| Admin history: |
For many years the General Committee of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society had formed ad hoc sub-committees or held special meetings to manage specific issues relating to one of their missionary districts or the region it formed part of. In 1900 they decided to form an India Sub-committee to initially manage all missionary matters in India (including areas now in Pakistan), Sri Lanka and Burma. The success of this sub-committee lead to the creation of further sub-committees and by the autumn of 1903 the following sub-committees were in place: India & Ceylon; China; Europe & South Africa; West Indies and West Africa. In 1912, as part of the restructuring of the committees (as well as the general administration) of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, these sub-committees ceased meeting. The work of the sub-committees for China, India & Ceylon were assumed by the Eastern Committee whilst the work of the sub-committees for Europe & South Africa and West Indies & West Africa were assumed by the Western Committee. |
