Puritan and Pietist Missions

by Alice Ott

Summary

The Puritan mission movement had both successes and failures. While the goal was to reach the Native Americans for Christ, their approach tended to be egocentric and they emphasized the natives abandoning their current cultural practices to imitate the Englishmen. That said, there were examples of missionaries who did effective evangelism, and from them we can learn. The Pietist missions were also characterized by positive and negative attributes and emphasized individual piety and faith displayed in action.
