Abstract:The Sudan Interior Mission (SIM) was begun by Rowland Victor Bingham as a fundamentalist Christian mission initially and unsuccessfully in Nigeria. Later, in 1907, Dr Thomas Lambie established a branch in the southern area of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan among the Nuer and the Shilluck on the border with Ethiopia. It took many years of negotiations before its missionaries were allowed access to Ethiopia itself, the catalysts occurring with the outbreak of Spanish influenza in 1919, when it was allowed in to do medical work. It was only in 1928 that it received official permission to set up mission stations in the area of Wellega. It now has a congregation of some 4 million people. This article traces the history of its establishment in Ethiopia. Notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
