Publisher's Synopsis
"An Historical Sketch of the China Mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U.S.A." chronicles the early years of the Church's outreach in China, from the initial appointments in 1834 up to 1892. Compiled by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, this volume provides a detailed account of the establishment and growth of the Episcopal Church's presence in China during a period of significant cultural and political change.
The book offers insights into the challenges and triumphs faced by the missionaries, the cultural context in which they operated, and the evolving relationship between the Church and the Chinese people. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Christian missions, the history of Western engagement with China, and the development of the Episcopal Church in the 19th century.
