Abstract
Having come to the fore at the end of the eighteenth century, Industrial Revolution not only was the precursor of a grand-scaled transformation resulted in the technological, military, and political superiority of England, but also created the infrastructure of a golden era for the Protestant missionary organizations. Alongside such societies namely as London Missionary Society (1795), British and Foreign Bible Society (1804), London Jews’ Society (1809), Church Missionary Society (1799), with the power it gained thanks to its budget, which surpassed both its Anglo-Saxon and American congeners, commissioned its specially trained and supported missionaries throughout a wide geography, expanding from Africa to Oceania, for the sake of the purpose of Christianization. Despite having attempted to achieve their targets by means of methods and intensities, varying from each other as per country, society, and time, throughout the 19th Century, the mission strategies essentially proclaimed the arguments of “benefiting from the opportunities of the West”, and “reaching to the level of Western civilizations”. Within this context, what is intended in this study is to observe the basic postulates, on which Church Missionary Society, which was one of the world’s biggest Protestant organizations, grounded its sense of mission and its missionary activities, and the initiation, development, and adherence strategies thereof, as well as to observe the meaning and significance of the relation they constituted between religion and civilization in parallel with the secular direction of the change in the modern world
