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:

On January 3, 1841, Herman Melville boarded the whaler Acushnet and left the harbor of New Bedford. Traveling through the South Pacific, Melville spent time in the Marquesas, Tahiti, and the Sandwich Islands where he witnessed the missionary efforts among the islanders. The religious conversion and acculturation of the Polynesian natives led Melville to question the missionaries' activities. The different cultures of these islands increased Melville's already skeptical outlook on the standards his own culture insisted that he follow. Experiencing both the tranquil Typee Valley and the "civilized" island of Tahiti, Melville felt compelled to write about his island adventures in his first two books, Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847). Observing the influence of the Sandwich Islands' missionaries, Melville came to the conclusion that the natives of the Pacific would have been better off left to their own devices, as opposed to being converted to the Euro-American standards of civilized living. Instead of receiving the benefits of Christian living, the natives had been reduced from the Edenic state of the Typee Valley to the devastating, dehumanizing existence Melville witnessed in Tahiti and Hawaii. The contrasts Melville draws between the primitive Typee and the converted Tahitian cultures illustrate his belief that the missionaries were actually driving the natives toward a cultural death through the removal of pagan practices and the introduction of the "civilized" Christian beliefs governing Euro-American society.

As narrativas missionárias católicas na África apresentam a ações religiosas correspondendo a um heroísmo realizado na alteridade da África Central. Nosso objetivo foi investigar o expansionismo católico realizado pelos Missionários da África, no Vicariato do Niassa, na vasta região dominada pelos Babemba, no norte da Rhodésia, atual Zâmbia. O conjunto de postos missionários espalhados pelo norte da Rhodésia até toda a extensão do Niassalândia compunha esse território eclesiástico. Metodologicamente, utilizamos a interface entre a Antropologia e a História para conduzir nossa análise interpretativa das narrativas desse grupo: diários, documentos oficiais e atlas. Para tanto, escolhemos como nossos nativos os membros desse instituto católico, fundado em 1868, na Argélia, pelo Cardeal francês Charles Lavigerie, e sendo estipulado como recorte histórico o período de 1891, que marca a chegada deles em Mambwe, até 1937, pela instalação do território eclesiástico do Vicariato Apostólico de Luangwa pela Propaganda Fide. Para compreender as ações missionárias, investigamos de que forma o habitus católico se estruturou para definir fronteiras eclesiásticas na forma de etnicidade entre outros grupos católicos e, também, com o mundo laico. Os Missionários da África se diferenciaram dos outros institutos pela produção de sinais diacríticos para manter sua identidade coletiva, operando em conformidade com o funcionamento de circunscrições, abaixo e em torno do papado. Concluímos que o expansionismo católico levou para a Rhodésia atores missionários, padres e irmãos, dispostos a se sacrificar e a se adaptar diante das ações refratárias do interesse colonial, das resistências dos chefes nativos contra o domínio...
Catholic missionary narratives introduce religious actions as a heroism accomplished in the alterity of Central Africa. Our aim was to investigate the Catholic expansion, realized by the Missionaries of Africa, in Nyassa Vicariate, in the extensive territory dominated by Babemba, in Northern Rhodesia, nowadays Zambia. The aggregation of mission stations sprinkled over Northern Rhodesia, as far as to the whole extension of Nyassaland, composed such ecclesiastical territory. Methodologically, we have make used of Anthropology and History interface to conduct our analytical interpretation of missionary narratives: diaries, official documents and atlas. For that reason, we have chosen as our natives the members of that Catholic institute, founded in 1868, by the French Cardinal Charles Lavigerie, in Algeria. We set up the period of investigation the moment they left the Shiré site and reached Mambwe, in 1891, until 1937, when the erection Apostolic Vicariate of Luangwa granted by Propaganda Fide. To understand such bureaucratically products, we investigate how Catholic habitus has structured itself to define its ecclesiastical borders in terms of ethnicity, competing prestige amongst other Catholic groups and, also, with laity domination. Missionaries of Africa differed from other institutes by producing diacritical signs to sustain its collective identity, operating due to prescriptive circumscriptions, bellow and around the papacy. We concluded that Catholic expansion brought to Rhodesia missionary actors, priests and brother, willing to sacrifice their lives and be adapted to refractory actions of colonial plans, chiefdoms’ resistances against foreigner domain and tensions inner the ecclesiastical borders.

Abstract:

Although by 1900, over 60% of the British missionary workforce in South Asia was female, women’s role in mission has often been overlooked. This thesis focuses upon women of the two leading Anglican societies – the high-Church Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) and the evangelical Church Missionary Society (CMS) – during a particularly underexplored and eventful period in mission history. It uses primary material from the archives of SPG at Rhodes House, Oxford, CMS at the University of Birmingham, St Stephen’s Community, Delhi, and the United Theological College, Bangalore, to extend previous research on the beginnings of women’s service in the late-nineteenth century, exploring the ways in which women missionaries responded to unprecedented upheaval in Britain, India, and the worldwide Anglican Communion in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. In so doing, it contributes to multiple overlapping historiographies: not simply to the history of Church and mission, but also to that of gender, the British Empire, Indian nationalism, and decolonisation. Women missionaries were products of the expansion of female education, professional opportunities, and philanthropic activity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Britain. Their vocation was tested by living conditions in India, as well as by contradictory calls to marriage, career advancement, familial duties, or the Religious Life. Their educational, medical, and evangelistic work altered considerably between 1917 and 1950 owing to ‘Indianisation’ and ‘Diocesanisation,’ which sought to establish a self-governing ‘native’ Church. Women’s absorption in local affairs meant they were usually uninterested in imperial, nationalist, and Anglican politics, and sometimes became estranged from the home Church. Their service was far more than an attempt to ‘colonise’ Indian hearts and minds and propagate Western ideology. In reality, women missionaries’ engagement with India and Indians had a far more profound impact upon them than upon the Indians they came to serve.

Full text

Abstract:

Relationships between MMPI subscale scores and premature resignations among Southern Baptist foreign missionaries appointed in 1964 were investigated in an effort to develop a predictive model for attrition. Unsuccessful attempts were made at cross-validating the results of a previous related study, and two separate discriminant function analyses were undertaken. The first sorted subjects into three groups, defined by subjects' length of service before resignation. The second classified them according to the reason stated for their termination, if applicable. Both procedures failed to establish a statistically reliable classification system for relating MMPI scores with premature resignations. Although consistent success has been achieved with the MMPI as a screening instrument for psychopathology, it is suggested that the instrument is not adequately sensitive as a screening device for groups lying predominantly within the normal range of variability.
