The year 1959 was the 100th year since the first protestant missionaries came to Japan. The Nagasaki Christian Council held an extraordinary general assembly. In the Council, they decided that they would holda centennial celebration ceremony and established a preparatory committee.The history of the protestant missionaries began in 1859, when six protestant missionaries landed in Japan from America. John Liggins came to Nagasaki in May., in June, Channing Moore Williams came toNagasaki. They were sent from the Episcopal Church. James Curtis Hepburn, a Presbyterian, landed at Kanagawa in October. The Reformed Church in America sent three missionaries. Guido Herman Fridolin Verbeck to Nagasaki, and Samuel Robins Brown and Duane B. Simmons to Kanagawa. These protestant missionaries helped Japan to absorb information from the English speaking world. In this paper, the author describes the situation surrounding Japan and these missionaries at that time.
