| Summary: | This article tells the story of the Egypt General Mission, which originated in 1898, up to 1907. It uses the relatively few published accounts, and various documents held in the Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide. It looks in some detail at the coming together, to a large extent in Belfast, Ireland, of those who were to form the initial group. They had experienced evangelical conversion and the holiness spirituality of the annual Keswick Convention was a powerful influence on this group. Seven young men, forming the Egypt Mission Band (as it was called at first), embarked on the mission venture in Egypt. There they worked with others and established small but significant communities of witness. This study looks at their varied experiences and argues, from evidence presented, for the crucial influence of Keswick as a motivator for mission of an interdenominational nature in the case of the Egypt General Mission. |
