    Inspiring Chinese and Americans Through Education Since 1901

    Yale-China ASSOCIATION Biennial Report 2005-2007 Yale-China Association Inspiring Chinese and Americans through education since 1901 For more than a century, the Yale-China Association has promoted understanding between Chinese and American people through the medium of education. Our programs in health, law, American Studies, English language instruction, and community and public service bring life-changing experiences to thousands of people each year. Teaching and learning are the heart of our work. Some of the highlights of the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2007 include: • Supporting the development of China’s non-profit sector by organizing comparative work- shops in Beijing and Guangzhou on civil society in China and the United States. The work- shops provided the opportunity for learning and exchange among more than 80 individuals including sociologists, anthropologists, activists, and founders of charities. • Expanding our Scholarship Program to give financial support to 1,369 Chinese undergrad- uates from disadvantaged backgrounds at Central South University and Hunan University in Changsha, Hunan. As a part of the expansion, the program now includes enhancement activities that are designed to expand students’ understanding of the world outside the class- room, strengthen their practical skills, and equip them with the confidence to succeed in school and after graduation. • Broadening the horizons of more than 1,200 secondary and university students in China through English classes taught by Yale-China Teaching Fellows, including an expansion of the program to Xiuning Middle School in Anhui province. • Building upon our Chia Family Health Fellowship Program to create the Chia Community Health Service & Health Education Program, designed to address unmet health needs among vulnerable populations in Hunan province.

    The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1

    The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1 Dr. Chris de Jong 1. Foreword An alteration in certain elements of a culture or the adaptation of a culture to changing circumstances is seldom attributable to the work of one individual, whichever way one judges these changes. All manner of forces and factors play a part, some perhaps less obviously than others, but together they form a network of cause and consequence, or rather causes and consequences, which it seems impossi- ble to disentangle. It is the task of historians, anthropologists and sociologists to unravel this tangled web, and to point out certain patterns which are fundamental in the processes of change which are being investigated. However, in spite of the complexity of facts and developments, it occasionally happens that one can identify a particular person who played such a significant role in a certain period of history that he or she merits special attention. Such a figure was the German teacher Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott, who from 1835 till long after his death in 1873 left his mark on the education of the indigenous population in the residency of Ambon. This essay is dedicated to this teacher, who was sent to the area by the Dutch Missionary Society (Nederlands Zendeling Genootschap, NZG).2 This essay begins with a brief sketch of the state of affairs in the Moluccas Roskott encountered when he arrived there in 1835. This is followed by a detailed account of his life and work. Finally I shall try to assess the signifi- B.N.J.

    Willard Livingstone Beard Was Born on February 5, 1865 in Western Connecticut (Shelton/Huntington)

    From Century Farm to Foochow The Beard Family Letters 1892 – 1950 and beyond How This Project Began Little did I know what I was in for… In the summer of 2004, our family drove to Crystal River, Florida to vacation with my husband’s parents, Jill and Charlie Jackson. Jill’s mother, Kathleen Beard Elmer, had died earlier that year at the age of 93 and Jill had a boxful of about 30 letters from Kathleen’s house that were written from China by Kathleen’s parents, Willard Livingstone and Ellen Lucy Kinney Beard, and other members of the family. Being interested in genealogy (and not having much success researching my Smith roots), my daughter, Jamie, and I looked through the letters and tried reading them. We found it challenging, not just because of the handwriting, but because of the age of the letters. And, Ellen had a tendency to write in the margins and every empty space available. We decided that one of us would read the letter while the other typed it up on the computer. In that way, we could save the letter and anyone else could read it more easily. Jill allowed us to take the letters home to Texas and we spent the rest of the summer transcribing these letters onto our computer. (At the time we didn’t realize there were more than 1,300 more letters still out there in various locations!) Thanks to the internet and search engines, I discovered that Oberlin College had some letters in their archives that had been left behind in Tank barn when Ellen went back to China in 1925.

  • Education and the Creation of Christian Emigre Communities

    Education and the Creation of Christian Emigre Communities

    CHAPTER II EDUCATION AND THE CREATION OF CHRISTIAN EMIGRE COMMUNITIES Education on a Western basis in the Ambonese islands began and remained associated with Christianity until the 20th century. The first schools in Christian negeri were established by the Portuguese. The number of schools operating when the Dutch assumed control is unclear, but the figures of 31 schools on Ambon and a further 26 in the Lease Islands have been men­ tioned.l It would appear from a story related by Rumphius of an exchange between the Ambonese raja and one of the VOC's servants, Cornelis Matelief, that the Ambonese had appreciated the education provided by the Portuguese and wished the Dutch to continue the practice. Matelief had asked the raja whether they had any complaints. The raja replied that they were pleased; the Dutch government was better than the Portuguese. However, they complained that they were not being educated. They had understood from the Dutch that the Portuguese religion was not good and accordingly they should be educated in better ways (cited in Van Wijk, MvO 1937:145-6). The VOC had assumed the Portuguese position for nearly two decades before they took much interest in the Ambonese Christian community. However, gradually an awareness developed that Christianity was a means of promoting the loyalty of the people to the new Christian rulers (Knaap 1987:85). The first clergyman to minister to the Ambonese arrived in 1614. In 1607, then more successfully in 1618, a school was established to educate Ambonese schoolmeesters (religious teachers; Malay: guru injil). By 1628 eighteen schools with more than 800 pupils had been created in negeri.

Through library research towards some important documents of the GPM, the researcher found out the development of theological perspectives of the GPM which are fundamental and important for the GPM in understanding other religions. In studying these documents, this study discovered that the position of the GPM as to other religions before the social conflict in 1999 and 2004 are differ significantly to that of after the social conflict. In the document of PIP/RIPP in the period of 1995 to 2005, before the social conflict, they described clearly that the GPM recognizes other religions as the object of its mission. In contrast, in the same document of the period of 2005 to 2015, after the social conflict, they state that the GPM embraces other religions as its partner. Even in the newest document of Ajaran Gereja GPM, they state that God in Jesus Christ is the Savior of all human beings without religious categories. These theological notions have a significant impact on the GPM in shaping its relation with other religions.
