  • Christian Education and the Construction of Female Gentility in Modern East Asia
    religions Article Christian Education and the Construction of Female Gentility in Modern East Asia Jeesoon Hong Department of Chinese Culture, Sogang University, Seoul 04107, Korea; [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 1 August 2019; Published: 6 August 2019 Abstract: This study explores the relationship between Christian education and the construction of female gentility in East Asia around the turn of the twentieth century. Because American missionary schools played an important role in the region, notions of female gentility were greatly influenced by the cultural values of the American middle class and, more specifically, American liberal arts colleges. The notion of the “new gentlewoman” helps to illuminate modern Protestant womanhood’s ambiguous relationship with feminism and nationalism. Recognizing that the Protestant notion of “female gentility” was internally racialized, in this study, I also pay attention to the question of race. While the scope of my research spans East Asia, in this paper, I examine Christian education in China, focusing specifically on Yenching Women’s College. I compare the college’s educational goals and curricula to the pedagogy at the male college of Yenching, the governmental women’s college, and other female colleges in Japan and Korea. In this study, I approach East Asia as a whole for several reasons: first, because a broader view of the region helps put the Chinese case into perspective; second, because the region was often dealt with together in missionary work; and lastly, because national differences cannot be assumed to be more substantial than other differences, such as those based on gender, class, generation, period, and province.

  • In One Sacred Effort – Elements of an American Baptist Missiology
    In One Sacred Effort Elements of an American Baptist Missiology by Reid S. Trulson © Reid S. Trulson Revised February, 2017 1 American Baptist International Ministries was formed over two centuries ago by Baptists in the United States who believed that God was calling them to work together “in one sacred effort” to make disciples of all nations. Organized in 1814, it is the oldest Baptist international mission agency in North America and the second oldest in the world, following the Baptist Missionary Society formed in England in 1792 to send William and Dorothy Carey to India. International Ministries currently serves more than 1,800 short- term and long-term missionaries annually, bringing U.S. and Puerto Rico churches together with partners in 74 countries in ministries that tell the good news of Jesus Christ while meeting human needs. This is a review of the missiology exemplified by American Baptist International Ministries that has both emerged from and helped to shape American Baptist life. 2 American Baptists are better understood as a movement than an institution. Whether religious or secular, movements tend to be diverse, multi-directional and innovative. To retain their character and remain true to their core purpose beyond their first generation, movements must be able to do two seemingly opposite things. They must adopt dependable procedures while adapting to changing contexts. If they lose the balance between organization and innovation, most movements tend to become rigidly institutionalized or to break apart. Baptists have experienced both. For four centuries the American Baptist movement has borne its witness within the mosaic of Christianity.

  • 2020 Yearbook
    2020 YEARBOOK STANDING TOGETHER BY STAYING CONNECTED DIRECTORY GENERAL COUNCIL MINUTES STATISTICS NETWORKING THE BAPTIST FAMILY TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR CHRIST Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Baptist World Alliance mission statement is “Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” Core to this endeavor are ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships and ministry partnerships within the BWA family. Annually, since the late 1920s, the BWA has produced a Yearbook that is today shared with the conventions, unions, associations, and Baptist leaders actively involved in the BWA’s multifaceted ministry “to impact the world for Christ.” Across four sections, the Yearbook details the BWA organizational leadership and member bodies, provides the official account of the proceedings of BWA General Council meetings and the annual statistics of Baptists around the world, publishes financial statements and contribution reports as part of a commitment to financial integrity and transparency, and concludes with a directory of BWA Baptist leaders currently serving on BWA committees and commissions. The Yearbook is provided with the conviction that we are biblically called to encounter one another in loving fellowship and joyful collaboration. While asking for the responsible utilization of included information, it is expected that the Yearbook will enhance ministry partnerships. It is also hoped that the Yearbook will challenge us to pray more concretely for one another and to make direct contact that expresses solidarity with any BWA Baptist experiencing sorrow, hardship, or joy of any kind. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and BWA Baptists around the world. Thank you for your partnership in the mission of God.

  • William Carey: Did You Know? Little-Known Or Remarkable Facts About William Carey
    Issue 36: William Carey: 19th c. Missionary to India William Carey: Did You Know? Little-known or remarkable facts about William Carey Dr. R.E. Hedland is missionary lecturer for the Conservative Baptist Fellowship Mission Society in Mylapore, India. He is the author of The Mission of the Church in the World (Baker, 1991). William Carey translated the complete Bible into 6 languages, and portions into 29 others, yet he never attended the equivalent of high school or college. His work was so impressive, that in 1807, Brown University conferred a Doctor of Divinity degree on him. William Carey is often called the Father of Modern Protestant Missions. But the first European Protestant missionaries to Asia arrived almost a century before he did. By the time Carey established his mission community, there were thousands of Christians in a Pietist-led settlement in southern India. William Carey’s ministry sparked a new era in missions. One historian notes that his work is “a turning-point; it marks the entry of the English-speaking world on a large scale into the missionary enterprise—and it has been the English-speaking world which has provided four-fifths of the [Protestant] missionaries from the days of Carey until the present time.” Due to an illness, Carey lost most of his hair in his early twenties. He wore a wig for about ten more years in England, but on his way to India, he reportedly threw his wig in the ocean and never wore one again. This famous phrase is the best-known saying of William Carey, yet Carey never said it this way.

  • Christianity Transmission History and Contemporary Situation in China
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 18, Issue 6 .Ver. IV (Jun. 2016), PP 14-20 www.iosrjournals.org Christianity Transmission History and Contemporary Situation in China Ruihui Han1, 1Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China. Abstract: The Christianity is transmitted with faster speed than ever in recent years in China. The Christianity transmission in China has long history and many setbacks, especially in modern history of China. The missionaries tried different ways to propagate such religion and had little achievement, even such transmission incurred the slaughter. But after the reforming and opening policy, the Christianity is accepted more easily in China. The main form of the Christianity church is the house church, and the believers in the countryside accounts for the most part of the whole believers. There is increasing interest in the house church and Christianity in countryside, and those are also the key to understand the Christianity transmission in contemporary China. Keywords: Christianity; transmission; church house; rural areas; Boxer Rebellion. I. Introduction In the end of 19th century, the American missionary Arthur Henderson Smith published his Chinese Characteristics and believed that thespread of Christianity in Chinese countryside would bring about a series of positive changes in Chinese countryside. After 100 years, the spread of Christianity were fast and very popular. In the population of the Chinese Christians, 80% are in the Chinese countryside. The most common form of the church is the housechurch, which is not registered in the government so that the government can not supervise it effectively.

From 1987 or 1988 to 1996 or 1997 he held the Michael Gutteridge Chair in Theology and the position of Senior Tutor at Wesley House, Cambridge. In this period he was evidently frequently in touch with Revd Graham Kings, Henry Martyn Lecturer in Missiology (first Director of the Henry Martyn Centre) and appears to have made the original suggestion, in 1992, supported by Mr Kings (GRK 8/53p.3), to bring together on one site the HM Library books with those from his own ‘large personal collection’ and mission books from the four Federation colleges. The last element of happened only in part, but the Trust’s books were moved to a Westminster College in Autumn 1995 and were then or shortly after joined by Cracknell’s books and in 1997 250 volumes from Ridley Hall, where Kings had had his office.
