Watching for the Harmony, Hopedale Harbour - A Glimpse into Christian Missionary Work
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving titled "Watching for the Harmony, Hopedale Harbour" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a window into a significant chapter of history. The print depicts an illustration from the renowned book "Conquests of the Cross" edited by Edwin Hodder in 1890. In this scene, we witness a ship anchored in Hopedale Harbour, North America. It symbolizes hope and faith as it carries missionaries on their noble quest to spread Christianity across distant lands. These brave men and women were part of the Moravian Church, driven by their unwavering dedication to sharing their religious beliefs with others. Among them is Benjamin Franklin, not to be confused with his famous namesake. This Benjamin Franklin was one of many scientists who joined these missionary endeavors, blending religion and science harmoniously. Their presence highlights how even in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, scientific methods played an essential role. The image also subtly emphasizes gender equality as it portrays a female scientist among her male counterparts—a testament to inclusivity ahead of its time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that religion has long been intertwined with human exploration and discovery. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought harmony between faith and reason while striving to bring light into uncharted territories both spiritually and scientifically.
