreign mission fields, but the most radical changes occurred in the institutionalization of what contemporaries referred to as the home base of the mission movement. Valentin Rabe focuses on the recruitment of personnel, fundraising, administration, promotional propaganda, and other logistical problems faced by the agencies in the United States. When generalizations concerning the American base require demonstration or references to the field of operations, China—the country in which American missionaries applied the greatest proportion of the movement’s resources by the 1920s—is used as the primary illustration."
Download or read book Word across the Water written by Tom Smith and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Word Across the Water, Tom Smith brings the histories of Hawai'i and the Philippines together to argue that US imperial ambitions towards these Pacific archipelagos were deeply intertwined with the work of American Protestant missionaries. As self-styled interpreters of history, missionaries produced narratives to stoke interest in their cause, locating US imperial interventions and their own evangelistic projects within divinely ordained historical trajectories. As missionaries worked in the shadow of their nation's empire, however, their religiously inflected historical narratives came to serve an alternative purpose. They emerged as a way for missionaries to negotiate their own status between the imperial and the local and to come to terms with the diverse spaces, peoples, and traditions of historical narration that they encountered across different island groups. Word Across the Water encourages scholars of empire and religion alike to acknowledge both the pernicious nature of imperial claims over oceanic space underpinned by religious and historical arguments, and the fragility of those claims on the ground.
