Black and white photograph featuring a group of missionaries attending a synod at Oron in modern Akwa-Ibom state, Nigeria, in 1939. The group is mainly made up of European male and female missionaries, although five Nigerian pastors and workers are present. They are pictured in front of a corrugated iron building. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital in southeast Nigeria, run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
