Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the history of the English Church Mission to Corea, which began in 1889 when Charles John Corfe was consecrated as the missionary bishop to Corea. The mission was founded with the goal of creating white-hot foci rather than a scattered pastorate, and the author discusses the challenges the mission faced in its early years, including the lack of staff and resources and the restrictions placed on missionary work by the Corean government. The author also highlights the mission's achievements, such as the establishment of schools, hospitals, and orphanages, and the translation of the Bible into Korean. The book provides a valuable insight into the history of Christianity in Korea and the role of the English Church Mission in its development.
