摘要
以往有人把近代基督教新教循道公会在黔滇川多民族地区传播并引发广泛的社会改革运动,笼统归之于外国传教士的作用。据一系列新发掘的资料可知:它的外因是在西方列强对中国的殖民侵略浪潮下来华的出身于英国社会下层和少数民族的柏格理等传教士;但发挥决定性主体作用的则为中国西南各族群众,没有他们,就没有这场在国内外影响深远的宗教与社会改革运动。
Some one said that the extensive spread and social reform movement of Methodism of modem Christian Protestantism were all operated by foreign missionaries. However, some new materials which are just exploerd tell us that although the external cause was Pollard and other missionaries who came from social lower strata and minorities of England and arrived in China in tide of colonial aggression, but , the groups'people of southwest China played the ro'e of the main part of this movement, without them,there would have no this religious and social reform movement which evoke worldwide reoercussion.
