"Station Conference Protocol"

The protocol was written by W. Huppenbauer. It concerns with the local agents in Akim. Huppenbauer advises that J. Seth and J. Asumen be fully accepted as local agents. The former at Kwaben has succeeded in getting the Christians to set out and build themselves a chapel, has also worled to start a school, and has carried on his preaching journeys energetically. The latter has a community school numbering 40 in Begoro, has been working to increase the numbers of children involved, and seems to be exerting himself to steer clear of his old inefficiency. Ofori has begged to be transferred from Kibi – his wife’s illness has already kept her in Akwapim for over a year. Boabea is apparently and Asiakwa man. He suggests that Sakyi should be removed from Asiaman to somewhere where he can be closely supervised, and replaced by Teacher Dako who has difficulties in Apedwa because this is in his wife’s home town and he is involved in all sorts of family affairs. Apedwa would then have to be left without a resident agent. The catechist in Tumfa wants assistance – Huppenbauer proposes Obroni of Kwabeng who had previously been in the Teachers’ Seminary. Fankyenenko needs an agent too – there are catechumen in Dwenase, Obompe and Osino. In Fankyenenko there is little interest, but there is a house with two rooms already inhabitable. They propose for the post the Kibi Christian Brako who can read and write, a young upright man who has a good reputation. He also suggests that Anyinasin should have a teacher. For that place he would propose Amoa from Tete, who could be replaced by Okyiri, a young literate from Kibi. The Abomosu community have pleaded not to be entirely ‘thrown away’.
