Christian Education and the Construction of Female Gentility in Modern East Asia
religions Article Christian Education and the Construction of Female Gentility in Modern East Asia Jeesoon Hong Department of Chinese Culture, Sogang University, Seoul 04107, Korea; [email protected] Received: 30 June 2019; Accepted: 1 August 2019; Published: 6 August 2019 Abstract: This study explores the relationship between Christian education and the construction of female gentility in East Asia around the turn of the twentieth century. Because American missionary schools played an important role in the region, notions of female gentility were greatly influenced by the cultural values of the American middle class and, more specifically, American liberal arts colleges. The notion of the “new gentlewoman” helps to illuminate modern Protestant womanhood’s ambiguous relationship with feminism and nationalism. Recognizing that the Protestant notion of “female gentility” was internally racialized, in this study, I also pay attention to the question of race. While the scope of my research spans East Asia, in this paper, I examine Christian education in China, focusing specifically on Yenching Women’s College. I compare the college’s educational goals and curricula to the pedagogy at the male college of Yenching, the governmental women’s college, and other female colleges in Japan and Korea. In this study, I approach East Asia as a whole for several reasons: first, because a broader view of the region helps put the Chinese case into perspective; second, because the region was often dealt with together in missionary work; and lastly, because national differences cannot be assumed to be more substantial than other differences, such as those based on gender, class, generation, period, and province. -

2020 Yearbook
2020 YEARBOOK STANDING TOGETHER BY STAYING CONNECTED DIRECTORY GENERAL COUNCIL MINUTES STATISTICS NETWORKING THE BAPTIST FAMILY TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR CHRIST Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Baptist World Alliance mission statement is “Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” Core to this endeavor are ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships and ministry partnerships within the BWA family. Annually, since the late 1920s, the BWA has produced a Yearbook that is today shared with the conventions, unions, associations, and Baptist leaders actively involved in the BWA’s multifaceted ministry “to impact the world for Christ.” Across four sections, the Yearbook details the BWA organizational leadership and member bodies, provides the official account of the proceedings of BWA General Council meetings and the annual statistics of Baptists around the world, publishes financial statements and contribution reports as part of a commitment to financial integrity and transparency, and concludes with a directory of BWA Baptist leaders currently serving on BWA committees and commissions. The Yearbook is provided with the conviction that we are biblically called to encounter one another in loving fellowship and joyful collaboration. While asking for the responsible utilization of included information, it is expected that the Yearbook will enhance ministry partnerships. It is also hoped that the Yearbook will challenge us to pray more concretely for one another and to make direct contact that expresses solidarity with any BWA Baptist experiencing sorrow, hardship, or joy of any kind. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and BWA Baptists around the world. Thank you for your partnership in the mission of God. -
Christianity Transmission History and Contemporary Situation in China
IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 18, Issue 6 .Ver. IV (Jun. 2016), PP 14-20 www.iosrjournals.org Christianity Transmission History and Contemporary Situation in China Ruihui Han1, 1Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China. Abstract: The Christianity is transmitted with faster speed than ever in recent years in China. The Christianity transmission in China has long history and many setbacks, especially in modern history of China. The missionaries tried different ways to propagate such religion and had little achievement, even such transmission incurred the slaughter. But after the reforming and opening policy, the Christianity is accepted more easily in China. The main form of the Christianity church is the house church, and the believers in the countryside accounts for the most part of the whole believers. There is increasing interest in the house church and Christianity in countryside, and those are also the key to understand the Christianity transmission in contemporary China. Keywords: Christianity; transmission; church house; rural areas; Boxer Rebellion. I. Introduction In the end of 19th century, the American missionary Arthur Henderson Smith published his Chinese Characteristics and believed that thespread of Christianity in Chinese countryside would bring about a series of positive changes in Chinese countryside. After 100 years, the spread of Christianity were fast and very popular. In the population of the Chinese Christians, 80% are in the Chinese countryside. The most common form of the church is the housechurch, which is not registered in the government so that the government can not supervise it effectively. -

ECM Collections of the Revd. Kenneth Cracknell for the World Mission
ECM Collections of the Revd. Kenneth Cracknell for the World Mission Conference, Edinbugh 1910 and on 19th-century missionaries 259 items, 1969-1992 Apparently presented c.1994-1997, probably at the time of Mr. Cracknell’s generous ‘permanent loan’ of 600 volumes of his collection of missionary books for the Henry Martyn Library (Acc. 19/20) Catalogued by Graham Kings and Sue Sutton 2001-03; introduction added and new top level description by Philip Saunders April 2017 Kenneth Cracknell (b.1935) is a Methodist minister who began his career in Nigeria through the Methodist Church Overseas Division, then served as Director of Interfaith Relations in the British Council of Churches 1978-87. From 1987 or 1988 to 1996 or 1997 he held the Michael Gutteridge Chair in Theology and the position of Senior Tutor at Wesley House, Cambridge. In this period he was evidently frequently in touch with Revd Graham Kings, Henry Martyn Lecturer in Missiology (first Director of the Henry Martyn Centre) and appears to have made the original suggestion, in 1992, supported by Mr Kings (GRK 8/53p.3), to bring together on one site the HM Library books with those from his own ‘large personal collection’ and mission books from the four Federation colleges. The last element of happened only in part, but the Trust’s books were moved to a Westminster College in Autumn 1995 and were then or shortly after joined by Cracknell’s books and in 1997 250 volumes from Ridley Hall, where Kings had had his office. The present papers probably arrived simultaneously with the printed books (catalogued by Philippa Mahood in 1995); ECM 1 was definitely there by August 1994 (GRK 8/84, p.3). -

Epilogue Ever since the term “Chinese people’s Inner Experience” was proposed in 2009, I have wanted to write a book with that title to call people’s attention to the changes in Chinese values and social mentality since the adoption of reform and opening up in 1978. My motive was simple: it had been thirty years since the introduction of reform and opening up in 1978 and China had experienced earth-shattering changes during this period; our GDP had risen from 265 billion USD to 5 trillion USD to become the world’s second largest behind the United States, and we had been marching toward a truly modern society through the implementation of relevant systems, the rule of law, and the market economy. Furthermore, concurrent with the changes in social structure, what we call the ever-changing “socialmentality” exemplified by values, lifestyle, and social behavior has also undergone profound transformation. Like the changes in social structure, those in social mentality are also far-reaching and profound; not only have they left their imprint on the five thousand years of China’s cultural history, they can also serve as a psychological playbook for all the developing countries undergoing transformation toward modernity. Viewed from this angle, these massive changes in social mentality experienced by the Chinese people in the past thirty years can be totalized as the Chinese Experience, or more appropriately, the Chinese people’s Inner Experience, which comprises the changes in values and social mentality at its core but also subjective emotions and psychological condensates; the Chinese people’s Inner Experience rounds out the Chinese Experience by imbuing it with value and meaning. -
