Methodist church, Nigeria, ca. 1938

Black and white photograph showing a stone-built Methodist church in southeast Nigeria. Two female missionaries stand in front of the simple building with two Nigerian women. A similar building can be seen in the background, which suggests that the church may be part of a missionary compound. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital run by the Methodist Missionary Society in modern Abia state, southeast Nigeria.
