Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief History of the Missionary Work in the Indian Territory of the Indian Mission Conference: Methodist Episcopal Church South
Ties than the ancient Hebrew and the American Indian. When America was discovered by Christopher Columbus four-hun dred years ago this race of Indians was quite numerous. They occupied every habitable zone in North, South and Central America, including all the islands in the vicinity of these continents. No correct estimate could be made as to the ex act numbers, but it is a safe thing to say they numbered sev eral millions of souls. When first discovered there was really no evidence of civilization among them, nor was there any thing to show that they had even been different from what they were then - savages. Excepting the Incas of South America, and the Aztec-s and kindred races of Mex1co, the great mass of the American Indians were a rude, warlike. Savage people.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the growth of the Indian Mission Conference from its beginnings through the challenges and triumphs of its early years. Against the backdrop of oppression and conflict endured by the American Indians, the author sheds light on the Methodist Episcopal Church's role in bringing spiritual guidance and education to these communities. Delving into conference records, the author reconstructs the efforts of missionaries like William Capers and Alexander Talley, who laid the foundation for the church's work among the Native Americans. Through the narratives of preachers such as John Harrell and John Page, the book unveils the complexities of cultural assimilation and the struggles to maintain religious identity amidst societal upheaval. Exploring the historical context of the Indian Removal Act and the resulting forced relocation of Native American tribes, the book examines the church's response to these events. It highlights the challenges faced by missionaries in navigating political tensions and the complexities of cultural differences, providing a nuanced perspective on the interplay between religion, social justice, and the pursuit of a harmonious society.
