  • The Western Lives of American Missionary Women in China (1860-1920)
    CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 31, 2014 CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. MALS Mentor: Kazuko Uchimura, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Kate Roberts Hearn was buried in a Shanghai cemetery in 1891, a short four years after her acceptance into the Women’s Missionary Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1873, Charlotte “Lottie” Moon left for a new life in China as a single missionary woman. She served in that country for nearly 40 years, dying aboard ship on a final return voyage to the United States. Both women left their American homes expecting to convert the people of an alien land to Christianity. They also arrived in China prepared to maintain their Western rituals and comforts, which effectively separated them from the Chinese and cultivated a sense of the “Other.” In this way, missionary women came to convert, but were not converted themselves. Missionary communities, specifically missionary women, vigorously sought to maintain domestic and work lifestyles anchored in Western culture. The rise of “domesticity” in the nineteenth century gave women an influential role as a graceful redeemer, able to transform “heathens” by demonstrating civilized values of a Christian home, complete with Western elements of cleanliness, companionable marriage, and the paraphernalia of Victorian life, such as pianos in the parlor.

  • Three Missionary Profiles the Life of Lottie Moon
    http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/ Here’s a “readers’ theatre” look at some missionaries. It can be used in a classroom with or without practice. All you need are some good readers. Three Missionary Profiles These brief plays profile the lives of Lottie Moon, C.T. Studd and the Hudson Taylors. It was originally performed as a single play in three acts. However, it can easily be broken up and performed or read as three separate one-act plays. These portrayals show these missionaries as real people with warts and frailties. It is hoped that people, on seeing these performances, will realize that one need not be a saint to go into global missions work. This play may be performed without charge by any school, church or religious group, provided no more than 5% of its original content is changed. Copyright © 1996 David Prata The Life of Lottie Moon Written by David Prata ANNOUNCER: (offstage) Lottie Moon was born in 1840 in Virginia where she grew up on her family's tobacco plantation. Some have said that a divine calling, an adventuresome spirit and a feminist impulse were the main factors in the nineteenth century that created a surge of single women into world missions. Indeed, those three things -- a sense of calling, adventuresome spirit and a feminist impluse -- were what thrust Lottie Moon into a fruitful life of missionary service. LOTTIE: (Entering from stage left, looking up for the voice of the announcer) Excuse me, but you are leaving a few things out. ANNOUNCER: And who, madam might you be? LOTTIE: I might be your great aunt Minnie, but as it happens, I am Lottie Moon, and I will tell this story myself if you don't mind, sir.

  • China – Home to 1
    CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Lesson 91 Chinese Missions – The Christian Faith Goes East China is home to 1.3 billion people, the most populated country on the globe. Have you ever wondered how many Christians are there? The estimates vary, but seem to be somewhere between at least 20 million and perhaps as many as 100 million.1 Where did all those Christians come from, especially in a communist country? The answers to those questions come from stories of church history, many that we know, and many more lost to the pages of history. We will look at a general narrative overview of China and Christianity, and then probe the stories of three key individuals in the development of Chinese Christianity today. Through these stories, we find that God has worked through human difficulties and frailties, politically and personally, to bring growth to his Church. It is important that we realize that while these stories center on China, there are similar stories that would apply to the others countries of Asia, Africa, and the world. Since Jesus commissioned his apostles to “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15), the church has worked toward that end. The net result is a faith that is spreading around the globe, validating the word of God that through the seed of Abraham, “all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 18:18; Gal. 3:8). Today, we see the work of God in China. CHINA – CHRISTIAN OVERVIEW Ruth Tucker, a Missions Professor at Calvin Theological Seminary, gives four stages of Christianity’s arrival into China.

This followed a 28 month renovation and expansion of the facility. This $70.5 million project was financed by bonded funds provided by the existing 2% Little Rock Advertising & Promotion tax. The project was approved by Little Rock voters by special election on December 10, 2013. The design team was led by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects of Little Rock and Ennead Architects of New York. CDI/Hunt Joint Venture served as the General Contractor and Construction Manager. The building was originally designed by the firm of Wittenberg & Delony working with Eugene Stern. The building was named for longtime Arkansas Senator Joseph T. Robinson, who died in July 1937, prior to the start of the construction in December 1937. The project was originally funded by the New Deal’s Public Works Administration. The building’s exterior and historic lobby were restored and the essential character of the landmark building enhanced.
