摘要
英国长老会的传教士多来自苏格兰"高地",他们对于同样是"高地"的粤东客家地区有一种特别的情怀。英国长老会传教士专门开辟了客家传教站,以揭阳五经富为基地,逐步进入北部客家地区,并将传教的范围扩展至闽西和赣南。不过,从传教的规模和效果看,以五经富堂为代表的客家教会根本无法与以汕头堂为代表的福老教会相提并论,地方社会经济对于传教事业发展的制约十分明显。
Most of the missionaries affiliated with English Presbyterian Mission were highlanders so they cherished a special feeling for Hakka who lived in the East Guangdong highland. Based on Wujingfu in Jieyang, they penetrated into Northern Hakka area and even enlarged their scope to West Fujian and South Jiangxi. Nevertheless, the Hakka church represented by Wujingfu could not match the Hoklo church represented by Swatow both in scale and in effect. It is apparent that local society and economy restricted the development of their missionary enterprise.
