Twenty-One Years In Papua: A History Of The English Church Mission In New Guinea, 1891-1912 is a historical account of the English Church Mission's efforts to establish a Christian presence in Papua New Guinea between 1891 and 1912. The book was written by Arthur Kent Chignell and published in 1913. Chignell, who was a missionary with the English Church Mission, provides a detailed and personal account of the challenges and successes of the mission's work in Papua.The book is divided into 21 chapters, each covering a year of the mission's history in Papua. Chignell describes the difficulties of navigating the rugged terrain and the challenges of communicating with the local people who spoke a variety of languages. He also discusses the various cultural practices of the indigenous people and how the mission sought to integrate Christianity into their way of life.Chignell's account is not just a historical record of the mission's activities, but also a reflection on the impact of colonialism on Papua New Guinea. He acknowledges the harm that was done to the indigenous people through the imposition of Western values and religion, but also highlights the positive aspects of the mission's work in terms of education and healthcare.Overall, Twenty-One Years In Papua is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Papua New Guinea, Christian missions, or the impact of colonialism on indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
