Description
“Preaching at the market, Dr Irvine & Miss Malcolm.” Crowd scene showing a large indigenous population gathered around a missionary service. Dr Irvine is seated with a bible and Miss Malcolm plays the organ. Rita Butter-Malcolm worked in women’s education and as a nurse. The Rev. Solomon Ndambi, who is showing bible pictures to the crowd, came to Chogoria in 1928 as the Parish minister. ❧ The image is from the first twenty years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, glimpses into the past’.
