History
The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) was a Church of England missionary organization operated in the British Atlantic world in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Society was founded in 1701 by Reverend Thomas Bray and operated in North America until the establishment of the United States of America in 1783. The Society continued to operate in British North America and expanded into a global missionary organization through the 19th century. In 1965, the Society was reorganized as the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG). The Society continues to operate as "United Society" or US.
