EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the English Church in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, circa 1918. Located in the bustling port city of Dar-es-Salaam on the eastern coast of Africa, this imposing structure stands as a testament to the deep historical connections between Tanzania and the United Kingdom during the colonial era. The English Church, with its tall, Gothic-style spire reaching towards the sky, is surrounded by lush, tropical trees. The trees, with their vibrant green leaves, provide a striking contrast against the stone walls of the church. This juxtaposition of the ancient and the new, the religious and the natural, is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between European colonialism and the African continent. Missionaries played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in Tanganyika during the early 1900s. The English Church in Dar-es-Salaam was one of many churches established by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) to serve the growing Christian community in the region. The CMS, along with other missionary organizations, played a crucial role in the education and social development of the local population, and their influence can still be felt in Tanzania today. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Dar-es-Salaam was a bustling hub of British colonial activity in East Africa. The English Church stands as a symbol of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during this period, and continues to be an important landmark in the city today.
