Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England
The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England was a British organization to promote missionary activity across the Atlantic in New England and Canada from 1649 until 1786. The Society supported the early efforts of John Eliot in Massachusetts which culminated in the first Bible translation of a Native American language, known as the Eliot Indian Bible. The Society also played a critical role in funding and founding many notable institutions in the United States, which provided outreach to Native Americans, including Harvard Indian College and Dartmouth College.
