New England Company
The New England Company was established in 1649 by England's Long Parliament for the purpose of converting the Indians to Protestant Christianity. It collected and invested funds, the interest for which was sent to New England commissioners who paid the missionaries' salaries. The company represented an early example of Anglo-American co-operation and is the oldest English Protestant missionary society still in operation (in western Canada) today.
