Abstract
St. Mary’s Church has a history of more than a century. Since its founding in 1912, church and society in Hong Kong and in China as a whole have experienced dramatic changes. But the parish has maintained a sense of continuity through the faith of the people, the life of the diocese, and the work of the church.
This chapter examines the early history of St. Mary’s in the period between its founding and the beginning of the Japanese occupation in 1941. We will show how the parish developed from the Eyre Diocesan Refuge to a contextualized Chinese Anglican church.
