      History

      (中文版在下面) In 1888, a Mrs. M. Monck, daughter of pioneer missionary Rev. Ebeneezer Robson, began teaching English classes to Chinese students in her father's home. In November of that year, Mr. Chan Sing Kai, who had worked in the Wesleyan Methodist School in Hong Kong for the previous eight years, arrived in Vancouver to set up a mission. After three years, he was ordained by the Methodist Church in Canada. The mission initially met in small quarters near Hastings and Abbott, then relocated to quarters on the south-east corner of Hastings and Columbia Streets. As the mission outgrew its space, it moved to 186 Pender Street West, in the heart of Chinatown. A new building was completed at 531 Beatty Street in 1906; it contained a chapel that would accommodate 300, rooms for Sunday school, and a night school. At church union in 1925, the mission joined The United Church of Canada.

      历史简介
      1888 年,先驱传教士Ebeneezer Robson牧师的女儿 M. Monck 夫人开始在她父亲的家中为中国学生教授英语课程。同年十一月,曾在香港卫斯理 (Wesleyan)卫理公会学校工作八年的陈星阶 (Chan Sing Kai)先生抵达温哥华设立布道会。三年后,他被加拿大卫理公会按立牧职。传道部最初在Hastings和Abbott街附近的小宿舍会面,然后搬迁到Hastings和Columbia街东南角的宿舍。随着教友人数的不断增加, 聚会空间明显不够,传道部搬到了唐人街中心的 186 Pender Street West。 1906 年,一座新建筑在Beatty街 531 号落成;此建筑含有一个可容纳 300 人的小教堂、主日学校的几个房间和一所夜校。在 1925 年的教会联合会上,此传道部加入了加拿大协和教会。

      1. 中文名陈星阶源于此文 Chan Sing Kai (1854-1952) | Victoria's Chinatown (uvic.ca)并得到档案馆首肯。
