The chapter about missionaries includes the unusual story of a Methodist missionary ship, the Congregational abolitionist who was imprisoned prior to the Civil War before coming to Leelanau, and a Catholic missionary who became a bishop for nine years and then returned to his missionary work in Leelanau. You will also read about how the United States government supported some of these missionaries.
The book is a valuable resource for current Church leaders so they can initiate praying and working together for a better Leelanau for all residents and visitors.
