• Biographical / Historical note:The Church Missionary Society was founded in 1799 by a small group of laymen and clergy of the Church of England. It was originally named the Society for Missions to Africa and the East. Its purpose was to enable the Church to send missionaries to Africa and other heathen areas. Henry M. Stanley, following his discovery of the missionary explorer, David Livingstone, was instrumental in opening the Uganda Mission. His famous letter, published in the Daily Telegraph in 1875, prompted a contribution of £5,000 and a group of eight men to sail for missionary service the following year.
