One of my former priests, Craig Bustrin once told me that Schereschewsky was one Anglican Saint that he would like to get a relic of.

Before passing away in 1906, he completed translating the Bible. He said, "I have sat in this chair for over twenty years. It seemed very hard at first. But God knew best. He kept me for the work for which I am best suited."

Joseph Schereschewsky was born to Jewish parents in the Lithuanian town of Tauroggen. He started off Presbyterian, and then, he joined the Episcopal Church. He was elected Bishop of Shanghai in 1877, when he began translating the Bible into Classical Chinese.

What I like about his story, is that it demonstrates the power of discourse in evangelism, and not something that can be condensed into an easy soundbite. It's something that Christians could learn today.
