Discipling the Church

The twentieth century saw the demographic and cultural transformation of the Christian Church; yet we have far too few close studies of how churches actually operated on the ground. This account of church developments in Myanmar, set in a wider historical context, is therefore especially welcome. Not the least of its many merits are the way it explores the realities behind ecclesiastical structures at local level, and its engaging portrait of a seminally important layman whose influence was immense but often hidden.
