Madagascar Mission Rift and Anglican Critique Sparks Debate
A polemical review condemns the Guardian for praising new Madagascar missions while attacking London Missionary Society founders. It recounts the historic London effort led by Radama I and Ranavolona, the martyrdoms, and mass conversions, then rebukes recent Anglican pretensions and the Bishop’s consecration amid withdrawal from Madagascar. The piece cites Archbishop Wilberforce remarks and Times' condemnation of the move as equivocal and harmful.
