Abstract
Notes on Borneo and early mission work by Reverend William Howell.
Biographical / Historical
The Borneo Mission Association was formed in 1909 to assist the work of the Anglican Church in Labuan, Sarawak, and British North Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia). Although it never sent out missionaries itself, Anglican missionaries had first visited Sarawak in 1848 at the invitation of James Brooke, its Rajah. From 1869 to 1909, Malaya (Malaysia), Singapore, and Borneo had operated as a single diocese. However, a separate diocese was created for Sabah in 1962.
