History Of Anglicanism In Sichuan
The history of Anglicanism in Sichuan (or "Western China") began in 1887 when Anglican missionaries working with the China Inland Mission began to arrive from the United Kingdom. These were later joined by missionaries from the Church Missionary Society and Bible Churchmen's Missionary Society. Or according to ''Annals of Religion in Mianyang'', in 1885, a small mission church was already founded in Mianyang by Alfred Arthur Phillips and Gertrude Emma Wells of the Church Missionary Society. Missionaries built churches, founded schools, and distributed Chinese translations of Anglican religious texts.

Although the former ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
