Missions Abroad
- 1978 ----- color ----- 39 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- (Christians, The series, Part 11) One of the most dramatic examples of Christian revival in the 19th century was the spread of missionary activity, both in the lands of the new colonial empires and in the slums of Europe's industrial cities. Cambridge and other universities organized a party of missionaries to go to Africa. Lacking the skills of jungle survival and plagued by disease, nearly all died within two years. Through the works of Dickens, Gladstone, Disraeli and others, the public was awakened to the social injustices suffered by the working class. Wherever they went, Britons took upon themselves the task of civilizing, in a very civilized fashion, of course, all the peoples of the Empire.
