| Summary: | The results of mission work may be quite different from what was intended. This essay examines two such cases for the Methodist Episcopal Missionary Society. From 1870 through 1910, Mission Society efforts to control the process and results of mission from New York led to conflict with those influenced by William Taylor's concept of “self-supporting” or “Pauline missions.” T. B. Barratt (Norway) and Willis Hoover (Chile) worked with the board and were successful pastors. However, both became alienated and were expelled from the mission. Both became globally influential Pentecostal leaders, and the churches founded by them grew rapidly. |
