St Francis Magazine Vol 8, No 2 | April 2012 4.1 Two lists of local leaders, 1904 & 1920 A beginning can be made, though, from the CMS archives, for they contain two valuable lists of Arab Anglican clergy. One was published around 1904 and another dated 1920, and they give a framework for looking at those who followed in the footsteps of Michael Kawar. The first list comes from the previously mentioned Register of all CMS personnel, from its earliest days until 1904. The order of names here follows that of the register, and each entry gives some outline of origin, which parishes served, and ordination dates. Further details for some of those shown here are given in the biographies to be found later in this article. Spellings in English can never exactly match the Arabic, but the names are as shown in the register.
