"A definitive and masterful documentary history." -Pum Za Mang Church History "The scholarship and archival thoroughness of the author are unimpeachable. . . . The book is a helpful case study in support of the thesis that 'as time progressed, the age-old power frameworks superimposed onto worldwide [Christianity] were indeed shown to be universally defective.'" -Richard Mammana Medium.com "This excellent case study of Anglicanism in Burma illustrates why different Churches in different contexts have differing emphases in their teaching while holding the same gospel." -William Jacob Church Times "The Anglican Church in Burma makes a meaningful and significant input to the fields of church history and mission studies. This kind of in-depth research into the Anglican Church in Burma has not been previously published, and the findings are an important and interesting new contribution to global Christianity." -Albert Sundararaj Walters,author of Knowing Our Neighbour: A Study of Islam for Christians in Malaysia "The Anglican Church in Burma is an engaging historical narrative that highlights Western Christianity interfacing with indigenous religion and culture-and the ramifications of a 'hybrid' religious faith for the Christian Church in Asia. This is a welcome addition to the scarce resources on the Asian history of Christianity and mission, particularly on Anglicanism in Myanmar." -Limuel Equina,coeditor of Ministerial Challenges in Contemporary World: Towards a Transformative Theological Education
