Paperback. Etat : New. Language: English. About The Book: At the request of the Central Board of Missions, this book was written as part of a series on Missions Overseas. It focuses on the beginnings of different sections or departments of the Anglican Missions enterprise in India, some of which began later than the general beginning. In the late 16th century, during Queen Elizabeth's reign, England first established contact with India through the granting of a royal charter to the East India Company. For 258 years, the East India Company represented British power in India, which became a prized possession of the British Crown. This stands in contrast to other mission fields such as Nigeria, East Africa, Uganda, the Congo, the Zambesi, Madagascar, New Zealand, and the Southern Seas, where missionaries preceded traders, consuls, and commissioners. However, in India, trade led the way, at least from the perspective of British missions. About The Author: Stock Eugene (1836-1928), Stock gave a lifetime of service as a layman to the Church Missionary Society (CMS). He became one of the most influential figures in the evolution of CMS policies in the 20 years leading up to his retirement in 1906. Born in Westminster, London, he was a self-made man without the university or clerical background that secretaries of his eminence generally had. He joined the CMS as an editor in 1873 and soon became its editorial secretary with responsibility for its publications, in particular for the prestigious and influential journal The Intelligencer. Throughout the 1880s his influence grew, partly because his vast and unrivaled knowledge of missionary history gave him power in respect of issues where a historical perspective was often crucial. He also had a capacity to write quickly, clearly, and in a way that lent weight to his own views as a policy framer.
