Abstract	:	This dissertation examines the role that Churches of Christ missionary Sarah Andrews (1863-1961) played in transforming the denomination’s identity in the twentieth century. In partnership with Japanese missionary Iki Naemura, Andrews extended the presence of the denomination to southern Japan. This international growth of Churches of Christ inculcated a global consciousness within the North American denomination. Moving beyond denominational concerns centered on its geographic region in the American South, by the mid-twentieth century, Churches of Christ existed as an international network of congregations with a presence in forty different countries across the globe. Discourse about Andrews by denominational leaders reflected a growing self- awareness as a global Christian tradition as Churches of Christ moved beyond its American origins. Andrews shaped Churches of Christ in the twentieth century both directly and indirectly: she extended the global presence of the denomination and also became a mirror in which denominational leaders reflected the developing identity of their tradition.
