Scope and Contents
"Eglise du Christ au Congo" (Church of Christ in Congo) is an organization grouping most of the Protestant churches in Congo. It evolved out of a series of organizations formed in the early 20th century to avoid duplication and competition among Protestant churches working in the Belgian Congo. [F. Scott Bobb, 1999: Historical Dictionary of Democratic Republic of Congo, The Scarecrow Press, Inc.]. During his trip to Congo (now Democratic Republic of Congo), Elisofon visited the American Presbyterian Congo Mission at Luebo, Kasai Occidental Province. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
