Student Christian Movement

Japanese: 学生キリスト教運動 - がくせいキリストきょううんどう(英語表記)Student Christian Movement
Student Christian Movement
Abbreviation: SCM. The general term refers to Christian evangelism, research, and service activities for university students. The specific term refers to the student divisions of the YMCA and YWCA in the UK and the US, which were founded in the 19th century, the so-called Student Y movement. The Student Y summer school, held in 1886 in Mount Hermon, Massachusetts, under the direction of popular evangelist Moody, was the starting point of the Student Volunteer Movement, which encouraged university students to volunteer as missionaries, and the Student Christian Movement was born from this overseas missionary movement by university students.
