George Leslie Mackay
George Leslie Mackay (Chinese: 偕叡理 or 馬偕; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kai Jōe-lí or Má-kai; March 21, 1844 – June 2, 1901, aged 57) was the first Presbyterian missionary to northern Formosa (Qing-era Taiwan). He served with the Canadian Presbyterian Mission. Mackay is among the best known Westerners to have lived in Taiwan.
Early life
Mackay was born in Zorra Township, Oxford County, Canada West (now Ontario), Canada. He received his theological training at Knox College in Toronto, Princeton Seminary in the United States, and New College, Edinburgh in Scotland, all Presbyterian institutions.
Mission to Formosa
In 1871 Mackay became the first foreign missionary to be commissioned by the Canada Presbyterian Church (predecessor of both the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the United Church of Canada), arriving in Taiwan on New Year's Eve, 31 December 1871.
After consulting with Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Sr., a medical doctor serving as a Presbyterian Church of England missionary to southern Formosa (1865), Mackay arrived at Tamsui, northern Formosa in 1872, which remained his home until his death in 1901. Starting with an itinerant dentistry practice amongst the lowland aborigines, he later established churches, schools and a hospital practicing Western biomedicine. He learned to speak vernacular Taiwanese fluently, and married Tiuⁿ Chhang-miâ (張聰明; known as "Minnie" in the West), a Taiwanese woman.

George Leslie (politician)
George Andrew Leslie (born 21 November 1936) is a Scottish nationalist politician.
Leslie studied at Hillhead High School and Glasgow University before becoming a vet. He joined the Scottish National Party (SNP) in the early 1960s, and was selected to stand for the party at the Glasgow Pollok by-election, 1967. During the by-election one observer described his speeches as being in the style of Jimmy Maxton. His campaign also featured the singing of both traditional and topical Scottish songs. Although the party had never previously contested the seat, Leslie took 28% of the vote. The Labour Party share of the vote dropped considerably, enabling the Conservative Party to win - their last by-election gain of the century in Scotland. Leslie's campaign marked the start of a year of successes for the SNP, including becoming the largest party in local government in Stirling, and victory in the Hamilton by-election.
Leslie was soon elected to the Glasgow Corporation, and, in 1969, became the SNP's Senior Vice-Chairman. Later, he served as a Strathclyde Regional councillor for East Kilbride, and he stood as the SNP candidate for Glasgow at the European Parliament election in 1979, taking 16.4% of the vote.

George Leslie Mackay: A Missionary of the Master, a Master of Missions
Speaker: Dr. Ma Sheng-mei 馬聖美, Michigan State University In George Leslie MacKay’s memoir From Far Formosa, the operative word is “far,” denoting space or distance, geographically, temporally and affectively. A Freudian slip of tongue would render From Far Formosa in an alternative title, Far From Formosa. Such Freudian, subconscious shift conjures up the postcolonial duality of “A Missionary of the Master; A Master of Missions.” What hails from afar spatially may be, in MacKay’s opening remarks to his memoir, “dear to [the] heart” (13). On the other hand, what lies nearby slips from consciousness altogether because the heart’s desire is projected elsewhere. MacKay’s memoir is fraught with such tensions over far and near, self- sacrifice and self-glorification, elaborate pretensions and t...

