Central to the transnational nature of the book are questions of identity and of how individuals, and the organisations they worked for, can be seen as both colluders and opposers within nation-state borders and politics. It analyses the ways in which the Moravian missionaries navigated competing agendas within the colonial setting, especially those that impacted on their sense of personal vocation, their practices of conversion, and their understandings of the indigenous non-Christian peoples in the settler society of Victoria. 410 0$aStudies in Christian mission ;$vv. 38. 606 $aMissions, German$zAustralia$zVictoria$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGermans$zAustralia$zVictoria$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xMissions$zAustralia$zVictoria$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aVictoria$xChurch history$y19th century 615 0$aMissions, German$xHistory 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xMissions$xHistory 676 $a266/.0234309409034 700 $aJensz$b Felicity$01525917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785138703321 996 $aGerman Moravian missionaries in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, 1848-1908$93767569 997 $aUNINA
