The efforts of missionaries and local workers began to bear fruit by the outbreak of the Pacific War, later setting the stage for the inauguration of the Southeastern Asia Central Conference in 1950. It was to lead to the autonomy of The Methodist Church in Malaysia and in Singapore after many twists and turns.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Earnest Lau</note> <subject> <topic>History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Singapore</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Malaysia</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Methodist Church</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">287.095</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L366-E11</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9789814222426, 9814222429</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15406/14.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15406/14.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071456.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
