I had heard about her before we married, but I had forgotten about her until I retired and wanted something to write about. I was astounded to learn what a remarkable woman she was and that she and her husband established the first Baptist mission in China in 1835. Chinese Baptists venerate her, and a school is named for her in Hong Kong.(less)

Brenda’s Quotes

“The challenge to writers today, I think, is not to disown any part of our heritage. Whatever our theme in writing, it is old and tried. Whatever our place, it has been visited by the stranger, it will never be new again. It is only the vision that can be new; but that is enough.”
― Eudora Welty, On Writing
