Summary: | Dr. Thomas A. Lambie was spiritually nourished within the American United Presbyterian Church. He served as a missionary in British Sudan (1907-17, 1938-42), Abyssinia/Ethiopia (1918-36), and Palestine (1946-54). Using gifts of diplomacy and medical prowess, Lambie, from 1927, headed the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM) in Abyssinia, which sought to evangelize the primal religionists of southern Abyssinia. During ten years of pioneering mission effort by Lambie and nearly 100 SIM cohorts, a young church of fifty baptized believers was formed. He was instrumental in building a hospital in Abyssinia and, later, a tuberculosis sanatorium in Bethlehem, Palestine. |
