Wheaton College this fall will dedicate a new memorial plaque in honor of missionaries who were killed 65 years ago while trying to spread Christianity to Indigenous peoples in the Amazonian region of Ecuador.
CHICAGO (RNS) Wheaton College is rewording a plaque on its campus that referred to Indigenous people as “savage Indians.”
The plaque honors missionaries Jim Elliot, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, RogerYouderian and Pete Fleming who were killed in 1956 while attempting to share their Christian faith with the Waorani people in Ecuador.
It was donated to the school in 1957 by Wheaton’s class of 1949 in remembrance of their classmates, Elliot and McCully. Saint also graduated from the flagship evangelical school a year later.
“In the 64 years since the College received this gift, we have continued to grow in our understanding of how to show God’s love and respect to people from every culture,” Wheaton College President Philip Ryken said in a written statement.