Speaker: Dr. Ma Sheng-mei 馬聖美, Michigan State University
In George Leslie MacKay’s memoir From Far Formosa, the operative word is “far,” denoting space or distance, geographically, temporally and affectively. A Freudian slip of tongue would render From Far Formosa in an alternative title, Far From Formosa. Such Freudian, subconscious shift conjures up the postcolonial duality of “A Missionary of the Master; A Master of Missions.” What hails from afar spatially may be, in MacKay’s opening remarks to his memoir, “dear to [the] heart” (13). On the other hand, what lies nearby slips from consciousness altogether because the heart’s desire is projected elsewhere. MacKay’s memoir is fraught with such tensions over far and near, self- sacrifice and self-glorification, elaborate pretensions and thinly veiled hubris.
An extraordinary missionary of the Master, MacKay was the first Canadian Presbyterian missionary to Formosa, the first to establish a Christian school to train native preachers, and the first to found a medical facility, which continues to bear his name to this day. Serving the Master, this valiant vanguard is himself a master of missions. The epigraph bares the personal pride that is barely concealed by the façade of Christian humility. “Many of the church’s first” sounds like a roundabout way to call attention to his myriad daredevil accomplishments. The pun of “daredevil” is not gratuitous, given the heathen land MacKay ventures into on his own initiative, after refusing to join the largely established foreign mission in Swatow, China. These firsts “may be last when the Master comes” is a hypothetical that validates the status of the alpha, albeit with a nod to the omega. Since the Messiah is yet to come, those groundbreaking feats contribute to the glory and the power of a martyr in service of the Lord. Since the Lord is the alpha and the omega in heaven, the first and the last of MacKay’s worldly deeds are becoming to a master of missions on earth. MacKay’s memoir is fraught with such tensions over far and near, self-sacrifice and self-glorification, elaborate pretensions and thinly veiled hubris.

Speaker: Dr. William Butt , Secretary of the Canadian Mackay Committee
Rev. George Leslie Mackay, the challenges and conflicts he faced in his life, and the complexities of his theology and personality, are conducive to vivid live story-telling and narrative structure. This presentation will examine theatrical portrayals of Mackay—puppetry, opera and theatre for children and adult—to show how Mackay is much more than a subject for one-dimensional hagiography. In our contemporary 2020s context, any portrayal of Mackay will need to confront and navigate such sensitive concepts as the white-saviour trope, post-colonialism and the often dour and dated early-nineteenth-century Presbyterian dogma that Mackay both espoused and adapted. A community play about Mackay produced in 2018 in Mackay’s birthplace of Zorra will serve as a case-study of how theatre can recast and enrich our understanding of Mackay and his relevance in our times.

In our contemporary 2020s context, any portrayal of Mackay will need to confront and navigate such sensitive concepts as the white-saviour trope, post-colonialism and the often dour and dated early-nineteenth-century Presbyterian dogma that Mackay both espoused and adapted. A community play about Mackay produced in 2018 in Mackay’s birthplace of Zorra will serve as a case-study of how theatre can recast and enrich our understanding of Mackay and his relevance in our times.

George Leslie MacKay a hero of Taiwan born near Woodstock Ontario Canada to Scottish Immigrant parents, raised on a farm in Embro, Zorro Township, attended school in Woodstock Ontario.
George MacKay was a Presbyterian Minister who became a missionary in Northern Taiwan (Formosa), living in the Tamsui District. He established a school with funds raised in Woodstock and Oxford County in Ontario Canada, which became the Oxford University College, now called Aletheia University.
George MacKay (Má-kai), brought dentistry to Tamsui and helped the poor farmers by providing dentistry help, extracting teeth that were causing problems and pain to people. In return he converted them to Christianity and created educational opportunities that hadn't existed before.
George Leslie MacKay through his missionary work established churches, schools and a hospital in Tamsui.
This is the monument to George Leslie MacKay in Woodstock Ontario, Canada unveiled in June 2004 with delegations from Taiwan and representatives of the Canadian Government and the Canadian Presbyterian Church. Taiwan tourists to Canada often make a detour to visit the home town and monument of George Leslie MacKay.

On his 180th birthday, I rose to recognize a great Canadian and Taiwanese hero: George Leslie Mackay. Born in the Village of Embro, Mackay travelled to Taiwan as a missionary and made it his home. Over almost 30 years there, he founded churches and built several schools and a hospital. Mackay helped establish the close ties and shared values between Taiwan and Canada.

