Presbyterian Reformers in Central Africa

A Documentary Account of the American Presbyterian Congo Mission and the Human Rights Struggle in the Congo, 1890-1918

By: Robert Benedetto,Winifred K. Vass

This volume contains 123 documents which illustrate the early history of the American Presbyterian Congo Mission and its struggle for human rights in the Congo from 1890-1918. The documents, many of which have never previously been published, are crucial to a full understanding of both the work of the Presbyterian Mission and its impact on the social, political, and religious life of the Congo. The book is divided into four parts. Part One documents the founding and early history of the Presbyterian Mission from 1890 to 1898. Part Two documents the deterioration of social conditions in the Congo under King Leopold, and the reform campaigns initiated by the American Mission in Britain and the United States. Part Three consists of documents related to the 1909 libel trial of William M. Morrison and William H. Sheppard, the principal leaders of the American Mission. Part Four documents the Mission's reaction to continuing human rights abuses, particularly religious persecution, under Belgian rule to 1918. The documents are annotated and the volume contains an introduction and an index.

Thirty-one Banana Leaves

By: Winifred Kellersberger Vass

The analogy of the banana leaf is perfect for Winifred Kellersberger Vass to frame her thirty-one descriptive sketches of life in the African country of Zaire [Democratic Republic of Congo]. Humorous, informational, and inspirational, these loving glimpses of a people and a country celebrate the exuberance of rugged African life and offer a potpourri of memories from the author's growing-up years there as a "mish kid". Her exposure not only to exotic customs and life styles, but also to the dedicated and selfless Christian missionaries working there, enables her to give these colorful vignettes an entertaining flair coupled with a deeper sense of God's presence and power in the world. (Book jacket).

The Lapsley Saga

By: Winifred Kellersberger Vass,Lachlan C. Vass

The Lapsley Saga tells the story of Samuel N. Lapsley, the two paddle wheelers named for him, and their crews, who, like the powerful Zaire River, forever influenced the lives of those in the African Congo. In 1891 Lapsley journeyed up the Zaire River to establish the Luebo mission station and the American Presbyterian Congo Mission. He died of blackwater fever two years later, but in those two years, Lapsley's devotion to his work and faith in God branded his name on the African landscape.
