Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

London Missionary Society (Council for World Mission) (England) : The London Missionary Society was founded in 1795 at the height of an evangelical revival. The founders represented Congregationalist, Anglican, Wesleyan, Methodist and Presbyterian churches who devised a non-denominational structure. The Society's primary support, however, was always from the Congregationalists. In 1966 the London Missionary Society amalgamated with the Colonial Missionary Society (later known as the Commonwealth Missionary Society) to form the Congregational Council for World Mission.
