BANGLAPEDIA: Serampore.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Serampore is a pre-colonial town on the right bank of the Hughli river in the Hughli district of West Bengal. Serampore witnessed the growth and decline of the feudal system, the coming of the danes and their settlement and a cultural renaissance initiated by the British following the construction of the east indian railway and the consequent industrial development. Ruins of Hindu temples are still found in Serampore, like the one known as Henry Martin's Pagoda, the temple of Radhaballabhjeu in Ballabhpur (eighteenth century), the Ram-Sita temple in Sripur and the temple of Gauranga in Chatra dating back to the 16th century. banglapedia.org /HT/S_0211.HTM   (2486 words)

Friends of Serampore Serampore College was founded in 1818 by Carey, Marshman and Ward to give an education in Arts and Science to students of every 'caste, colour or country' and to train a ministry for the growing Church in India. Serampore was then a Danish colony, but the status has been reaffirmed for the study of Theology to the present day. From 1800, Serampore was the centre of his work as translator of the Bible, linguist, social reformer, teacher and preacher of the Gospel. www.friendsofserampore.org.uk   (395 words)

William Carey Missionary to India - Missionary Biographies - Worldwide Missions Thomas to Serampore, a carpenter belonging to the town was brought to the mission-house with a dislocated arm. He was at first inclined to follow the anti-missionary policy of his predecessor, but on personal acquaintance with the missionaries he treated them with both consideration and esteem and before he left India in 1813 paid a generous and public tribute to their personal worth and exalted labours. Both were buried in that consecrated acre in Serampore which encloses the mortal remains of that devoted band who have made that Station famous in the annals of Missions. www.wholesomewords.org /missions/bcarey8.html   (6785 words)

William Cary Indian Mission Serampore's pioneer missionaries thus need to be seen as players on a large multi-cultural playing field at a very unusual moment in time. An unpleasant schism with the BMS followed in 1827 and the Serampore Mission found itself stranded.(9) As a result, British Baptist mission work ceased to be at the forefront of the world mission movement from the 1820s onwards. This was addressed by Serampore's leaders in a bold and creative manner during the bicentennial "Carey celebrations" of 1992-1993, when they established a new mission studies programme in the college's theology department. www.csichurch.com /article/william_carey.htm   (9809 words)

Southern Baptist Historical Library & Archives - William Carrey The leading figure in the "Serampore Trio," with William Ward assisting him as printer and Joshua Marshman as educator, Carey sought to give the Indian people literary tools and resources that would enable them to evangelize their own country. Serampore College, which Carey and his colleagues established in 1810 to train Christian leadership, remains today one of the outstanding educational institutions of Asia and stands as a tribute to its founder's original vision and careful planning. His prolonged efforts for social reform led to the passage of laws prohibiting the heathen practice of infanticide, disposing of children for religious or economic motives; and abolishing the suttee rite of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. www.sbhla.org /bio_carey.htm   (643 words)

maldives - the lost dhivehi gospels translated by a maldivian The earliest explicit Serampore reference I have found is in the Preface to Volume V of the Periodical Accounts relative to the Baptist Missionary Society, which summarized the state of progress at the close of 1812. Another possible scenario, suggested to me by a Maldivian resident, is that the controversial manuscripts were removed from Serampore to Malé on the orders of the Maldivian government as a condition for the translator's pardon, and there scrutinized and subsequently destroyed. However this would seem to be ruled out by the apparent implication of the last Serampore references to the effect that the missionaries still had the translation though not the translator. www.christusrex.org /www1/pater/images1/dhivehi-lost-gospels.htm   (3070 words)

The Life of William Carey by George Smith Fuller's, too, was the special merit of realising that, while a missionary committee or church are fellow-workers only with the men and women abroad, the Serampore Brotherhood was a self-supporting, and to that extent a self-governing body in a sense true of no foreign mission ever since. On both sides of their independence, as trustees of the property which they had created and gifted to the Society on this condition, and as a self-supporting, self-elective brotherhood, it became necessary, for the unbroken peace of the mission and the success of their work, that they should vindicate their moral and legal position. Such was Dr. Carey's position in the Christian world that the Dyer party considered it important for their interest to separate him from his colleagues, and if not to claim his influence for their side, at least to neutralise it. holycall.com /books/LWC82.HTM   (995 words)

91-a21b   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Serampore indicated in its questionnaire response that the receipt of its advance license was linked to exports of subject merchandise to the United States. Consequently, because the value of the advance license was deducted in computing the amount of the additional licenses, only that portion of the additional licenses corresponding to the value added to the subject merchandise is countervailable. Because the income reported was based on a tax return covering a period of 21 months, the calculation of the subsidy using such income grossly overstates the subsidy since the denominator used in the calculation only covers exports for 12 months. ia.ita.doc.gov /esel/india/91-a21b.html   (6077 words)

LIFE OF WILLIAM CAREY (Chapter 15) It is a pleasure to record that while this volume is in the press (1909), a scheme is being promoted by the College Council for the reorganisation of the College on the lines of Carey’s ideal, with a view to making it a centre of higher ministerial training for all branches of the Indian Church. It is justly claimed that such a Christian University at Serampore will both unify and raise the standard of theological education in the Indian Church, helping to build the Eastern structure of Christian thought and life on the one Foundation of Jesus Christ, the Word of God. It is prepared to welcome as full professors of the College, in Arts and Theology, representatives of other evangelical missions, who shall have special superintendence of the students belonging to their respective denominations, and be free to give them such supplementary instruction as may be thought necessary. www.biblebelievers.com /carey/Carey15.html   (946 words)
