China Centenary Missionary Conference : ウィキペディア英語版 | China Centenary Missionary Conference The China Centenary Missionary Conference, held in 1907 in Shanghai, China commemorated 100 years of Protestant missionary work in China and debated future courses of action. ==The Conference==
The Conference celebrated the centenary of the arrival of the first Protestant missionary to China, Robert Morrison. It was convened on April 25 and adjourned on May 8, 1907.〔The title page of the official record of the Conference states that the conference opened 5 Apr, but this is in error as the text of the report indicates. ''Chinese Centenary Missionary Conference Records'' (hereafter CCMCR). New York: American Tract Society, n.d., title page, p. ix〕 Attendees at the Conference totaled 1,170 persons, mostly missionaries from every province of China and with representatives from 25 countries. About 100 missionary organizations were operating in China, although not all were present at the conference.〔MacGillivray, D. ed. ''A Century of Protestant Missions in China''. Shanghai: American Tract Society, 1907, pp. v-vii〕 Most attendees were British and American. Despite the fact that the subject of the conference was the promotion of Christianity in China fewer than 10 Chinese can be identified among the delegates. 〔Yao, Kevin Xiyi. “At the turn of the century: a study of the China Centenary Missionary Conference of 1907".

Several served on a committee related to women’s work.〔Thompson, Larry Clinton. ''William Scott Ament and the Boxer Rebellion: Heroism, Hubris, and the Ideal Missionary''. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2009, p. 216〕 American missionary author and Congregationalist Arthur Henderson Smith and British Presbyterian John C. Gibson were elected joint Chairmen for the Conference. Eleven Committees presented resolutions on different subjects of interest to the delegates.
