At right height of its imperialist phase, the United States of
America gained control of the Philippines at the beginning of the
20th century. Following American troops and government employees
into the new American territory were Protestant missionaries, who
had until then been systematically excluded from Spain's Asian
colony. This book examines the mission and church work of Filipino
and American Episcopalians in northern Luzon during the years of
American rule. It shows how in the early decades of the mission two
contradictory emphases, one on civilizing the Filipino and the
other on translating the Christian message into the vernacular,
worked themselves out in the lives of missionaries and local
people. The work then goes on to look at how both local Christians
and missionaries, in their own ways, utilized Christianity to deal
with new political, economic and social realities as these emerged
in the second two decades of American rule.
