A Histo­ry of the Lu­ther­an Church, Dio­ce­se in the Aru­sha Re­gi­on from 1904 to 1958

The histo­ry of chris­tia­ni­ty in the Dio­ce­se in the Aru­sha Re­gi­on can be tra­ced as far back as the year 1893, when the first four pio­neer mis­sio­na­ries from Leip­zig Mis­si­on So­cie­ty set foot on the slo­pes of Mt. Ki­li­man­ja­ro. The Ge­ne­ral As­sem­bly of the Leip­zig Mis­si­on which met in Leip­zig Mis­si­on House on the 8th of June 1892 with one con­sen­sus aut­ho­ri­zed the Go­ver­ning Board to be­gin pre­pa­ra­ti­ons to open a new mis­si­on field in Ger­man East Af­ri­ca the pre­sent day Tan­z­a­nia.
