Opis

The two major waves of Presbyterian history in the Philippines initiated by American missions in 1899 which ended in 1948, and the reestablishment by the Korean missionaries in 1978 constituting the Presbyterian denomination in the country today left with a great challenge to revisit and evaluate its strategies to further development and prevent committing same mistakes. It takes the lenses of history to know the relationship between the past, present and future as it shapes our understanding of the issues around us. Refusing to listen to history will find ourselves fabricating an understanding of our current struggles.
