Abstract
"In the historical research on the United Methodist Church in Shimenkan, the glamour of Samuel Pollard shadows the efforts of his colleagues. In this article, with the help of the archives and personal correspondence of Samuel Pollard and Harry Parsons who was Pollard’s colleague and successor, I will retrace the history of Christianity in the Da Hua Miao ethnic group and discover the differences between Pollard’s and Parsons’ mission thoughts from the perspective of theology, mission strategy and attitude towards relationship between missionary and local community. Then I will reconstruct the development of the United Methodist church in Shimenkan, which was the fruit of Pollard’s emphasis on development plus Parsons’ pragmatic attitude. Both attributed to lay the foundation of the unique “Teacher-Preacher” community of the United Methodist Church. "
