Abstract:
Although women play a significant role in world missions, few studies have been done to ascertain what factors enhance their effectiveness and sense of well-being. This study surveyed 153 married female missionaries to explore how they perceive their overall well-being and missionary role, and whether their perception of their role is related to their sense of well-being. Unexpectedly, responses indicated a need to modify Bowers (1984) Classification of Married Women Missionaries' Roles from four categories into two: “direct worker” or “support worker.” In an analysis of the data using this new classification Direct Workers were found to have a lower level of emotional distress than Support Workers. Additionally, participants' answers to open-ended questions indicated a moderate level of relevance of role issues in their lives as missionaries. Implications of these findings for enhancing married female missionary's well-being and for future research using this new classification are discussed.

Abstract:
A century ago, Cecil Rhodes told a Dutch Reformed missionary’s mother that “your son among the natives is worth as much to me as a hundred policemen.” He was referring, of course, to the role many missionaries played in turning Christianity into an ideology which could be used to convince Africans not to resist white domination.Rhodes’ modern-day successors—South Africa’s white rulers and their allies—have gone one dangerous step further. For them, it is not enough to use the church as a kind of ideological cheering section for white domination. Instead they are quite literally using pastors and missionaries as soldiers and policemen.

Abstract:
Pauline Pretorius, born Murray, worked as a Dutch Reformed Church [DRC] mission doctor in Nyasaland (now Malawi) from 1928–1976, but little has been written about her life and extraordinary career. A disproportionate number of books and articles have been published by or about male DRC missionaries in Nyasaland, while women’s stories have been overlooked. This article discusses the significant contributions made by Dr Pauline Murray to improve healthcare practices for women and children in Nyasaland and her efforts to train local midwives in Mlanda, Nyasaland, from 1928–1941. This article argues that recovering female missionaries’ stories is important and suggests that Murray’s work in Nyasaland can be read as an example of a medical missionary who considered her work an “act of service to others”. Many descendants of Andrew Murray Sr worked as (medical) DRC missionaries in Nyasaland and, although this article focuses on the life and work of Pauline Murray, mention is made of the notable contributions made to the field of medicine by members of the extended Murray family.

Abstract:
American missionaries contributed significantly to the introduction into Iran of some elements of western culture, especially in the areas of education and medicine. The first of these missionaries went to Persia in 1832 to explore the possibility of establishing a base for the activities of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The work of many others who succeeded him continued until 1934 when government imposed regulations drastically restricted the nature of their educational work in Iran.Between 1834 and 1870 Presbyterian missionaries labored to establish the foundations for a Christian church in Iran. They had to overcome numerous difficulties including grudging tolerance for their efforts by the Persian government. Their evangelical work was done mainly among Nestorian Christians in the northern part of Persia.The missionaries had some success and between 1870 Presbyterian missionaries labored to establish the foundations for a Christian church in Iran. They had to overcome numerous difficulties including grudging tolerance for their efforts by the Persian government. Their evangelical work was done mainly among Nestorian Christians in the northern part of Persia.The missionaries had some success and between 1870 and 1934 the area of their activity was expanded. Mission stations were opened in Tehran, Tabriz, Hamadan, Kermanshah, Kazvin, Resht, and Meshed.One of the most significant results of the missionary labors was the establishment of an impressive educational system from primary to college level in a nation that had no secular education. Eventually some of the graduates of the missionary schools became prominent in the Persian parliament. Others were among the leading Iranian lawyers, physicians, and engineers. The missionary schools afforded the first opportunity for the education of women in Persia by creating a school system that included Sage College for women in Tehran.The medical missionaries introduced modern medical practices to Iran. The first of these dedicated physicians arrived in Urumia in 1835. Gradually the number of medical missionaries increased and several hospitals were built. Dr. Joseph P. Cochran was the first missionary doctor to build a modern hospital in Persia and he established that nation's first modern medical school in Urumia. The first female physician in Persia, Miss Mary Bradford, was an American missionary.Although the missionaries were successful in educational and medical work they failed in their main objective, which was to evangelize not only Persia, but all of Asia. However, their schools, colleges and hospitals had contributed to the diffusion of western ideals and the

Abstract:
Orpheus is one of the greatest historical contributions of the Thracians in European culture. He is much more than a talented poet and singer. He is a religious reformer, a priest, a teacher. This study aims to present his life and influence on later philosophers as Pythagoras and Plato, and analyze some Orphic tablets of eschatological nature. The roots of Orphic teachings are so deep, that missionaries of the new Christian faith were forced to use the image of Orpheus in their desire to baptize the local population in Thrace and even Rome. Orpheus comes to walk the most difficult path – spreading the doctrine of salvation of the human soul, which remains one of the highest achievements of European culture and hope for its humane future.
