Biographical Note / Administrative History

Administrative History

Presbyterian interests in Siam began in 1838 when the Reverend R.W. Orr from China visited Bangkok and strongly urged the opening of a mission there. In 1840, the Board of Foreign Missions appointed the Reverend and Mrs. W.P. Buell to Siam. They labored in Bangkok until 1843, whereupon Mrs. Buell's ill health mandated their return to the US. The mission remained vacant until the arrival of the Reverend and Mrs. Stephen Mattoon and Dr. and Mrs. Samuel House in 1847. Though the first Presbyterian Church in Siam was established in 1849, it took another ten years before the first Siamese convert was made. Government opposition to the missionaries characterized the first several years of the mission's existence. Most of this initial opposition had ceased by the mid 1850s. Following this period of initial opposition a station was established in the provincial capital of Petchaburi in 1860. In 1867, another station was opened in Chiengmai, 600 miles northwest of Bangkok. After the King of Siam issued a "Proclamation of Religious Liberty" in 1878, persecution of all foreign missionaries ceased and a period of rapid religious expansion commenced. Stations were opened at Lakawn (Lampang) in 1885, Rajaburi in 1889, Lampoon in 1891, Prae in 1893, Nan in 1894, Chiengrai in 1897, Pitsanuloke in 1899 and Sitamarat in 1900. In 1903, Kentung was established in the Shan States north of Siam. The station at Trang was opened in 1910. In 1917, Chiengrung was established; it was later incorporated with the Yunnan Mission in China.

Prior to 1922 there were two Presbyterian Missions in Siam. The North Siam Mission, often referred to as the North Laos Mission, centered around Chiangmai and became the springboard for missions that were later established in Lampang, Lampun, Chiangrai, Prae, Nan, Kentung and Chiengrung. Since it was not possible to travel between Chiangmai and Bangkok except during one season each year, the northern stations tended to work as a separate group. The South Siam Mission encompassed the stations of Pitsanuloke, Petchaburi, Rajaburi, Sitamarat and Trang. These stations became closely associated with Bangkok through personnel exchanges and through students from the provinces who attended Bangkok Christian College and Wattana Wittaya Academy. The isolation of the northern stations ended in 1922 when the railroad line reached Chiangmai, enabling the North Siam (North Laos) Mission to merge with the South Siam Mission. Thereafter the two missions were referred to as the Siam (later Thailand) Mission.

In 1932, the presbyteries of North and South Siam were released from the Synod of New York in order that they might form a national church. In 1934, the first General Assembly of the new church met in Bangkok and adopted a constitution. The name "The Church of Christ in Siam" was chosen with the hope that all Protestant bodies would become members of this autonomous national church. However, only members of the Presbyterian and American Baptist (Chinese) churches did so. Since the end of World War II, the Church of Christ in Siam has worked closely with the Presbyterian Board to continue the Church's ministry in Thailand.

The nature of the Presbyterian Church's ministry in Siam has been primarily evangelistic, educational and medical. The period of rapid religious expansion that began in the closing decades of the 19th century continued into the 20th century. Educational facilities such as Bangkok Christian College, the Harriet House school, the Wattana Wittaya Academy, the Dara Academy and the McGilvary Theological Seminary were established as part of the Church's ministry. The establishment of dispensaries and hospitals such as the McCormick Hospital and the leper asylums in Chiangmai and Seitamarat likewise accompanied the opening of every mission station.

Collection Overview

Record Group 84 documents the history of the Presbyterian Church's ministry in Siam from 1865-1973, with the bulk of the records dating from 1921-1922 (the year of the merger of the North and South Siam Missions) onwards. The records include minutes, annual station reports, correspondence, cables, Board letters, personal reports (including the annual missionary reports), statistical summaries (submitted annually for each station and each institution within the station), and property-related correspondence.

Missionary correspondence and missionaries' personal reports within this collection are arranged alphabetically by missionary's name, and all other materials, with the exception of the calendared correspondence, are arranged chronologically. The calendared correspondence was numbered by the BFM in no apparent order and no attempt was made to impose one.

The researcher will note that the numbering of folders in this collection begins again with each subseries rather than with each box. When a box contains more than one subseries, the folder numbers for the subsequent subseries will include an alphabetical suffix (e.g, Subseries 2, folder 1a).

Knowledge of the numbering system used by the BFM may be useful to the researcher. The number 23 was assigned to the North Siam (North Laos) Mission and the number 24 for the South Siam Mission. When the two missions merged, the number 24 was used for the Siam Mission. A hyphen followed the mission number. A second number was used to designate the type of material, as follows:

1 Minutes (catalogued in the PHS library)
2 Annual station reports
3 Correspondence with nationals and non-missionaries
4 Cables
5 Board letters
7 Correspondence with Board Secretary, also referred to as executive correspondence
8 Personal reports, including missionaries' annual reports
9 Statistical summaries, submitted annually for each station and each institution within the station
10 Correspondence regarding property and appropriations
11 Missionary correspondence

The country of Thailand has undergone several name changes since 1936. Prior to that year, the name Siam was used. From 1936-1946, the name Thailand was used in lieu of it. The word "thai" roughly translated from the native language means "free." The people have always referred to themselves as "Thai" and to their country as "Pratate Thai," i.e. "Thailand." The word "Siam" is European and it is presumed that the 1936 change was an expression of Thai nationalism. In 1946, apparently for pragmatic, bureaucratic considerations, the name again became Siam. Three years later, the name Thailand was officially adopted.
