The American Missionary Association Divison

The Amistad Committee, the Union Missionary Society the Western Evangelical Missionary Society, and the Committee for West Indian Missions issued a call for a meeting in Syracuse, new York in February 1846. The invitation stated that "the time has come when those who would sustain missions for the propagation of a pure and free Christianity should institute arrangements for gathering and sustaining churches in heathen lands, from which the sins of caste, polygamy, slave holding, and the like shall be excluded. To bear such crimes in silence, not to say to direct practice or fellowship therein is enough to paralyze the faith and hope of the church." The Syracuse meeting was followed by another in Albany, New York, in September 1946. At this time the American Missionary Association was formed as an "independent, non-sectarian organization committed to the removal of caste wherever its sins were found." In April 1862, this Association was granted a charter by act of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York. 
The Association by 1850 was giving major attention to the abolition movement. It pioneered in opening schools in the South and still supports substantially six colleges and four community centers. Its two secondary schools remaining are in the process of transfer to the County. Church work in Puerto Rico was begun in 1899; hospital work in 1910. Activities there today center in evangelical work through our churches, in Ryder Hospital and the Yuquiyu Rural Life Community. The Department of Race Relations specializes in cooperative racial service and interracial conciliation in areas of tension and misunderstanding.
