Peter Parker and the Opening of China
Edward Vose Gulick
The mission movement, carrier of Western ideas, techniques, attitudes, and institutions, was a major agent of nineteenth-century international change. Dr. Peter Parker, preacher, physician, and diplomat, played a unique part in this convergence between China and the West. Transforming missionary activity, Parker helped found the Medical Missionary Society in China; evangelized for years in his own special way among the Chinese; participated in a quixotic attempt to “open” Japan years before Commodore Perry; and served the United States first as a charge in the newly established American Legation, later as Commissioner to China.
