In Sierra Leone, the ... was the first established Christian Church for British freed slaves among others
Answer Details
The Church Missionary Society (CMS) was the first established Christian Church in Sierra Leone for British freed slaves and others. The CMS was founded in 1799 by a group of Anglican clergymen and laymen in England, with the aim of spreading Christianity and combating the slave trade in Africa. The society established several mission stations in Sierra Leone, including Regent and Hastings, and played a key role in the education and evangelization of the people. The CMS was also instrumental in the founding of Fourah Bay College, the first western-style university in West Africa.
