From its inception, the Asia Pacific Baptist Federation has been composed of members from both the Asia and Pacific regions of the world, making us the largest regional body of the BWA. But rarely have we organized programmes in the Pacific, except when we had the 3rd APBF Congress at Sydney Australia in 1988 or when APBF officials have visited and organized events specific to the member convention in the Pacific. Considering the great span of earth (mostly water) that the Pacific is composed of, and the fact that there are very few contact with Baptists and even other Christians in the nations of the Pacific islands, the APBF Executive Committee in its meeting at Jogjakarta, Indonesia on January 30 & 31, 2015 decided to hold its next meeting in 2016 at Fiji, and concurrently organize a conference to be named Pacific Baptist Forum, from February 1 -3, 2016 under the theme – ‘Strengthening the Pacific Church and motivating the churches to participate in God’s Mission’. To this Forum were invited Baptist leaders from the various Island nations, for which assistance on locating them is being sought from Australian, New Zealand and Hawaii Baptists who have historic connections. This resulted in more than 150+ participants attending the Pacific Baptist forum from more than sixteen countries, including Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and the USA, West Papua and Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India What follows in this document is the compilation of the presentations, as well the feedback from the participants in the Forum as to the opportunities and way forward in strengthening the Pacific Church and motivating the churches to participate in God’s Mission. We all came away from the Forum truly inspired and excited about what the God is already doing in the Pacific and the opportunities to participate in His mission, in all its forms, by sharing the good news of the Gospel to the peoples

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Protestant Missions, Seminaries and the Academic Study of Islam in the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies by Caleb D. McCarthy Committee in charge: Professor Juan E. Campo, Chair Professor Kathleen M. Moore Professor Ann Taves June 2018 The dissertation of Caleb D. McCarthy is approved. _____________________________________________ Kathleen M. Moore _____________________________________________ Ann Taves _____________________________________________ Juan E. Campo, Committee Chair June 2018 Protestant Missions, Seminaries and the Academic Study of Islam in the United States Copyright © 2018 by Caleb D. McCarthy iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While the production of a dissertation is commonly idealized as a solitary act of scholarly virtuosity, the reality might be better expressed with slight emendation to the oft- quoted proverb, “it takes a village to write a dissertation.” This particular dissertation at least exists only in light of the significant support I have received over the years. To my dissertation committee Ann Taves, Kathleen Moore and, especially, advisor Juan Campo, I extend my thanks for their productive advice and critique along the way. They are the most prominent among many faculty members who have encouraged my scholarly development. I am also indebted to the Council on Information and Library Research of the Andrew C. Mellon Foundation, which funded the bulk of my archival research – without their support this project would not have been possible. Likewise, I am grateful to the numerous librarians and archivists who guided me through their collections – in particular, UCSB’s retired Middle East librarian Meryle Gaston, and the Near East School of Theology in Beriut’s former librarian Christine Linder.
