Rev Dr William P Addley will be giving a talk on 'The Jungle Tribes Mission and Missionary Elders' by Zoom on Thursday 18 November at 8.00pm.

The Jungle Tribes Mission was a mission of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland that worked alongside the Church's Foreign Mission in Gujarat.  Formed in 1890 it was a faith mission whose inspiration was Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission.  Its field was limited to the indigenous tribes of NW India who were animists rather than Hindu or Moslem.  The talk will look at the history of the Mission and its sometimes tense relationship with the Foreign Mission and reflects on the implications of elders presiding at communion.
