Thomas H. Branch

  • ... that the Seventh-day Adventist Church withdrew Thomas H. Branch as a missionary to the British Central Africa Protectorate to appease the colonial government? "because the Seventh-day Adventist Church wanted the mission to be viewed in a positive light by the colonial government and removal all doubts of loyalty, in 1907 the General Conference decided to send a white man, Joel C Rogers, to Nyasaland to take charge of the mission" from: Chaudhuri, Nupur; Strobel, Margaret (1992). Western Women and Imperialism: Complicity and Resistance. Indiana University Press. p. 218. ISBN 978-0-253-20705-0.

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I prefer ALT1 and ALT2. A QPQ has been done. @Dumelow: Please check the article carefully because in two places, I think you refer to "Booth" where you mean "Branch", and there might be others. Who is the "Dr James Hyatt Branch" who suddenly appears near the end? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks Cwmhiraeth, well spotted. I've fixed those two plus one in the lead, what a nightmare! With the other error it should have been "Dr James Hyatt" who lectured with the Branchs, I've clarified this. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 06:41, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. That looks better! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
