At the height of its imperialist phase, the United States of America gained control of the Philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century. Following American troops and government employees into the new American territory were Protestant missionaries, who had until then been systematically excluded from Spain's Asian colony. The Protestant Episcopal Church chose to undertake missionary work among Filipinos who were not Roman Catholics, and thus decided to plant missions in the mountains of northern Luzon among the people known as Igorot. This dissertation examines the mission and church work of Filipino and American Episcopalians in northern Luzon during the years of American rule. It shows how in the early decades of the mission two contradictory emphases, one on civilizing the Igorot and the other on translating the Christian message into the vernacular, worked themselves out in the lives of missionaries and local people. Among the missionaries the translating project tended to engender a respect and understanding for the host culture, and a vision of mission work as a mutual undertaking. Among the Igorot, it fostered an attitude of playfulness and experimentation with religion, and produced Christians who were cultural brokers or negotiators. The civilizing project tended to be run by missionaries who sought to impose Western values and material culture on the local people. It fostered a reaction of acceptance and rejection among the Igorot.

520 $a At the height of its imperialist phase, the United States of America gained control of the Philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century. Following American troops and government employees into the new American territory were Protestant missionaries, who had until then been systematically excluded from Spain's Asian colony. The Protestant Episcopal Church chose to undertake missionary work among Filipinos who were not Roman Catholics, and thus decided to plant missions in the mountains of northern Luzon among the people known as Igorot. This dissertation examines the mission and church work of Filipino and American Episcopalians in northern Luzon during the years of American rule. It shows how in the early decades of the mission two contradictory emphases, one on civilizing the Igorot and the other on translating the Christian message into the vernacular, worked themselves out in the lives of missionaries and local people. Among the missionaries the translating project tended to engender a respect and understanding for the host culture, and a vision of mission work as a mutual undertaking. Among the Igorot, it fostered an attitude of playfulness and experimentation with religion, and produced Christians who were cultural brokers or negotiators. The civilizing project tended to be run by missionaries who sought to impose Western values and material culture on the local people. It fostered a reaction of acceptance and rejection among the Igorot.
520 $a The dissertation goes on to show how both missionaries and Filipinos, in their own ways, utilized Christianity to deal with new political, economic and social realities as these emerged in the second two decades of American rule. As a new regime opened the mountains to the outside world, missionaries tried to stave off the negative effects of foreign forces and develop an indigenous ministry, while Episcopal Filipinos used their new religion to negotiate the claims of tradition and modernity. Finally, the dissertation suggests that third world Christianity which has its origins in colonial contexts bears the marks of being both an appropriated and imposed religion.
