John Birch (missionary)
John Morrison Birch (May 28, 1918 – August 25, 1945) was an American military intelligence officer and Baptist missionary in World War II, who was killed during a confrontation with troops of the Communist Party of China.
The John Birch Society, an American anti-communist organization formed 13 years after his death, was named in his honor by Robert H. W. Welch, Jr., who considered him to be a martyr and the first victim of the Cold War. His parents joined the Society as honorary Life Members.
==Early life==
Birch was born to Presbyterian missionaries in Landour, a hill station in the Himalayas now in the northern India state of Uttarakhand, at the time in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. In 1920, when he was two, the family returned to the United States. Birch was raised in Vineland, New Jersey, Floyd County, Georgia,〔The Secret File on John Birch, James & Marti Hefley, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 1980, ISBN 0-8423-5862-5〕 and Macon, Georgia, in the Fundamental Baptist〔 tradition. He graduated from Gore High School in Chattanooga County, followed by Georgia Baptist–affiliated Mercer University in 1939 magna cum laude.〔 "He was always an angry young man, always a zealot", said a classmate many years later. In his senior year at Mercer, he joined a student group to identify cases of heresy by professors, seeking to uphold the Scriptural definition of conversion and other doctrines.
