John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: John Leighton Wilson, The Foreign Missionary (1936) . . . Southern Presbyterian Worthies, by John Miller Wells, tells the stories of several pastors who ministered in the old Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS). This episode is a reading of his chapter on John Leighton Wilson, a foreign missionary in Africa, missionary statesman, and secretary/coordinator of foreign and home missions for the PCUS from 1861 until 1885. His story is one that has been forgotten, but he needs to be remembered as a man of faith and action who led the church of Jesus Christ to pursue the salvation of the lost to the four corners of the globe. (Typically, this podcast posts a picture of the author of the work read; in this case, the picture is actually of Wilson.)

Jane Bayard Wilson and John Leighton Wilson were unlikely African missionaries, coming as they did from privileged slaveholding families in Georgia and South Carolina, respectively. Yet in 1834 they embarked on a nearly twenty-year adventure as Christian missionaries to two peoples in western Africa — the Grebo in Liberia, and the Mpongwe in present-day Gabon. Erskine Clarke‘s By the Rivers of Water: A Nineteenth Century Atlantic Odyssey (Basic Books, 2013) tells their story, but it also the tale of how profoundly different people in a globalizing world struggled, and sometimes succeeded, in reaching a common understanding. Even more than a model of Atlantic scholarship, By the Rivers of Water is a also a beautifully written study sure to engage readers interested in the exploding field of Atlantic history.
