Wellington Valley Mission
Wellington Valley Mission was a Church Missionary Society (CMS) mission near Wellington, New South Wales, and one of the earliest attempts to "civilise and Christianise" Aboriginal Australians. It was founded in 1830 and closed 12 years later, in 1842. The CMS established the mission in 1832, led by the Rev. William Watson and Rev. Johann Simon Christian Handt. They were granted and £500 per annum to run the mission. A drought in the early days made it almost impossible to provide enough food for the mission. On 2 March 1833, Watson recorded the following in his journal: "Our men attempted to plow ic but broke the coulter ladeimmediately owing to the ground being so dry and hard. We have had very little rain for a long time. Our garden and indeed vegetation in general is almost parched up. Scarcely any food for the cattle." The mission was also plagued by internal quarrelling and rumours. In 1837, Handt moved away because of his wife's poor health and was replaced by James G� ...

Founded in 1799, CMS has attracted over nine thousand men and women to serve as mission partners during its 200-year history.

Mission (Christian)
A Christian mission is an organized effort to carry on evangelism, in the name of the Christian faith. Missions involve sending individuals and groups across boundaries, most commonly geographical boundaries. Sometimes individuals are sent and are called missionaries, and historically may have been based in mission stations. When groups are sent, they are often called mission teams and they undertake mission trips. There are a few different kinds of mission trips: short-term, long-term, relational and those that simply help people in need. Some people choose to dedicate their whole lives to mission. Missionaries preach the Christian faith and sometimes administer the sacraments, and provide humanitarian aid or services. Christian doctrines (such as the "Doctrine of Love" professed by many missions) permit the provision of aid without requiring religious conversion. Nonetheless, the provision of help has always been closely tied to evangelization efforts. History of Christian ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Aboriginal Missions In New South Wales
Aboriginal missions in New South Wales, together with reserves and stations, were areas of land in New South Wales where many Aboriginal people were forced to live due to government laws and policies. The missions were established by religious individuals or churches and they were controlled by those churches and missionaries with limited government involvement. More than ten missions were established in NSW between 1824 and 1923. Relocation to missions denied Aboriginal people access to their traditional lands, hunting grounds, and sacred sites, and disrupted kinship systems. The origin of laws seeking to protect Aboriginal people in the Australian colonies and to provide religious instruction and missionaries can be found in the ''Report of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Aboriginal Tribes, (British settlements.)'' which was presented to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Aboriginal Tribes in 1837. The missions were prim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
