This book examines the Anglican Church in Malaysia from multiple
angles, unpacking its history from British colonialism to today's
Muslim-majority Asian nation. Analyzing tense Christian-Muslim
dialogue and volatile intercommunity relations, themes of
ethnicity, identity, gender, and multiculturalism intersect in
contexts of war, insurgency, and national independence. The
Church's two centuries of history unfold chronologically, but this
study goes far beyond mere description of events; it is a critical,
multidisciplinary, multilayered discussion that integrates
contemporary, archival, and scholarly perspectives. It focuses on
high-pressure interfaces between colonialists, clergy, sultans,
indigenous, and immigrant groups. The roles of education and
healthcare-as evangelism, or perhaps incentivization-are
investigated, within evolving models of mission, conversion, and
the broader context of Anglicanism in crisis. These diverse threads
intertwine to produce a concise but comprehensive three-dimensional
portrait of the Anglican Church in Malaysia.
Sometimes presumed to be a mere relic of British colonialism, the
Anglican Church in Burma (Myanmar) has its own complex identity,
intricately interwoven with beliefs and traditions that predate the
arrival of Christianity. In this essential volume, Edward Jarvis
succinctly reconstructs this history and demonstrates how Burma's
unique voice adds vital context to the study of Anglicanism's
predicament and the future of worldwide Christianity. Over the past
two hundred years, the Anglican Church in Burma has seen empires
rise and fall. Anglican Christians survived the brutal Japanese
occupation, experienced rampant poverty and environmental disaster,
and began a tortuous and frustrating quest for peace and freedom
under a lawless dictatorship. Using a range of sources, including
archival documents and the firsthand accounts of Anglicans from a
variety of backgrounds, Jarvis tells the story of the church's life
beyond empire, exploring how Christians of non-Western heritage
remade the church after a significant part of its liturgical
documents and literature was destroyed in World War Two and how,
more recently, the church has gained attention for its alignment
with influential conservative and orthodox movements within
Anglicanism. Comprehensive and concise, this fascinating history
will appeal to scholars and students of religious studies, World
Christianity, church history, and the history of missions and
theology as well as to clergy, seminarians, and those interested in
the current crises and future direction of Anglicanism.
