Summary: | The Siberia-Manchuria Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1920–1927, is an important story of mission growth under extremely adverse circumstances. There were two facets to the Mission, Korean-language work and Russian-language work. The Mission was centered in Russian Siberia and Chinese Manchuria, reaching as far east as the cities of Harbin and Tsitsihar. While there has been significant research regarding the Russian-language department of the Mission, little has been done in reference to the Korean-language department. This article is a first attempt to explore the reports of the Mission, to summarize the primary aspects of the work, and to evaluate the theology espoused, the lessons learned, and the contribution of Methodists in Korea. |
