Title: Gathering for God
Description: "Originally from the north of England, Brown worked as a Wesleyan Methodist missionary in Samoa (1860) and the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea (1875). In the 1880s, he became general secretary of the Australasian Methodist Overseas Mission, a post he held for more than twenty years and which involved further travel in the Pacific. His colourful life provides a case study of the role of Christian missionaries at this time."--Back cover.
