Compared to Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer, Oliver R. Avison is not well known. Seeking to achieve more internationalrecognition for Avison, this article elaborates on Avison’s work with hospital and educational institutions from a post-colonialperspective. Schweitzer and Avison each wrote their memoires in an autobiographical style, and this article deals primarily withthose writings, which are published under the titles Out of My Life and Thought by Schweitzer and The Land of the Morning Calmby Avison. Schweitzer and Avison were contemporaries and worked in medical service in the colonial period. Thus, they havecertain commonalities. However, this article will elaborate on how Avison approached his mission differently in order to promotesustainability, equality and subjectivity in his work. Avison carried out more than mere charity work, he also accomplished sustainabledevelopment of his hospital, as well as its affiliated educational institution. The current circumstances of Severance Hospitaland Yonsei University in Korea, compared to that of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, are clear evidence of this. Avison’s extraordinary missionary work did not reflect the more negative side effects of colonial heritage intertwined with missionwork in the 19th Century. Avison’s case should be better known as a model of ecumenical mission towards sustainable development.
Abstract
Compared to Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer, Oliver R. Avison is not well known. Seeking to achieve more internationalrecognition for Avison, this article elaborates on Avison’s work with hospital and educational institutions from a post-colonialperspective. Schweitzer and Avison each wrote their memoires in an autobiographical style, and this article deals primarily withthose writings, which are published under the titles Out of My Life and Thought by Schweitzer and The Land of the Morning Calmby Avison. Schweitzer and Avison were contemporaries and worked in medical service in the colonial period. Thus, they havecertain commonalities. However, this article will elaborate on how Avison approached his mission differently in order to promotesustainability, equality and subjectivity in his work. Avison carried out more than mere charity work, he also accomplished sustainabledevelopment of his hospital, as well as its affiliated educational institution. The current circumstances of Severance Hospitaland Yonsei University in Korea, compared to that of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, are clear evidence of this. Avison’s extraordinary missionary work did not reflect the more negative side effects of colonial heritage intertwined with missionwork in the 19th Century. Avison’s case should be better known as a model of ecumenical mission towards sustainable development.
