ABSTRACT
This chapter examines masculine control of discourse under several headings: safety, security and health, sexuality and marriage, honorary missionaries, personalities in conflict, and the interwar period. Safety, security, and sexuality were recurrent themes that brought male authority and the experience of women into opposition at times. In 1895 Walker saw female missionaries' roles as very restricted, perhaps better understood by noting that he had been in Uganda since 1887/1888 when the territory was still under company rule and the politics of Uganda-British relations were paramount. Overall, relations between men and women in the Mission were guided by prevailing attitudes in late Victorian, middle-class England, transformed into guidelines as to how missionaries should behave in their dealings across gender boundaries, with each other, and with Ugandans. Single male and female missionaries provided a strange example of Christian living. Sexual morality was incorporated in Christian values, which also had bearing on teaching Ugandans.
