SUMMARY:From Serampore to Singapore: The Making of the Missionary Enterpris
 e to China (1800-1840)
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nWher
 eas former studies about the interaction between Joshua Marshman and Rober
 t Morrison brought us the interesting pictures about their writings of gra
 mmar book and Bible translation\, highlighting their conflicts and differe
 nce during early 19th Century\, this talk is aimed to explore the broader 
 horizon of the missionary enterprise composed of missionaries of different
  societies before the First Opium War. During this period when China was i
 naccessible to the missionary\, it was not only Joshua Marshman and Robert
  Morrison\, but also their peers at Serampore\, Malacca\, Batavia\, who wo
 rked together to bring missionary endeavor for China to the western world.
  When it came to 1822\, London Missionary Society established its station 
 and its press in Singapore\, and then in 1834\, it was sold to the America
 n Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. By then\, the network of mi
 ssionary enterprise began to shape its international form. Those pioneerin
 g missionaries\, most of whom didn’t set their foot on China’s land\, 
 paved the way for the dramatic development of missionary enterprise in Chi
 na after the door was forced to open. To some extent\, the making of the m
 issionary enterprise is a result of conflicts\, competition\, and cooperat
 ion within and between those missionary societies.
