Amerikan board kayıtlarına göre bursa’da papaz dövüşü: Amerikalı misyonerlerle yerli ruhban sınıfının iktidar mücadelesi (1832-1860)

Amerikan Board teşkilatına mensup misyonerler 1834 yılında Bursa istasyonunu kurmuşlardır. Hedef Bursa’da Protestanlığa iman etmiş bir cemaat teşkil etmektir. Ancak bu hedefe ulaşmak kolay değildir. Zira onlar misyonlarını yayarken ciddi sıkıntılarla uğraşmak zorunda kalmışlardır. Belki de bu sıkıntıların en büyüğü yerli ruhban sınıfının muhalif tavırlarıdır. Kentteki papaz ve rahipler uzun süre evangelik öğretinin önünü kesmek ve Protestanlık davasının Bursa’ya nüfuz etmesini engellemek için her türlü yolu denemişlerdir. Bu çalışmada iki grup arasındaki mücadelenin bizzat misyonerlerin gözüyle Bursa ekseninde incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir.
