A study of the birth and development of the overseas missions of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland up to 1910
This dissertation seeks to describe the birth and development of the overseas missions of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Discussion is limited to the period up to 1910, the year of the Edinburgh Missionary Conference, and confined to the Foreign, Jewish, Jungle Tribes, and Zenana Missions of the PCI. The Colonial Mission is not discussed because it was not really a 'foreign mission' - it sought to serve Irish and other Presbyterian emigrants. The Continental Mission is also ignored for reasons of space, and because of its very restricted operations. The period is divided into three parts: up to 1840, between 1840 and the 1860's, and then to 1910. The first period entitled, 'Mission outside the Church', was when the two synods were not involved directly in foreign missions, and such interest had to be channelled through independent missionary societies. The question is addressed as to why the Presbyterian Church in Ireland was so late entering the foreign mission field, and what finally got it there. The second section, 'the Church in Mission', examines the rise and development of the Foreign and Jewish Missions, and notes how they were organised and their relationship with the home church and churches.
