The Episcopal Church - Early Missionaries in Liberia 1821-1871: Positive and Negative Impact of Missionary Activities James T. Yarsiah

What was the result of the missionary efforts of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (DMFS) of The Protestant Episcopal Church USA in Liberia, from 1821 to 1871? What were the impacts (positive and negative) of early missionary work on the Liberian people (indigenous and settlers, alike)? Learn about how the white missionaries, black American settlers and African natives interacted during the early period of missionary activities. Due to the non-collaborative method, inadequate leadership approach, and poor conflict resolution style used by early white missionaries, what sort of Episcopal Church was established in Liberia? I believe that the DFMS/TEC, the Episcopal Church of Liberia (ECL), churches, ministries and individuals venturing to do missionary work (local and foreign), can always learn valuable lessons. This book serves as a tool that enhances the work of ?evangelism and mission? in the world (Missiology). ?Fr. Yarsiah has made a valuable contribution to Church history in his important book titled ?The Episcopal Church - Early Missionaries in Liberia 1821-1871? An illuminating read. Prof. D. Elwood Dunn, PhD
