Items related to God's gentlemen: A history of the Melanesian Mission,...
Originally published in 1978, God’s Gentlemen remains the only detached and detailed historical analysis of the work of the Melanesian Mission, which grew out of the personal vision of George Selwyn, the first bishop of the Church of England in New Zealand. Starting with its New Zealand beginnings and its Norfolk Island years from 1867 to 1920, the book follows the Mission’s shift of headquarters to the Solomon Islands and beyond through the beginning of World War II. Based on a wide range of sources, God’s Gentlemen is the inner history of the slow growth of an important and genuinely Melanesian church.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. On 26 January 1975, almost twelve months before the British Solomon Islands Protectorate became an internally self-governing state, the Church of Melanesia was inaugurated as an autonomous province in the Anglican Communion. The purpose of this study is to examine the process by which the religion of the Church of England was extended to the islands of the southwest Pacific through the agency of the New Zealand-based Melanesian Mission. It begins with the first Anglican missionary voyage in 1849 and concludes with the Japanese invasion of the region in 1942, which remains a fundamental dividing-line in twentieth-century Melanesian history. 342 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: History; Australia; History; ISBN: 0702210668. ISBN/EAN: 9780702210662. Inventory No: 265274. Seller Inventory # 265274
