Christian Woman's Board of Missions : ウィキペディア英語版 | Christian Woman's Board of Missions The Christian Woman's Board of Missions (CWBM) was a missionary organization associated with the Restoration Movement.〔Douglas Allen Foster and Anthony L. Dunnavant, ''The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement: Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, Churches of Christ'', Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2004, ISBN 0-8028-3898-7, ISBN 978-0-8028-3898-8, 854 pages, entry on ''Christian Woman's Board of Missions'', pages 200-2002〕 It was the first such group managed entirely by women.〔 It hired both men and women, and supported both domestic and foreign missions.〔 ==History== The Christian Woman's Board of Missions was created by the American Christian Missionary Society on October 21, 1874.〔 It was a grassroots organization intended to serve women and children worldwide.〔 While many members also supported other 19th century causes such as temperance and suffrage, "CWBM was the 'grand passion' in the lives of many nineteenth- and twentieth-century Christian Church women."〔 The CWBM's first mission was in Jamaica, where Dr. and Mrs. W.H. Williams were sent in 1876.〔 The first missionary who was a single woman, Jennie Laughlin, was sent in 1876.〔 India became the major focus of the CWBM's overseas efforts, which included evangelistic efforts focusing on women and children, as well as building a variety of social service facilities such as schools, hospitals and orphanages.〔 The organization was particularly effective, both at home and abroad, in reaching women and children in settings where it would be difficult or impossible for men to go.〔 The CWBM merged with several other organizations in 1919 to form the United Christian Missionary Society.〔〔Douglas Allen Foster and Anthony L.
