  • 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.

  • HBU Academy – 1St Place Winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020
    HBU Academy – 1st place winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020 A Threefold Legacy: How Adoniram Judson’s Wives Contributed to the Ministry of the Man Who First Translated the Bible for the Burmese People by Rebecca Rizzotti In a glass case in the Dunham Bible Museum sits a book, open to public eye, filled seemingly with mere curves and squiggles. To an uninformed passerby, it may appear a simple curiosity, yet there is a story of incredible suffering, perseverance, and patience behind that book. It is a Burmese Bible. Adoniram Judson, as the first missionary sent out from the United States to a foreign country and the first person to translate the Bible into Burmese, is a well-known figure in the annals of missions. Yet in the many biographies, narratives, and articles centering on his life and work, the lives and work of his three wives—especially the latter two—are often overlooked. Each woman contributed immensely to a different aspect of his service that was essential to success as a missionary. Ann Hasseltine Judson demonstrated an incredible spirit of self-sacrifice during her marriage to Adoniram—first in agreeing to leave her family and homeland for a future of sickness and suffering, just days after their wedding in 1812—but most especially during her husband’s twenty-one months in brutal Burmese prisons in 1824-1825, his punishment for the false charge of espionage as he ministered in Rangoon. She “saved Judson’s life during the prison years… several times…Ann loved him fiercely, unreservedly, even to the point of giving her life for him.

  • Colby Missionaries in East Asia, 1822-1949
    Colby Missionaries in East Asia, 1822-1949 Stephanie Ruys de Perez 5/8/2013 Introduction Starting with Colby’s first graduate, George Dana Boardman in 1822, and through the end of the Second World War, Colby alumni worked throughout the world as missionaries. Beginning with Boardman, missionary activity became an integral element of Colby’s purpose and is an important part of the college’s history. While missionary activity is no longer a part of life at Colby today, remnants of the legacy of Colby’s missionaries live on. Out of the fifty-seven foreign missionaries from Colby, forty-seven of them worked on missions to Asia.1 These missionaries had a broad range of experiences based on the very different countries in which they worked in, the range of the time periods in which they served in, and the organizations for which they worked. As Colby was founded as a Baptist institution, the majority of Colby missionaries went by appointment of the American Baptist Missionary Union, which was coincidentally formed only one year after Colby’s founding date, in 1814.2 Perhaps the two most significant foreign missions in Colby’s history were the American Baptist Mission to Burma, and the American Baptist Mission to China. The mission to Burma involved eighteen Colby graduates from the class years from 1822 to 1926, making it the longest and largest mission of Colby graduates.3 The mission to China involved fifteen Colby graduates from the class years from 1854 to 1918, putting it closely behind Burma in both numbers of Colby missionaries and time span of involvement.

Various reasons for these removals have been given by history writers. Some of the reasons usually found include the following: Because of Black Hawk's War the settlers were afraid of the Indians and wanted them removed; in order to build canals and roads the Indians' lands were needed; the removal of the Indians was a natural result of the popu- lation increase in Indiana; the Indians were removed because of trouble which developed between the races; and so on.

  • Full Text, a History of the Baptists, Thomas Armitage
    A HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS By Thomas Armitage THE AMERICAN BAPTISTS I. THE COLONIAL PERIOD. PILGRIMS AND PURITANS The passage of the Mayflower over the Atlantic was long and rough. Often before its bosom had been torn by keels seeking the golden fleece for kings, but now the kings themselves were on board this frail craft, bringing the golden fleece with them; and the old deep had all that she could do to bear this load of royalty safely over. Stern as she was, the men borne on her waves were sterner. More than a new empire was intrusted to her care, a new freedom. 'What ailed thee, O sea?' When this historic ship came to her moorings, not unlike the vessel tossed on Galilee, she was freighted with principles, convictions, institutions and laws. These should first govern a quarter of the globe here, and then go back to the Old World to effect its regeneration and shape its future. THE PILGRIMS knew not that the King of all men was so signally with them in the bark, and would send them forth as the fishers of Gennesaret were sent, on an errand of revolution. In intellect, conscience and true soul-greatness, these quiet founders of a new nation were highly gifted, so that song and story will send their names down to the end of time on the bead-roll of fame. The monarchs of the earth have already raised their crowns in reverence to their greatness, and they are canonized in the moral forces which impelled and followed them.

As villagers began their worship and celebration before midnight, grenades were thrown in the church by Burmese police. A narrative written by BaSaw Khin, published by the Karen National League (KNL) based in San Francisco, reproduced the scene: The Burmans had completely surrounded the church and those who did not die inside were shot down with machine guns as they fled the church.