In George Leslie MacKay’s memoir From Far Formosa, the operative word is “far,” denoting space or distance, geographically, temporally and affectively. A Freudian slip of tongue would render From Far Formosa in an alternative title, Far From Formosa. Such Freudian, subconscious shift conjures up the postcolonial duality of “A Missionary of the Master; A Master of Missions.” What hails from afar spatially may be, in MacKay’s opening remarks to his memoir, “dear to [the] heart” (13). On the other hand, what lies nearby slips from consciousness altogether because the heart’s desire is projected elsewhere. MacKay’s memoir is fraught with such tensions over far and near, self- sacrifice and self-glorification, elaborate pretensions and thinly veiled hubris.
An extraordinary missionary of the Master, MacKay was the first Canadian Presbyterian missionary to Formosa, the first to establish a Christian school to train native preachers, and the first to found a medical facility, which continues to bear his name to this day. Serving the Master, this valiant vanguard is himself a master of missions. The epigraph bares the personal pride that is barely concealed by the façade of Christian humility. “Many of the church’s first” sounds like a roundabout way to call attention to his myriad daredevil accomplishments. The pun of “daredevil” is not gratuitous, given the heathen land MacKay ventures into on his own initiative, after refusing to join the largely established foreign mission in Swatow, China. These firsts “may be last when the Master comes” is a hypothetical that validates the status of the alpha, albeit with a nod to the omega. Since the Messiah is yet to come, those groundbreaking feats contribute to the glory and the power of a martyr in service of the Lord. Since the Lord is the alpha and the omega in heaven, the first and the last of MacKay’s worldly deeds are becoming to a master of missions on earth. MacKay’s memoir is fraught with such tensions over far and near, self-sacrifice and self-glorification, elaborate pretensions and thinly veiled hubris.

In the mid-19th century, Taiwan opened its ports to foreign merchants and Western missionaries. One of the first missionaries in north Taiwan was a Canadian, George Leslie Mackay.
He came to Taiwan aged 27, and established north Taiwan’s first Western hospital. He made frequent missionary tours, extracting teeth and treating diseases for free. He established the first girls’ school in Taiwan, Tamsui Girls’ School. He married a Taiwanese woman, and brought up his children here, before passing away with cancer aged 57. He was buried in Tamsui, where he had preached. As he put it, his youth and his life were all devoted to Taiwan.
On today’s episode of Taiwan History: the life of George Leslie Mackay.

Pastor KC Liu
______________________________
ROMANS 15:20-24
20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. 21 Rather, as it is written:
“Those who were not told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”[a]
22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you, 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.

George Leslie Mackay
George Leslie Mackay (Chinese: 偕叡理 or 馬偕; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kai Jōe-lí or Má-kai; March 21, 1844 – June 2, 1901, aged 57) was the first Presbyterian missionary to northern Formosa (Qing-era Taiwan). He served with the Canadian Presbyterian Mission. Mackay is among the best known Westerners to have lived in Taiwan.
Early life
Mackay was born in Zorra Township, Oxford County, Canada West (now Ontario), Canada. He received his theological training at Knox College in Toronto, Princeton Seminary in the United States, and New College, Edinburgh in Scotland, all Presbyterian institutions.
Mission to Formosa
In 1871 Mackay became the first foreign missionary to be commissioned by the Canada Presbyterian Church (predecessor of both the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the United Church of Canada), arriving in Taiwan on New Year's Eve, 31 December 1871.
After consulting with Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Sr., a medical doctor serving as a Presbyterian Church of England missionary to southern Formosa (1865), Mackay arrived at Tamsui, northern Formosa in 1872, which remained his home until his death in 1901. Starting with an itinerant dentistry practice amongst the lowland aborigines, he later established churches, schools and a hospital practicing Western biomedicine. He learned to speak vernacular Taiwanese fluently, and married Tiuⁿ Chhang-miâ (張聰明; known as "Minnie" in the West), a Taiwanese woman.
