==Historical Background== | |||
Baptists arrived in Chile from Germany, Scotland and the United States from 1884 to 1917. They were the first real movement of Baptists to Chile, although President (General Director) Bernardo O’Higgins had invited Scottish Baptist Pastor James Thompson in 1821 to work to improve Chilean primary education using the Lancaster method. | |||
There were also a few Baptists included in the more general immigrations of Germans during the 1850s and 1860s to Valdivia, La Unión and Osorno, along with the later settlements around Lago Llanquihue. Some of the earliest German Baptists settled from Contulmo to Los Ángeles, down to Victoria, and also El Salto, Quillén Viejo and Temuco, including the Lichtenberg, Reinicke, Rolof, Meir, and Berg families, evangelizing German-speaking Roman Catholics. | |||
In 1908, twenty years after his initial arrival in the country and extensive labors, missionary William MacDonald and three hundred Baptist brethren founded the first evangelical Baptist convention in Chile.<ref>John Cobin, "Early Twentieth Century Baptists in Chile", posted May 18th 2018, https://escapeamericanow.info/early-twentieth-century-baptists-in-chile/, accessed 8 March 2020.</ref> | |||
