Universities' Mission to Central Africa reports, 1860-1900 (inclusive) [microform].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702690394

The Universities' Mission to Central Africa was the first High Church Anglican mission, unusual in that it was run by the Bishop in the field, not by a committee at home. The reports are often largely propaganda material for the maintenance of the supply of money and men to the Society. Four major areas of research interest are the history of Christian missions, the history of the European impact on East and Central Africa, David Livingstone and his impact on British opinion, and an atypical view of the High Church wing of the Church of England.

According to the Canons of 1604, XLIX-LII, of the Church of England, only those persons whose faith and learning are known to their bishop are licensed to preach.
