Bebbington 28 November 2012 I, Fredrick A. Aldridge Jr, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. ii Acknowledgements In the course of researching and writing this thesis I benefited from the assistance of a long list of Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT) and SIL International (SIL) (formerly the Summer Institute of Linguistics) members, all of whom generously gave of their time and candidly shared their experiences. To Tom Headland goes particular appreciation for his encouragement, provision of obscure documents and many hours of answering inquisitive questions. Likewise I am indebted to Cal Hibbard, the archivist for the Townsend Archives, for his help on numerous occasions. Cal’s labours to collect, organize and preserve Townsend’s voluminous correspondence over the past several decades has rendered to historians a veritable goldmine. I also wish to thank WBT and SIL for granting me an extended study leave to pursue this research project. And I am especially grateful to WBT and SIL for the complete and unfettered access to the organization’s archives and for permitting me the freedom to research the development of the organization wherever the sources led. The staff and faculty at the University of Stirling were ever helpful.

  • The Transition from the Africa Inland Mission to the Africa Inland Church in Kenya, 1939-1975
    The Transition from the Africa Inland Mission to the Africa Inland Church in Kenya, 1939-1975 F. Lionel Young III Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History and Politics University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 1 March 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between the Africa Inland Mission (AIM) and the Africa Inland Church (AIC) in Kenya between 1939 and 1975. AIM began laying plans for an African denomination in Kenya in 1939 and established the Africa Inland Church in 1943. The mission did not clearly define the nature of its relationship with the church it founded. The arrangement was informal, and evolved over time. In addition, the relationship between the AIM and the AIC between 1939 and 1975 was often troubled. African independent churches were formed in the 1940s because of dissatisfaction over AIM policies. The mission opposed devolution in the 1950s, even when other mission societies were following this policy in preparation for independence in Kenya. AIM continued to resist a mission church merger in the 1960s and did not hand over properties and powers to the church until 1971. The study will focus on how the mission’s relationship with the church it founded evolved during this period. It will consider how mission principles and policies created tension in the relationship with the church it founded. First, it will examine how mission policy contributed to significant schisms in the 1940s, giving rise to African independent churches. Second, it will look at how AIM interpreted and responded to post-war religious, political and social changes in Kenya.

  • The Christian and Missionary Alliance: an Annotated Bibliography of Textual Sources
    H. D. (Sandy) Ayer was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, in 1952 and grew up in the semi-wilderness of Kitimat, B.C., where he acquired his love of nature. Following his graduation from library school in 1984, he and his wife Diane moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, where Sandy began work as director of library services at Canadian Bible College/Canadian Theological Seminary. His interest in Alliance bibliography stems from his roles as institutional archivist and administrator of the library’s special collection in Allianceana and his love of collecting things. The 6' 8' author has the distinction of being perhaps the world’s tallest theological librarian. He and Diane have two children, Adam, 15, and Hannah, 12. Sandy reads to relax and birds for excitement. If he were ever to write another book, it would be about his experiences as a birder. The Christian and Missionary Alliance: An Annotated Bibliography of Textual Sources H. D. (Sandy) Ayer 7 Dedication Dedicated to John Sawin, Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor, missionary to Vietnam, archivist, historian, and bibliographer. John’s passion for early Allianceana led him to collect, organize, and catalogue, with the help of his late wife Woneta, the thousands of books, periodicals, pamphlets, tracts, and other documents that now form the basis of the special collections and archives at both the C&MA headquarters in Colorado Springs and Canadian Bible College/Canadian Theological Seminary in Regina, Sask.

  • 2014 Annual Report
    Africa Inland Mission Canada 2014 Annual Report Introducing Africans Last November I sat in the kerosene-lit lodge of two young missionaries who live in northern Kenya. Fraser is from to Manchester, England, and Josh is from Toronto. They live an hour’s trek into the Keresia Hills deep in Samburu Land. The Samburu people scattered in this region have never heard that Jesus loves them and died for them and Jesus offers them eternal life. Every night at eight about a dozen shepherd lads take a twilight break from their camels and goats. The young teens crowd into Josh and Fraser’s “clubhouse” to laugh, drink a mug of hot chai, and take turns sketching the leopards and hyenas that stalk their herds. No ordinary Pictionary! But an excellent opportunity for Fraser and Josh to practice speaking and understanding the Samburu language. Their goal is to be able to share Bible stories with their new friends. They pray that one by one these sinewy, thoughtful young men will put their faith in Jesus, the “Great Shepherd.” Josh and Fraser’s ministry is one snapshot of AIM ministry in 2014. If it weren’t for your prayer and support over the last year, our work across Africa and among African im- migrants to Canada would not be possible. Through your sacrifice, and the giving of many other Canadians, lives have been transformed from the sands of the Sahara to the beaches of Madagascar. They thank you - and so do I! Dr. John P. Brown Canadian Director AIM Canada Income & Expenses From general missionary contributions AIM Canada deducts 12.9% for mobilizing and administration.
