The Missionary Outreach of the West Indian Church is the story of
Jamaican Baptists, ex-slaves who, four years after Emancipation
(1838), established a witness in the Cameroons (West Africa) in
cooperation with their British pastors and with the reluctant aid
of the Baptist Missionary Society of London. Professor Russell
analyzes the relationship between the undertaking of the mission
and the new self-awareness of a freed people. The institutions
created to achieve their aims are discussed and their fortunes are
followed amid the chaotic ecclesiastical, economic, and political
happenings consequent upon the Anglo/Hispanic rivalry at the time.
The book is also a study of what happens when a mission-field
becomes a mission agency with missionaries of its own.
