Publication Place: Shantung, China, Asia
Description: Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive.
Frame 30 - Theological Faculty and students on the steps of their hall, the McGotch-Robinson School of Theology. Six faculty members are shown. It will be noted that some of the students are older than others; many of these have been serving the Chinese Church in some lay capacity and have come to Cheeloo for further training. One notable feature of this building is a small chapel which has been simply and beautifully furnished, in a way which might be copied in any village, using Chinese furniture adapted to the requirements of worship. The Chinese characters for 'Alpha and Omega' are carved at the ends of the pews, and the characters over the door invite to a place of meditation and worship. A relatively large group of people, both Chinese and Western, outside a building. The majority of Asian people in the group are in traditional Chinese dress, although a few are in Western clothing. The missionaries in the group are all in Western dress.
