Abstract

Founded in 1810 in Connecticut with the goal to spread Christianity worldwide, American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions had taken Anatolia into its targets. Starting with the first missionaries who were sent to Izmir in 1819 and Istanbul in 1831, American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions continued its activities in Oorfa in 1844, where the Armenian and Syrian population was high, by distributing bible and religious publications. In this study, besides missionaries’ religious works, the Board’s contribution in terms of social, cultural and economic activities, such as hospitals, orphanages, schools, handmade workshops, church houses, and churches will be stated. Additionally, their perspective on Armenian riots and their relations with the Ottoman government will be covered.

Özet

1810 yılında ABD’nin Connecticut eyaletinde Hıristiyanlığı tüm dünyaya yaymak gayesiyle kurulan Amerikan misyoner teşkilatı “Amerikan Bord”, Anadolu topraklarını öncelikli hedefleri arasına aldı. Anadolu’daki faaliyetlerini 1819’da İzmir’e, 1831’de İstanbul’a gönderdiği ilk misyonerleri ile başlatan Amerikan Bord, 1844’te Ermenilerle Süryanilerin yoğun olarak yaşadığı Urfa’da incil ve dini kitaplar dağıtımı ile devam ettirdi. Bu çalışmada Tanzimat’tan Cumhuriyet’e kadar olan dönemde Amerikan Bord misyonerlerinin Urfa’da gerçekleştirdikleri dini yayma faaliyetlerinin yanı sıra, toplum hizmetine sundukları hastane, yetimhane, okullar, el işi atölyeleri, kilise evleri ve kiliseler üzerinde durularak sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik hayata katkıları ortaya konulacaktır. Ayrıca Ermeni isyanları ile ilgili tutumları ve Osmanlı devleti ile olan ilişkileri de ele alınacaktır.
