EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Church Missionary Society (CMS) missionaries travelling through West Africa around 1910. The missionaries, dressed in their formal attire, are seen boarding a train with their luggage and a parasol for protection against the sun. The porters, dressed in traditional African clothing, are assisting them with their belongings. The CMS, founded in 1799, was a prominent British-based Christian missionary society dedicated to spreading the gospel in Africa and other parts of the world. The society's missionaries played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in West Africa, establishing schools, hospitals, and churches. Travel in West Africa during this period was a challenging endeavor, with long journeys through difficult terrain and extreme weather conditions. The missionaries relied on the assistance of local porters to transport their supplies and equipment. Despite the hardships, the missionaries remained committed to their work, driven by their faith and the belief that they were bringing the message of Christianity to people in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the experiences of these intrepid missionaries and the communities they served. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of Christian missionary work in Africa and the enduring impact it has had on the continent's religious and cultural landscape. Today, the legacy of the CMS and other missionary societies continues to be felt in the many churches and institutions they established, as well as in the lives of countless individuals who have been touched by their message of hope and compassion.
