요약 : This historical study examines the extent to which black Southern Africans formed a partnership with American Methodist missionaries to propagate Christianity among the indigenous people of Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). The dissertation is limited to the Methodist Episcopal Church activities in the eastern and northeastern parts of Southern Rhodesia, from the founding of the mission in 1898 to the formation of the Methodist Church in 1939. From the time of their arrival in 1898, the missionaries in Southern Rhodesia relied upon African people from South Africa for preaching, teaching, interpreting sermons, and translating the Bible. By 1906, black Southern Rhodesians were taking leadership roles to promote Christianity and Western civilization in rural villages. The initiatives of Johannes Chimene in Victoria province and Nehemiah Machakaire in Manyikaland province illustrated the partnership that developed between Methodist missionaries and indigenous people. After an important revival in 1918, the Christian mission in Southern Rhodesia was accelerated by indigenous pastor-teachers who were no longer dependent on the administration and spiritual leadership of white missionaries.
초록/해제  
요약 : A secondary focus in the dissertation is the attitude of missionaries toward indigenous culture. In the early 1900s, the American Methodist missionaries' sense of superiority towards the indigenous culture handicapped them from forging an equal partnership with African Christians. However, missionary attitudes changed as they learned the indigenous language, traditions, and customs. They discovered that black Southern Rhodesians were dependable partners in the preaching of the gospel. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society launched education for girls and women that focused on empowering them with a belief system and skills that would transform the indigenous society. Consequently, black Rhodesian women's involvement in Methodist women's missionary activities greatly accelerated the growth of the Church. The study concludes that the planting of the Christian faith among the indigenous people of Southern Rhodesia would not have been successful without the partnership that developed between Christian black Southern Africans and Western missionaries.
