Although much has been written about the struggle to survive and prosper for Chinese immigrants in Canada, little has been written analyzing the fervent desire common among Protestant evangelicals to convert the Chinese to Christianity--a mission that was seen not only as necessary to save their souls, but urgent to protect and preserve the values of the dominant culture.
