Baringa chapel interior, Congo, ca. 1900-1915

Black and white lantern slide showing the interior of the Regions Beyond Missionary Union chapel at Baringa. Long wooden benches face up to a small wooden altar, behind which is an elaborate dark wood chair on a raised platform. A room behind the main chapel space can be seen through an open doorway. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission Regions Beyond Missionary Union after 1900.
