For paid subscribers I have recorded a presentation that I gave earlier this year at an event for the Ecclesiastical History Society. This is current research that is forming part of a book I am writing about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in British India in the years after the closure of the East Indies Mission.
In 2001 R. Lanier Britsch published an article on the history of the 1851-1856 Latter-day Saint mission to India. Within the text he noted:
“The history of the sixty-one Saints who remained in India when the mission closed in 1856 is, with one or two exceptions, unknown.”
This book is filling this gap. I have been amazed at the material that has been discovered and the stories that have come out. Stay tuned for more developments over the coming months!
