Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the India Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America: Known as the Lodiana, the Farrukhabad, and the Kolhapur Missions; From the Beginning of the Work, in 1834, to the Time of Its Fiftieth Anniversary, in 1884 On November 5th 1834, Rev. John C. Lowrie, the first missionary of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America to India, reached Lodiana and founded the Mission, now so well known as the Lodiana Mission. Since then the Mission has extended its borders as far north as Peshawar and as far south as Kolhapur. For convenience of administration, three missions, known as the Lodiana, Farrukhabad and Kolhapur, have been organized - the members of these missions being appointed and supported by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. The ordained foreign and native ministers, with representatives from the churches, constitute the Synod of India. At the close of the half-century since the founding of the Mission, it was thought fitting that the members of the Missions and of the Synod should come together at Lodiana and commemorate that event. Accordingly the Synod of India at its meeting in 1883 appointed a committee to make arrangements for such a commemoration. The following programme, drawn up by the committee and followed in the main, will show the form the commemoration took. Programme of the Semi-Centennial Celebration of the founding of the American Presbyterian Mission in India, held at Lodiana, from the 3rd to the 7th of December 1884. First Day. 1.
