[edit] Use more neutral language
lovely article , but I've put up a "tone" template there, as the narrative tone of the ariticle can be adjusted. Now it reads more like a personal account of something. For example (my bold), "In 1807, Robert Morrison of the London Missionary Society reached Canton via America despite the opposition of the British East India Company and the ship's captain (or owner) with his famous sally: "And so, Mr. Morrison, you really expect to make an impression on the idolatry of the great Chinese empire?." Morrison's reply is worth noting: "No, sir, I expect God will." After twenty-five years of intense work he translated the whole Bible and baptized ten Chinese. We associate with him such giants as William Henry Medhurst and Milne (the printers), Samuel Dyer (Hudson Taylor's father-in-law), Gutzlaff (the Prussian linguist), and Parker (China's first medical missionary)."--K.C.

[edit] 19th Century Medical Missions in China
Here is a request for a new article that hasn't been fairly addressed: 19th Century Medical Missions in China. There are already a number of medical missionaries to China who have articles: John G. Kerr, Peter Parker (physician), Hudson Taylor, Frederick Howard Taylor, James O. Fraser, just to name a few. If anyone is interested, this would be a great topic to explore that deserves its own article.Brian0324 20:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
